2 Samuel 19:4-7

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}
