Kapitel 20
1
Ben-Hadad, kralj Arama, skupi svu vojsku svoju - s njim bijahu trideset i dva kralja, s konjima i bojnim kolima - i ode opsjedati Samariju i udari na nju.
2
Posla u grad glasnike izraelskom kralju Ahabu
3
i reče mu: “Ovako veli Ben-Hadad: 'Tvoje srebro i tvoje zlato moje je, a žene tvoje i djeca ostaju tebi.'”
4
Izraelski kralj ovako mu odgovori: “Na tvoju zapovijed, gospodaru kralju! Tvoj sam ja sa svime što mi pripada.”
5
Ali se glasnici vratiše i rekoše: “Ovako kaže Ben-Hadad i poručuje ti: 'Daj mi svoje srebro i zlato, svoje žene i djecu.
6
Budi siguran da ću sutra u ovo doba poslati svoje sluge i oni će pretražiti tvoju kuću i kuće tvojih sluga i stavit će svoju ruku na sve što im se svidi i to će odnijeti.'”
7
Izraelski kralj sazva sve starješine zemaljske i reče: “Promislite i pogledajte! Ovaj nam sprema zlo! Traži od mene moje žene i djecu, premda mu nisam odbio svoje srebro i zlato.”
8
Starješine mu i sav narod odgovoriše: “Nemoj poslušati! Nemoj pristati!”
9
Tada on ovako odgovori Ben-Hadadovim poslanicima: “Recite gospodaru kralju: 'Sve što si prvi put tražio od svoga sluge, ja ću učiniti, ali ovo drugo ne mogu.'” I poslanici odoše i odnesoše odgovor.
10
Tada mu Ben-Hadad poruči: “Neka mi bogovi učine zlo i neka pridaju još toliko, ako bude dosta praha Samarije da svi oni koji me slijede dobiju po pregršt!”
11
Ali mu kralj izraelski odgovori: “Kaže se: 'Neka se ne hvali koji se opasuje kao onaj koji se raspasuje!'”
12
A kad je Ben-Hadad to čuo - upravo je pio s kraljevima pod šatorima - zapovjedi svojim slugama: “Na svoja mjesta!” I oni zauzeše svoje položaje protiv grada.
13
Tada potraži jedan prorok Ahaba, kralja Izraela, i reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Jesi li vidio ono silno mnoštvo? Ja ću ti ga danas evo predati u ruke i ti ćeš spoznati da sam ja Jahve.'”
14
Ahab reče: “Po kome?” On odgovori: “Ovako veli Jahve: po momcima pokrajinskih namjesnika.” Ahab upita: “Tko će početi boj?” On odgovori: “Ti!”
15
Ahab izvrši smotru momaka pokrajinskih upravitelja. Bijaše ih dvije stotine trideset i dva. Poslije njih izvršio je smotru sve vojske svih Izraelaca. Bijaše ih sedam tisuća.
16
Oni iziđoše u podne, dok je Ben-Hadad pio u šatorima sa trideset i dva kralja koji mu bijahu saveznici.
17
Momci pokrajinskih upravitelja iziđoše prvi. Obavijestiše Ben-Hadada: “Izišli su ljudi iz Samarije.”
18
On reče: “Ako su izišli radi mira, pohvatajte ih žive; ako su izišli u boj, opet ih uhvatite žive!”
19
Ali kad su oni - momci pokrajinskih upravitelja - izišli iz grada, za njima je slijedila ostala vojska
20
i svaki je udario na svog protivnika. Aramejci su bježali, a Izraelci ih progonili. Ben-Hadad, aramejski kralj, spasio se na konju zajedno s nekim konjanicima.
21
Tada je izišao izraelski kralj; zarobio je konje i kola i nanio Aramejcima težak poraz.
22
Tada pristupi prorok izraelskom kralju i reče mu: “Hajdemo! Ohrabri se i razmisli dobro što ti je činiti, jer će dogodine aramejski kralj napasti na te.”
23
Sluge su savjetovale aramejskog kralja: Njihov bog je bog gora, i zato su bili jači od nas. Ali ako se pobijemo s njima u ravnici, sigurno ćemo mi biti jači od njih.
24
Učinimo dakle ovako: makni ove kraljeve i postavi na njihovo mjesto upravitelje.
25
Zatim skupi sebi veliku vojsku kolika je bila ona koju si izgubio, toliko konja i toliko kola. Tada ćemo se pobiti s njima u ravnici, i sigurno ćemo ih nadvladati.” On ih posluša i učini tako.
26
Na početku godine Ben-Hadad podiže Aramejce i pođe na Afek da vojuje s Izraelom.
27
Izraelci se podigoše i krenuše protiv njih. I utaboriše se Izraelci pred njima kao dva mala stada koza, dok su Aramejci prekrili zemlju.
28
Tada pristupi Božji čovjek izraelskom kralju i reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Zato što Aramejci kažu za Jahvu da je Bog bregova i da nije Bog ravnica, ja ću predati u tvoje ruke ovo silno mnoštvo da spoznate da sam ja Jahve'.”
29
Sedam dana bijahu utaboreni jedni sučelice drugima. Sedmoga dana zametnu se boj i Izraelci poubijaše Aramejce, stotinu tisuća pješaka u jedan jedini dan.
30
Ostatak pobježe u Afek, u grad, ali se sruši zidina na dvadeset i sedam tisuća ljudi koji su ostali. Pobjegao je i Ben-Hadad. U gradu je prelazio iz jednog skrovišta u drugo.
31
Njegove su mu sluge rekle: “Gle! Mi smo čuli da su izraelski kraljevi milosrdni. Stavimo kostrijet oko bokova svojih i konope oko svojih glava, pa izađimo pred kralja izraelskog: možda će ti poštedjeti život.”
32
I svezaše kostrijeti oko bokova svojih i konopce oko svojih glava. Otišli su pred izraelskog kralja i rekli: “Tvoj sluga Ben-Hadad kaže: 'Ostavi me na životu!'” On odgovori: “Je li još živ? On je moj brat.”
33
Ljudi su to uzeli kao dobar znak i požurili se da ga uhvate za riječ govoreći: “Ben-Hadad tvoj je brat.” Ahab odgovori: “Idite! Dovedite ga!” Ben-Hadad dođe i on ga uze na kola.
34
Ben-Hadad reče mu tada: “Vratit ću ti gradove koje je moj otac uzeo tvome ocu; stajat će ti na raspolaganju četvrti u Damasku, kao što ih je postavio moj otac u Samariji. Pod ovim me uvjetom otpusti.” Ahab sklopi s njime savez i otpusti ga.
35
Neki od proročkih sinova reče po Jahvinoj zapovijedi svome drugu: “Udari me!” Ali čovjek ne htjede da ga tuče.
36
Tada mu onaj reče: “Budući da nisi slušao glasa Jahvina, evo, kad odeš od mene, lav će te razderati.” Tek što se udaljio od njega, naiđe na lava koji ga razdera.
37
Prorok nađe drugoga čovjeka i reče: “Udari me!” Čovjek ga izudara i izrani.
38
Prorok ode, postavi se kralju na put, a preko očiju navuče povez da ga ne prepoznaju.
39
Kad je kralj prolazio, on povika: “Tvoj je sluga bio izišao u boj, kadli iz bojnih redova jedan istupi i dovede mi nekog čovjeka govoreći: 'Čuvaj ovoga čovjeka! Ako nestane, tvoj će život biti za njegov život, ili ćeš platiti srebrni talenat.'
40
I dok je tvoj sluga radio ovdje-ondje, njega je nestalo.” Tada mu reče kralj Izraela: “Eto ti presude! Sam si je izrekao!”
41
Nato onaj odmah ukloni povez s očiju i kralj izraelski vidje da je to jedan od proroka.
42
A on reče kralju: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Budući da si pustio da ti iz ruke utekne čovjek koga sam udario prokletstvom, tvoj će život biti za njegov život, tvoj narod za njegov narod.'”
43
I kralj izraelski ode svojoj kući, mrk i srdit, i uđe u Samariju.
1 Kings
Kapitel 20
1
And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
2
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-hadad,
3
Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
4
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
5
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
6
Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
7
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
8
And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
9
Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
10
And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
11
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.
12
And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
13
¶ And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
14
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
15
Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16
And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
17
And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
18
And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
19
So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
20
And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
21
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22
¶ And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
23
And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
24
And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
25
And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
26
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
27
And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
28
¶ And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
29
And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
30
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
31
¶ And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
32
So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
33
Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34
And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
35
¶ And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
36
Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
37
Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
38
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
39
And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
40
And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.
41
And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
42
And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
43
And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
