H3097
Now Joab
H1121
the son
H6870
of Zeruiah
H3045
perceived
[H8799]
H4428
that the king's
H3820
heart
H53
was toward Absalom.
2
H3097
And Joab
H7971
sent
[H8799]
H8620
to Tekoah
H3947
, and fetched
[H8799]
H2450
thence a wise
H802
woman
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H56
unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner
[H8693]
H3847
, and put on
[H8798]
H60
now mourning
H899
apparel
H5480
, and anoint
[H8799]
H8081
not thyself with oil
H802
, but be as a woman
H7227
that had a long
H3117
time
H56
mourned
[H8690]
H4191
for the dead
[H8801]
:
3
H935
And come
[H8804]
H4428
to the king
H1696
, and speak
[H8765]
H1697
on this manner
H3097
unto him. So Joab
H7760
put
[H8799]
H1697
the words
H6310
in her mouth.
4
H802
And when the woman
H8621
of Tekoah
H559
spake
[H8799]
H4428
to the king
H5307
, she fell
[H8799]
H639
on her face
H776
to the ground
H7812
, and did obeisance
[H8691]
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H3467
, Help
[H8685]
H4428
, O king.
5
H4428
And the king
H559
said
[H8799]
H559
unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered
[H8799]
H61
, I am indeed
H490
a widow
H802
woman
H376
, and mine husband
H4191
is dead
[H8799]
.
6
H8198
And thy handmaid
H8147
had two
H1121
sons
H8147
, and they two
H5327
strove together
[H8735]
H7704
in the field
H5337
, and there was none to part
[H8688]
H259
them, but the one
H5221
smote
[H8686]
H259
the other
H4191
, and slew
[H8686]
him.
7
H4940
And, behold, the whole family
H6965
is risen
[H8804]
H8198
against thine handmaid
H559
, and they said
[H8799]
H5414
, Deliver
[H8798]
H5221
him that smote
[H8688]
H251
his brother
H4191
, that we may kill
[H8686]
H5315
him, for the life
H251
of his brother
H2026
whom he slew
[H8804]
H8045
; and we will destroy
[H8686]
H3423
the heir
[H8802]
H3518
also: and so they shall quench
[H8765]
H1513
my coal
H7760
which is left
[H8800]
H7604
, and shall not leave
[H8738]
H376
to my husband
H8034
neither name
H7611
nor remainder
H6440
upon
H127
the earth.
8
H4428
And the king
H559
said
[H8799]
H802
unto the woman
H3212
, Go
[H8798]
H1004
to thine house
H6680
, and I will give charge
[H8762]
concerning thee.
9
H802
And the woman
H8621
of Tekoah
H559
said
[H8799]
H4428
unto the king
H113
, My lord
H4428
, O king
H5771
, the iniquity
H1
be on me, and on my father's
H1004
house
H4428
: and the king
H3678
and his throne
H5355
be guiltless.
10
H4428
And the king
H559
said
[H8799]
H1696
, Whosoever saith
[H8764]
H935
ought unto thee, bring
[H8689]
H5060
him to me, and he shall not touch
[H8800]
H3254
thee any more
[H8686]
.
11
H559
Then said
[H8799]
H4428
she, I pray thee, let the king
H2142
remember
[H8799]
H3068
the LORD
H430
thy God
H1350
, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers
[H8802]
H1818
of blood
H7843
to destroy
[H8763]
H7235
any more
[H8687]
H8045
, lest they destroy
[H8686]
H1121
my son
H559
. And he said
[H8799]
H3068
, As the LORD
H2416
liveth
H8185
, there shall not one hair
H1121
of thy son
H5307
fall
[H8799]
H776
to the earth.
12
H802
Then the woman
H559
said
[H8799]
H8198
, Let thine handmaid
H1696
, I pray thee, speak
[H8762]
H1697
one word
H113
unto my lord
H4428
the king
H559
. And he said
[H8799]
H1696
, Say on
[H8761]
.
13
H802
And the woman
H559
said
[H8799]
H2803
, Wherefore then hast thou thought
[H8804]
H5971
such a thing against the people
H430
of God
H4428
? for the king
H1696
doth speak
[H8693]
H1697
this thing
H818
as one which is faulty
H4428
, in that the king
H7725
doth not fetch home again
[H8687]
H5080
his banished
[H8737]
.
14
H4191
For we must needs
[H8800]
H4191
die
[H8799]
H4325
, and are as water
H5064
spilt
[H8737]
H776
on the ground
H622
, which cannot be gathered up again
[H8735]
H430
; neither doth God
H5375
respect
[H8799]
H5315
any person
H2803
: yet doth he devise
[H8804]
H4284
means
H5080
, that his banished
[H8737]
H5080
be not expelled
[H8799]
from him.
15
H935
Now therefore that I am come
[H8804]
H1696
to speak
[H8763]
H1697
of this thing
H113
unto my lord
H4428
the king
H5971
, it is because the people
H3372
have made me afraid
[H8765]
H8198
: and thy handmaid
H559
said
[H8799]
H1696
, I will now speak
[H8762]
H4428
unto the king
H4428
; it may be that the king
H6213
will perform
[H8799]
H1697
the request
H519
of his handmaid.
16
H4428
For the king
H8085
will hear
[H8799]
H5337
, to deliver
[H8687]
H519
his handmaid
H3709
out of the hand
H376
of the man
H8045
that would destroy
[H8687]
H1121
me and my son
H3162
together
H5159
out of the inheritance
H430
of God.
17
H8198
Then thine handmaid
H559
said
[H8799]
H1697
, The word
H113
of my lord
H4428
the king
H4496
shall now be comfortable
H4397
: for as an angel
H430
of God
H113
, so is my lord
H4428
the king
H8085
to discern
[H8800]
H2896
good
H7451
and bad
H3068
: therefore the LORD
H430
thy God will be with thee.
18
H4428
Then the king
H6030
answered
[H8799]
H559
and said
[H8799]
H802
unto the woman
H3582
, Hide
[H8762]
H1697
not from me, I pray thee, the thing
H7592
that I shall ask
[H8802]
H802
thee. And the woman
H559
said
[H8799]
H113
, Let my lord
H4428
the king
H1696
now speak
[H8762]
.
19
H4428
And the king
H559
said
[H8799]
H3027
, Is not the hand
H3097
of Joab
H802
with thee in all this? And the woman
H6030
answered
[H8799]
H559
and said
[H8799]
H5315
, As thy soul
H2416
liveth
H113
, my lord
H4428
the king
H376
, none
H786
can
H3231
turn to the right hand
[H8687]
H8041
or to the left
[H8687]
H113
from ought that my lord
H4428
the king
H1696
hath spoken
[H8765]
H5650
: for thy servant
H3097
Joab
H6680
, he bade
[H8765]
H7760
me, and he put
[H8804]
H1697
all these words
H6310
in the mouth
H8198
of thine handmaid:
20
H5668
To
H5437
fetch about
[H8763]
H6440
this form
H1697
of speech
H5650
hath thy servant
H3097
Joab
H6213
done
[H8804]
H1697
this thing
H113
: and my lord
H2450
is wise
H2451
, according to the wisdom
H4397
of an angel
H430
of God
H3045
, to know
[H8800]
H776
all things that are in the earth.
21
H4428
And the king
H559
said
[H8799]
H3097
unto Joab
H6213
, Behold now, I have done
[H8804]
H1697
this thing
H3212
: go
[H8798]
H7725
therefore, bring
H5288
the young man
H53
Absalom
H7725
again
[H8685]
.
22
H3097
And Joab
H5307
fell
[H8799]
H776
to the ground
H6440
on his face
H7812
, and bowed
[H8691]
H1288
himself, and thanked
[H8762]
H4428
the king
H3097
: and Joab
H559
said
[H8799]
H3117
, To day
H5650
thy servant
H3045
knoweth
[H8804]
H4672
that I have found
[H8804]
H2580
grace
H5869
in thy sight
H113
, my lord
H4428
, O king
H4428
, in that the king
H6213
hath fulfilled
[H8804]
H1697
the request
H5650
of his servant.
23
H3097
So Joab
H6965
arose
[H8799]
H3212
and went
[H8799]
H1650
to Geshur
H935
, and brought
[H8686]
H53
Absalom
H3389
to Jerusalem.
24
H4428
And the king
H559
said
[H8799]
H5437
, Let him turn
[H8735]
H1004
to his own house
H7200
, and let him not see
[H8799]
H6440
my face
H53
. So Absalom
H5437
returned
[H8735]
H1004
to his own house
H7200
, and saw
[H8804]
H4428
not the king's
H6440
face.
25
H3478
But in all Israel
H376
there was none
H3966
to be so much
H1984
praised
[H8763]
H53
as Absalom
H3303
for his beauty
H3709
: from the sole
H7272
of his foot
H6936
even to the crown of his head
H3971
there was no blemish in him.
26
H1548
And when he polled
[H8763]
H7218
his head
H3117
, (for it was at every year's
H3117
H7093
end
H1548
that he polled
[H8762]
H3513
it : because the hair was heavy
[H8804]
H1548
on him, therefore he polled
[H8765]
H8254
it:) he weighed
[H8804]
H8181
the hair
H7218
of his head
H3967
at two hundred
H8255
shekels
H4428
after the king's
H68
weight.
27
H53
And unto Absalom
H3205
there were born
[H8735]
H7969
three
H1121
sons
H259
, and one
H1323
daughter
H8034
, whose name
H8559
was Tamar
H802
: she was a woman
H3303
of a fair
H4758
countenance.
28
H53
So Absalom
H3427
dwelt
[H8799]
H3117
two full
H8141
years
H3389
in Jerusalem
H7200
, and saw
[H8804]
H4428
not the king's
H6440
face.
29
H53
Therefore Absalom
H7971
sent
[H8799]
H3097
for Joab
H7971
, to have sent
[H8800]
H4428
him to the king
H14
; but he would
[H8804]
H935
not come
[H8800]
H7971
to him: and when he sent again
[H8799]
H8145
the second time
H14
, he would
[H8804]
H935
not come
[H8800]
.
30
H559
Therefore he said
[H8799]
H5650
unto his servants
H7200
, See
[H8798]
H3097
, Joab's
H2513
field
H413
is near
H3027
mine
H8184
, and he hath barley
H3212
there; go
[H8798]
H3341
and set
[H8685]
H784
it on fire
H53
. And Absalom's
H5650
servants
H3341
set
[H8686]
H2513
the field
H784
on fire.
31
H3097
Then Joab
H6965
arose
[H8799]
H935
, and came
[H8799]
H53
to Absalom
H1004
unto his house
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H5650
unto him, Wherefore have thy servants
H3341
set
[H8689]
H2513
my field
H784
on fire?
32
H53
And Absalom
H559
answered
[H8799]
H3097
Joab
H7971
, Behold, I sent
[H8804]
H559
unto thee, saying
[H8800]
H935
, Come
[H8798]
H7971
hither, that I may send
[H8799]
H4428
thee to the king
H559
, to say
[H8800]
H935
, Wherefore am I come
[H8804]
H1650
from Geshur
H2896
? it had been good
H7200
for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see
[H8799]
H4428
the king's
H6440
face
H3426
; and if there be
H5771
any iniquity
H4191
in me, let him kill
[H8689]
me.
33
H3097
So Joab
H935
came
[H8799]
H4428
to the king
H5046
, and told
[H8686]
H7121
him: and when he had called
[H8799]
H53
for Absalom
H935
, he came
[H8799]
H4428
to the king
H7812
, and bowed
[H8691]
H639
himself on his face
H776
to the ground
H6440
before
H4428
the king
H4428
: and the king
H5401
kissed
[H8799]
H53
Absalom.
