H3097
Now Joab
H1121
the son
H6870
of Zeruiah
H3045
perceived
H4428
that the king’s
H3820
heart
H5921
was toward
H53
Absalom.
2
H3097
And Joab
H7971
sent
H8620
to Tekoah,
H3947
and fetched
H8033
there
H2450
a wise
H802
woman,
H559
and said
H4994
to her, I pray
H56
you, feign yourself to be a mourner,
H3847
and put
H4994
on now
H60
mourning
H899
apparel,
H5480
and anoint
H8081
not yourself with oil,
H802
but be as a woman
H7227
that had a long
H3117
time
H56
mourned
H4191
for the dead:
3
H935
And come
H4428
to the king,
H1696
and speak
H2088
on this
H1697
manner
H3097
to him. So Joab
H7760
put
H1697
the words
H6310
in her mouth.
4
H802
And when the woman
H8621
of Tekoah
H559
spoke
H4428
to the king,
H5307
she fell
H5921
on
H639
her face
H776
to the ground,
H7812
and did obeisance,
H559
and said,
H3467
Help,
H4428
O king.
5
H4428
And the king
H559
said
H4100
to her, What
H559
ails you? And she answered,
H61
I am indeed
H490
a widow
H802
woman,
H376
and my husband
H4191
is dead.
6
H8198
And your handmaid
H8147
had two
H1121
sons,
H8147
and they two
H5327
strove
H7704
together in the field,
H369
and there was none
H5337
to part
H259
them, but the one
H5221
smote
H259
the other,
H4191
and slew him.
7
H2009
And, behold,
H3605
the whole
H4940
family
H6965
is risen
H5921
against
H8198
your handmaid,
H559
and they said,
H5414
Deliver
H5221
him that smote
H251
his brother,
H4191
that we may kill
H5315
him, for the life
H251
of his brother
H834
whom
H2026
he slew;
H8045
and we will destroy
H3423
the heir
H1571
also:
H3518
and so they shall quench
H1513
my coal
H834
which
H7604
is left,
H7604
and shall not leave
H376
to my husband
H1115
neither
H8034
name
H7611
nor remainder
H127
on the earth.
8
H4428
And the king
H559
said
H802
to the woman,
H3212
Go
H1004
to your house,
H6680
and I will give charge
H5921
concerning you.
9
H802
And the woman
H8621
of Tekoah
H559
said
H4428
to the king,
H113
My lord,
H4428
O king,
H5771
the iniquity
H5921
be on
H5921
me, and on
H1
my father’s
H1004
house:
H4428
and the king
H3678
and his throne
H5355
be guiltless.
10
H4428
And the king
H559
said,
H1696
Whoever said
H935
ought to you, bring
H5060
him to me, and he shall not touch
H3254
you any more.
H5750
11
H559
Then said
H4994
she, I pray
H4428
you, let the king
H2142
remember
H3068
the LORD
H430
your God,
H1350
that you would not suffer the revengers
H1818
of blood
H7843
to destroy
H7235
any more,
H8045
lest they destroy
H1121
my son.
H559
And he said,
H3068
As the LORD
H2416
lives,
H8185
there shall not one hair
H1121
of your son
H5307
fall
H776
to the earth.
12
H802
Then the woman
H559
said,
H8198
Let your handmaid,
H4994
I pray
H1696
you, speak
H1697
one word
H113
to my lord
H4428
the king.
H559
And he said,
H1696
Say on.
13
H802
And the woman
H559
said,
H4100
Why
H2803
then have you thought
H2063
such
H5921
a thing against
H5971
the people
H430
of God?
H4428
for the king
H1696
does speak
H2088
this
H1697
thing
H818
as one which is faulty,
H4428
in that the king
H7725
does not fetch
H7725
home
H7725
again
H5080
his banished.
14
H4191
For we must needs die,
H4325
and are as water
H5064
spilt
H776
on the ground,
H834
which
H3808
cannot
H622
be gathered
H3808
up again; neither
H430
does God
H5375
respect
H5315
any person:
H2803
yet does he devise
H4284
means,
H5080
that his banished
H5080
be not expelled from him.
15
H6258
Now
H935
therefore that I am come
H1696
to speak
H2088
of this
H1697
thing
H113
to my lord
H4428
the king,
H3588
it is because
H5971
the people
H3372
have made me afraid:
H8198
and your handmaid
H559
said,
H4994
I will now
H1696
speak
H4428
to the king;
H4428
it may be that the king
H6213
will perform
H1697
the request
H519
of his handmaid.
16
H4428
For the king
H8085
will hear,
H5337
to deliver
H519
his handmaid
H3709
out of the hand
H376
of the man
H8045
that would destroy
H1121
me and my son
H3162
together
H5159
out of the inheritance
H430
of God.
17
H8198
Then your handmaid
H559
said,
H1697
The word
H113
of my lord
H4428
the king
H4994
shall now
H4496
be comfortable:
H4397
for as an angel
H430
of God,
H3651
so
H113
is my lord
H4428
the king
H8085
to discern
H2896
good
H7451
and bad:
H3068
therefore the LORD
H430
your God will be with you.
18
H4428
Then the king
H6030
answered
H559
and said
H802
to the woman,
H3582
Hide
H4994
not from me, I pray
H1697
you, the thing
H7592
that I shall ask
H802
you. And the woman
H559
said,
H113
Let my lord
H4428
the king
H4994
now
H1696
speak.
19
H4428
And the king
H559
said,
H3027
Is not the hand
H3097
of Joab
H3605
with you in all
H2063
this?
H802
And the woman
H6030
answered
H559
and said,
H5315
As your soul
H2416
lives,
H113
my lord
H4428
the king,
H376
none
H3231
can turn to the right
H3231
hand
H8041
or to the left
H113
from ought that my lord
H4428
the king
H1696
has spoken:
H5650
for your servant
H3097
Joab,
H6680
he bade
H7760
me, and he put
H3605
all
H428
these
H1697
words
H6310
in the mouth
H8198
of your handmaid:
20
H5437
To fetch
H5437
about
H6440
this form
H1697
of speech
H5650
has your servant
H3097
Joab
H6213
done
H2088
this
H1697
thing:
H113
and my lord
H2450
is wise,
H2451
according to the wisdom
H4397
of an angel
H430
of God,
H3045
to know
H3605
all
H776
things that are in the earth.
21
H4428
And the king
H559
said
H3097
to Joab,
H2009
Behold
H4994
now,
H6213
I have done
H2088
this
H1697
thing:
H3212
go
H7725
therefore, bring
H5288
the young
H53
man Absalom
H7725
again.
22
H3097
And Joab
H5307
fell
H776
to the ground
H413
on
H6440
his face,
H7812
and bowed
H1288
himself, and thanked
H4428
the king:
H3097
and Joab
H559
said,
H3117
To day
H5650
your servant
H3045
knows
H4672
that I have found
H2580
grace
H5869
in your sight,
H113
my lord,
H4428
O king,
H4428
in that the king
H6213
has fulfilled
H1697
the request
H5650
of his servant.
23
H3097
So Joab
H6965
arose
H3212
and went
H1650
to Geshur,
H935
and brought
H53
Absalom
H3389
to Jerusalem.
24
H4428
And the king
H559
said,
H5437
Let him turn
H1004
to his own house,
H7200
and let him not see
H6440
my face.
H53
So Absalom
H5437
returned
H1004
to his own house,
H7200
and saw
H4428
not the king’s
H6440
face.
25
H3605
But in all
H3478
Israel
H3808
there was none
H376
H3966
to be so much
H1984
praised
H53
as Absalom
H3303
for his beauty:
H3709
from the sole
H7272
of his foot
H6936
even to the crown
H6936
of his head
H3808
there was no
H3971
blemish in him.
26
H1548
And when he polled
H7218
his head,
H3117
(for it was at every year’s
H7093
end
H1548
that he polled
H3588
it: because
H3513
the hair was heavy
H5921
on
H1548
him, therefore he polled
H8254
it:) he weighed
H8181
the hair
H7218
of his head
H3967
at two hundred
H8255
shekels
H4428
after the king’s
H68
weight.
27
H53
And to Absalom
H3205
there were born
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
dwelled
H3117
two full
H8141
years
H3389
in Jerusalem,
H7200
and saw
H4428
not the king’s
H6440
face.
29
H53
Therefore Absalom
H7971
sent
H3097
for Joab,
H7971
to have sent
H4428
him to the king;
H14
but he would
H935
not come
H7971
to him: and when he sent
H5750
again
H8145
the second
H14
time, he would
H935
not come.
30
H559
Therefore he said
H5650
to his servants,
H7200
See,
H3097
Joab’s
H2513
field
H413
is near
H3027
mine,
H8184
and he has barley
H8033
there;
H3212
go
H784
and set it on fire.
H53
And Absalom’s
H5650
servants
H2513
set the field
H784
on fire.
31
H3097
Then Joab
H6965
arose,
H935
and came
H53
to Absalom
H1004
to his house,
H559
and said
H4100
to him, Why
H5650
have your servants
H2513
set my field
H784
on fire?
32
H53
And Absalom
H559
answered
H3097
Joab,
H2009
Behold,
H7971
I sent
H559
to you, saying,
H935
Come
H7971
here, that I may send
H4428
you to the king,
H559
to say,
H4100
Why
H935
am I come
H1650
from Geshur?
H2896
it had been good
H8033
for me to have been there
H5750
still:
H6258
now
H7200
therefore let me see
H4428
the king’s
H6440
face;
H518
and if
H5771
there be any iniquity
H4191
in me, let him kill me.
