| 20:1 | XXυἱὸς Βοχορεί, ἀνὴρ ὁ Ἰεμενεί. καὶ ἐσάλπισεν τῇ κερατίνῃ καὶ εἶπεν Οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμὶς ἐν Δαυεὶδ οὐδὲ κληρονομία ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ υἱῷ Ἰεσσαί.ἀνὴρ εἰς τὰ σκνώματά σου, Ἰσραήλ. |
| 20:2 | καὶ ἀνέβη πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν Δαυεὶδ ὀπίσω Σάβεε υἱοῦ Βοχορεί. καὶ ἀνὴρ Ἰούδα ἐκολλήθη τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου καὶ ἕως Ἰερουσαλήμ. |
| 20:3 | Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Δαυεὶδ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ. καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰς δέκα γυναῖκας τὰς παλλακὰς αὐτοπῦ, ἃς ἀφῆκεν Φυλάσσειν τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰς ἐν οἴκῳ Φυλακῆς, καὶ διέθρεψεν αὐτὰς καξὶ πρὸς αὐτὰας οὐκ εἰσῆλθεν, καὶ ἦσαν συνεχόμεναι ἕως ἡμέρας θανάτου αὐτῶν, χῆραι ζῶσαι. |
| 20:4 | Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ἀμεσσαςί Βόησόν μοι τὸν ἄνδρα Ἰούδα τρεῖς ἡμέρας, σὺ δὲ αὐτοῦ πρὸς Ἀμεσσαεί Βόησόν μοι τὸν ἄνδρα Ἰούδα τρεῖς ἡμέρας, σὺ δὲ αὐτοῦ στῆθι. |
| 20:5 | καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἀμεσσαεὶ τοῦ βοῆσαι τὸν Ἰούδαν, καὶ ἐχρόνισεν ἀπὸ τοῦ καιροῦ οὗ ἐτάξατο αὐτῷ. |
| 20:6 | καὶ εἶπεν ; Δαυεὶδ πρὸς Ἀβεισά Νῦν κακοποιήσει ἡμᾶς Σάβεε υἱὸς Βοχορεὶ ὑπὲρ Ἀβεσσαλώμ· καὶ νῦν σὺ λάβε μετὰ σεαυτοῦ τοὺς παῖδας τοῦ κυρίου σου καὶ καταδίωξον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, μή ποτε ἑαυτῷ εὕρῃ πόλεις ὀχυρὰς καὶ σκιάσει τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἡμῶν. |
| 20:7 | καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ Ἀβεσςὰ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες ἰωὰβ καὶ ὁ Χελεθθεὶ καὶ ὁ Φελεθθεὶ καὶ πάντες οἱ δυνατοί, καὶ ἐξῆλθαν ἐξ Ἰερουσαλὴμ διῶξαι ὀπίσω Σάβεε υἱοῦ Βοχορεί. |
| 20:8 | καὶ αὐτοὶ παρὰ τῷ λίθῳ τῷ μεγάλῳ ἐν Γαβαών, καὶ Ἀμεσσαεὶ ἦλθεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν· καὶ Ἰωὰβ περιεζωσμένος μανδύαν τὸ ἔνδυμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπ’ αὐτῷ περιεζωσμένος μάχαιραν ἐζῆλθεν, καὶ αὐτὴ ἐξῆλθεν καὶ ἔπεσεν. |
| 20:9 | καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωὰβ τῷ Ἀμεσσαεί Εἰ ὑγιαίνεις, ἀδελθέ ; καὶ ἐκράτησεν ἡ χεὶρ ἡ δεξιὰ Ἰωὰβ τοῦ πώγωνος Ἀμεσσαεὶ τοῦ καταφιλῆσαι αὐτόν. |
| 20:10 | καὶ Ἀμεσσαεὶ οὐκ ἐφυλάξατο τὴν μάχαιραν τὴν ἐν τῇ χριρὶ Ἰωάβ· καὶ ἔπαισεν αὐτὸν ἐν αὐτῇ Ἰωὰβ εἰς τὴν ψόαν, καὶ ἐξεχύθη ἡ κοιλία αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐκ ἐδευτέρωσεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀπέθανεν. καὶ Ἰωὰβ καὶ Ἀβειςὰ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἐδίωζεν ὀπίσω Σάβεε υἱοῦ Βοχορεί. |
| 20:11 | καὶ ἀνὴρ ἔστη ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τῶν παιδαρίων Ἰωὰβ καὶ εἶπεν Τίς ὁ βουλόμενος Ἰωἀβ, καὶ τίς τοῦ Δαυεὶδ ὀπίσω Ἰωάβ; |
| 20:12 | καὶ Ἀμεσσαεὶ πεφυρμένος ἐν τῷ αἵματι ἐν μέςῳ τῆς τρίβου, καὶ εἶδεν ἀνὴρ ὅτι εἱστήκει πᾶς ὁ λαός · καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν τὸν Ἀμεσσαεὶ ἐκ τῆς τρίβου εἰς ἀγρὸν καὶ ἐπέρριψεν ἐπֹ’ αὐτὸν ἱμάτιον, καθότι εἶδεν πάντα τὸν ἐρχόμενον ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἑστηκότα. |
| 20:13 | ἡνίκα δὲ ἔφθασεν ἐκ τῆς τρίβου, παρῆλθεν πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ὀπίσω Ἰωὰβ τοξῦ διῶξαι ὀπίσω Σάβεε υἱοῦ Βοχορεί. |
| 20:14 | καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν πάσαις φυλαῖς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Ἀβὲλ καὶ εἰς Βαιθμαχά, καὶ πάντες ἐν Χαρρεὶ καὶ ἐφεκκλησιάσθησαν · καὶ ἦλθεν κατόπισθεν αὐτοῦ. |
| 20:15 | καὶ παρεγενήθηαν καὶ ἐπολιόρκουν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἐν Ἀβὲλ τὴν Βαιθμαχά, καὶ ἐξέχεαν πρόσχωμα πρὸς τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἔστη ἐν τῷ προτειχίσματι· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετὰ Ἰωὰβ ἐνοοῦσαν καταβαλεῖν τὸ τεῖκος· |
| 20:16 | καὶ ἐβόησεν γυνὴ σοξὴ ἐκ τοῦ τειχους καὶ κἶπεν Ἀκούσατε ἀκούσατε, |
| 20:17 | καὶ προσήγγισεν πρὸς αὐτήν, καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνή Εἰ σὺ εἶ Ἰωάβ; ὁ δὲ\ εἶπεν Ἐγώ. εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Ἄκουσον τοὺς λόγους τῆς δούλης σου· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωάβ’ Ἀκούω ἐγώ εἰμι. |
| 20:18 | καὶ εἶπεν λέγουσα Λόγον ἐλάλησαν ἐν πρώτοις λέγοντες Ἠρωτημένος ἠρωτήθη ἐν τῇ Ἀβὲλ καὶ ἐν Λὰν εἰ ἐξέλιπον ἅ ἔθεντο οἱ πιστοὶ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· ἐρῶντες ἐπερωτήσουσιν ἔνα ἐν Ἀβὲλ καὶ οὕτως, εἰ ἐξέλιπον. |
| 20:19 | ἐγώ εἰμι εἰρηνικὰ τῶν στηριγμάτων Ἰσραήλ, σὺ δὲ ζητεῖς θανατῶσαι πόλιν καὶ μητρόπολιν ἐν Ἰσραήλ· ἵνα τί καταποντίζεις κληρονομέαν Κυρίου ; |
| 20:20 | καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἰωὰβ καὶ εἶπεν Ἵλεώς μοι ἵλεώς μοι, εἰ καταποντιῶ καὶ εἰ φθερῶ· |
| 20:21 | αὐχ οὑτος ὁ λόγος· ὅτι ἀνὴρ ἐξ ὄρους Ἐφράιμ, Σάβεε υἱὸς Βοχορεὶ ἄνομα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπῆρεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Δαυείδ. δότε αὐτόν μοι μόνον, καὶ ἀπελεύσομαι ἀπάωνθεν τῆς πόλεως. καὶ εἶπεν η γυνὴ πρὸς Ἰωάβ Ἰδοὺ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἱρφήσεται πρὸς σὲ δεὰ τοῦ τείχους. |
| 20:22 | καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαόν, καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς πᾶσαν τὴν πόλιν ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἀφεῖλεν τὴν κεφαλὴν Σάβεε υἱοῦ Βοχορεί, καὶ ἀφεῖλεν καὶ ἔβαλεν πρὸς Ἰωάβ. καὶ ἐσάλπισεν ἐν κερατίνῃ, καὶ διεσπάρησαν ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ εἰς τὰ σκηώματα αὐτοῦ· καὶ Ἰωὰβ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ πρὸς τὸν βασλέα. |
| 20:23 | Καὶ Ἰωὰβ πρὸς πάςῃ τῇ δυνάμει Ἰσραήλ, καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἀχειλοὺθ ἐπὶ τοῦ Χελεθθεὶ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ φελεθθεί, |
| 20:24 | καὶ Ἀδωνειρὰμ ἐπὶ τοῦ φόπρου, καὶ Ἰωσαφὰθ υἱὸς Ἀχειλοὺθ ἀναμιμνήσκων, |
| 20:25 | καὶ Ἰησοῦς ὁ γραμματεύς, καὶ Σαδὼκ καὶ Ἀβιαθὰρ ἱερεῖς, |
| 20:26 | καί γε εἴρας ὁ Ἰαρεὶν ἦν ἑρεὺς τοῦ Δαυείδ. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
