2 Samuel 19:23-43

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>_.

19:31

And Barzillai
<01271>

the Gileadite
<01569>

came down
<03381> (8804)

from Rogelim
<07274>_,

and went over
<05674> (8799)

Jordan
<03383>

with the king
<04428>_,

to conduct
<07971> (8763)

him over Jordan
<03383>_.

19:32

Now Barzillai
<01271>

was a very
<03966>

aged
<02204> (8804)

man, [even] fourscore
<08084>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_:

and he had provided the king
<04428>

of sustenance
<03557> (8773)

while he lay
<07871>

at Mahanaim
<04266>_;

for he [was] a very
<03966>

great
<01419>

man
<0376>_.

19:33

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Barzillai
<01271>_,

Come thou over
<05674> (8798)

with me, and I will feed
<03557> (8773)

thee with me in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

19:34

And Barzillai
<01271>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

How long
<03117>

have I to live
<08141> <02416>_,

that I should go up
<05927> (8799)

with the king
<04428>

unto Jerusalem
<03389>_?

{How...: Heb. How many days are the years of my life}

19:35

I [am] this day
<03117>

fourscore
<08084>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_:

[and] can I discern
<03045> (8799)

between good
<02896>

and evil
<07451>_?

can thy servant
<05650>

taste
<02938> (8799)

what
<0834>

I eat
<0398> (8799)

or what
<0834>

I drink
<08354> (8799)_?

can I hear
<08085> (8799)

any more the voice
<06963>

of singing men
<07891> (8802)

and singing women
<07891> (8802)_?

wherefore then should thy servant
<05650>

be yet a burden
<04853>

unto my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_?

19:36

Thy servant
<05650>

will go
<05674> (0)

a little way
<04592>

over
<05674> (8799)

Jordan
<03383>

with the king
<04428>_:

and why should the king
<04428>

recompense
<01580> (8799)

it me with such a reward
<01578>_?

19:37

Let thy servant
<05650>_,

I pray thee, turn back again
<07725> (8799)_,

that I may die
<04191> (8799)

in mine own city
<05892>_,

[and be buried] by the grave
<06913>

of my father
<01>

and of my mother
<0517>_.

But behold thy servant
<05650>

Chimham
<03643>_;

let him go over
<05674> (8799)

with my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_;

and do
<06213> (8798)

to him what shall seem good
<02896> <05869>

unto thee.

19:38

And the king
<04428>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Chimham
<03643>

shall go
<05674> (8799)

over with me, and I will do
<06213> (8799)

to him that which shall seem good
<02896> <05869>

unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require
<0977> (8799)

of me, [that] will I do
<06213> (8799)

for thee. {require: Heb. choose}

19:39

And all the people
<05971>

went over
<05674> (8799)

Jordan
<03383>_.

And when the king
<04428>

was come over
<05674> (8804)_,

the king
<04428>

kissed
<05401> (8799)

Barzillai
<01271>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

him; and he returned
<07725> (8799)

unto his own place
<04725>_.

19:40

Then the king
<04428>

went on
<05674> (8799)

to Gilgal
<01537>_,

and Chimham
<03643>

went on
<05674> (8804)

with him: and all the people
<05971>

of Judah
<03063>

conducted
<05674> (8689) (8675) <05674> (8686)

the king
<04428>_,

and also half
<02677>

the people
<05971>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{Chimham: Heb. Chimhan}

19:41

And, behold, all the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8802)

to the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Why have our brethren
<0251>

the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

stolen thee away
<01589> (8804)_,

and have brought
<05674> (8686)

the king
<04428>_,

and his household
<01004>_,

and all David's
<01732>

men
<0582>

with him, over Jordan
<03383>_?

19:42

And all the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Because the king
<04428>

[is] near of kin
<07138>

to us: wherefore then be ye angry
<02734> (8804)

for this matter
<01697>_?

have we eaten
<0398> (8804)

at all
<0398> (8800)

of the king's
<04428>

[cost]? or hath he given
<05375> (8765)

us any gift
<05379>_?

19:43

And the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

We have ten
<06235>

parts
<03027>

in the king
<04428>_,

and we
<0589>

have also more [right] in David
<01732>

than ye: why then did ye despise
<07043> (8689)

us, that our advice
<01697>

should not be first
<07223>

had in bringing back
<07725> (8687)

our king
<04428>_?

And the words
<01697>

of the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

were fiercer
<07185> (8799)

than the words
<01697>

of the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{despise...: Heb. set us at light}
