2 Samuel 13:20-28

13:20

And Absalom
<053>

her brother
<0251>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Hath Amnon
<0550>

thy brother
<0251>

been with thee? but hold now thy peace
<02790> (8685)_,

my sister
<0269>_:

he [is] thy brother
<0251>_;

regard
<07896> (8799) <03820>

not this thing
<01697>_.

So Tamar
<08559>

remained
<03427> (8799)

desolate
<08074> (8802)

in her brother
<0251>

Absalom's
<053>

house
<01004>_.

{Amnon: Heb. Aminon} {regard...: Heb. set not thy heart} {desolate: Heb. and desolate}

13:21

But when king
<04428>

David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8804)

of all these things
<01697>_,

he was very
<03966>

wroth
<02734> (8799)_.

13:22

And Absalom
<053>

spake
<01696> (8765)

unto his brother Amnon
<0550>

neither good
<02896>

nor bad
<07451>_:

for Absalom
<053>

hated
<08130> (8804)

Amnon
<0550>_,

because
<01697>

he had forced
<06031> (8765)

his sister
<0269>

Tamar
<08559>_.

13:23

And it came to pass after two full
<03117>

years
<08141>_,

that Absalom
<053>

had sheepshearers
<01494> (8802)

in Baalhazor
<01178>_,

which [is] beside Ephraim
<0669>_:

and Absalom
<053>

invited
<07121> (8799)

all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_.

13:24

And Absalom
<053>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, thy servant
<05650>

hath sheepshearers
<01494> (8802)_;

let
<03212> (0)

the king
<04428>_,

I beseech thee, and his servants
<05650>

go
<03212> (8799)

with thy servant
<05650>_.

13:25

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Absalom
<053>_,

Nay, my son
<01121>_,

let us not all now go
<03212> (8799)_,

lest we be chargeable
<03513> (8799)

unto thee. And he pressed
<06555> (8799)

him: howbeit he would
<014> (8804)

not go
<03212> (8800)_,

but blessed
<01288> (8762)

him.

13:26

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Absalom
<053>_,

If not, I pray thee, let my brother
<0251>

Amnon
<0550>

go
<03212> (8799)

with us. And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why should he go
<03212> (8799)

with thee?

13:27

But Absalom
<053>

pressed
<06555> (8799)

him, that he let Amnon
<0550>

and all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

go
<07971> (8799)

with him.

13:28

Now Absalom
<053>

had commanded
<06680> (8762)

his servants
<05288>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Mark
<07200> (8798)

ye now when Amnon's
<0550>

heart
<03820>

is merry
<02896>

with wine
<03196>_,

and when I say
<0559> (8804)

unto you, Smite
<05221> (8685)

Amnon
<0550>_;

then kill
<04191> (8689)

him, fear
<03372> (8799)

not: have not I commanded
<06680> (8765)

you? be courageous
<02388> (8798)_,

and be valiant
<01121> <02428>_.

{have...: or, will you not, since I have commanded you?} {valiant: Heb. sons of valour}

2 Samuel 14:24--15:18

14:24

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let him turn
<05437> (8735)

to his own house
<01004>_,

and let him not see
<07200> (8799)

my face
<06440>_.

So Absalom
<053>

returned
<05437> (8735)

to his own house
<01004>_,

and saw
<07200> (8804)

not the king's
<04428>

face
<06440>_.

14:25

But in all Israel
<03478>

there was none
<0376>

to be so much
<03966>

praised
<01984> (8763)

as Absalom
<053>

for his beauty
<03303>_:

from the sole
<03709>

of his foot
<07272>

even to the crown of his head
<06936>

there was no blemish
<03971>

in him. {But...: Heb. And as Absalom there was not a beautiful man in all Israel to praise greatly}

14:26

And when he polled
<01548> (8763)

his head
<07218>_,

(for it was at every year's
<03117> <03117>

end
<07093>

that he polled
<01548> (8762)

[it]: because [the hair] was heavy
<03513> (8804)

on him, therefore he polled
<01548> (8765)

it:) he weighed
<08254> (8804)

the hair
<08181>

of his head
<07218>

at two hundred
<03967>

shekels
<08255>

after the king's
<04428>

weight
<068>_.

14:27

And unto Absalom
<053>

there were born
<03205> (8735)

three
<07969>

sons
<01121>_,

and one
<0259>

daughter
<01323>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Tamar
<08559>_:

she was a woman
<0802>

of a fair
<03303>

countenance
<04758>_.

14:28

So Absalom
<053>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

two full
<03117>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and saw
<07200> (8804)

not the king's
<04428>

face
<06440>_.

14:29

Therefore Absalom
<053>

sent
<07971> (8799)

for Joab
<03097>_,

to have sent
<07971> (8800)

him to the king
<04428>_;

but he would
<014> (8804)

not come
<0935> (8800)

to him: and when he sent again
<07971> (8799)

the second time
<08145>_,

he would
<014> (8804)

not come
<0935> (8800)_.

14:30

Therefore he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

See
<07200> (8798)_,

Joab's
<03097>

field
<02513>

is near
<0413>

mine
<03027>_,

and he hath barley
<08184>

there; go
<03212> (8798)

and set
<03341> (8685)

it on fire
<0784>_.

And Absalom's
<053>

servants
<05650>

set
<03341> (8686)

the field
<02513>

on fire
<0784>_.

{near...: Heb. near my place}

14:31

Then Joab
<03097>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Absalom
<053>

unto [his] house
<01004>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Wherefore have thy servants
<05650>

set
<03341> (8689)

my field
<02513>

on fire
<0784>_?

14:32

And Absalom
<053>

answered
<0559> (8799)

Joab
<03097>_,

Behold, I sent
<07971> (8804)

unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come
<0935> (8798)

hither, that I may send
<07971> (8799)

thee to the king
<04428>_,

to say
<0559> (8800)_,

Wherefore am I come
<0935> (8804)

from Geshur
<01650>_?

[it had been] good
<02896>

for me [to have been] there still: now therefore let me see
<07200> (8799)

the king's
<04428>

face
<06440>_;

and if there be
<03426>

[any] iniquity
<05771>

in me, let him kill
<04191> (8689)

me.

14:33

So Joab
<03097>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him: and when he had called
<07121> (8799)

for Absalom
<053>_,

he came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself on his face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_:

and the king
<04428>

kissed
<05401> (8799)

Absalom
<053>_.

15:1

And it came to pass after this
<0310>_,

that Absalom
<053>

prepared
<06213> (8799)

him chariots
<04818>

and horses
<05483>_,

and fifty
<02572>

men
<0376>

to run
<07323> (8801)

before
<06440>

him.

15:2

And Absalom
<053>

rose up early
<07925> (8689)_,

and stood
<05975> (8804)

beside
<03027>

the way
<01870>

of the gate
<08179>_:

and it was [so], that when any man
<0376>

that had a controversy
<07379>

came
<0935> (8800)

to the king
<04428>

for judgment
<04941>_,

then Absalom
<053>

called
<07121> (8799)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Of what
<0335>

city
<05892>

[art] thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy servant
<05650>

[is] of one
<0259>

of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{came: Heb. to come}

15:3

And Absalom
<053>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, See
<07200> (8798)_,

thy matters
<01697>

[are] good
<02896>

and right
<05228>_;

but [there is] no man [deputed] of the king
<04428>

to hear
<08085> (8802)

thee. {there...: or, none will hear thee from the king downward}

15:4

Absalom
<053>

said
<0559> (8799)

moreover, Oh that I were made
<07760> (8799)

judge
<08199> (8802)

in the land
<0776>_,

that every man
<0376>

which hath any suit
<07379>

or cause
<04941>

might come
<0935> (8799)

unto me, and I would do him justice
<06663> (8689)_!

15:5

And it was [so], that when any man
<0376>

came nigh
<07126> (8800)

[to him] to do him obeisance
<07812> (8692)_,

he put forth
<07971> (8804)

his hand
<03027>_,

and took
<02388> (8689)

him, and kissed
<05401> (8804)

him.

15:6

And on this manner
<01697>

did
<06213> (8799)

Absalom
<053>

to all Israel
<03478>

that came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

for judgment
<04941>_:

so Absalom
<053>

stole
<01589> (8762)

the hearts
<03820>

of the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>_.

15:7

And it came to pass after
<07093>

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_,

that Absalom
<053>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

I pray thee, let me go
<03212> (8799)

and pay
<07999> (8762)

my vow
<05088>_,

which I have vowed
<05087> (8804)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

in Hebron
<02275>_.

15:8

For thy servant
<05650>

vowed
<05087> (8804)

a vow
<05088>

while I abode
<03427> (8800)

at Geshur
<01650>

in Syria
<0758>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If the LORD
<03068>

shall bring me again
<07725> (8799) (8676) <07725> (8686)

indeed to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

then I will serve
<05647> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

15:9

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)

in peace
<07965>_.

So he arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Hebron
<02275>_.

15:10

But Absalom
<053>

sent
<07971> (8799)

spies
<07270> (8764)

throughout all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

As soon as ye hear
<08085> (8800)

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_,

then ye shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

Absalom
<053>

reigneth
<04427> (8804)

in Hebron
<02275>_.

15:11

And with Absalom
<053>

went
<01980> (8804)

two hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

out of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

[that were] called
<07121> (8803)_;

and they went
<01980> (8802)

in their simplicity
<08537>_,

and they knew
<03045> (8804)

not any thing
<01697>_.

15:12

And Absalom
<053>

sent
<07971> (8799)

for Ahithophel
<0302>

the Gilonite
<01526>_,

David's
<01732>

counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,

from his city
<05892>_,

[even] from Giloh
<01542>_,

while he offered
<02076> (8800)

sacrifices
<02077>_.

And the conspiracy
<07195>

was strong
<0533>_;

for the people
<05971>

increased
<07227>

continually
<01980> (8802)

with Absalom
<053>_.

15:13

And there came
<0935> (8799)

a messenger
<05046> (8688)

to David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The hearts
<03820>

of the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

are after
<0310>

Absalom
<053>_.

15:14

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all his servants
<05650>

that [were] with him at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and let us flee
<01272> (8799)_;

for we shall not [else] escape
<06413>

from
<06440>

Absalom
<053>_:

make speed
<04116> (8761)

to depart
<03212> (8800)_,

lest he overtake
<05381> (8689)

us suddenly
<04116> (8762)_,

and bring
<05080> (8689)

evil
<07451>

upon us, and smite
<05221> (8689)

the city
<05892>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_.

{bring: Heb. thrust}

15:15

And the king's
<04428>

servants
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Behold, thy servants
<05650>

[are ready to do] whatsoever my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

shall appoint
<0977> (8799)_.

{appoint: Heb. choose}

15:16

And the king
<04428>

went forth
<03318> (8799)_,

and all his household
<01004>

after
<07272>

him. And the king
<04428>

left
<05800> (8799)

ten
<06235>

women
<0802>_,

[which were] concubines
<06370>_,

to keep
<08104> (8800)

the house
<01004>_.

{after...: Heb. at his feet}

15:17

And the king
<04428>

went forth
<03318> (8799)_,

and all the people
<05971>

after
<07272>

him, and tarried
<05975> (8799)

in a place
<01004>

that was far off
<04801> (8677) <01023>_.

15:18

And all his servants
<05650>

passed on
<05674> (8802)

beside
<03027>

him; and all the Cherethites
<03774>_,

and all the Pelethites
<06432>_,

and all the Gittites
<01663>_,

six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

which came
<0935> (8804)

after
<07272>

him from Gath
<01661>_,

passed on
<05674> (8802)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

2 Samuel 17:1-14

17:1

Moreover Ahithophel
<0302>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Absalom
<053>_,

Let me now choose out
<0977> (8799)

twelve
<08147> <06240>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_,

and I will arise
<06965> (8799)

and pursue
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

David
<01732>

this night
<03915>_:

17:2

And I will come
<0935> (8799)

upon him while he [is] weary
<03023>

and weak
<07504>

handed
<03027>_,

and will make him afraid
<02729> (8689)_:

and all the people
<05971>

that [are] with him shall flee
<05127> (8804)_;

and I will smite
<05221> (8689)

the king
<04428>

only:

17:3

And I will bring back
<07725> (8686)

all the people
<05971>

unto thee: the man
<0376>

whom thou seekest
<01245> (8764)

[is] as if all returned
<07725> (8800)_:

[so] all the people
<05971>

shall be in peace
<07965>_.

17:4

And the saying
<01697>

pleased
<03474> (8799)

Absalom
<053>

well
<05869>_,

and all the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{pleased...: Heb. was right in the eyes of, etc}

17:5

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Absalom
<053>_,

Call
<07121> (8798)

now Hushai
<02365>

the Archite
<0757>

also, and let us hear
<08085> (8799)

likewise what he saith
<06310>_.

{what...: Heb. what is in his mouth}

17:6

And when Hushai
<02365>

was come
<0935> (8799)

to Absalom
<053>_,

Absalom
<053>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ahithophel
<0302>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

after this manner
<01697>_:

shall we do
<06213> (8799)

[after] his saying
<01697>_?

if not; speak
<01696> (8761)

thou. {his saying: Heb. his word}

17:7

And Hushai
<02365>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Absalom
<053>_,

The counsel
<06098>

that Ahithophel
<0302>

hath given
<03289> (8804)

[is] not good
<02896>

at this time
<06471>_.

{given: Heb. counselled}

17:8

For, said
<0559> (8799)

Hushai
<02365>_,

thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

thy father
<01>

and his men
<0582>_,

that they [be] mighty men
<01368>_,

and they [be] chafed
<04751>

in their minds
<05315>_,

as a bear
<01677>

robbed
<07909>

of her whelps in the field
<07704>_:

and thy father
<01>

[is] a man
<0376>

of war
<04421>_,

and will not lodge
<03885> (8799)

with the people
<05971>_.

{chafed...: Heb. bitter of soul}

17:9

Behold, he is hid
<02244> (8737)

now in some
<0259>

pit
<06354>_,

or in some
<0259>

[other] place
<04725>_:

and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown
<05307> (8800)

at the first
<08462>_,

that whosoever
<08085> (8802)

heareth
<08085> (8804)

it will say
<0559> (8804)_,

There is a slaughter
<04046>

among the people
<05971>

that follow
<0310>

Absalom
<053>_.

{overthrown: Heb. fallen}

17:10

And he also [that is] valiant
<01121> <02428>_,

whose heart
<03820>

[is] as the heart
<03820>

of a lion
<0738>_,

shall utterly
<04549> (8736)

melt
<04549> (8735)_:

for all Israel
<03478>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

that thy father
<01>

[is] a mighty man
<01368>_,

and [they] which [be] with him [are] valiant
<02428>

men
<01121>_.

17:11

Therefore I counsel
<03289> (8804)

that all Israel
<03478>

be generally
<0622> (8736)

gathered
<0622> (8735)

unto thee, from Dan
<01835>

even to Beersheba
<0884>_,

as the sand
<02344>

that [is] by the sea
<03220>

for multitude
<07230>_;

and that thou go
<01980> (8802)

to battle
<07128>

in thine own person
<06440>_.

{that thou...: Heb. that thy face, or, presence go, etc}

17:12

So shall we come
<0935> (8804)

upon him in some
<0259>

place
<04725>

where he shall be found
<04672> (8738)_,

and we will light
<05168>

upon him as the dew
<02919>

falleth
<05307> (8799)

on the ground
<0127>_:

and of him and of all the men
<0582>

that [are] with him there shall not be left
<03498> (8738)

so much as
<01571>

one
<0259>_.

17:13

Moreover, if
<0518>

he be gotten
<0622> (8735)

into a city
<05892>_,

then shall all Israel
<03478>

bring
<05375> (8689)

ropes
<02256>

to that city
<05892>_,

and we will draw
<05498> (8804)

it into the river
<05158>_,

until there be not one
<01571>

small stone
<06872>

found
<04672> (8738)

there.

17:14

And Absalom
<053>

and all the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

The counsel
<06098>

of Hushai
<02365>

the Archite
<0757>

[is] better
<02896>

than the counsel
<06098>

of Ahithophel
<0302>_.

For the LORD
<03068>

had appointed
<06680> (8765)

to defeat
<06565> (8687)

the good
<02896>

counsel
<06098>

of Ahithophel
<0302>_,

to the intent
<05668>

that the LORD
<03068>

might bring
<0935> (8687)

evil
<07451>

upon Absalom
<053>_.

{appointed: Heb. commanded}

2 Samuel 18:9-18

18:9

And Absalom
<053>

met
<07122> (8735)

the servants
<06440> <05650>

of David
<01732>_.

And Absalom
<053>

rode
<07392> (8802)

upon a mule
<06505>_,

and the mule
<06505>

went
<0935> (8799)

under the thick boughs
<07730>

of a great
<01419>

oak
<0424>_,

and his head
<07218>

caught hold
<02388> (8799)

of the oak
<0424>_,

and he was taken up
<05414> (8714)

between the heaven
<08064>

and the earth
<0776>_;

and the mule
<06505>

that [was] under him went away
<05674> (8804)_.

18:10

And a certain
<0259>

man
<0376>

saw
<07200> (8799)

[it], and told
<05046> (8686)

Joab
<03097>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I saw
<07200> (8804)

Absalom
<053>

hanged
<08518> (8803)

in an oak
<0424>_.

18:11

And Joab
<03097>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the man
<0376>

that told
<05046> (8688)

him, And, behold, thou sawest
<07200> (8804)

[him], and why didst thou not smite
<05221> (8689)

him there to the ground
<0776>_?

and I would have given
<05414> (8800)

thee ten
<06235>

[shekels] of silver
<03701>_,

and a
<0259>

girdle
<02290>_.

18:12

And the man
<0376>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joab
<03097>_,

Though
<03863>

I should receive
<08254> (8802)

a thousand
<0505>

[shekels] of silver
<03701>

in mine hand
<03709>_,

[yet] would I not put forth
<07971> (8799)

mine hand
<03027>

against the king's
<04428>

son
<01121>_:

for in our hearing
<0241>

the king
<04428>

charged
<06680> (8765)

thee and Abishai
<052>

and Ittai
<0863>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Beware
<08104> (8798)

that none [touch] the young man
<05288>

Absalom
<053>_.

{receive: Heb. weigh upon mine hand} {Beware...: Heb. Beware whosoever ye be of, etc}

18:13

Otherwise
<0176>

I should have wrought
<06213> (8804)

falsehood
<08267>

against mine own life
<05315>_:

for there is no matter
<01697>

hid
<03582> (8735)

from the king
<04428>_,

and thou thyself wouldest have set
<03320> (8691)

thyself against [me].

18:14

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Joab
<03097>_,

I may not tarry
<03176> (8686)

thus with thee
<06440>_.

And he took
<03947> (8799)

three
<07969>

darts
<07626>

in his hand
<03709>_,

and thrust
<08628> (8799)

them through the heart
<03820>

of Absalom
<053>_,

while he [was] yet alive
<02416>

in the midst of the oak
<0424>_.

{with...: Heb. before thee} {midst: Heb. heart}

18:15

And ten
<06235>

young men
<05288>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

Joab's
<03097>

armour
<03627>

compassed about
<05437> (8799)

and smote
<05221> (8686)

Absalom
<053>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him.

18:16

And Joab
<03097>

blew
<08628> (8799)

the trumpet
<07782>_,

and the people
<05971>

returned
<07725> (8799)

from pursuing
<07291> (8800)

after
<0310>

Israel
<03478>_:

for Joab
<03097>

held back
<02820> (8804)

the people
<05971>_.

18:17

And they took
<03947> (8799)

Absalom
<053>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

him into a great
<01419>

pit
<06354>

in the wood
<03293>_,

and laid
<05324> (8686)

a very
<03966>

great
<01419>

heap
<01530>

of stones
<068>

upon him: and all Israel
<03478>

fled
<05127> (8804)

every one
<0376>

to his tent
<0168>_.

18:18

Now Absalom
<053>

in his lifetime
<02416>

had taken
<03947> (8804)

and reared up
<05324> (8686)

for himself a pillar
<04678>_,

which [is] in the king's
<04428>

dale
<06010>_:

for he said
<0559> (8804)_,

I have no son
<01121>

to keep my name
<08034>

in remembrance
<02142> (8687)_:

and he called
<07121> (8799)

the pillar
<04678>

after his own name
<08034>_:

and it is called
<07121> (8735)

unto this day
<03117>_,

Absalom's
<053>

place
<03027>_.

2 Samuel 18:33

18:33

And the king
<04428>

was much moved
<07264> (8799)_,

and went up
<05927> (8799)

to the chamber
<05944>

over the gate
<08179>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_:

and as he went
<03212> (8800)_,

thus he said
<0559> (8804)_,

O my son
<01121>

Absalom
<053>_,

my son
<01121>_,

my son
<01121>

Absalom
<053>_!

would God I had died
<04191> (8800)

for thee
<05414> (8799)_,

O Absalom
<053>_,

my son
<01121>_,

my son
<01121>_!
