1 Kings 20
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Καὶ ἀμπελὼν εἷς ἦν τῷ Ναβουθαὶ τῷ Ἰσρανλείτῃ παρὰ τῷ ἅλῳ Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέως Σαμαρείας.
Now Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and chariots, he marched up, besieged Samaria, and waged war against it.
καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἀχαὰβ πρὸς Ναβουθαὶ λέγων Δός μοι τὸν ἀμπελῶνά σου καὶ ἔσται μοι εἰς κῆπον λαχάνων, ὅτι ἐγγίων οὗτος τῷ οἴκῳ μου, καὶ δώσω σοι ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλον ἀγαθὸν ὑπὲρ αὐτόν· εἰ δὲ ἀρέσκει ἐνώπιὸν σου, δώσω σοι ἀργύριον ἄλλαγμα ἀμπελῶνός σου τούτου, καὶ ἔσται μοι εἰς κῆπον λαχάνων.
Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel,
καὶ εἶπεν Ναβουθαὶ πρὸς Ἀχαάβ Μὴ γένοιτό μοι παρὰ θεοῦ μου δοῦναι κληρονομίαν πατέρων μου σοί.
saying, “This is what Ben-hadad says (note: Some texts break verse 2 and begin verse 3 at this point.): ‘Your silver and gold are mine, and your best wives and children are mine!’”
καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ πνεῦμα Ἀχαὰβ τεταραγμένον, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης αὐτοῦ καὶ συνεκάλυψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν ἄρτον.
And the king of Israel replied, “Just as you say, my lord the king: I am yours, along with all that I have.”
καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἰεζάβελ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοὺ πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ελάλησεν πρὸς αὐτόν Τί τὸ πνεῦμά σου τεταραγμένον, καὶ οὐκ εἶ σὺ ἐσθίων ἄρτον;
The messengers came back and said, “This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘I have sent to you to demand your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children.
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτήν Ὅτι ἐλάλησα πρὸς Ναβουθαι τὸν Ἰσραηλείτην λέγων Δός μοι τὸν ἀμπελῶνά σου ἀργυρίου· εἰ δὲ βουλει, δώσω σοι ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλον ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Οὐ δώσω σοι κληρονομίαν πατέρων μου.
But about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to search your palace and the houses of your servants. They will seize and carry away all that is precious to you.’”
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἰεζάβελ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ Σὺ νῦν οὕτως ποιεῖς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ισραήλ; ἀνάστηθι, φάγε ἄρτον καὶ σαυτοῦ γενοῦ· ἐγὼ δώσω σοι τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰσραηλείτου.
Then the king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said, “Please take note and see that this man is looking for trouble, for when he demanded my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, I did not deny him.”
καὶ ἔγραψεν βιβλίον ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Ἀχαὰβ καὶ ἐσθραγίσατο τῇ σφραγῖδι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ τοὺς ἐλευθέρους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας μετὰ Ναβουθαί.
And the elders and the people all said, “Do not listen to him or consent to his terms.”
καὶ ἐγέγραπτο ἐν τοῖς βιβλίοις λέγων Νηστεύσατε νηστείαν, καὶ καθίσατε τὸν Ναβουθαὶ ἐν ἀρχῇ τοῦ λαοῦ·
So Ahab answered the messengers of Ben-hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you demanded of your servant the first time I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” So the messengers departed and relayed the message to Ben-hadad.
καὶ ἐνκαθίσατε δύο ἄνδρας, υἱοὺς παρανόμων.
Then Ben-hadad sent another message to Ahab: “May the gods deal with me, and ever so severely, if enough dust remains of Samaria for each of my men to have a handful.”
καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐξ ἐναντίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατεμαρτύρησαν αὐτοῦ λέγοντες Ηὐλόγηκας θεὸν καὶ βασιλέα· καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἐλιθοβόλησαν αὐτὸν λίθοις, καὶ ἀπέθανεν.
Meanwhile a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Do you see this entire great army? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand this very day, and you will know that I am the LORD.’”
καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς Ἰεζάβελ λέγοντες Λελιθοβόληται Ναβουθαὶ καὶ τέθνηκεν.
“By whom?” Ahab asked. And the prophet replied, “This is what the LORD says: ‘By the young officers of the district governors.’” “Who will start the battle?” asked Ahab. “You will,” answered the prophet.
καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἰεζάβελ, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Ἀχαάβ Ἀνάστα, κληρονομει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰσραηλείτου ὃς οὐκ ἔδωκέν σοι αργυρίου, ὅτι οὐκ εστιν Ναβουθαὶ ζῶν, ὅτι τέθνηκεν.
So Ahab assembled the young officers of the district governors, and there were 232 men. And after them, he assembled the rest of the Israelite troops, 7,000 in all.
καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἀχαὰβ ὅτι τέθνηκεν Ναβουθὰι ὁ Ἰσραηλείτης, καὶ διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια ἑαυτοῦ καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον· καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ κατέβη Ἀχαὰβ εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰσραηλείτου κληρονομῆσαι αὐτόν.
They marched out at noon while Ben-hadad and the 32 kings allied with him were in their tents getting drunk.
Καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος π ρὸς Ἠλειοὺ τὸν Θεσβείτην λέγων
And the young officers of the district governors marched out first. Now Ben-hadad had sent out scouts, who reported to him, “Men are marching out of Samaria.”
Ἀνάστηθι καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς ἀπαντὴν Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, ὅτι οὗτος ἐν ἀμπελῶνι Ναβουθαί, ὅτι καταβέβηκεν ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτόν.
“If they have marched out in peace,” he said, “take them alive. Even if they have marched out for war, take them alive.”
καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ὡς σὺ ἐφόνευσας καὶ ἐκληρονόμησας, διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ᾧ ἔλιξαν αἱ ὕες καὶ οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμα Ναβουθαί, ἐκεῖ λίξουσιν οἱ κύωες τὸ αἷμά σου, καὶ αἱ πόρωαι λούσονται ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου.
Meanwhile, these young officers of the district governors marched out of the city, with the army behind them,
καὶ εἶπεν Ἀχαἀβ πρὸς Ἀλειού Εἰ εὕρηκάς με, ὁ ἐχθρός μου; καὶ εἶπεν Εὕρηκα, διότι μάτην πέπρασαι ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, παρορηίσαι αὐτον.
and each one struck down his opponent. So the Arameans fled, with the Israelites in pursuit. But Ben-hadad king of Aram escaped on horseback with the cavalry.
ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ κακά, καὶ ἐκκαύσω ἀπίσω σου καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω τοῦ Ἀχαὰβ οὐροῦντα πρὸς τοῖχον καὶ συνεχόμενον καὶ ἐνκαταλελειμμένον ἐν Ἰσραήλ·
Then the king of Israel marched out and attacked the horses and chariots, inflicting a great slaughter on the Arameans.
καὶ δώσω τὸν υἶκόν σου ὡς τὸν οὖκον Ἰερβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰθ καὶ ὡς τὸν οἶκον Βααςὰ υἱοῦ Ἀχειά, περὶ τῶν παροργισμάτων ὧν παρώρηισας καὶ ἐξήματρες τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
Afterward, the prophet approached the king of Israel and said, “Go and strengthen your position, and take note what you must do, for in the spring the king of Aram will come up against you.”
καὶ τῇ Ἰεζάβελ ἐλάλησεν Κύριος λέγων Οἱ κύνες καταφάγουται αὐτὴν ἐν τῷ προτειχίσματι τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
Meanwhile, the servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hills. That is why they prevailed over us. Instead, we should fight them on the plains; surely then we will prevail.
τὸν τεθνηκότα τοῦ Ἀχαὰβ ἐν τῇ πόλει φάγονται οἱ κύνες, καὶ τὸν τεθνηκότα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ φάγονται τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
So do this: Dismiss all the kings from their positions and replace them with other officers.
πλὴν ματαίως Ἀχαάβ, ὡς ἐπράθη ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ὡς μετέθηκεν αὐτὸν Ἰεζάβελ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ·
And you must raise an army like the one you have lost—horse for horse and chariot for chariot—so we can fight the Israelites on the plain, where we will surely prevail.” And the king approved their plan and acted accordingly.
καὶ ἐβδελύχθη σφόδρα πορεύεσθαι ὀπίσω τῶν βδελυγμάτων κατὰ πάντα ἅ ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἀμορραῖος, ὅν ἐξωλεθρευσεν Κύριος ἀπὰ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραληλ.
In the spring, Ben-hadad mobilized the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λόγου ὡς κατενύγη Ἀχαὰβ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ κυρίου, καὶ ἐρορεύετο κλαίων καὶ διέρρηξεν τὸν χιτῶνα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐζώσατο σάκκον ἐπὶ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνήστευσεν· καὶ περιεβάετο σάκκον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ᾖ ἐπάταξεν ναβουθαὶ τὸν Ἰσραηλείτην, καὶ ἐπρεύθη.
The Israelites also mobilized, gathered supplies, and marched out to meet them. The Israelites camped before them like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the countryside.
καὶ ἐγένετο ῥῆμα Κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ Ἠλιοὺ περὶ Ἀχαάβ, καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος
Then the man of God approached the king of Israel and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because the Arameans have said that the LORD is a god of the hills and not of the valleys, I will deliver all this great army into your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
Ἑώρακας ὡς κατενύγν Ἀχαὰβ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου; οὐκ ἐπάξω τὴν κακίαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπάξω τὴν κακίαν.
For seven days the armies camped opposite each other, and on the seventh day the battle ensued, and the Israelites struck down the Arameans—a hundred thousand foot soldiers in one day.
