2 Samuel 19:6

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}

2 Samuel 20:1-13

20:1

And there happened
<07122> (8738)

to be there a man
<0376>

of Belial
<01100>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Sheba
<07652>_,

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>_,

a Benjamite
<01145>_:

and he blew
<08628> (8799)

a trumpet
<07782>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

We have no part
<02506>

in David
<01732>_,

neither have we inheritance
<05159>

in the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_:

every
<0376>

man
<0376>

to his tents
<0168>_,

O Israel
<03478>_.

20:2

So every man
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

went up
<05927> (8799)

from after
<0310>

David
<01732>_,

[and] followed
<0310>

Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>_:

but the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

clave
<01692> (8804)

unto their king
<04428>_,

from Jordan
<03383>

even to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

20:3

And David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

to his house
<01004>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and the king
<04428>

took
<03947> (8799)

the ten
<06235>

women
<0802>

[his] concubines
<06370>_,

whom he had left
<03240> (8689)

to keep
<08104> (8800)

the house
<01004>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

them in ward
<04931>_,

and fed
<03557> (8770)

them, but went not in
<0935> (8804)

unto them. So they were shut up
<06887> (8803)

unto the day
<03117>

of their death
<04191> (8800)_,

living
<02424>

in widowhood
<0491>_.

{ward: Heb. an house of ward} {shut...: Heb. bound} {living...: Heb. in widowhood of life}

20:4

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the king
<04428>

to Amasa
<06021>_,

Assemble
<02199> (8685)

me the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

within three
<07969>

days
<03117>_,

and be thou here present
<05975> (8798)_.

{Assemble: Heb. Call}

20:5

So Amasa
<06021>

went
<03212> (8799)

to assemble
<02199> (8687)

[the men of] Judah
<03063>_:

but he tarried longer
<0309> (8799) (8675) <03186> (8799)

than the set time
<04150>

which he had appointed
<03259> (8804)

him. {Assemble: Heb. Call}

20:6

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Abishai
<052>_,

Now shall Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>

do us more harm
<03415> (8799)

than [did] Absalom
<053>_:

take
<03947> (8798)

thou thy lord's
<0113>

servants
<05650>_,

and pursue
<07291> (8798)

after
<0310>

him, lest he get
<04672> (8804)

him fenced
<01219> (8803)

cities
<05892>_,

and escape
<05337> (8689)

us
<05869>_.

{escape...: Heb. deliver himself from our eyes}

20:7

And there went out
<03318> (8799)

after
<0310>

him Joab's
<03097>

men
<0582>_,

and the Cherethites
<03774>_,

and the Pelethites
<06432>_,

and all the mighty men
<01368>_:

and they went out
<03318> (8799)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to pursue
<07291> (8800)

after
<0310>

Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>_.

20:8

When they [were] at the great
<01419>

stone
<068>

which [is] in Gibeon
<01391>_,

Amasa
<06021>

went
<0935> (8804)

before
<06440>

them. And Joab's
<03097>

garment
<04055>

that he had put on
<03830>

was girded
<02296> (8803)

unto him, and upon it a girdle
<02289>

[with] a sword
<02719>

fastened
<06775> (8794)

upon his loins
<04975>

in the sheath
<08593>

thereof; and as he went forth
<03318> (8804)

it fell out
<05307> (8799)_.

20:9

And Joab
<03097>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Amasa
<06021>_,

[Art] thou in health
<07965>_,

my brother
<0251>_?

And Joab
<03097>

took
<0270> (8799)

Amasa
<06021>

by the beard
<02206>

with the right
<03225>

hand
<03027>

to kiss
<05401> (8800)

him.

20:10

But Amasa
<06021>

took no heed
<08104> (8738)

to the sword
<02719>

that [was] in Joab's
<03097>

hand
<03027>_:

so he smote
<05221> (8686)

him therewith in the fifth
<02570>

[rib], and shed out
<08210> (8799)

his bowels
<04578>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and struck him not again
<08138> (8804)_;

and he died
<04191> (8799)_.

So Joab
<03097>

and Abishai
<052>

his brother
<0251>

pursued
<07291> (8804)

after
<0310>

Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>_.

{struck...: Heb. doubled not his stroke}

20:11

And one
<0376>

of Joab's
<03097>

men
<05288>

stood
<05975> (8804)

by him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

He
<04310>

that favoureth
<02654> (8804)

Joab
<03097>_,

and he that [is] for David
<01732>_,

[let him go] after
<0310>

Joab
<03097>_.

20:12

And Amasa
<06021>

wallowed
<01556> (8706)

in blood
<01818>

in the midst
<08432>

of the highway
<04546>_.

And when the man
<0376>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that all the people
<05971>

stood still
<05975> (8804)_,

he removed
<05437> (8686)

Amasa
<06021>

out of the highway
<04546>

into the field
<07704>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

a cloth
<0899>

upon him, when he saw
<07200> (8804)

that every one that came
<0935> (8802)

by him stood still
<05975> (8804)_.

20:13

When he was removed
<03014> (8689)

out of the highway
<04546>_,

all the people
<0376>

went on
<05674> (8804)

after
<0310>

Joab
<03097>_,

to pursue
<07291> (8800)

after
<0310>

Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>_.
