2 SAMUEL 14 2 And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence A wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be A mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as A woman that had A long time mourned FOR the dead: 5 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed A widow woman, and mine husband is dead. 7 And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, FOR the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth. 13 And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such A thing against the people of God? FOR the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished. 14 FOR we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him. 16 FOR the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. 17 Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: FOR as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee. 19 And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: FOR thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid: 25 But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom FOR his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. 26 And when he polled his head, (FOR it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight. 27 And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was A woman of A fair countenance. 29 Therefore Absalom sent FOR Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come. 32 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good FOR me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me. 33 So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called FOR Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom. 2 SAMUEL 15 2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had A controversy came to the king FOR judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel. 6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king FOR judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. 8 FOR thy servant vowed A vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD. 12 And Absalom sent FOR Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; FOR the people increased continually with Absalom. 13 And there came A messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom. 14 And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; FOR we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in A place that was far off. 19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: FOR thou art A stranger, and also an exile. 23 And all the country wept with A loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness. 27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou A seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 33 Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be A burden unto me: 34 But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou FOR me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel. 2 SAMUEL 16 1 And when David was A little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with A couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and A bottle of wine. 2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be FOR the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit FOR the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink. 3 And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: FOR he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. 5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out A man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came. 8 The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art A bloody man. 11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; FOR the LORD hath bidden him. 12 It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good FOR his cursing this day. 22 So they spread Absalom A tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel. 23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if A man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom. 2 SAMUEL 17 8 FOR, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as A bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is A man of war, and will not lodge with the people. 9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is A slaughter among the people that follow Absalom. 10 And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of A lion, shall utterly melt: FOR all Israel knoweth that thy father is A mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men. 11 Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea FOR multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person. 13 Moreover, if he be gotten into A city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there. 14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. FOR the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom. 17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by Enrogel; FOR they might not be seen to come into the city: and A wench went and told them; and they went and told king David. 18 Nevertheless A lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to A man's house in Bahurim, which had A well in his court; whither they went down. 19 And the woman took and spread A covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known. 21 And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: FOR thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you. 25 And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was A man's son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother. 29 And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, FOR David, and FOR the people that were with him, to eat: FOR they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness. 2 SAMUEL 18 2 And David sent forth A third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and A third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and A third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also. 3 But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: FOR if we flee away, they will not care FOR us; neither if half of us die, will they care FOR us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city. 5 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently FOR my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom. 7 Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there A great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men. 8 FOR the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured. 9 And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon A mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of A great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away. 10 And A certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak. 11 And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and A girdle. 12 And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive A thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: FOR in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom. 13 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: FOR there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me. 16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: FOR Joab held back the people. 17 And they took Absalom, and cast him into A great pit in the wood, and laid A very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent. 18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up FOR himself A pillar, which is in the king's dale: FOR he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place. 24 And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold A man running alone. 27 And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is A good man, and cometh with good tidings. 29 And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw A great tumult, but I knew not what it was. 31 And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: FOR the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee. 33 And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died FOR thee, O Absalom, my son, my son! --MORE-- |
