2 Samuel 1:1--8:18

Now it came to pass after
<0310>
the death
<04194>
of Saul
<07586>_,
when David
<01732>
was returned
<07725> (8804)
from the slaughter
<05221> (8687)
of the Amalekites
<06002>_,
and David
<01732>
had abode
<03427> (8799)
two
<08147>
days
<03117>
in Ziklag
<06860>_;
It came even to pass on the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_,
that, behold, a man
<0376>
came
<0935> (8802)
out of the camp
<04264>
from Saul
<07586>
with his clothes
<0899>
rent
<07167> (8803)_,
and earth
<0127>
upon his head
<07218>_:
and [so] it was, when he came
<0935> (8800)
to David
<01732>_,
that he fell
<05307> (8799)
to the earth
<0776>_,
and did obeisance
<07812> (8691)_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, From whence comest
<0935> (8799)
thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Out of the camp
<04264>
of Israel
<03478>
am I escaped
<04422> (8738)_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, How
<04100>
went the matter
<01697>_?
I pray thee, tell
<05046> (8685)
me. And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
That the people
<05971>
are fled
<05127> (8804)
from the battle
<04421>_,
and many
<07235> (8687)
of the people
<05971>
also are fallen
<05307> (8804)
and dead
<04191> (8799)_;
and Saul
<07586>
and Jonathan
<03083>
his son
<01121>
are dead
<04191> (8804)
also. {How...: Heb. What was, etc}
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the young man
<05288>
that told
<05046> (8688)
him, How knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou that Saul
<07586>
and Jonathan
<03083>
his son
<01121>
be dead
<04191> (8804)_?
And the young man
<05288>
that told
<05046> (8688)
him said
<0559> (8799)_,
As I happened
<07136> (8738)
by chance
<07122> (8736)
upon mount
<02022>
Gilboa
<01533>_,
behold, Saul
<07586>
leaned
<08172> (8737)
upon his spear
<02595>_;
and, lo, the chariots
<07393>
and horsemen
<01167> <06571>
followed hard
<01692> (8689)
after him.
And when he looked
<06437> (8799)
behind
<0310>
him, he saw
<07200> (8799)
me, and called
<07121> (8799)
unto me. And I answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I. {Here...: Heb. Behold me}
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Who [art] thou? And I answered
<0559> (8799)
him, I [am] an Amalekite
<06003>_.
He said
<0559> (8799)
unto me again, Stand
<05975> (8798)_,
I pray thee, upon me, and slay
<04191> (8786)
me: for anguish
<07661>
is come
<0270> (8804)
upon me, because my life
<05315>
[is] yet whole in me. {anguish...: or, my coat of mail (or, my embroidered coat) hindereth me, that my, etc}
So I stood
<05975> (8799)
upon him, and slew
<04191> (8787)
him, because I was sure
<03045> (8804)
that he could not live
<02421> (8799)
after
<0310>
that he was fallen
<05307> (8800)_:
and I took
<03947> (8799)
the crown
<05145>
that [was] upon his head
<07218>_,
and the bracelet
<0685>
that [was] on his arm
<02220>_,
and have brought
<0935> (8686)
them hither unto my lord
<0113>_.
Then David
<01732>
took hold
<02388> (8686)
on his clothes
<0899>_,
and rent
<07167> (8799)
them; and likewise all the men
<0582>
that [were] with him:
And they mourned
<05594> (8799)_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_,
and fasted
<06684> (8799)
until even
<06153>_,
for Saul
<07586>_,
and for Jonathan
<03083>
his son
<01121>_,
and for the people
<05971>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and for the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_;
because they were fallen
<05307> (8804)
by the sword
<02719>_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the young man
<05288>
that told
<05046> (8688)
him, Whence [art] thou? And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] the son
<01121>
of a stranger
<0376> <01616>_,
an Amalekite
<06003>_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, How wast thou not afraid
<03372> (8804)
to stretch forth
<07971> (8800)
thine hand
<03027>
to destroy
<07843> (8763)
the LORD'S
<03068>
anointed
<04899>_?
And David
<01732>
called
<07121> (8799)
one
<0259>
of the young men
<05288>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go near
<05066> (8798)_,
[and] fall
<06293> (8798)
upon him. And he smote
<05221> (8686)
him that he died
<04191> (8799)_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thy blood
<01818>
[be] upon thy head
<07218>_;
for thy mouth
<06310>
hath testified
<06030> (8804)
against thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I have slain
<04191> (8790)
the LORD'S
<03068>
anointed
<04899>_.
And David
<01732>
lamented
<06969> (8787)
with this lamentation
<07015>
over Saul
<07586>
and over Jonathan
<03083>
his son
<01121>_:
(Also he bade
<0559> (8799)
them teach
<03925> (8763)
the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
[the use of] the bow
<07198>_:
behold, [it is] written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of Jasher
<03477>.)
{of Jasher: or, of the upright}
The beauty
<06643>
of Israel
<03478>
is slain
<02491>
upon thy high places
<01116>_:
how are the mighty
<01368>
fallen
<05307> (8804)_!
Tell
<05046> (8686)
[it] not in Gath
<01661>_,
publish
<01319> (8762)
[it] not in the streets
<02351>
of Askelon
<0831>_;
lest the daughters
<01323>
of the Philistines
<06430>
rejoice
<08055> (8799)_,
lest the daughters
<01323>
of the uncircumcised
<06189>
triumph
<05937> (8799)_.
Ye mountains
<02022>
of Gilboa
<01533>_,
[let there be] no dew
<02919>_,
neither [let there be] rain
<04306>_,
upon you, nor fields
<07704>
of offerings
<08641>_:
for there the shield
<04043>
of the mighty
<01368>
is vilely cast away
<01602> (8738)_,
the shield
<04043>
of Saul
<07586>_,
[as though he had] not [been] anointed
<04899>
with oil
<08081>_.
From the blood
<01818>
of the slain
<02491>_,
from the fat
<02459>
of the mighty
<01368>_,
the bow
<07198>
of Jonathan
<03083>
turned
<07734> (8738)
not back
<0268>_,
and the sword
<02719>
of Saul
<07586>
returned
<07725> (8799)
not empty
<07387>_.
Saul
<07586>
and Jonathan
<03083>
[were] lovely
<0157> (8737)
and pleasant
<05273>
in their lives
<02416>_,
and in their death
<04194>
they were not divided
<06504> (8738)_:
they were swifter
<07043> (8804)
than eagles
<05404>_,
they were stronger
<01396> (8804)
than lions
<0738>_.
{pleasant: or, sweet}
Ye daughters
<01323>
of Israel
<03478>_,
weep over
<01058> (8798)
Saul
<07586>_,
who clothed
<03847> (8688)
you in scarlet
<08144>_,
with [other] delights
<05730>_,
who put
<05927> (8688)
on ornaments
<05716>
of gold
<02091>
upon your apparel
<03830>_.
How are the mighty
<01368>
fallen
<05307> (8804)
in the midst
<08432>
of the battle
<04421>_!
O Jonathan
<03083>_,
[thou wast] slain
<02491>
in thine high places
<01116>_.
I am distressed
<06887> (8804)
for thee, my brother
<0251>
Jonathan
<03083>_:
very
<03966>
pleasant
<05276> (8804)
hast thou been unto me: thy love
<0160>
to me was wonderful
<06381> (8738)_,
passing the love
<0160>
of women
<0802>_.
How are the mighty
<01368>
fallen
<05307> (8804)_,
and the weapons
<03627>
of war
<04421>
perished
<06> (8799)_!
And it came to pass after this
<0310>_,
that David
<01732>
enquired
<07592> (8799)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Shall I go up
<05927> (8799)
into any
<0259>
of the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_?
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Go up
<05927> (8798)_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Whither shall I go up
<05927> (8799)_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Unto Hebron
<02275>_.
So David
<01732>
went up
<05927> (8799)
thither, and his two
<08147>
wives
<0802>
also, Ahinoam
<0293>
the Jezreelitess
<03159>_,
and Abigail
<026>
Nabal's
<05037>
wife
<0802>
the Carmelite
<03761>_.
And his men
<0582>
that [were] with him did David
<01732>
bring up
<05927> (8689)_,
every man
<0376>
with his household
<01004>_:
and they dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the cities
<05892>
of Hebron
<02275>_.
And the men
<0582>
of Judah
<03063>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
and there they anointed
<04886> (8799)
David
<01732>
king
<04428>
over the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_.
And they told
<05046> (8686)
David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[That] the men
<0582>
of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>
[were they] that buried
<06912> (8804)
Saul
<07586>_.
And David
<01732>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
unto the men
<0582>
of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] ye of the LORD
<03068>_,
that ye have shewed
<06213> (8804)
this kindness
<02617>
unto your lord
<0113>_,
[even] unto Saul
<07586>_,
and have buried
<06912> (8799)
him.
And now the LORD
<03068>
shew
<06213> (8799)
kindness
<02617>
and truth
<0571>
unto you: and I also will requite
<06213> (8799)
you this kindness
<02896>_,
because ye have done
<06213> (8804)
this thing
<01697>_.
Therefore now let your hands
<03027>
be strengthened
<02388> (8799)_,
and be ye valiant
<01121> <02428>_:
for your master
<0113>
Saul
<07586>
is dead
<04191> (8804)_,
and also the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
have anointed
<04886> (8804)
me king
<04428>
over them. {be ye...: Heb. be ye the sons of valour}
But Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_,
captain
<08269>
of Saul's
<07586>
host
<06635>_,
took
<03947> (8804)
Ishbosheth
<0378>
the son
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>_,
and brought him over
<05674> (8686)
to Mahanaim
<04266>_;
{Saul's host: Heb. the host which was Saul's} {Ishbosheth: or, Eshbaal}
And made him king
<04427> (8686)
over Gilead
<01568>_,
and over the Ashurites
<0805>_,
and over Jezreel
<03157>_,
and over Ephraim
<0669>_,
and over Benjamin
<01144>_,
and over all Israel
<03478>_.
Ishbosheth
<0378>
Saul's
<07586>
son
<01121>
[was] forty
<0705>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)
over Israel
<03478>_,
and reigned
<04427> (8804)
two
<08147>
years
<08141>_.
But the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
followed
<0310>
David
<01732>_.
And the time
<04557> <03117>
that David
<01732>
was king
<04428>
in Hebron
<02275>
over the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
was seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
and six
<08337>
months
<02320>_.
{time: Heb. number of days}
And Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_,
and the servants
<05650>
of Ishbosheth
<0378>
the son
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>_,
went out
<03318> (8799)
from Mahanaim
<04266>
to Gibeon
<01391>_.
And Joab
<03097>
the son
<01121>
of Zeruiah
<06870>_,
and the servants
<05650>
of David
<01732>_,
went out
<03318> (8804)_,
and met
<06298> (8799)
together
<03162>
by the pool
<01295>
of Gibeon
<01391>_:
and they sat down
<03427> (8799)_,
the one on the one side of the pool
<01295>_,
and the other on the other side of the pool
<01295>_.
{together: Heb. them together}
And Abner
<074>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Joab
<03097>_,
Let the young men
<05288>
now arise
<06965> (8799)_,
and play
<07832> (8762)
before
<06440>
us. And Joab
<03097>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let them arise
<06965> (8799)_.
Then there arose
<06965> (8799)
and went over
<05674> (8799)
by number
<04557>
twelve
<08147> <06240>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
which [pertained] to Ishbosheth
<0378>
the son
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>_,
and twelve
<08147> <06240>
of the servants
<05650>
of David
<01732>_.
And they caught
<02388> (8686)
every one
<0376>
his fellow
<07453>
by the head
<07218>_,
and [thrust] his sword
<02719>
in his fellow's
<07453>
side
<06654>_;
so they fell down
<05307> (8799)
together
<03162>_:
wherefore that place
<04725>
was called
<07121> (8799)
Helkathhazzurim
<02521>_,
which [is] in Gibeon
<01391>_.
{Helkathhazzurim: that is, The field of strong men}
And there was a very
<03966>
sore
<07186>
battle
<04421>
that day
<03117>_;
and Abner
<074>
was beaten
<05062> (8735)_,
and the men
<0582>
of Israel
<03478>_,
before
<06440>
the servants
<05650>
of David
<01732>_.
And there were three
<07969>
sons
<01121>
of Zeruiah
<06870>
there, Joab
<03097>_,
and Abishai
<052>_,
and Asahel
<06214>_:
and Asahel
<06214>
[was as] light
<07031>
of foot
<07272>
as a
<0259>
wild
<07704>
roe
<06643>_.
{of foot: Heb. of his feet} {as a wild...: Heb. as one of the roes that is in the field}
And Asahel
<06214>
pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
Abner
<074>_;
and in going
<03212> (8800)
he turned
<05186> (8804)
not to the right hand
<03225>
nor to the left
<08040>
from following
<0310>
Abner
<074>_.
{from...: Heb. from after Abner}
Then Abner
<074>
looked
<06437> (8799)
behind
<0310>
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Art] thou Asahel
<06214>_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am].
And Abner
<074>
said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Turn thee aside
<05186> (8798)
to thy right hand
<03225>
or to thy left
<08040>_,
and lay thee hold
<0270> (8798)
on one
<0259>
of the young men
<05288>_,
and take
<03947> (8798)
thee his armour
<02488>_.
But Asahel
<06214>
would
<014> (8804)
not turn aside
<05493> (8800)
from following
<0310>
of him. {armour: or, spoil}
And Abner
<074>
said
<0559> (8800)
again
<03254> (8686)
to Asahel
<06214>_,
Turn thee aside
<05493> (8798)
from following
<0310>
me: wherefore should I smite
<05221> (8686)
thee to the ground
<0776>_?
how then should I hold up
<05375> (8799)
my face
<06440>
to Joab
<03097>
thy brother
<0251>_?
Howbeit he refused
<03985> (8762)
to turn aside
<05493> (8800)_:
wherefore Abner
<074>
with the hinder end
<0310>
of the spear
<02595>
smote
<05221> (8686)
him under
<0413>
the fifth
<02570>
[rib], that the spear
<02595>
came out
<03318> (8799)
behind
<0310>
him; and he fell down
<05307> (8799)
there, and died
<04191> (8799)
in the same place
<08478>_:
and it came to pass, [that] as many as came
<0935> (8802)
to the place
<04725>
where Asahel
<06214>
fell down
<05307> (8804)
and died
<04191> (8799)
stood still
<05975> (8799)_.
Joab
<03097>
also and Abishai
<052>
pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
Abner
<074>_:
and the sun
<08121>
went down
<0935> (8804)
when they were come
<0935> (8804)
to the hill
<01389>
of Ammah
<0522>_,
that [lieth] before
<06440>
Giah
<01520>
by the way
<01870>
of the wilderness
<04057>
of Gibeon
<01391>_.
And the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
gathered themselves together
<06908> (8691)
after
<0310>
Abner
<074>_,
and became one
<0259>
troop
<092>_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
on the top
<07218>
of an hill
<01389>_.
Then Abner
<074>
called
<07121> (8799)
to Joab
<03097>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Shall the sword
<02719>
devour
<0398> (8799)
for ever
<05331>_?
knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou not that it will be bitterness
<04751>
in the latter end
<0314>_?
how long shall it be then, ere thou bid
<0559> (8799)
the people
<05971>
return
<07725> (8800)
from following
<0310>
their brethren
<0251>_?
And Joab
<03097>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] God
<0430>
liveth
<02416>_,
unless
<03884>
thou hadst spoken
<01696> (8765)_,
surely then in the morning
<01242>
the people
<05971>
had gone up
<05927> (8738)
every one
<0376>
from following
<0310>
his brother
<0251>_.
{in the...: Heb. from the morning} {gone...: or, gone away}
So Joab
<03097>
blew
<08628> (8799)
a trumpet
<07782>_,
and all the people
<05971>
stood still
<05975> (8799)_,
and pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
Israel
<03478>
no more, neither fought
<03898> (8736)
they any more
<03254> (8804)_.
And Abner
<074>
and his men
<0582>
walked
<01980> (8804)
all that night
<03915>
through the plain
<06160>_,
and passed over
<05674> (8799)
Jordan
<03383>_,
and went through
<03212> (8799)
all Bithron
<01338>_,
and they came
<0935> (8799)
to Mahanaim
<04266>_.
And Joab
<03097>
returned
<07725> (8804)
from following
<0310>
Abner
<074>_:
and when he had gathered
<06908> (0)
all the people
<05971>
together
<06908> (8799)_,
there lacked
<06485> (8735)
of David's
<01732>
servants
<05650>
nineteen
<08672> <06240>
men
<0376>
and Asahel
<06214>_.
But the servants
<05650>
of David
<01732>
had smitten
<05221> (8689)
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
and of Abner's
<074>
men
<0582>_,
[so that] three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
and threescore
<08346>
men
<0376>
died
<04191> (8804)_.
And they took up
<05375> (8799)
Asahel
<06214>_,
and buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the sepulchre
<06913>
of his father
<01>_,
which [was in] Bethlehem
<01035>_.
And Joab
<03097>
and his men
<0582>
went
<03212> (8799)
all night
<03915>_,
and they came to Hebron
<02275>
at break of day
<0215> (8735)_.
Now there was long
<0752>
war
<04421>
between the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>
and the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_:
but David
<01732>
waxed
<01980> (8802)
stronger
<02390>
and stronger
<02390>_,
and the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>
waxed
<01980> (8802)
weaker
<01800>
and weaker
<01800>_.
And unto David
<01732>
were sons
<01121>
born
<03205> (8735) (8675) <03205> (8795)
in Hebron
<02275>_:
and his firstborn
<01060>
was Amnon
<0550>_,
of Ahinoam
<0293>
the Jezreelitess
<03159>_;
And his second
<04932>_,
Chileab
<03609>_,
of Abigail
<026>
the wife
<0802>
of Nabal
<05037>
the Carmelite
<03761>_;
and the third
<07992>_,
Absalom
<053>
the son
<01121>
of Maacah
<04601>
the daughter
<01323>
of Talmai
<08526>
king
<04428>
of Geshur
<01650>_;
{Chileab: or, Daniel}
And the fourth
<07243>_,
Adonijah
<0138>
the son
<01121>
of Haggith
<02294>_;
and the fifth
<02549>_,
Shephatiah
<08203>
the son
<01121>
of Abital
<037>_;
And the sixth
<08345>_,
Ithream
<03507>_,
by Eglah
<05698>
David's
<01732>
wife
<0802>_.
These were born
<03205> (8795)
to David
<01732>
in Hebron
<02275>_.
And it came to pass, while there was war
<04421>
between the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>
and the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_,
that Abner
<074>
made himself strong
<02388> (8693)
for the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>_.
And Saul
<07586>
had a concubine
<06370>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Rizpah
<07532>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Aiah
<0345>_:
and [Ishbosheth] said
<0559> (8799)
to Abner
<074>_,
Wherefore hast thou gone in
<0935> (8804)
unto my father's
<01>
concubine
<06370>_?
Then was Abner
<074>
very
<03966>
wroth
<02734> (8799)
for the words
<01697>
of Ishbosheth
<0378>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Am] I a dog's
<03611>
head
<07218>_,
which against Judah
<03063>
do shew
<06213> (8799)
kindness
<02617>
this day
<03117>
unto the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>
thy father
<01>_,
to his brethren
<0251>_,
and to his friends
<04828>_,
and have not delivered
<04672> (8689)
thee into the hand
<03027>
of David
<01732>_,
that thou chargest
<06485> (8799)
me to day
<03117>
with a fault
<05771>
concerning this woman
<0802>_?
So do
<06213> (8799)
God
<0430>
to Abner
<074>_,
and more also
<03254> (8686)_,
except, as the LORD
<03068>
hath sworn
<07650> (8738)
to David
<01732>_,
even so I do
<06213> (8799)
to him;
To translate
<05674> (8687)
the kingdom
<04467>
from the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>_,
and to set up
<06965> (8687)
the throne
<03678>
of David
<01732>
over Israel
<03478>
and over Judah
<03063>_,
from Dan
<01835>
even to Beersheba
<0884>_.
And he could
<03201> (8804)
not answer
<07725> (8687)
Abner
<074>
a word
<01697>
again, because he feared
<03372> (8800)
him.
And Abner
<074>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
to David
<01732>
on his behalf, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Whose [is] the land
<0776>_?
saying
<0559> (8800)
[also], Make
<03772> (8798)
thy league
<01285>
with me, and, behold, my hand
<03027>
[shall be] with thee, to bring about
<05437> (8687)
all Israel
<03478>
unto thee.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Well
<02896>_;
I will make
<03772> (8799)
a league
<01285>
with thee: but one
<0259>
thing
<01697>
I require
<07592> (8802)
of thee, that is
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou shalt not see
<07200> (8799)
my face
<06440>_,
except thou first
<06440>
bring
<0935> (8687)
Michal
<04324>
Saul's
<07586>
daughter
<01323>_,
when thou comest
<0935> (8800)
to see
<07200> (8800)
my face
<06440>_.
{that is: Heb. saying}
And David
<01732>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
to Ishbosheth
<0378>
Saul's
<07586>
son
<01121>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Deliver
<05414> (8798)
[me] my wife
<0802>
Michal
<04324>_,
which I espoused
<0781> (8765)
to me for an hundred
<03967>
foreskins
<06190>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
And Ishbosheth
<0378>
sent
<07971> (8799)_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
her from [her] husband
<0376>_,
[even] from Phaltiel
<06409>
the son
<01121>
of Laish
<03889> (8675) <03919>_.
{Phaltiel: also called, Phalti}
And her husband
<0376>
went
<03212> (8799)
with her along weeping
<01980> (8800) <01058> (8800)
behind
<0310>
her to Bahurim
<0980>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Abner
<074>
unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,
return
<07725> (8798)_.
And he returned
<07725> (8799)_.
{along...: Heb. going and weeping}
And Abner
<074>
had communication
<01961> (8804) <01697>
with the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye sought
<01245> (8764)
for David
<01732>
in times
<08543>
past
<08032>
[to be] king
<04428>
over you: {in times...: Heb. both yesterday and the third day}
Now then do
<06213> (8798)
[it]: for the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<0559> (8804)
of David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
By the hand
<03027>
of my servant
<05650>
David
<01732>
I will save
<03467> (8687)
my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>
out of the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and out of the hand
<03027>
of all their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
And Abner
<074>
also spake
<01696> (8762)
in the ears
<0241>
of Benjamin
<01144>_:
and Abner
<074>
went
<03212> (8799)
also to speak
<01696> (8763)
in the ears
<0241>
of David
<01732>
in Hebron
<02275>
all that seemed
<05869>
good
<02896>
to Israel
<03478>_,
and that seemed good
<05869>
to the whole house
<01004>
of Benjamin
<01144>_.
So Abner
<074>
came
<0935> (8799)
to David
<01732>
to Hebron
<02275>_,
and twenty
<06242>
men
<0582>
with him. And David
<01732>
made
<06213> (8799)
Abner
<074>
and the men
<0582>
that [were] with him a feast
<04960>_.
And Abner
<074>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>_,
I will arise
<06965> (8799)
and go
<03212> (8799)_,
and will gather
<06908> (8799)
all Israel
<03478>
unto my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>_,
that they may make
<03772> (8799)
a league
<01285>
with thee, and that thou mayest reign
<04427> (8804)
over all that thine heart
<05315>
desireth
<0183> (8762)_.
And David
<01732>
sent
<07971> (0)
Abner
<074>
away
<07971> (8762)_;
and he went
<03212> (8799)
in peace
<07965>_.
And, behold, the servants
<05650>
of David
<01732>
and Joab
<03097>
came
<0935> (8802)
from [pursuing] a troop
<01416>_,
and brought in
<0935> (8689)
a great
<07227>
spoil
<07998>
with them: but Abner
<074>
[was] not with David
<01732>
in Hebron
<02275>_;
for he had sent him away
<07971> (8765)_,
and he was gone
<03212> (8799)
in peace
<07965>_.
When Joab
<03097>
and all the host
<06635>
that [was] with him were come
<0935> (8804)_,
they told
<05046> (8686)
Joab
<03097>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>
came
<0935> (8804)
to the king
<04428>_,
and he hath sent him away
<07971> (8762)_,
and he is gone
<03212> (8799)
in peace
<07965>_.
Then Joab
<03097>
came
<0935> (8799)
to the king
<04428>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)_?
behold, Abner
<074>
came
<0935> (8802)
unto thee; why [is] it [that] thou hast sent him away
<07971> (8765)_,
and he is quite
<01980> (8800)
gone
<03212> (8799)_?
Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_,
that he came
<0935> (8804)
to deceive
<06601> (8763)
thee, and to know
<03045> (8800)
thy going out
<04161>
and thy coming in
<04126> (8675) <03996>_,
and to know
<03045> (8800)
all that thou doest
<06213> (8802)_.
And when Joab
<03097>
was come out
<03318> (8799)
from David
<01732>_,
he sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
after
<0310>
Abner
<074>_,
which brought him again
<07725> (8686)
from the well
<0953>
of Sirah
<05626>_:
but David
<01732>
knew
<03045> (8804)
[it] not.
And when Abner
<074>
was returned
<07725> (8799)
to Hebron
<02275>_,
Joab
<03097>
took him aside
<05186> (8686)
in
<0413> <08432>
the gate
<08179>
to speak
<01696> (8763)
with him quietly
<07987>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
him there under the fifth
<02570>
[rib], that he died
<04191> (8799)_,
for the blood
<01818>
of Asahel
<06214>
his brother
<0251>_.
{quietly: or, peaceably}
And afterward
<0310>
when David
<01732>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[it], he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I and my kingdom
<04467>
[are] guiltless
<05355>
before the LORD
<03068>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>
from the blood
<01818>
of Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_:
{blood: Heb. bloods}
Let it rest
<02342> (8799)
on the head
<07218>
of Joab
<03097>_,
and on all his father's
<01>
house
<01004>_;
and let there not fail
<03772> (8735)
from the house
<01004>
of Joab
<03097>
one that hath an issue
<02100> (8802)_,
or that is a leper
<06879> (8794)_,
or that leaneth
<02388> (8688)
on a staff
<06418>_,
or that falleth
<05307> (8802)
on the sword
<02719>_,
or that lacketh
<02638>
bread
<03899>_.
{fail: Heb. be cut off}
So Joab
<03097>
and Abishai
<052>
his brother
<0251>
slew
<02026> (8804)
Abner
<074>_,
because he had slain
<04191> (8689)
their brother
<0251>
Asahel
<06214>
at Gibeon
<01391>
in the battle
<04421>_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Joab
<03097>_,
and to all the people
<05971>
that [were] with him, Rend
<07167> (8798)
your clothes
<0899>_,
and gird
<02296> (8798)
you with sackcloth
<08242>_,
and mourn
<05594> (8798)
before
<06440>
Abner
<074>_.
And king
<04428>
David
<01732>
[himself] followed
<01980> (8802) <0310>
the bier
<04296>_.
{bier: Heb. bed}
And they buried
<06912> (8799)
Abner
<074>
in Hebron
<02275>_:
and the king
<04428>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his voice
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)
at the grave
<06913>
of Abner
<074>_;
and all the people
<05971>
wept
<01058> (8799)_.
And the king
<04428>
lamented
<06969> (8787)
over Abner
<074>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Died
<04191> (8799)
Abner
<074>
as a fool
<05036>
dieth
<04194>_?
Thy hands
<03027>
[were] not bound
<0631> (8803)_,
nor thy feet
<07272>
put
<05066> (8717)
into fetters
<05178>_:
as a man falleth
<05307> (8800)
before
<06440>
wicked
<05766>
men
<01121>_,
[so] fellest
<05307> (8804)
thou. And all the people
<05971>
wept
<01058> (8800)
again
<03254> (8686)
over him. {wicked...: Heb. children of iniquity}
And when all
<03605>
the people
<05971>
came
<0935> (8799)
to cause
<01262> (0)
David
<01732>
to eat
<01262> (8687)
meat
<03899>
while it was yet
<05750>
day
<03117>_,
David
<01732>
sware
<07650> (8735)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
So do
<06213> (8799)
God
<0430>
to me, and more also
<03254> (8686)_,
if I taste
<02938> (8799)
bread
<03899>_,
or ought
<03972>
else, till
<06440>
the sun
<08121>
be down
<0935> (8800)_.
And all the people
<05971>
took notice
<05234> (8689)
[of it], and it pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>
them: as whatsoever the king
<04428>
did
<06213> (8804)
pleased
<05869> <02896>
all the people
<05971>_.
{pleased them: Heb. was good in their eyes}
For all the people
<05971>
and all Israel
<03478>
understood
<03045> (8799)
that day
<03117>
that it was not of the king
<04428>
to slay
<04191> (8687)
Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_.
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his servants
<05650>_,
Know
<03045> (8799)
ye not that there is a prince
<08269>
and a great man
<01419>
fallen
<05307> (8804)
this day
<03117>
in Israel
<03478>_?
And I [am] this day
<03117>
weak
<07390>_,
though anointed
<04886> (8803)
king
<04428>_;
and these men
<0582>
the sons
<01121>
of Zeruiah
<06870>
[be] too hard
<07186>
for me: the LORD
<03068>
shall reward
<07999> (8762)
the doer of evil
<06213> (8802)
according to his wickedness
<07451>_.
{weak: Heb. tender}
And when Saul's
<07586>
son
<01121>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that Abner
<074>
was dead
<04191> (8804)
in Hebron
<02275>_,
his hands
<03027>
were feeble
<07503> (8799)_,
and all the Israelites
<03478>
were troubled
<0926> (8738)_.
And Saul's
<07586>
son
<01121>
had
<01961> (8804)
two
<08147>
men
<0582>
[that were] captains
<08269>
of bands
<01416>_:
the name
<08034>
of the one
<0259>
[was] Baanah
<01196>_,
and the name
<08034>
of the other
<08145>
Rechab
<07394>_,
the sons
<01121>
of Rimmon
<07417>
a Beerothite
<0886>_,
of the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>_:
(for Beeroth
<0881>
also was reckoned
<02803> (8735)
to Benjamin
<01144>_:
{other: Heb. second}
And the Beerothites
<0886>
fled
<01272> (8799)
to Gittaim
<01664>_,
and were sojourners
<01481> (8802)
there until this day
<03117>.)
And Jonathan
<03083>_,
Saul's
<07586>
son
<01121>_,
had a son
<01121>
[that was] lame
<05223>
of [his] feet
<07272>_.
He was five
<02568>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when the tidings
<08052>
came
<0935> (8800)
of Saul
<07586>
and Jonathan
<03083>
out of Jezreel
<03157>_,
and his nurse
<0539> (8802)
took him up
<05375> (8799)_,
and fled
<05127> (8799)_:
and it came to pass, as she made haste
<02648> (8800)
to flee
<05127> (8800)_,
that he fell
<05307> (8799)_,
and became lame
<06452> (8735)_.
And his name
<08034>
[was] Mephibosheth
<04648>_.
{Mephibosheth: or, Meribbaal}
And the sons
<01121>
of Rimmon
<07417>
the Beerothite
<0886>_,
Rechab
<07394>
and Baanah
<01196>_,
went
<03212> (8799)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
about the heat
<02527>
of the day
<03117>
to the house
<01004>
of Ishbosheth
<0378>_,
who lay
<07901> (8802)
on a bed
<04904>
at noon
<06672>_.
And they came thither
<0935> (8804)
into the midst
<08432>
of the house
<01004>_,
[as though] they would have fetched
<03947> (8802)
wheat
<02406>_;
and they smote
<05221> (8686)
him under the fifth
<02570>
[rib]: and Rechab
<07394>
and Baanah
<01196>
his brother
<0251>
escaped
<04422> (8738)_.
For when they came
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>_,
he lay
<07901> (8802)
on his bed
<04296>
in his bedchamber
<02315> <04904>_,
and they smote
<05221> (8686)
him, and slew
<04191> (8686)
him, and beheaded
<05493> (8686)
him, and took
<03947> (8799)
his head
<07218>_,
and gat them away
<03212> (8799)
through
<01870>
the plain
<06160>
all night
<03915>_.
And they brought
<0935> (8686)
the head
<07218>
of Ishbosheth
<0378>
unto David
<01732>
to Hebron
<02275>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to the king
<04428>_,
Behold the head
<07218>
of Ishbosheth
<0378>
the son
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>
thine enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
which sought
<01245> (8765)
thy life
<05315>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
hath
<05414> (8799)
avenged
<05360>
my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>
this day
<03117>
of Saul
<07586>_,
and of his seed
<02233>_.
And David
<01732>
answered
<06030> (8799)
Rechab
<07394>
and Baanah
<01196>
his brother
<0251>_,
the sons
<01121>
of Rimmon
<07417>
the Beerothite
<0886>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, [As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
who hath redeemed
<06299> (8804)
my soul
<05315>
out of all adversity
<06869>_,
When one told
<05046> (8688)
me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, Saul
<07586>
is dead
<04191> (8804)_,
thinking to have brought
<05869>
good tidings
<01319> (8764)_,
I took hold
<0270> (8799)
of him, and slew
<02026> (8799)
him in Ziklag
<06860>_,
who [thought] that I would have given
<05414> (8800)
him a reward for his tidings
<01309>_:
{thinking...: Heb. he was in his own eyes as a bringer, etc} {who...: or, which was the reward I gave him for his tidings}
How much more, when wicked
<07563>
men
<0582>
have slain
<02026> (8804)
a righteous
<06662>
person
<0376>
in his own house
<01004>
upon his bed
<04904>_?
shall I not therefore now require
<01245> (8762)
his blood
<01818>
of your hand
<03027>_,
and take you away
<01197> (8765)
from the earth
<0776>_?
And David
<01732>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
his young men
<05288>_,
and they slew
<02026> (8799)
them, and cut off
<07112> (8762)
their hands
<03027>
and their feet
<07272>_,
and hanged [them] up
<08518> (8799)
over the pool
<01295>
in Hebron
<02275>_.
But they took
<03947> (8804)
the head
<07218>
of Ishbosheth
<0378>_,
and buried
<06912> (8799)
[it] in the sepulchre
<06913>
of Abner
<074>
in Hebron
<02275>_.
Then came
<0935> (8799)
all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
to David
<01732>
unto Hebron
<02275>_,
and spake
<0559> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, we [are] thy bone
<06106>
and thy flesh
<01320>_.
Also in time past
<0865> <08032>_,
when Saul
<07586>
was king
<04428>
over us, thou wast he that leddest out
<03318> (8688)
and broughtest in
<0935> (8688)
Israel
<03478>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
to thee, Thou shalt feed
<07462> (8799)
my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
and thou shalt be a captain
<05057>
over Israel
<03478>_.
So all the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>
came
<0935> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
to Hebron
<02275>_;
and king
<04428>
David
<01732>
made
<03772> (8799)
a league
<01285>
with them in Hebron
<02275>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_:
and they anointed
<04886> (8799)
David
<01732>
king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_.
David
<01732>
[was] thirty
<07970>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
[and] he reigned
<04427> (8804)
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_.
In Hebron
<02275>
he reigned
<04427> (8804)
over Judah
<03063>
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
and six
<08337>
months
<02320>_:
and in Jerusalem
<03389>
he reigned
<04427> (8804)
thirty
<07970>
and three
<07969>
years
<08141>
over all Israel
<03478>
and Judah
<03063>_.
And the king
<04428>
and his men
<0582>
went
<03212> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
unto the Jebusites
<02983>_,
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>_:
which spake
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Except thou take away
<05493> (8687)
the blind
<05787>
and the lame
<06455>_,
thou shalt not come in
<0935> (8799)
hither: thinking
<0559> (8800)_,
David
<01732>
cannot come in
<0935> (8799)
hither. {thinking...: or, saying David shall not, etc}
Nevertheless David
<01732>
took
<03920> (8799)
the strong hold
<04686>
of Zion
<06726>_:
the same [is] the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
on that day
<03117>_,
Whosoever getteth up
<05060> (8799)
to the gutter
<06794>_,
and smiteth
<05221> (8688)
the Jebusites
<02983>_,
and the lame
<06455>
and the blind
<05787>_,
[that are] hated
<08130> (8803)
of David's
<01732>
soul
<05315>_,
[he shall be chief and captain]. Wherefore they said
<0559> (8799)_,
The blind
<05787>
and the lame
<06455>
shall not come
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>_.
{Wherefore...: or, Because they had said, even the blind and the lame, He shall not}
So David
<01732>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the fort
<04686>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
it the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_.
And David
<01732>
built
<01129> (8799)
round about
<05439>
from Millo
<04407>
and inward
<01004>_.
And David
<01732>
went
<03212> (8799)
on
<01980> (8800)_,
and grew great
<01419>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>
[was] with him. {went...: Heb. went, going and growing}
And Hiram
<02438>
king
<04428>
of Tyre
<06865>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
to David
<01732>_,
and cedar
<0730>
trees
<06086>_,
and carpenters
<02796>_,
and masons
<07023> <068>_:
and they built
<01129> (8799)
David
<01732>
an house
<01004>_.
{masons: Heb. hewers of the stone of the wall}
And David
<01732>
perceived
<03045> (8799)
that the LORD
<03068>
had established
<03559> (8689)
him king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_,
and that he had exalted
<05375> (8765)
his kingdom
<04467>
for his people
<05971>
Israel's
<03478>
sake.
And David
<01732>
took
<03947> (8799)
[him] more concubines
<06370>
and wives
<0802>
out of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
after
<0310>
he was come
<0935> (8800)
from Hebron
<02275>_:
and there were yet sons
<01121>
and daughters
<01323>
born
<03205> (8735)
to David
<01732>_.
And these [be] the names
<08034>
of those that were born
<03209>
unto him in Jerusalem
<03389>_;
Shammua
<08051>_,
and Shobab
<07727>_,
and Nathan
<05416>_,
and Solomon
<08010>_,
Ibhar
<02984>
also, and Elishua
<0474>_,
and Nepheg
<05298>_,
and Japhia
<03309>_,
And Elishama
<0476>_,
and Eliada
<0450>_,
and Eliphalet
<0467>_.
But when the Philistines
<06430>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that they had anointed
<04886> (8804)
David
<01732>
king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_,
all the Philistines
<06430>
came up
<05927> (8799)
to seek
<01245> (8763)
David
<01732>_;
and David
<01732>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[of it], and went down
<03381> (8799)
to the hold
<04686>_.
The Philistines
<06430>
also came
<0935> (8804)
and spread
<05203> (8735)
themselves in the valley
<06010>
of Rephaim
<07497>_.
And David
<01732>
enquired
<07592> (8799)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Shall I go up
<05927> (8799)
to the Philistines
<06430>_?
wilt thou deliver
<05414> (8799)
them into mine hand
<03027>_?
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)_:
for I will doubtless
<05414> (8800)
deliver
<05414> (8799)
the Philistines
<06430>
into thine hand
<03027>_.
And David
<01732>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Baalperazim
<01188>_,
and David
<01732>
smote
<05221> (8686)
them there, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath broken forth
<06555> (8804)
upon mine enemies
<0341> (8802)
before
<06440>
me, as the breach
<06556>
of waters
<04325>_.
Therefore he called
<07121> (8804)
the name
<08034>
of that place
<04725>
Baalperazim
<01188>_.
{Baalperazim: that is, the plain of breaches}
And there they left
<05800> (8799)
their images
<06091>_,
and David
<01732>
and his men
<0582>
burned
<05375> (8799)
them. {burned...: or, took them away}
And the Philistines
<06430>
came up
<05927> (8800)
yet again
<03254> (8686)_,
and spread
<05203> (8735)
themselves in the valley
<06010>
of Rephaim
<07497>_.
And when David
<01732>
enquired
<07592> (8799)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt not go up
<05927> (8799)_;
[but] fetch a compass
<05437> (8685)
behind
<0310>
them, and come
<0935> (8804)
upon them over against
<04136>
the mulberry trees
<01057>_.
And let it be, when thou hearest
<08085> (8800)
the sound
<06963>
of a going
<06807>
in the tops
<07218>
of the mulberry trees
<01057>_,
that then thou shalt bestir
<02782> (8799)
thyself: for then shall the LORD
<03068>
go out
<03318> (8804)
before
<06440>
thee, to smite
<05221> (8687)
the host
<04264>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
And David
<01732>
did so
<06213> (8799)_,
as the LORD
<03068>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)
him; and smote
<05221> (8686)
the Philistines
<06430>
from Geba
<01387>
until thou come
<0935> (8800)
to Gazer
<01507>_.
{Geba: also called, Gibeon}
Again, David
<01732>
gathered together
<0622> (8799) (8676) <03254> (8686)
all [the] chosen
<0977> (8803)
[men] of Israel
<03478>_,
thirty
<07970>
thousand
<0505>_.
And David
<01732>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
with all the people
<05971>
that [were] with him from Baale of Judah
<01184>_,
to bring up
<05927> (8687)
from thence the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_,
whose name
<08034>
is called
<07121> (8738)
by the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
that dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
[between] the cherubims
<03742>_.
{Baale: or, Baalah, that is, Kirjathjearim} {whose name...: or, at which the name, even the name of the LORD of hosts, was called upon}
And they set
<07392> (8686)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
upon a new
<02319>
cart
<05699>_,
and brought
<05375> (8799)
it out of the house
<01004>
of Abinadab
<041>
that [was] in Gibeah
<01390>_:
and Uzzah
<05798>
and Ahio
<0283>_,
the sons
<01121>
of Abinadab
<041>_,
drave
<05090> (8802)
the new
<02319>
cart
<05699>_.
{set: Heb. made to ride} {Gibeah: or, the hill}
And they brought
<05375> (8799)
it out of the house
<01004>
of Abinadab
<041>
which [was] at Gibeah
<01390>_,
accompanying
<05973>
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_:
and Ahio
<0283>
went
<01980> (8802)
before
<06440>
the ark
<0727>_.
{accompanying: Heb. with}
And David
<01732>
and all the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
played
<07832> (8764)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
on all manner of [instruments made of] fir
<01265>
wood
<06086>_,
even on harps
<03658>_,
and on psalteries
<05035>_,
and on timbrels
<08596>_,
and on cornets
<04517>_,
and on cymbals
<06767>_.
And when they came
<0935> (8799)
to Nachon's
<05225>
threshingfloor
<01637>_,
Uzzah
<05798>
put forth
<07971> (8799)
[his hand] to the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_,
and took hold
<0270> (8799)
of it; for the oxen
<01241>
shook
<08058> (8804)
[it]. {Nachon: also called Chidon} {shook it: or, stumbled}
And the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
against Uzzah
<05798>_;
and God
<0430>
smote
<05221> (8686)
him there for [his] error
<07944>_;
and there he died
<04191> (8799)
by the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_.
{error: or, rashness}
And David
<01732>
was displeased
<02734> (8799)_,
because the LORD
<03068>
had made
<06555> (8804)
a breach
<06556>
upon Uzzah
<05798>_:
and he called
<07121> (8799)
the name of the place
<04725>
Perezuzzah
<06560>
to this day
<03117>_.
{made: Heb. broken} {Perezuzzah: that is, the breach of Uzzah}
And David
<01732>
was afraid
<03372> (8799)
of the LORD
<03068>
that day
<03117>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
How shall the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
come
<0935> (8799)
to me?
So David
<01732>
would
<014> (8804)
not remove
<05493> (8687)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto him into the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_:
but David
<01732>
carried it aside
<05186> (8686)
into the house
<01004>
of Obededom
<05654>
the Gittite
<01663>_.
And the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
continued
<03427> (8799)
in the house
<01004>
of Obededom
<05654>
the Gittite
<01663>
three
<07969>
months
<02320>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
Obededom
<05654>_,
and all his household
<01004>_.
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
king
<04428>
David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8765)
the house
<01004>
of Obededom
<05654>_,
and all that [pertaineth] unto him, because of the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_.
So David
<01732>
went
<03212> (8799)
and brought up
<05927> (8686)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
from the house
<01004>
of Obededom
<05654>
into the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>
with gladness
<08057>_.
And it was [so], that when they that bare
<05375> (8802)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
had gone
<06805> (8804)
six
<08337>
paces
<06806>_,
he sacrificed
<02076> (8799)
oxen
<07794>
and fatlings
<04806>_.
And David
<01732>
danced
<03769> (8772)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
with all [his] might
<05797>_;
and David
<01732>
[was] girded
<02296> (8803)
with a linen
<0906>
ephod
<0646>_.
So David
<01732>
and all the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
brought up
<05927> (8688)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
with shouting
<08643>_,
and with the sound
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>_.
And as the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
came
<0935> (8802)
into the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_,
Michal
<04324>
Saul's
<07586>
daughter
<01323>
looked
<08259> (8738)
through a window
<02474>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
king
<04428>
David
<01732>
leaping
<06339> (8764)
and dancing
<03769> (8772)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_;
and she despised
<0959> (8799)
him in her heart
<03820>_.
And they brought
<0935> (8686)
in the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and set
<03322> (8686)
it in his place
<04725>_,
in the midst
<08432>
of the tabernacle
<0168>
that David
<01732>
had pitched
<05186> (8804)
for it: and David
<01732>
offered
<05927> (8686)
burnt offerings
<05930>
and peace offerings
<08002>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
{pitched: Heb. stretched}
And as soon as David
<01732>
had made an end
<03615> (8762)
of offering
<05927> (8687)
burnt offerings
<05930>
and peace offerings
<08002>_,
he blessed
<01288> (8762)
the people
<05971>
in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
And he dealt
<02505> (8762)
among all the people
<05971>_,
[even] among the whole multitude
<01995>
of Israel
<03478>_,
as well to the women
<0802>
as men
<0376>_,
to every one
<0376>
a
<0259>
cake
<02471>
of bread
<03899>_,
and a good piece
<0829>
[of flesh], and a flagon
<0809>
[of wine]. So all the people
<05971>
departed
<03212> (8799)
every one
<0376>
to his house
<01004>_.
Then David
<01732>
returned
<07725> (8799)
to bless
<01288> (8763)
his household
<01004>_.
And Michal
<04324>
the daughter
<01323>
of Saul
<07586>
came out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
David
<01732>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
How glorious
<03513> (8738)
was the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
to day
<03117>_,
who uncovered
<01540> (8738)
himself to day
<03117>
in the eyes
<05869>
of the handmaids
<0519>
of his servants
<05650>_,
as one
<0259>
of the vain fellows
<07386>
shamelessly
<01540> (8736)
uncovereth
<01540> (8736)
himself! {shamelessly: or, openly}
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Michal
<04324>_,
[It was] before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
which chose
<0977> (8804)
me before thy father
<01>_,
and before all his house
<01004>_,
to appoint
<06680> (8763)
me ruler
<05057>
over the people
<05971>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
over Israel
<03478>_:
therefore will I play
<07832> (8765)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
And I will yet be more vile
<07043> (8738)
than thus
<02063>_,
and will be base
<08217>
in mine own sight
<05869>_:
and of the maidservants
<0519>
which thou hast spoken
<0559> (8804)
of, of them shall I be had in honour
<03513> (8735)_.
{of the...: or, of the handmaids of my servants}
Therefore Michal
<04324>
the daughter
<01323>
of Saul
<07586>
had no child
<02056> (8675) <03206>
unto the day
<03117>
of her death
<04194>_.
And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>
sat
<03427> (8804)
in his house
<01004>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
had given him rest
<05117> (8689)
round about
<05439>
from all his enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
That the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Nathan
<05416>
the prophet
<05030>_,
See
<07200> (8798)
now, I dwell
<03427> (8802)
in an house
<01004>
of cedar
<0730>_,
but the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
within
<08432>
curtains
<03407>_.
And Nathan
<05416>
said
<0559> (8799)
to the king
<04428>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
do
<06213> (8798)
all that [is] in thine heart
<03824>_;
for the LORD
<03068>
[is] with thee.
And it came to pass that night
<03915>_,
that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto Nathan
<05416>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and tell
<0559> (8804)
my servant
<05650>
David
<01732>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Shalt thou build
<01129> (8799)
me an house
<01004>
for me to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_?
{my servant...: Heb. to my servant, to David}
Whereas I have not dwelt
<03427> (8804)
in [any] house
<01004>
since the time
<03117>
that I brought up
<05927> (8687)
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
even to this day
<03117>_,
but have walked
<01980> (8693)
in a tent
<0168>
and in a tabernacle
<04908>_.
In all [the places] wherein I have walked
<01980> (8694)
with all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
spake
<01696> (8765)
I a word
<01697>
with any
<0259>
of the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
whom I commanded
<06680> (8765)
to feed
<07462> (8800)
my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Why build
<01129> (8804)
ye not me an house
<01004>
of cedar
<0730>_?
{any of...: any of the judges}
Now therefore so shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)
unto my servant
<05650>
David
<01732>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
I took
<03947> (8804)
thee from the sheepcote
<05116>_,
from following
<0310>
the sheep
<06629>_,
to be ruler
<05057>
over my people
<05971>_,
over Israel
<03478>_:
{from following: Heb. from after}
And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest
<01980> (8804)_,
and have cut off
<03772> (8686)
all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)
out of thy sight
<06440>_,
and have made
<06213> (8804)
thee a great
<01419>
name
<08034>_,
like unto the name
<08034>
of the great
<01419>
[men] that [are] in the earth
<0776>_.
{out of...: Heb. from thy face}
Moreover I will appoint
<07760> (8804)
a place
<04725>
for my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
and will plant
<05193> (8804)
them, that they may dwell
<07931> (8804)
in a place of their own, and move
<07264> (8799)
no more; neither shall the children
<01121>
of wickedness
<05766>
afflict
<06031> (8763)
them any more
<03254> (8686)_,
as beforetime
<07223>_,
And as since the time
<03117>
that I commanded
<06680> (8765)
judges
<08199> (8802)
[to be] over my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
and have caused thee to rest
<05117> (8689)
from all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
Also the LORD
<03068>
telleth
<05046> (8689)
thee that he will make
<06213> (8799)
thee an house
<01004>_.
And when thy days
<03117>
be fulfilled
<04390> (8799)_,
and thou shalt sleep
<07901> (8804)
with thy fathers
<01>_,
I will set up
<06965> (8689)
thy seed
<02233>
after
<0310>
thee, which shall proceed
<03318> (8799)
out of thy bowels
<04578>_,
and I will establish
<03559> (8689)
his kingdom
<04467>_.
He shall build
<01129> (8799)
an house
<01004>
for my name
<08034>_,
and I will stablish
<03559> (8790)
the throne
<03678>
of his kingdom
<04467>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
I will be his father
<01>_,
and he shall be my son
<01121>_.
If he commit iniquity
<05753> (8687)_,
I will chasten
<03198> (8689)
him with the rod
<07626>
of men
<0582>_,
and with the stripes
<05061>
of the children
<01121>
of men
<0120>_:
But my mercy
<02617>
shall not depart away
<05493> (8799)
from him, as I took
<05493> (8689)
[it] from Saul
<07586>_,
whom I put away
<05493> (8689)
before
<06440>
thee.
And thine house
<01004>
and thy kingdom
<04467>
shall be established
<0539> (8738)
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>
before
<06440>
thee: thy throne
<03678>
shall be established
<03559> (8737)
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
According to all these words
<01697>_,
and according to all this vision
<02384>_,
so did Nathan
<05416>
speak
<01696> (8765)
unto David
<01732>_.
Then went
<0935> (8799)
king
<04428>
David
<01732>
in, and sat
<03427> (8799)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [am] I, O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_?
and what [is] my house
<01004>_,
that thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)
me hitherto
<01988>_?
And this was yet a small thing
<06994> (8799)
in thy sight
<05869>_,
O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
but thou hast spoken
<01696> (8762)
also of thy servant's
<05650>
house
<01004>
for a great while to come
<07350>_.
And [is] this the manner
<08452>
of man
<0120>_,
O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_?
{manner: Heb. law}
And what can
<03254> (0)
David
<01732>
say
<01696> (8763)
more
<03254> (8686)
unto thee? for thou, Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
knowest
<03045> (8804)
thy servant
<05650>_.
For thy word's
<01697>
sake, and according to thine own heart
<03820>_,
hast thou done
<06213> (8804)
all these great things
<01420>_,
to make thy servant
<05650>
know
<03045> (8687)
[them].
Wherefore thou art great
<01431> (8804)_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_:
for [there is] none like thee, neither [is there any] God
<0430>
beside
<02108>
thee, according to all that we have heard
<08085> (8804)
with our ears
<0241>_.
And what one
<0259>
nation
<01471>
in the earth
<0776>
[is] like thy people
<05971>_,
[even] like Israel
<03478>_,
whom God
<0430>
went
<01980> (8804)
to redeem
<06299> (8800)
for a people
<05971>
to himself, and to make
<07760> (8800)
him a name
<08034>_,
and to do
<06213> (8800)
for you great things
<01420>
and terrible
<03372> (8737)_,
for thy land
<0776>_,
before
<06440>
thy people
<05971>_,
which thou redeemedst
<06299> (8804)
to thee from Egypt
<04714>_,
[from] the nations
<01471>
and their gods
<0430>_?
For thou hast confirmed
<03559> (8787)
to thyself thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>
[to be] a people
<05971>
unto thee for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_:
and thou, LORD
<03068>_,
art become
<01961> (8804)
their God
<0430>_.
And now, O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_,
the word
<01697>
that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
concerning thy servant
<05650>_,
and concerning his house
<01004>_,
establish
<06965> (8685)
[it] for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_,
and do
<06213> (8798)
as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_.
And let thy name
<08034>
be magnified
<01431> (8799)
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] the God
<0430>
over Israel
<03478>_:
and let the house
<01004>
of thy servant
<05650>
David
<01732>
be established
<03559> (8737)
before
<06440>
thee.
For thou, O LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
hast revealed
<01540> (8804) <0241>
to thy servant
<05650>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I will build
<01129> (8799)
thee an house
<01004>_:
therefore hath thy servant
<05650>
found
<04672> (8804)
in his heart
<03820>
to pray
<06419> (8692)
this prayer
<08605>
unto thee. {revealed: Heb. opened the ear}
And now, O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
thou [art] that God
<0430>_,
and thy words
<01697>
be true
<0571>_,
and thou hast promised
<01696> (8762)
this goodness
<02896>
unto thy servant
<05650>_:
Therefore now let it please
<02974> (8685)
thee to bless
<01288> (8761)
the house
<01004>
of thy servant
<05650>_,
that it may continue for ever
<05769>
before
<06440>
thee: for thou, O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it]: and with thy blessing
<01293>
let the house
<01004>
of thy servant
<05650>
be blessed
<01288> (8792)
for ever
<05769>_.
{let it...: Heb. be thou pleased and bless}
And after
<0310>
this it came to pass, that David
<01732>
smote
<05221> (8686)
the Philistines
<06430>_,
and subdued
<03665> (8686)
them: and David
<01732>
took
<03947> (8799)
Methegammah
<04965>
out of the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
{Methegammah: or, the bridle of Ammah}
And he smote
<05221> (8686)
Moab
<04124>_,
and measured
<04058> (8762)
them with a line
<02256>_,
casting them down
<07901> (8687)
to the ground
<0776>_;
even with two
<08147>
lines
<02256>
measured
<04058> (8762)
he to put to death
<04191> (8687)_,
and with one full
<04393>
line
<02256>
to keep alive
<02421> (8687)_.
And [so] the Moabites
<04124>
became David's
<01732>
servants
<05650>_,
[and] brought
<05375> (8802)
gifts
<04503>_.
David
<01732>
smote
<05221> (8686)
also Hadadezer
<01909>_,
the son
<01121>
of Rehob
<07340>_,
king
<04428>
of Zobah
<06678>_,
as he went
<03212> (8800)
to recover
<07725> (8687)
his border
<03027>
at the river
<05104>
Euphrates
<06578>_.
{Hadadezer: or, Hadarezer}
And David
<01732>
took
<03920> (8799)
from him a thousand
<0505>
[chariots], and seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
horsemen
<06571>_,
and twenty
<06242>
thousand
<0505>
footmen
<0376> <07273>_:
and David
<01732>
houghed
<06131> (8762)
all the chariot
<07393>
[horses], but reserved
<03498> (8686)
of them [for] an hundred
<03967>
chariots
<07393>_.
{from...: or, of his chariots}
And when the Syrians
<0758>
of Damascus
<01834>
came
<0935> (8799)
to succour
<05826> (8800)
Hadadezer
<01909>
king
<04428>
of Zobah
<06678>_,
David
<01732>
slew
<05221> (8686)
of the Syrians
<0758>
two
<08147>
and twenty
<06242>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_.
Then David
<01732>
put
<07760> (8799)
garrisons
<05333>
in Syria
<0758>
of Damascus
<01834>_:
and the Syrians
<0758>
became servants
<05650>
to David
<01732>_,
[and] brought
<05375> (8802)
gifts
<04503>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
preserved
<03467> (8686)
David
<01732>
whithersoever he went
<01980> (8804)_.
And David
<01732>
took
<03947> (8799)
the shields
<07982>
of gold
<02091>
that were on the servants
<05650>
of Hadadezer
<01909>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
them to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And from Betah
<0984>_,
and from Berothai
<01268>_,
cities
<05892>
of Hadadezer
<01909>_,
king
<04428>
David
<01732>
took
<03947> (8804)
exceeding
<03966>
much
<07235> (8687)
brass
<05178>_.
When Toi
<08583>
king
<04428>
of Hamath
<02574>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that David
<01732>
had smitten
<05221> (8689)
all the host
<02428>
of Hadadezer
<01909>_,
Then Toi
<08583>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Joram
<03141>
his son
<01121>
unto king
<04428>
David
<01732>_,
to salute
<07592> (8800) <07965>
him, and to bless
<01288> (8763)
him, because he had fought
<03898> (8738)
against Hadadezer
<01909>_,
and smitten
<05221> (8686)
him: for Hadadezer
<01909>
had wars
<0376> <04421>
with Toi
<08583>_.
And [Joram] brought with him
<03027>
vessels
<03627>
of silver
<03701>_,
and vessels
<03627>
of gold
<02091>_,
and vessels

Which also king
<04428>
David
<01732>

<03068>_,
with the silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>
that he had dedicated

<01471>
which he subdued

of Zobah
<06678>_.
And David
<01732>
gat
<06213> (8799)
[him] a name
<08034>
when he returned
<07725> (8800)

in the valley
