2 Samuel 16

  1 G2532 And G* David G1330 went through G3397 a little way G575 from G3588   G* Ros. G2532 And G2400 behold, G* Ziba G3588 the G3808 servant G* of Mephibosheth G2064 arrived G1519 for G529 meeting G1473 him, G2532 and G2201 a pair G3688 of donkeys G1977.2 being saddled, G2532 and G1909 upon G1473 them G1250 two hundred G740 bread loaves, G2532 and G3634.1 an ephah G4717.1 of dried grape clusters, G2532 and G1540 a hundred G3818.1 dried fruit clusters, G2532 and G3496.1 a skin flask G3631 of wine.

  2 G2532 And G2036 [³said G3588 ¹the G935 ²king] G4314 to G* Ziba, G5100 What G3778 are these G1473 to you? G2532 And G2036 Ziba said, G*   G3588 The G3688 donkeys G3588 for the G3624 household G3588 of the G935 king G3588   G1910 to mount, G2532 and G3588 the G740 bread loaves, G2532 and G3588 the G3818.1 dried fruit clusters, G2532 and G4717.1 dried grapes G1519 for G1035 food G3588 to the G3808 servants, G2532 and G3588 the G3631 wine G4095 to drink G3588 to the G1590 one faint G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness.

  3 G2532 And G2036 [³said G3588 ¹the G935 ²king], G4226 Where G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G5207 son G3588   G2962 of your master? G1473   G2532 And G2036 Ziba said G*   G4314 to G3588 the G935 king, G2400 Behold, G2521 he sits G1722 in G* Jerusalem, G3754 for G2036 he said, G4594 Today G1994 [⁴shall return G1473 ⁵to me G3588 ¹the G3624 ²house G* ³of Israel] G3588 the G932 kingdom G3588   G3962 of my father. G1473  

  4 G2532 And G2036 [³said G3588 ¹the G935 ²king] G3588   G* to Ziba, G2400 Behold, G1473 I give to you G3956 all G3745 as much as G1510.2.3 is G* Mephibosheth's. G2532 And G2036 Ziba said, G*   G4352 I do obeisance, G2147 may I find G5484 favor G1722 in G3788 your eyes, G1473   G2962 O my master, G1473   G935 O king.

  5 G2532 And G2064 [³came G3588   G935 ¹king G* ²David] G2193 until G* Bahurim. G2532 And G2400 behold, G1564 from there G435 a man G1607 came forth G1537 from G3965 the family G3624 of the house G* of Saul, G2532 and G3686 the name G1473 to him G* was Shimei, G5207 son G* of Gera. G1831 He came forth G1607 coming G2532 and G2672 cursing,

  6 G2532 and G906 throwing G3037 stones G1909 at G3588   G* David, G2532 and G1909 at G3956 all G3588 the G3816 servants G3588   G935 of king G* David. G2532 And G3956 all G3588 the G2992 people, G2532 and G3956 all G3588 the G1415 mighty ones G1537 of G1188 the right G2532 and G1537 of G710 the left G3588 of the G935 king.

  7 G2532 And G3779 thus G2036 Shimei said G*   G1722 in G3588   G2672 his cursing, G1473   G1831 Go forth! G1831 go forth! G435 O man G3588 of the G129 blood sheddings, G2532 and G435 O man G3588 the G3892.1 lawbreaker.

  8 G1994 [²returned G1909 ³upon G1473 ⁴you G2962 ¹ The lord] G3956 all G3588 the G129 blood G3588 of the G3624 house G* of Saul, G446.2 because G3754   G936 you reigned G473 instead G1473 of him. G2532 And G1325 the lord gave G2962   G3588 the G932 kingdom G1519 into G5495 the hand G* of Absalom G3588   G5207 your son. G1473   G2532 And G2400 behold, G1473 you are taken G1722 in G3588   G2549 your own evil, G1473   G3754 for G435 [² are a man G129 ³of blood G1473 ¹you].

  9 G2532 And G2036 [⁴said G* ¹Abishai G5207 ²son G* ³of Zeruiah] G4314 to G3588 the G935 king, G2444 Why G2672 [⁴curse G3588   G2965 ³dog G3588   G2348 ²dying G3778 ¹ does this] G3588   G2962 my master G1473   G3588 the G935 king? G1224 Let me pass G1211 indeed! G2532 and G851 I shall remove G3588   G2776 his head. G1473  

  10 G2532 And G2036 [³said G3588 ¹the G935 ²king] G4314 to G* Abishai, G5100 What G1473 is it to me G2532 and G1473 to you, G5207 sons G* of Zeruiah? G2532 Even G863 leave G1473 him, G2532 and G3779 thus G2672 let him curse! G3754 For G2962 the lord G2036 said G1473 to him G2672 to curse G3588   G* David. G2532 And G5100 who G2046 shall say G1473 to him, G5100 Why did G4160 you do G3779 thus?

  11 G2532 And G2036 David said G*   G4314 to G* Abishai, G2532 and G4314 to G3956 all G3588   G3816 his servants, G1473   G2400 Behold, G3588   G5207 my son, G1473   G3588 the one G1831 coming forth G1537 from out of G3588   G2836 my belly, G1473   G2212 seeks G3588   G5590 my life. G1473   G2532 And G4334.1 moreover, G3568 now G3588 the G5207 son G3588 of the G* Benjamite. G863 Leave G1473 him G2672 to curse! G3754 for G2036 [²told G1473 ³him G2962 ¹ the lord].

  12 G1513 If by any means G1492 the lord may behold G2962   G1722 in G3588   G5014 my humiliation, G1473   G2532 and G1994 shall return G1473 good to me G18   G473 for G3588   G2671 his curse G1473   G3588   G2250 this day -- so be it! G3778  

  13 G2532 And G4198 David went, G*   G2532 and G3956 all G3588   G435 his men G1473   G1722 in G3588 the G3598 way; G2532 and G* Shimei G4198 went G2596 according to G3588 the G2827.1 side G3588 of the G3735 mountain, G2192 being next to G1473 him -- G4198 he went, G2532 and G2672 cursed, G2532 and G906 cast G3037 stones G1909 on G1473 him, G2532 and G3588   G5522 [²dust G3956.2 ¹strewing].

  14 G2532 And G2064 [³went G3588 ¹the G935 ²king], G2532 and G3956 all G3588 the G2992 people G3326 with G1473 him G1590 being faint; G2532 and G404 they refreshed G1563 there.

  15 G2532 And G* Absalom, G2532 and G3956 every G435 man G* of Israel G1525 entered G1519 into G* Jerusalem, G2532 and G* Ahithophel G3326 was with G1473 him.

  16 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G3753 when G2064 [⁵came G* ¹Hushai G3588 ²the G749.1 ³chief friend G* ⁴of David] G4314 to G* Absalom, G2532 that G2036 Hushai said G*   G3588 to G* Absalom, G2198 As lives G3588 the G935 king! G2198 As lives G3588 the G935 king!

  17 G2532 And G2036 Absalom said G*   G3588 to G* Hushai, G3778 Is this G3588   G1656 your act of kindness G1473   G3326 with G3588   G2083 your companion? G1473   G2444 Why did G3756 you not G4198 go G3326 with G3588   G2083 your companion? G1473  

  18 G2532 And G2036 Hushai said G*   G4314 to G3588   G* Absalom, G3780 No, G235 but G2733.5 following after G3739 whoever G1586 the lord chooses, G2962   G2532 and G3588   G2992 this people, G3778   G2532 and G3956 every G435 man G* of Israel. G1473 [² serving to him G1510.8.1 I will be] G2532 and G3326 [²with G1473 ³him G2521 ¹I shall sit down].

  19 G2532 And G3588   G1208 secondly, G5100 to whom G1473 shall I G1398 serve? G3780 Should I not G1799 serve before G3588   G5207 his son? G1473   G2509 Just as G1398 I served G1799 before G3588   G3962 your father, G1473   G3779 so G1510.8.1 I will be G1799 before G1473 you.

  20 G2532 And G2036 Absalom said G*   G4314 to G* Ahithophel, G1325 Give G1438 [²for yourselves G1012 ¹counsel] G5100 what G4160 we should do.

  21 G2532 And G2036 Ahithophel said G*   G4314 to G* Absalom, G1525 Enter G4314 to G3588 the G3825.1 concubines G3588   G3962 of your father! G1473   G3739 which G2641 he left behind G5442 to guard G3588   G3624 his house. G1473   G2532 And G191 [³shall hear G3956 ¹all G* ²Israel] G3754 that G2617 you disgraced G3588   G3962 your father, G1473   G2532 and G1765 [⁷shall grow in strength G3588 ¹the G5495 ²hands G3956 ³of all G3588 ⁴the ones G3326 ⁵with G1473 ⁶you].

  22 G2532 And G4078 they pitched G3588 the G4633 tent G3588   G* of Absalom G1909 upon G3588 the G1430 roof, G2532 and G1525 Absalom entered G*   G4314 to G3588 the G3825.1 concubines G3588   G3962 of his father, G1473   G1722 in G3788 the eyes G3956 of all G3588   G* Israel.

  23 G2532 And G3588 the G1012 counsel G* of Ahithophel, G3739 which G1011 he consulted G1722 in G3588 the G2250 [²days G3588   G4413 ¹first], G3739 was in which G5158 manner G1905 as if he should ask G5100 anything G1722 by G3056 the word G3588   G2316 of God; G3779 thus was G3956 all G3588 the G1012 counsel G3588   G* of Ahithophel, G2532 both G3588 to G* David G2532 and G3588 to G* Absalom.
