H5046 [H8714]
And it was told
H3097
to Joab,
H4428
Behold, the king
H1058 [H8802]
weepeth
H56 [H8691]
and mourneth
H53
for Absalom.
2
H8668
And the victory
H3117
that day
H60
was turned into mourning
H5971
to all the people:
H5971
for the people
H8085 [H8804]
heard
H559 [H8800]
it said
H3117
that day
H4428
how the king
H6087 [H8738]
was grieved
H1121
for his son.
3
H5971
And the people
H935 [H8800]
withdrew
H1589 [H8691]
by stealth
H3117
that day
H5892
into the city,
H5971
as people
H3637 [H8737]
being ashamed
H1589 [H8691]
steal away
H5127 [H8800]
when they flee
H4421
in battle.
4
H4428
But the king
H3813 [H8804]
covered
H6440
his face,
H4428
and the king
H2199 [H8799]
cried
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 [H8799]
came
H1004
into the house
H4428
to the king,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H3001 [H8689]
Thou hast shamed
H3117
this day
H6440
the faces
H5650
of all thy servants,
H3117
who this day
H4422 [H8764]
have saved
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 [H8800]
In that thou lovest
H8130 [H8802]
thy enemies,
H8130 [H8800]
and hatest
H157 [H8802]
thy friends.
H5046 [H8689]
For thou hast declared
H3117
this day,
H8269
that thou regardest neither princes
H5650
nor servants:
H3117
for this day
H3045 [H8804]
I perceive,
H3863
that if
H53
Absalom
H2416
had lived,
H4191 [H8801]
and all we had died
H3117
this day,
H3477 H5869
then it had pleased thee well.
7
H6965 [H8798]
Now therefore arise,
H3318 [H8798]
go forth,
H1696 [H8761]
and speak
H3820
kindly
H5650
to thy servants:
H7650 [H8738]
for I swear
H3068
by the LORD,
H3318 [H8802]
if thou shalt not go forth,
H3885 [H8799]
there will not tarry
H376
one
H3915
with thee this night:
H7489 [H8804]
and that will be worse
H7451
to thee than all the evil
H935 [H8804]
that hath befallen
H5271
thee from thy youth until now.
8
H4428
Then the king
H6965 [H8799]
rose,
H3427 [H8799]
and sat
H8179
in the gate.
H5046 [H8689]
And they told
H5971
to all the people,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H4428
Behold, the king
H3427 [H8802]
doth sit
H8179
in the gate.
H5971
And all the people
H935 [H8799]
came
H6440
at the face of
H4428
the king:
H3478
for Israel
H5127 [H8804]
had fled
H376
every man
H168
to his tent.
9
H5971
And all the people
H1777 [H8737]
were at strife
H7626
throughout all the tribes
H3478
of Israel,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H4428
The king
H5337 [H8689]
saved
H3709
us from the palm
H341 [H8802]
of our enemies,
H4422 [H8765]
and he delivered
H3709
us from the palm
H6430
of the Philistines;
H1272 [H8804]
and now he hath fled
H776
out of the land
H53
for Absalom.
10
H53
And Absalom,
H4886 [H8804]
whom we anointed
H4191 [H8804]
over us, is dead
H4421
in battle.
H2790 [H8688]
Now therefore why speak
H7725 0
ye not a word of bringing
H4428
the king
H7725 [H8687]
back?
11
H4428
And king
H1732
David
H7971 [H8804]
sent
H6659
to Zadok
H54
and to Abiathar
H3548
the priests,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H1696 [H8761]
Speak
H2205
to the elders
H3063
of Judah,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H314
Why are ye the last
H7725 0
to bring
H4428
the king
H7725 [H8687]
back
H1004
to his house?
H1697
seeing the speech
H3478
of all Israel
H935 [H8804]
is come
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
why then are ye the last
H7725 [H8687]
to bring back
H4428
the king?
13
H559 [H8799]
And say
H6021
ye to Amasa,
H6106
Art thou not of my bone,
H1320
and of my flesh?
H430
God
H6213 [H8799]
do
H3254 [H8686]
so to me, and more
H8269
also, if thou be not captain
H6635
of the host
H6440
at the face of
H3117
me continually
H8478
in the place
H3097
of Joab.
14
H5186 [H8686]
And he bowed
H3824
the heart
H376
of all the men
H3063
of Judah,
H259
even as the heart of one
H376
man;
H7971 [H8799]
so that they sent
H4428
this word to the king,
H7725 [H8798]
Return
H5650
thou, and all thy servants.
15
H4428
So the king
H7725 [H8799]
returned,
H935 [H8799]
and came
H3383
to Jordan.
H3063
And Judah
H935 [H8804]
came
H1537
to Gilgal,
H3212 [H8800]
to go
H7125 [H8800]
to meet
H4428
the king,
H5674 0
to conduct
H4428
the king
H5674 [H8687]
over
H3383
Jordan.
16
H8096
And Shimei
H1121
the son
H1617
of Gera,
H1145
a Benjamite,
H980
who was of Bahurim,
H4116 [H8762]
hasted
H3381 [H8799]
and came down
H376
with the men
H3063
of Judah
H7125 [H8800]
to meet
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 H6240
and his fifteen
H1121
sons
H6242
and his twenty
H5650
servants
H6743 [H8804]
with him; and they went over
H3383
Jordan
H6440
at the face of
H4428
the king.
18
H5674 [H8804]
And there went over
H5679
a ferry boat
H5674 [H8687]
to carry over
H4428
the king's
H1004
household,
H6213 [H8800]
and to do
H5869
what he thought
H2896
good.
H8096
And Shimei
H1121
the son
H1617
of Gera
H5307 [H8804]
fell down
H6440
at the face of
H4428
the king,
H5674 [H8800]
as he came over
H3383
Jordan;
19
H559 [H8799]
And said
H4428
to the king,
H113
Let not my lord
H2803 [H8799]
impute
H5771
perversity
H2142 [H8799]
to me, neither do thou remember
H5650
that which thy servant
H5753 [H8689]
did perversely
H3117
the day
H113
that my lord
H4428
the king
H3318 [H8804]
went out
H3389
of Jerusalem,
H4428
that the king
H7760 [H8800]
should take
H3820
it to his heart.
20
H5650
For thy servant
H3045 [H8804]
doth know
H2398 [H8804]
that I have sinned:
H935 [H8804]
therefore, behold, I have come
H7223
the first
H3117
this day
H1004
of all the house
H3130
of Joseph
H3381 [H8800]
to go down
H7125 [H8800]
to meet
H113
my lord
H4428
the king.
21
H52
But Abishai
H1121
the son
H6870
of Zeruiah
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H8096
Shall not Shimei
H4191 [H8714]
be put to death
H7043 [H8765]
for this, because he cursed
H3068
the LORD'S
H4899
anointed?
22
H1732
And David
H559 [H8799]
said,
H1121
What have I to do with you, ye sons
H6870
of Zeruiah,
H3117
that ye should this day
H7854
be adversaries
H376
to me? shall there any man
H4191 [H8714]
be put to death
H3117
this day
H3478
in Israel?
H3045 [H8804]
for do not I know
H3117
that I am this day
H4428
king
H3478
over Israel?
23
H4428
Therefore the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H8096
to Shimei,
H4191 [H8799]
Thou shalt not die.
H4428
And the king
H7650 [H8735]
swore to him.
24
H4648
And Mephibosheth
H1121
the son
H7586
of Saul
H3381 [H8804]
came down
H7125 [H8800]
to meet
H4428
the king,
H3808
and had neither
H6213 [H8804]
cared for
H7272
his feet,
H6213 [H8804]
nor trimmed
H8222
his beard,
H3526 [H8765]
nor washed
H899
his clothes,
H3117
from the day
H4428
the king
H3212 [H8800]
departed
H3117
until the day
H935 [H8804]
he came
H7965
again in peace.
25
H935 [H8804]
And it came to pass, when he had come
H3389
to Jerusalem
H7125 [H8800]
to meet
H4428
the king,
H4428
that the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H1980 [H8804]
to him, Why didst thou
H4648
not go with me, Mephibosheth?
26
H559 [H8799]
And he answered,
H113
My lord,
H4428
O king,
H5650
my servant
H7411 [H8765]
deceived
H5650
me: for thy servant
H559 [H8804]
said,
H2280 [H8799]
I will saddle
H2543
me a donkey,
H7392 [H8799]
that I may ride
H3212 [H8799]
on it, and go
H4428
to the king;
H5650
because thy servant
H6455
is lame.
27
H7270 [H8762]
And he hath slandered
H5650
thy servant
H113
to my lord
H4428
the king;
H113
but my lord
H4428
the king
H4397
is as a messenger
H430
of God:
H6213 [H8798]
do
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 [H8799]
yet didst thou set
H5650
thy servant
H398 [H8802]
among them that ate
H7979
at thy own table.
H6666
What right
H3426
therefore have
H2199 [H8800]
I yet to cry
H4428
any more to the king?
29
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H1696 [H8762]
to him, Why speakest
H1697
thou any more of thy matters?
H559 [H8804]
I have said,
H6717
Thou and Ziba
H2505 [H8799]
divide
H7704
the land.
30
H4648
And Mephibosheth
H559 [H8799]
said
H4428
to the king,
H3947 [H8799]
Yea, let him take
H310
all, forasmuch
H834
as
H113
my lord
H4428
the king
H935 [H8804]
hath come again
H7965
in peace
H1004
to his own house.
31
H1271
And Barzillai
H1569
the Gileadite
H3381 [H8804]
came down
H7274
from Rogelim,
H5674 [H8799]
and went over
H3383
Jordan
H4428
with the king,
H7971 [H8763]
to conduct
H3383
him over Jordan.
32
H1271
Now Barzillai
H3966
was a very
H2204 [H8804]
aged
H8084
man, even eighty
H8141
years
H1121
old:
H4428
and he had provided the king
H3557 [H8773]
with sustenance
H7871
while he lay
H4266
at Mahanaim;
H3966
for he was a very
H1419
great
H376
man.
33
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H1271
to Barzillai,
H5674 [H8798]
Come thou over
H3557 [H8773]
with me, and I will feed
H3389
thee with me in Jerusalem.
34
H1271
And Barzillai
H559 [H8799]
said
H4428
to the king,
H3117
How long
H8141 H2416
have I to live,
H5927 [H8799]
that I should go up
H4428
with the king
H3389
to Jerusalem?
35
H3117
I am this day
H8084
eighty
H8141
years
H1121
old:
H3045 [H8799]
and can I discern
H2896
between good
H7451
and evil?
H5650
can thy servant
H2938 [H8799]
taste
H834
what
H398 [H8799]
I eat
H834
or what
H8354 [H8799]
I drink?
H8085 [H8799]
can I hear
H6963
any more the voice
H7891 [H8802]
of singing men
H7891 [H8802]
and singing women?
H5650
why then should thy servant
H4853
be yet a burden
H113
to my lord
H4428
the king?
36
H5650
Thy servant
H5674 0
will go
H4592
a little way
H5674 [H8799]
over
H3383
Jordan
H4428
with the king:
H4428
and why should the king
H1580 [H8799]
recompense
H1578
me with such a reward?
37
H5650
Let thy servant,
H7725 [H8799]
I pray thee, return again,
H4191 [H8799]
that I may die
H5892
in my own city,
H6913
and be buried by the burying-place
H1
of my father
H517
and of my mother.
H5650
But behold thy servant
H3643
Chimham;
H5674 [H8799]
let him go over
H113
with my lord
H4428
the king;
H6213 [H8798]
and do
H2896 H5869
to him what shall seem good to thee.
38
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
answered,
H3643
Chimham
H5674 [H8799]
shall go
H6213 [H8799]
over with me, and I will do
H2896 H5869
to him that which shall seem good
H977 [H8799]
to thee: and whatever thou shalt require
H6213 [H8799]
of me, that will I do for thee.
39
H5971
And all the people
H5674 [H8799]
went over
H3383
Jordan.
H4428
And when the king
H5674 [H8804]
had come over,
H4428
the king
H5401 [H8799]
kissed
H1271
Barzillai,
H1288 [H8762]
and blessed
H7725 [H8799]
him; and he returned
H4725
to his own place.
40
H4428
Then the king
H5674 [H8799]
went on
H1537
to Gilgal,
H3643
and Chimham
H5674 [H8804]
went on
H5971
with him: and all the people
H3063
of Judah
H5674 H5674 [H8689]
conducted
H4428
the king,
H2677
and also half
H5971
the people
H3478
of Israel.
41
H376
And, behold, all the men
H3478
of Israel
H935 [H8802]
came
H4428
to the king,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H4428
to him,
H251
Why have our brethren
H376
the men
H3063
of Judah
H1589 [H8804]
stolen thee away,
H5674 [H8686]
and have brought
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 [H8799]
answered
H376
the men
H3478
of Israel,
H4428
Because the king
H7138
is near of kin
H2734 [H8804]
to us: why then are ye angry
H1697
for this matter?
H398 [H8804]
have we eaten
H398 [H8800]
at all
H4428
at the king's
H5375 [H8765]
cost? or hath he given
H5379
us any gift?
43
H376
And the men
H3478
of Israel
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H376
the men
H3063
of Judah,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H6235
We have ten
H3027
parts
H4428
in the king,
H589
and we
H1732
have also more right in David
H7043 [H8689]
than ye: why then did ye despise
H1697
us, that our advice
H7223
should not be first
H7725 [H8687]
had in bringing back
H4428
our king?
H1697
And the words
H376
of the men
H3063
of Judah
H7185 [H8799]
were fiercer
H1697
than the words
H376
of the men
H3478
of Israel.
