2 Samuel 19:1-29

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>_.

19:15

So the king
<04428>

returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jordan
<03383>_.

And Judah
<03063>

came
<0935> (8804)

to Gilgal
<01537>_,

to go
<03212> (8800)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

the king
<04428>_,

to conduct
<05674> (0)

the king
<04428>

over
<05674> (8687)

Jordan
<03383>_.

19:16

And Shimei
<08096>

the son
<01121>

of Gera
<01617>_,

a Benjamite
<01145>_,

which [was] of Bahurim
<0980>_,

hasted
<04116> (8762)

and came down
<03381> (8799)

with the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

king
<04428>

David
<01732>_.

19:17

And [there were] a thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

of Benjamin
<01145>

with him, and Ziba
<06717>

the servant
<05288>

of the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and his fifteen
<02568> <06240>

sons
<01121>

and his twenty
<06242>

servants
<05650>

with him; and they went over
<06743> (8804)

Jordan
<03383>

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

19:18

And there went over
<05674> (8804)

a ferry boat
<05679>

to carry over
<05674> (8687)

the king's
<04428>

household
<01004>_,

and to do
<06213> (8800)

what he thought
<05869>

good
<02896>_.

And Shimei
<08096>

the son
<01121>

of Gera
<01617>

fell down
<05307> (8804)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

as he was come over
<05674> (8800)

Jordan
<03383>_;

{what...: Heb. the good in his eyes}

19:19

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Let not my lord
<0113>

impute
<02803> (8799)

iniquity
<05771>

unto me, neither do thou remember
<02142> (8799)

that which thy servant
<05650>

did perversely
<05753> (8689)

the day
<03117>

that my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

went out
<03318> (8804)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

that the king
<04428>

should take
<07760> (8800)

it to his heart
<03820>_.

19:20

For thy servant
<05650>

doth know
<03045> (8804)

that I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:

therefore, behold, I am come
<0935> (8804)

the first
<07223>

this day
<03117>

of all the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>

to go down
<03381> (8800)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_.

19:21

But Abishai
<052>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Shall not Shimei
<08096>

be put to death
<04191> (8714)

for this, because he cursed
<07043> (8765)

the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_?

19:22

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What have I to do with you, ye sons
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>_,

that ye should this day
<03117>

be adversaries
<07854>

unto me? shall there any man
<0376>

be put to death
<04191> (8714)

this day
<03117>

in Israel
<03478>_?

for do not I know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] this day
<03117>

king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_?

19:23

Therefore the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Shimei
<08096>_,

Thou shalt not die
<04191> (8799)_.

And the king
<04428>

sware
<07650> (8735)

unto him.

19:24

And Mephibosheth
<04648>

the son
<01121>

of Saul
<07586>

came down
<03381> (8804)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

the king
<04428>_,

and had neither
<03808>

dressed
<06213> (8804)

his feet
<07272>_,

nor trimmed
<06213> (8804)

his beard
<08222>_,

nor washed
<03526> (8765)

his clothes
<0899>_,

from the day
<03117>

the king
<04428>

departed
<03212> (8800)

until the day
<03117>

he came
<0935> (8804)

[again] in peace
<07965>_.

19:25

And it came to pass, when he was come
<0935> (8804)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

the king
<04428>_,

that the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Wherefore wentest
<01980> (8804)

not thou with me, Mephibosheth
<04648>_?

19:26

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

My lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

my servant
<05650>

deceived
<07411> (8765)

me: for thy servant
<05650>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

I will saddle
<02280> (8799)

me an ass
<02543>_,

that I may ride
<07392> (8799)

thereon, and go
<03212> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_;

because thy servant
<05650>

[is] lame
<06455>_.

19:27

And he hath slandered
<07270> (8762)

thy servant
<05650>

unto my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_;

but my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

[is] as an angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>_:

do
<06213> (8798)

therefore [what is] good
<02896>

in thine eyes
<05869>_.

19:28

For all [of] my father's
<01>

house
<01004>

were but
<03808>

dead
<04194>

men
<0582>

before my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_:

yet didst thou set
<07896> (8799)

thy servant
<05650>

among them that did eat
<0398> (8802)

at thine own table
<07979>_.

What right
<06666>

therefore have
<03426>

I yet to cry
<02199> (8800)

any more unto the king
<04428>_?

{dead...: Heb. men of death}

19:29

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why speakest
<01696> (8762)

thou any more of thy matters
<01697>_?

I have said
<0559> (8804)_,

Thou and Ziba
<06717>

divide
<02505> (8799)

the land
<07704>_.
