2 Samuel 13:1--14:33

13:1

And it came to pass after
<0310>

this, that Absalom
<053>

the son
<01121>

of David
<01732>

had a fair
<03303>

sister
<0269>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Tamar
<08559>_;

and Amnon
<0550>

the son
<01121>

of David
<01732>

loved
<0157> (8799)

her.

13:2

And Amnon
<0550>

was so vexed
<03334> (8799)_,

that he fell sick
<02470> (8692)

for his sister
<0269>

Tamar
<08559>_;

for she [was] a virgin
<01330>_;

and Amnon
<0550>

thought
<05869>

it hard
<06381> (8735)

for him to do
<06213> (8800)

any thing
<03972>

to her. {Amnon thought...: Heb. it was marvellous, or, hidden in the eyes of Amnon}

13:3

But Amnon
<0550>

had a friend
<07453>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Jonadab
<03122>_,

the son
<01121>

of Shimeah
<08093>

David's
<01732>

brother
<0251>_:

and Jonadab
<03122>

[was] a very
<03966>

subtil
<02450>

man
<0376>_.

13:4

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why [art] thou, [being] the king's
<04428>

son
<01121>_,

lean
<01800>

from day
<01242>

to day
<01242>_?

wilt thou not tell
<05046> (8686)

me? And Amnon
<0550>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I love
<0157> (8802)

Tamar
<08559>_,

my brother
<0251>

Absalom's
<053>

sister
<0269>_.

{lean: Heb. thin} {from day...: Heb. morning by morning}

13:5

And Jonadab
<03082>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Lay thee down
<07901> (8798)

on thy bed
<04904>_,

and make thyself sick
<02470> (8690)_:

and when thy father
<01>

cometh
<0935> (8804)

to see
<07200> (8800)

thee, say
<0559> (8804)

unto him, I pray thee, let my sister
<0269>

Tamar
<08559>

come
<0935> (8799)_,

and give
<01262> (8686)

me meat
<03899>_,

and dress
<06213> (8804)

the meat
<01279>

in my sight
<05869>_,

that I may see
<07200> (8799)

[it], and eat
<0398> (8804)

[it] at her hand
<03027>_.

13:6

So Amnon
<0550>

lay down
<07901> (8799)_,

and made himself sick
<02470> (8691)_:

and when the king
<04428>

was come
<0935> (8799)

to see
<07200> (8800)

him, Amnon
<0550>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

I pray thee, let Tamar
<08559>

my sister
<0269>

come
<0935> (8799)_,

and make
<03823> (8762)

me a couple
<08147>

of cakes
<03834>

in my sight
<05869>_,

that I may eat
<01262> (8799)

at her hand
<03027>_.

13:7

Then David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

home
<01004>

to Tamar
<08559>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

now to thy brother
<0251>

Amnon's
<0550>

house
<01004>_,

and dress
<06213> (8798)

him meat
<01279>_.

13:8

So Tamar
<08559>

went
<03212> (8799)

to her brother
<0251>

Amnon's
<0550>

house
<01004>_;

and he was laid down
<07901> (8802)_.

And she took
<03947> (8799)

flour
<01217>_,

and kneaded
<03888> (8799)

[it], and made cakes
<03823> (8762)

in his sight
<05869>_,

and did bake
<01310> (8762)

the cakes
<03834>_.

{flour: or, paste}

13:9

And she took
<03947> (8799)

a pan
<04958>_,

and poured [them] out
<03332> (8799)

before
<06440>

him; but he refused
<03985> (8762)

to eat
<0398> (8800)_.

And Amnon
<0550>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Have out
<03318> (8685)

all men
<0376>

from me. And they went out
<03318> (8799)

every man
<0376>

from him.

13:10

And Amnon
<0550>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Tamar
<08559>_,

Bring
<0935> (8685)

the meat
<01279>

into the chamber
<02315>_,

that I may eat
<01262> (8799)

of thine hand
<03027>_.

And Tamar
<08559>

took
<03947> (8799)

the cakes
<03834>

which she had made
<06213> (8804)_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

[them] into the chamber
<02315>

to Amnon
<0550>

her brother
<0251>_.

13:11

And when she had brought
<05066> (8686)

[them] unto him to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

he took hold
<02388> (8686)

of her, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Come
<0935> (8798)

lie
<07901> (8798)

with me, my sister
<0269>_.

13:12

And she answered
<0559> (8799)

him, Nay, my brother
<0251>_,

do not force
<06031> (8762)

me; for no such thing ought
<03651>

to be done
<06213> (8735)

in Israel
<03478>_:

do
<06213> (8799)

not thou this folly
<05039>_.

{force...: Heb. humble me} {no such...: Heb. it ought not so to be done}

13:13

And I, whither shall I cause my shame
<02781>

to go
<03212> (8686)_?

and as for thee, thou shalt be as one
<0259>

of the fools
<05036>

in Israel
<03478>_.

Now therefore, I pray thee, speak
<01696> (8761)

unto the king
<04428>_;

for he will not withhold
<04513> (8799)

me from thee.

13:14

Howbeit he would
<014> (8804)

not hearken
<08085> (8800)

unto her voice
<06963>_:

but, being stronger
<02388> (8799)

than she, forced
<06031> (8762)

her, and lay
<07901> (8799)

with her.

13:15

Then Amnon
<0550>

hated
<08130> (8799)

her exceedingly
<03966> <01419>_;

so that the hatred
<08135>

wherewith he hated
<08130> (8804)

her [was] greater
<01419>

than the love
<0160>

wherewith he had loved
<0157> (8804)

her. And Amnon
<0550>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

be gone
<03212> (8798)_.

{exceedingly: Heb. with great hatred greatly}

13:16

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [There is] no cause
<0182>_:

this evil
<07451>

in sending me away
<07971> (8763)

[is] greater
<01419>

than the other
<0312>

that thou didst
<06213> (8804)

unto me. But he would
<014> (8804)

not hearken
<08085> (8800)

unto her.

13:17

Then he called
<07121> (8799)

his servant
<05288>

that ministered
<08334> (8764)

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

Put
<07971> (8798)

now this [woman] out
<02351>

from me, and bolt
<05274> (8798)

the door
<01817>

after
<0310>

her.

13:18

And [she had] a garment
<03801>

of divers colours
<06446>

upon her: for with such robes
<04598>

were the king's
<04428>

daughters
<01323>

[that were] virgins
<01330>

apparelled
<03847> (8799)_.

Then his servant
<08334> (8764)

brought
<03318> (8686)

her out
<02351>_,

and bolted
<05274> (8804)

the door
<01817>

after
<0310>

her.

13:19

And Tamar
<08559>

put
<03947> (8799)

ashes
<0665>

on her head
<07218>_,

and rent
<07167> (8804)

her garment
<03801>

of divers colours
<06446>

that [was] on her, and laid
<07760> (8799)

her hand
<03027>

on her head
<07218>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

on
<01980> (8800)

crying
<02199> (8804)_.

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}

13:29

And the servants
<05288>

of Absalom
<053>

did
<06213> (8799)

unto Amnon
<0550>

as Absalom
<053>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)_.

Then all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and every man
<0376>

gat him up
<07392> (8799)

upon his mule
<06505>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_.

{gat...: Heb. rode}

13:30

And it came to pass, while they were in the way
<01870>_,

that tidings
<08052>

came
<0935> (8804)

to David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Absalom
<053>

hath slain
<05221> (8689)

all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_,

and there is not one
<0259>

of them left
<03498> (8738)_.

13:31

Then the king
<04428>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and tare
<07167> (8799)

his garments
<0899>_,

and lay
<07901> (8799)

on the earth
<0776>_;

and all his servants
<05650>

stood
<05324> (8737)

by with their clothes
<0899>

rent
<07167> (8803)_.

13:32

And Jonadab
<03122>_,

the son
<01121>

of Shimeah
<08093>

David's
<01732>

brother
<0251>_,

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let not my lord
<0113>

suppose
<0559> (8799)

[that] they have slain
<04191> (8689)

all the young men
<05288>

the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_;

for Amnon
<0550>

only is dead
<04191> (8804)_:

for by the appointment
<06310>

of Absalom
<053>

this hath been determined
<07760> (8803)

from the day
<03117>

that he forced
<06031> (8763)

his sister
<0269>

Tamar
<08559>_.

{appointment: Heb. mouth} {determined: or, settled}

13:33

Now therefore let not my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

take
<07760> (8799)

the thing
<01697>

to his heart
<03820>_,

to think
<0559> (8800)

that all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

are dead
<04191> (8804)_:

for Amnon
<0550>

only is dead
<04191> (8804)_.

13:34

But Absalom
<053>

fled
<01272> (8799)_.

And the young man
<05288>

that kept the watch
<06822> (8802)

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, there came
<01980> (8802)

much
<07227>

people
<05971>

by the way
<01870>

of the hill
<02022>

side
<06654>

behind
<0310>

him.

13:35

And Jonadab
<03122>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Behold, the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

come
<0935> (8804)_:

as thy servant
<05650>

said
<01697>_,

so it is. {as thy...: Heb. according to the word of thy servant}

13:36

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of speaking
<01696> (8763)_,

that, behold, the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

came
<0935> (8804)_,

and lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their voice
<06963>

and wept
<01058> (8799)_:

and the king
<04428>

also and all his servants
<05650>

wept
<01058> (8804)

very
<03966>

sore
<01065> <01419>_.

{very...: Heb. with a great weeping greatly}

13:37

But Absalom
<053>

fled
<01272> (8804)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Talmai
<08526>_,

the son
<01121>

of Ammihud
<05991> (8675) <05989>_,

king
<04428>

of Geshur
<01650>_.

And [David] mourned
<056> (8691)

for his son
<01121>

every day
<03117>_.

{Ammihud: or, Ammihur}

13:38

So Absalom
<053>

fled
<01272> (8804)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Geshur
<01650>_,

and was there three
<07969>

years
<08141>_.

13:39

And [the soul of] king
<04428>

David
<01732>

longed
<03615> (8762)

to go forth
<03318> (8800)

unto Absalom
<053>_:

for he was comforted
<05162> (8738)

concerning Amnon
<0550>_,

seeing he was dead
<04191> (8804)_.

{longed: or, was consumed}

14:1

Now Joab
<03097>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

perceived
<03045> (8799)

that the king's
<04428>

heart
<03820>

[was] toward Absalom
<053>_.

14:2

And Joab
<03097>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Tekoah
<08620>_,

and fetched
<03947> (8799)

thence a wise
<02450>

woman
<0802>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner
<056> (8693)_,

and put on
<03847> (8798)

now mourning
<060>

apparel
<0899>_,

and anoint
<05480> (8799)

not thyself with oil
<08081>_,

but be as a woman
<0802>

that had a long
<07227>

time
<03117>

mourned
<056> (8690)

for the dead
<04191> (8801)_:

14:3

And come
<0935> (8804)

to the king
<04428>_,

and speak
<01696> (8765)

on this manner
<01697>

unto him. So Joab
<03097>

put
<07760> (8799)

the words
<01697>

in her mouth
<06310>_.

14:4

And when the woman
<0802>

of Tekoah
<08621>

spake
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

she fell
<05307> (8799)

on her face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and did obeisance
<07812> (8691)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Help
<03467> (8685)_,

O king
<04428>_.

{Help: Heb. Save}

14:5

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] indeed
<061>

a widow
<0490>

woman
<0802>_,

and mine husband
<0376>

is dead
<04191> (8799)_.

14:6

And thy handmaid
<08198>

had two
<08147>

sons
<01121>_,

and they two
<08147>

strove together
<05327> (8735)

in the field
<07704>_,

and [there was] none to part
<05337> (8688)

them, but the one
<0259>

smote
<05221> (8686)

the other
<0259>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him. {none...: Heb. no deliverer between them}

14:7

And, behold, the whole family
<04940>

is risen
<06965> (8804)

against thine handmaid
<08198>_,

and they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Deliver
<05414> (8798)

him that smote
<05221> (8688)

his brother
<0251>_,

that we may kill
<04191> (8686)

him, for the life
<05315>

of his brother
<0251>

whom he slew
<02026> (8804)_;

and we will destroy
<08045> (8686)

the heir
<03423> (8802)

also: and so they shall quench
<03518> (8765)

my coal
<01513>

which is left
<07760> (8800)_,

and shall not leave
<07604> (8738)

to my husband
<0376>

[neither] name
<08034>

nor remainder
<07611>

upon
<06440>

the earth
<0127>_.

{upon...: Heb. upon the face of the earth}

14:8

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the woman
<0802>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

to thine house
<01004>_,

and I will give charge
<06680> (8762)

concerning thee.

14:9

And the woman
<0802>

of Tekoah
<08621>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

My lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

the iniquity
<05771>

[be] on me, and on my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_:

and the king
<04428>

and his throne
<03678>

[be] guiltless
<05355>_.

14:10

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Whosoever saith
<01696> (8764)

[ought] unto thee, bring
<0935> (8689)

him to me, and he shall not touch
<05060> (8800)

thee any more
<03254> (8686)_.

14:11

Then said
<0559> (8799)

she, I pray thee, let the king
<04428>

remember
<02142> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers
<01350> (8802)

of blood
<01818>

to destroy
<07843> (8763)

any more
<07235> (8687)_,

lest they destroy
<08045> (8686)

my son
<01121>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

there shall not one hair
<08185>

of thy son
<01121>

fall
<05307> (8799)

to the earth
<0776>_.

{that...: Heb. that the revenger of blood do not multiply to destroy}

14:12

Then the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let thine handmaid
<08198>_,

I pray thee, speak
<01696> (8762)

[one] word
<01697>

unto my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Say on
<01696> (8761)_.

14:13

And the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore then hast thou thought
<02803> (8804)

such a thing against the people
<05971>

of God
<0430>_?

for the king
<04428>

doth speak
<01696> (8693)

this thing
<01697>

as one which is faulty
<0818>_,

in that the king
<04428>

doth not fetch home again
<07725> (8687)

his banished
<05080> (8737)_.

14:14

For we must needs
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_,

and [are] as water
<04325>

spilt
<05064> (8737)

on the ground
<0776>_,

which cannot be gathered up again
<0622> (8735)_;

neither doth God
<0430>

respect
<05375> (8799)

[any] person
<05315>_:

yet doth he devise
<02803> (8804)

means
<04284>_,

that his banished
<05080> (8737)

be not expelled
<05080> (8799)

from him. {neither...: or, because God hath not taken away his life, he hath also devised means, etc}

14:15

Now therefore that I am come
<0935> (8804)

to speak
<01696> (8763)

of this thing
<01697>

unto my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

[it is] because the people
<05971>

have made me afraid
<03372> (8765)_:

and thy handmaid
<08198>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will now speak
<01696> (8762)

unto the king
<04428>_;

it may be that the king
<04428>

will perform
<06213> (8799)

the request
<01697>

of his handmaid
<0519>_.

14:16

For the king
<04428>

will hear
<08085> (8799)_,

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

his handmaid
<0519>

out of the hand
<03709>

of the man
<0376>

[that would] destroy
<08045> (8687)

me and my son
<01121>

together
<03162>

out of the inheritance
<05159>

of God
<0430>_.

14:17

Then thine handmaid
<08198>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

The word
<01697>

of my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

shall now be comfortable
<04496>_:

for as an angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>_,

so [is] my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

to discern
<08085> (8800)

good
<02896>

and bad
<07451>_:

therefore the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

will be with thee. {comfortable: Heb. for rest} {to discern: Heb. to hear}

14:18

Then the king
<04428>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the woman
<0802>_,

Hide
<03582> (8762)

not from me, I pray thee, the thing
<01697>

that I shall ask
<07592> (8802)

thee. And the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

now speak
<01696> (8762)_.

14:19

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is not] the hand
<03027>

of Joab
<03097>

with thee in all this? And the woman
<0802>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] thy soul
<05315>

liveth
<02416>_,

my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

none
<0376>

can
<0786>

turn to the right hand
<03231> (8687)

or to the left
<08041> (8687)

from ought that my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_:

for thy servant
<05650>

Joab
<03097>_,

he bade
<06680> (8765)

me, and he put
<07760> (8804)

all these words
<01697>

in the mouth
<06310>

of thine handmaid
<08198>_:

14:20

To
<05668>

fetch about
<05437> (8763)

this form
<06440>

of speech
<01697>

hath thy servant
<05650>

Joab
<03097>

done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_:

and my lord
<0113>

[is] wise
<02450>_,

according to the wisdom
<02451>

of an angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>_,

to know
<03045> (8800)

all [things] that [are] in the earth
<0776>_.

14:21

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joab
<03097>_,

Behold now, I have done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_:

go
<03212> (8798)

therefore, bring
<07725> (0)

the young man
<05288>

Absalom
<053>

again
<07725> (8685)_.

14:22

And Joab
<03097>

fell
<05307> (8799)

to the ground
<0776>

on his face
<06440>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself, and thanked
<01288> (8762)

the king
<04428>_:

and Joab
<03097>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

To day
<03117>

thy servant
<05650>

knoweth
<03045> (8804)

that I have found
<04672> (8804)

grace
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_,

my lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

in that the king
<04428>

hath fulfilled
<06213> (8804)

the request
<01697>

of his servant
<05650>_.

{thanked: Heb. blessed} {his servant: or, thy servant}

14:23

So Joab
<03097>

arose
<06965> (8799)

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Geshur
<01650>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

Absalom
<053>

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

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>_.
