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)

<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

19:17

And [there were] a thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

<07586>_,

and his fifteen
<02568> <06240>

<01121>

and his twenty
<06242>

<05650>

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

Jordan
<03383>

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

19:18

And there went over

a ferry boat

household
<01004>_,

and to do
<06213> (8800)

what he thought
<05869>

good
<02896>_.

And Shimei
<08096>

<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>_.

19:30

And Mephibosheth
<04648>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Yea, let him take
<03947> (8799)

all, forasmuch
<0310>

as
<0834>

my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

is come again
<0935> (8804)

in peace
<07965>

unto his own house
<01004>_.
