H5046
And it was told
[H8714]
H3097
Joab
H4428
, Behold, the king
H1058
weepeth
[H8802]
H56
and mourneth
[H8691]
H53
for Absalom.
2
H8668
And the victory
H3117
that day
H60
was turned into mourning
H5971
unto all the people
H5971
: for the people
H8085
heard
[H8804]
H559
say
[H8800]
H3117
that day
H4428
how the king
H6087
was grieved
[H8738]
H1121
for his son.
3
H5971
And the people
H935
gat
[H8800]
H1589
them by stealth
[H8691]
H3117
that day
H5892
into the city
H5971
, as people
H3637
being ashamed
[H8737]
H1589
steal away
[H8691]
H5127
when they flee
[H8800]
H4421
in battle.
4
H4428
But the king
H3813
covered
[H8804]
H6440
his face
H4428
, and the king
H2199
cried
[H8799]
H1419
with a loud
H6963
voice
H1121
, O my son
H53
Absalom
H53
, O Absalom
H1121
, my son
H1121
, my son!
5
H3097
And Joab
H935
came
[H8799]
H1004
into the house
H4428
to the king
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H3001
, Thou hast shamed
[H8689]
H3117
this day
H6440
the faces
H5650
of all thy servants
H3117
, which this day
H4422
have saved
[H8764]
H5315
thy life
H5315
, and the lives
H1121
of thy sons
H1323
and of thy daughters
H5315
, and the lives
H802
of thy wives
H5315
, and the lives
H6370
of thy concubines;
6
H157
In that thou lovest
[H8800]
H8130
thine enemies
[H8802]
H8130
, and hatest
[H8800]
H157
thy friends
[H8802]
H5046
. For thou hast declared
[H8689]
H3117
this day
H8269
, that thou regardest neither princes
H5650
nor servants
H3117
: for this day
H3045
I perceive
[H8804]
H3863
, that if
H53
Absalom
H2416
had lived
H4191
, and all we had died
[H8801]
H3117
this day
H3477
, then it had pleased thee well
H5869
.
7
H6965
Now therefore arise
[H8798]
H3318
, go forth
[H8798]
H1696
, and speak
[H8761]
H3820
comfortably
H5650
unto thy servants
H7650
: for I swear
[H8738]
H3068
by the LORD
H3318
, if thou go not forth
[H8802]
H3885
, there will not tarry
[H8799]
H376
one
H3915
with thee this night
H7489
: and that will be worse
[H8804]
H7451
unto thee than all the evil
H935
that befell
[H8804]
H5271
thee from thy youth until now.
8
H4428
Then the king
H6965
arose
[H8799]
H3427
, and sat
[H8799]
H8179
in the gate
H5046
. And they told
[H8689]
H5971
unto all the people
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H4428
, Behold, the king
H3427
doth sit
[H8802]
H8179
in the gate
H5971
. And all the people
H935
came
[H8799]
H6440
before
H4428
the king
H3478
: for Israel
H5127
had fled
[H8804]
H376
every man
H168
to his tent.
9
H5971
And all the people
H1777
were at strife
[H8737]
H7626
throughout all the tribes
H3478
of Israel
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H4428
, The king
H5337
saved
[H8689]
H3709
us out of the hand
H341
of our enemies
[H8802]
H4422
, and he delivered
[H8765]
H3709
us out of the hand
H6430
of the Philistines
H1272
; and now he is fled
[H8804]
H776
out of the land
H53
for Absalom.
10
H53
And Absalom
H4886
, whom we anointed
[H8804]
H4191
over us, is dead
[H8804]
H4421
in battle
H2790
. Now therefore why speak
[H8688]
H7725
ye not a word of bringing
H4428
the king
H7725
back
[H8687]
?
11
H4428
And king
H1732
David
H7971
sent
[H8804]
H6659
to Zadok
H54
and to Abiathar
H3548
the priests
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H1696
, Speak
[H8761]
H2205
unto the elders
H3063
of Judah
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H314
, Why are ye the last
H7725
to bring
H4428
the king
H7725
back
[H8687]
H1004
to his house
H1697
? seeing the speech
H3478
of all Israel
H935
is come
[H8804]
H4428
to the king
H1004
, even to his house.
12
H251
Ye are my brethren
H6106
, ye are my bones
H1320
and my flesh
H314
: wherefore then are ye the last
H7725
to bring back
[H8687]
H4428
the king?
13
H559
And say
[H8799]
H6021
ye to Amasa
H6106
, Art thou not of my bone
H1320
, and of my flesh
H430
? God
H6213
do
[H8799]
H3254
so to me, and more
[H8686]
H8269
also, if thou be not captain
H6635
of the host
H6440
before
H3117
me continually
H8478
in the room
H3097
of Joab.
14
H5186
And he bowed
[H8686]
H3824
the heart
H376
of all the men
H3063
of Judah
H259
, even as the heart of one
H376
man
H7971
; so that they sent
[H8799]
H4428
this word unto the king
H7725
, Return
[H8798]
H5650
thou, and all thy servants.
15
H4428
So the king
H7725
returned
[H8799]
H935
, and came
[H8799]
H3383
to Jordan
H3063
. And Judah
H935
came
[H8804]
H1537
to Gilgal
H3212
, to go
[H8800]
H7125
to meet
[H8800]
H4428
the king
H5674
, to conduct
H4428
the king
H5674
over
[H8687]
H3383
Jordan.
16
H8096
And Shimei
H1121
the son
H1617
of Gera
H1145
, a Benjamite
H980
, which was of Bahurim
H4116
, hasted
[H8762]
H3381
and came down
[H8799]
H376
with the men
H3063
of Judah
H7125
to meet
[H8800]
H4428
king
H1732
David.
17
H505
And there were a thousand
H376
men
H1145
of Benjamin
H6717
with him, and Ziba
H5288
the servant
H1004
of the house
H7586
of Saul
H2568
, and his fifteen
H6240
H1121
sons
H6242
and his twenty
H5650
servants
H6743
with him; and they went over
[H8804]
H3383
Jordan
H6440
before
H4428
the king.
18
H5674
And there went over
[H8804]
H5679
a ferry boat
H5674
to carry over
[H8687]
H4428
the king's
H1004
household
H6213
, and to do
[H8800]
H5869
what he thought
H2896
good
H8096
. And Shimei
H1121
the son
H1617
of Gera
H5307
fell down
[H8804]
H6440
before
H4428
the king
H5674
, as he was come over
[H8800]
H3383
Jordan;
19
H559
And said
[H8799]
H4428
unto the king
H113
, Let not my lord
H2803
impute
[H8799]
H5771
iniquity
H2142
unto me, neither do thou remember
[H8799]
H5650
that which thy servant
H5753
did perversely
[H8689]
H3117
the day
H113
that my lord
H4428
the king
H3318
went out
[H8804]
H3389
of Jerusalem
H4428
, that the king
H7760
should take
[H8800]
H3820
it to his heart.
20
H5650
For thy servant
H3045
doth know
[H8804]
H2398
that I have sinned
[H8804]
H935
: therefore, behold, I am come
[H8804]
H7223
the first
H3117
this day
H1004
of all the house
H3130
of Joseph
H3381
to go down
[H8800]
H7125
to meet
[H8800]
H113
my lord
H4428
the king.
21
H52
But Abishai
H1121
the son
H6870
of Zeruiah
H6030
answered
[H8799]
H559
and said
[H8799]
H8096
, Shall not Shimei
H4191
be put to death
[H8714]
H7043
for this, because he cursed
[H8765]
H3068
the LORD'S
H4899
anointed?
22
H1732
And David
H559
said
[H8799]
H1121
, What have I to do with you, ye sons
H6870
of Zeruiah
H3117
, that ye should this day
H7854
be adversaries
H376
unto me? shall there any man
H4191
be put to death
[H8714]
H3117
this day
H3478
in Israel
H3045
? for do not I know
[H8804]
H3117
that I am this day
H4428
king
H3478
over Israel?
23
H4428
Therefore the king
H559
said
[H8799]
H8096
unto Shimei
H4191
, Thou shalt not die
[H8799]
H4428
. And the king
H7650
sware
[H8735]
unto him.
24
H4648
And Mephibosheth
H1121
the son
H7586
of Saul
H3381
came down
[H8804]
H7125
to meet
[H8800]
H4428
the king
H3808
, and had neither
H6213
dressed
[H8804]
H7272
his feet
H6213
, nor trimmed
[H8804]
H8222
his beard
H3526
, nor washed
[H8765]
H899
his clothes
H3117
, from the day
H4428
the king
H3212
departed
[H8800]
H3117
until the day
H935
he came
[H8804]
H7965
again in peace.
25
H935
And it came to pass, when he was come
[H8804]
H3389
to Jerusalem
H7125
to meet
[H8800]
H4428
the king
H4428
, that the king
H559
said
[H8799]
H1980
unto him, Wherefore wentest
[H8804]
H4648
not thou with me, Mephibosheth?
26
H559
And he answered
[H8799]
H113
, My lord
H4428
, O king
H5650
, my servant
H7411
deceived
[H8765]
H5650
me: for thy servant
H559
said
[H8804]
H2280
, I will saddle
[H8799]
H2543
me an ass
H7392
, that I may ride
[H8799]
H3212
thereon, and go
[H8799]
H4428
to the king
H5650
; because thy servant
H6455
is lame.
27
H7270
And he hath slandered
[H8762]
H5650
thy servant
H113
unto my lord
H4428
the king
H113
; but my lord
H4428
the king
H4397
is as an angel
H430
of God
H6213
: do
[H8798]
H2896
therefore what is good
H5869
in thine eyes.
28
H1
For all of my father's
H1004
house
H3808
were but
H4194
dead
H582
men
H113
before my lord
H4428
the king
H7896
: yet didst thou set
[H8799]
H5650
thy servant
H398
among them that did eat
[H8802]
H7979
at thine own table
H6666
. What right
H3426
therefore have
H2199
I yet to cry
[H8800]
H4428
any more unto the king?
29
H4428
And the king
H559
said
[H8799]
H1696
unto him, Why speakest
[H8762]
H1697
thou any more of thy matters
H559
? I have said
[H8804]
H6717
, Thou and Ziba
H2505
divide
[H8799]
H7704
the land.
30
H4648
And Mephibosheth
H559
said
[H8799]
H4428
unto the king
H3947
, Yea, let him take
[H8799]
H310
all, forasmuch
H834
as
H113
my lord
H4428
the king
H935
is come again
[H8804]
H7965
in peace
H1004
unto his own house.
31
H1271
And Barzillai
H1569
the Gileadite
H3381
came down
[H8804]
H7274
from Rogelim
H5674
, and went over
[H8799]
H3383
Jordan
H4428
with the king
H7971
, to conduct
[H8763]
H3383
him over Jordan.
32
H1271
Now Barzillai
H3966
was a very
H2204
aged
[H8804]
H8084
man, even fourscore
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4428
: and he had provided the king
H3557
of sustenance
[H8773]
H7871
while he lay
H4266
at Mahanaim
H3966
; for he was a very
H1419
great
H376
man.
33
H4428
And the king
H559
said
[H8799]
H1271
unto Barzillai
H5674
, Come thou over
[H8798]
H3557
with me, and I will feed
[H8773]
H3389
thee with me in Jerusalem.
34
H1271
And Barzillai
H559
said
[H8799]
H4428
unto the king
H3117
, How long
H8141
have I to live
H2416
H5927
, that I should go up
[H8799]
H4428
with the king
H3389
unto Jerusalem?
35
H3117
I am this day
H8084
fourscore
H8141
years
H1121
old
H3045
: and can I discern
[H8799]
H2896
between good
H7451
and evil
H5650
? can thy servant
H2938
taste
[H8799]
H834
what
H398
I eat
[H8799]
H834
or what
H8354
I drink
[H8799]
H8085
? can I hear
[H8799]
H6963
any more the voice
H7891
of singing men
[H8802]
H7891
and singing women
[H8802]
H5650
? wherefore then should thy servant
H4853
be yet a burden
H113
unto my lord
H4428
the king?
36
H5650
Thy servant
H5674
will go
H4592
a little way
H5674
over
[H8799]
H3383
Jordan
H4428
with the king
H4428
: and why should the king
H1580
recompense
[H8799]
H1578
it me with such a reward?
37
H5650
Let thy servant
H7725
, I pray thee, turn back again
[H8799]
H4191
, that I may die
[H8799]
H5892
in mine own city
H6913
, and be buried by the grave
H1
of my father
H517
and of my mother
H5650
. But behold thy servant
H3643
Chimham
H5674
; let him go over
[H8799]
H113
with my lord
H4428
the king
H6213
; and do
[H8798]
H2896
to him what shall seem good
H5869
unto thee.
38
H4428
And the king
H559
answered
[H8799]
H3643
, Chimham
H5674
shall go
[H8799]
H6213
over with me, and I will do
[H8799]
H2896
to him that which shall seem good
H5869
H977
unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require
[H8799]
H6213
of me, that will I do
[H8799]
for thee.
39
H5971
And all the people
H5674
went over
[H8799]
H3383
Jordan
H4428
. And when the king
H5674
was come over
[H8804]
H4428
, the king
H5401
kissed
[H8799]
H1271
Barzillai
H1288
, and blessed
[H8762]
H7725
him; and he returned
[H8799]
H4725
unto his own place.
40
H4428
Then the king
H5674
went on
[H8799]
H1537
to Gilgal
H3643
, and Chimham
H5674
went on
[H8804]
H5971
with him: and all the people
H3063
of Judah
H5674
conducted
[H8689]
[H8675]
H5674
[H8686]
H4428
the king
H2677
, and also half
H5971
the people
H3478
of Israel.
41
H376
And, behold, all the men
H3478
of Israel
H935
came
[H8802]
H4428
to the king
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H4428
unto the king
H251
, Why have our brethren
H376
the men
H3063
of Judah
H1589
stolen thee away
[H8804]
H5674
, and have brought
[H8686]
H4428
the king
H1004
, and his household
H1732
, and all David's
H582
men
H3383
with him, over Jordan?
42
H376
And all the men
H3063
of Judah
H6030
answered
[H8799]
H376
the men
H3478
of Israel
H4428
, Because the king
H7138
is near of kin
H2734
to us: wherefore then be ye angry
[H8804]
H1697
for this matter
H398
? have we eaten
[H8804]
H398
at all
[H8800]
H4428
of the king's
H5375
cost ? or hath he given
[H8765]
H5379
us any gift?
43
H376
And the men
H3478
of Israel
H6030
answered
[H8799]
H376
the men
H3063
of Judah
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H6235
, We have ten
H3027
parts
H4428
in the king
H589
, and we
H1732
have also more right in David
H7043
than ye: why then did ye despise
[H8689]
H1697
us, that our advice
H7223
should not be first
H7725
had in bringing back
[H8687]
H4428
our king
H1697
? And the words
H376
of the men
H3063
of Judah
H7185
were fiercer
[H8799]
H1697
than the words
H376
of the men
H3478
of Israel.
