H1732
And when David
H4592
was a little
H5674 [H8804]
past
H7218
the top
H6717
of the hill, behold, Ziba
H5288
the servant
H4648
of Mephibosheth
H7125 [H8800]
met
H6776
him, with a couple
H2543
of donkeys
H2280 [H8803]
saddled,
H3967
and upon them two hundred
H3899
loaves of bread,
H3967
and an hundred
H6778
bunches of raisins,
H3967
and an hundred
H7019
of summer fruits,
H5035
and a bottle
H3196
of wine.
2
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H6717
to Ziba,
H6717
What meanest thou by these? And Ziba
H559 [H8799]
said,
H2543
The donkeys
H4428
are for the king's
H1004
household
H7392 [H8800]
to ride on;
H3899
and the bread
H7019
and summer fruit
H5288
for the young men
H398 [H8800]
to eat;
H3196
and the wine,
H3287
that such as are faint
H4057
in the wilderness
H8354 [H8800]
may drink.
3
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said,
H113
And where is thy master's
H1121
son?
H6717
And Ziba
H559 [H8799]
said
H4428
to the king,
H3427 [H8802]
Behold, he abideth
H3389
at Jerusalem:
H559 [H8804]
for he said,
H3117
To day
H1004
shall the house
H3478
of Israel
H7725 [H8686]
restore
H4468
to me the kingdom
H1
of my father.
4
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H4428
the king
H6717
to Ziba,
H4648
Behold, thine are all that pertained to Mephibosheth.
H6717
And Ziba
H559 [H8799]
said,
H7812 [H8694]
I humbly
H4672 [H8799]
beseech thee that I may find
H2580
grace
H5869
in thine eyes,
H113
my sovereign,
H4428
O king.
5
H4428
And when king
H1732
David
H935 [H8804]
came
H980
to Bahurim,
H3318 [H8802]
behold, from there came out
H376
a man
H4940
of the family
H1004
of the house
H7586
of Saul,
H8034
whose name
H8096
was Shimei,
H1121
the son
H1617
of Gera:
H3318 [H8802]
he came forth,
H7043 [H8764]
and cursed
H3318 [H8800]
continually as he came.
6
H5619 [H8762]
And he cast
H68
stones
H1732
at David,
H5650
and at all the servants
H4428
of king
H1732
David:
H5971
and all the people
H1368
and all the mighty men
H3225
were on his right hand
H8040
and on his left.
7
H559 [H8804]
And thus said
H8096
Shimei
H7043 [H8763]
when he cursed,
H3318 [H8798]
Come out,
H3318 [H8798]
come out,
H1818
thou bloody
H376
man,
H1100
and thou worthless
H376
fellow:
8
H3068
The LORD
H7725 [H8689]
hath returned
H1818
upon thee all the blood
H1004
of the house
H7586
of Saul,
H4427 [H8804]
in whose stead thou hast reigned;
H3068
and the LORD
H5414 [H8799]
hath given
H4410
the kingdom
H3027
into the hand
H53
of Absalom
H1121
thy son:
H7451
and, behold, thou art taken in thy evil,
H1818
because thou art a bloody
H376
man.
9
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H52
Abishai
H1121
the son
H6870
of Zeruiah
H4428
to the king,
H4191 [H8801]
Why should this dead
H3611
dog
H7043 [H8762]
curse
H113
my sovereign
H4428
the king?
H5674 [H8799]
let me go over,
H5493 [H8686]
I pray thee, and take off
H7218
his head.
10
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said,
H1121
What have I to do with you, ye sons
H6870
of Zeruiah?
H7043 [H8762]
so let him curse,
H3068
because the LORD
H559 [H8804]
hath said
H7043 [H8761]
to him, Curse
H1732
David.
H559 [H8799]
Who shall then say,
H6213 [H8804]
Why hast thou done so?
11
H1732
And David
H559 [H8799]
said
H52
to Abishai,
H5650
and to all his servants,
H1121
Behold, my son,
H3318 [H8804]
who came forth
H4578
from mine own bowels,
H1245 [H8764]
seeketh
H5315
my life:
H1145
how much more now may this Benjamite
H3240 [H8685]
do it? let him alone,
H7043 [H8762]
and let him curse;
H3068
for the LORD
H559 [H8804]
hath bidden him.
12
H3068
It may be that the LORD
H7200 [H8799]
will look
H5869 H6040 [H8675]
on my affliction,
H3068
and that the LORD
H7725 [H8689]
will repay
H2896
me good
H7045
for his cursing
H3117
this day.
13
H1732
And as David
H582
and his men
H3212 [H8799]
went
H1870
by the way,
H8096
Shimei
H1980 [H8802]
went along
H2022
on the hill's
H6763
side
H5980
opposite
H7043 [H8762]
him, and cursed
H1980 [H8800]
as he went,
H5619 [H8762]
and threw
H68
stones
H5980
at
H6080 [H8765]
him, and cast
H6083
dust.
14
H4428
And the king,
H5971
and all the people
H935 [H8799]
that were with him, became
H5889
languished,
H5314 [H8735]
and refreshed themselves there.
15
H53
And Absalom,
H5971
and all the people
H376
the men
H3478
of Israel,
H935 [H8804]
came
H3389
to Jerusalem,
H302
and Ahithophel with him.
16
H2365
And it came to pass, when Hushai
H757
the Archite,
H1732
David's
H7463
friend,
H935 [H8804]
had come
H53
to Absalom,
H2365
that Hushai
H559 [H8799]
said
H53
to Absalom,
H2421 [H8799]
God save
H4428
the king,
H2421 [H8799]
God save
H4428
the king.
17
H53
And Absalom
H559 [H8799]
said
H2365
to Hushai,
H2617
Is this thy mercy
H7453
to thy friend?
H1980 [H8804]
why wentest
H7453
thou not with thy friend?
18
H2365
And Hushai
H559 [H8799]
said
H53
to Absalom,
H3068
Nay; but whom the LORD,
H5971
and this people,
H376
and all the men
H3478
of Israel,
H977 [H8804]
choose,
H3427 [H8799]
his will I be, and with him will I abide.
19
H8145
And again,
H5647 [H8799]
whom should I serve?
H6440
should I not serve in the face
H1121
of his son?
H5647 [H8804]
as I have served
H1
in thy father's
H6440
face,
H6440
so will I be in thy face.
20
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H53
Absalom
H302
to Ahithophel,
H3051 [H8798]
Give
H6098
counsel
H6213 [H8799]
among you what we shall do.
21
H302
And Ahithophel
H559 [H8799]
said
H53
to Absalom,
H935 [H8798]
Go in
H1
to thy father's
H6370
concubines,
H3240 [H8689]
which he hath left
H8104 [H8800]
to keep
H1004
the house;
H3478
and all Israel
H8085 [H8804]
shall hear
H887 [H8738]
that thou art odious
H1
to thy father:
H3027
then shall the hands
H2388 [H8804]
of all that are with thee be strong.
