2 Samuel 19:1-14

19:1

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Joab
<03097>_,

Behold, the king
<04428>

weepeth
<01058> (8802)

and mourneth
<056> (8691)

for Absalom
<053>_.

19:2

And the victory
<08668>

that day
<03117>

was [turned] into mourning
<060>

unto all the people
<05971>_:

for the people
<05971>

heard
<08085> (8804)

say
<0559> (8800)

that day
<03117>

how the king
<04428>

was grieved
<06087> (8738)

for his son
<01121>_.

{victory: Heb. salvation, or, deliverance}

19:3

And the people
<05971>

gat
<0935> (8800)

them by stealth
<01589> (8691)

that day
<03117>

into the city
<05892>_,

as people
<05971>

being ashamed
<03637> (8737)

steal away
<01589> (8691)

when they flee
<05127> (8800)

in battle
<04421>_.

19:4

But the king
<04428>

covered
<03813> (8804)

his face
<06440>_,

and the king
<04428>

cried
<02199> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>_,

O my son
<01121>

Absalom
<053>_,

O Absalom
<053>_,

my son
<01121>_,

my son
<01121>_!

19:5

And Joab
<03097>

came
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

to the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou hast shamed
<03001> (8689)

this day
<03117>

the faces
<06440>

of all thy servants
<05650>_,

which this day
<03117>

have saved
<04422> (8764)

thy life
<05315>_,

and the lives
<05315>

of thy sons
<01121>

and of thy daughters
<01323>_,

and the lives
<05315>

of thy wives
<0802>_,

and the lives
<05315>

of thy concubines
<06370>_;

19:6

In that thou lovest
<0157> (8800)

thine enemies
<08130> (8802)_,

and hatest
<08130> (8800)

thy friends
<0157> (8802)_.

For thou hast declared
<05046> (8689)

this day
<03117>_,

that thou regardest neither princes
<08269>

nor servants
<05650>_:

for this day
<03117>

I perceive
<03045> (8804)_,

that if
<03863>

Absalom
<053>

had lived
<02416>_,

and all we had died
<04191> (8801)

this day
<03117>_,

then it had pleased thee well
<03477> <05869>_.

{in...: Heb. By loving, etc} {that thou regardest...: Heb. that princes or servants are not to thee}

19:7

Now therefore arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go forth
<03318> (8798)_,

and speak
<01696> (8761)

comfortably
<03820>

unto thy servants
<05650>_:

for I swear
<07650> (8738)

by the LORD
<03068>_,

if thou go not forth
<03318> (8802)_,

there will not tarry
<03885> (8799)

one
<0376>

with thee this night
<03915>_:

and that will be worse
<07489> (8804)

unto thee than all the evil
<07451>

that befell
<0935> (8804)

thee from thy youth
<05271>

until now. {comfortably...: Heb. to the heart of thy servants}

19:8

Then the king
<04428>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

in the gate
<08179>_.

And they told
<05046> (8689)

unto all the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, the king
<04428>

doth sit
<03427> (8802)

in the gate
<08179>_.

And all the people
<05971>

came
<0935> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_:

for Israel
<03478>

had fled
<05127> (8804)

every man
<0376>

to his tent
<0168>_.

19:9

And all the people
<05971>

were at strife
<01777> (8737)

throughout all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The king
<04428>

saved
<05337> (8689)

us out of the hand
<03709>

of our enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and he delivered
<04422> (8765)

us out of the hand
<03709>

of the Philistines
<06430>_;

and now he is fled
<01272> (8804)

out of the land
<0776>

for Absalom
<053>_.

19:10

And Absalom
<053>_,

whom we anointed
<04886> (8804)

over us, is dead
<04191> (8804)

in battle
<04421>_.

Now therefore why speak
<02790> (8688)

ye not a word of bringing
<07725> (0)

the king
<04428>

back
<07725> (8687)_?

{speak...: Heb. are ye silent?}

19:11

And king
<04428>

David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8804)

to Zadok
<06659>

and to Abiathar
<054>

the priests
<03548>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Speak
<01696> (8761)

unto the elders
<02205>

of Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Why are ye the last
<0314>

to bring
<07725> (0)

the king
<04428>

back
<07725> (8687)

to his house
<01004>_?

seeing the speech
<01697>

of all Israel
<03478>

is come
<0935> (8804)

to the king
<04428>_,

[even] to his house
<01004>_.

19:12

Ye [are] my brethren
<0251>_,

ye [are] my bones
<06106>

and my flesh
<01320>_:

wherefore then are ye the last
<0314>

to bring back
<07725> (8687)

the king
<04428>_?

19:13

And say
<0559> (8799)

ye to Amasa
<06021>_,

[Art] thou not of my bone
<06106>_,

and of my flesh
<01320>_?

God
<0430>

do
<06213> (8799)

so to me, and more
<03254> (8686)

also, if thou be not captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>

before
<06440>

me continually
<03117>

in the room
<08478>

of Joab
<03097>_.

19:14

And he bowed
<05186> (8686)

the heart
<03824>

of all the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>_,

even as [the heart of] one
<0259>

man
<0376>_;

so that they sent
<07971> (8799)

[this word] unto the king
<04428>_,

Return
<07725> (8798)

thou, and all thy servants
<05650>_.
