2 Samuel 2:1-21

2:1

And it came to pass after this
<0310>_,

that David
<01732>

enquired
<07592> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I go up
<05927> (8799)

into any
<0259>

of the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_?

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go up
<05927> (8798)_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Whither shall I go up
<05927> (8799)_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Unto Hebron
<02275>_.

2:2

So David
<01732>

went up
<05927> (8799)

thither, and his two
<08147>

wives
<0802>

also, Ahinoam
<0293>

the Jezreelitess
<03159>_,

and Abigail
<026>

Nabal's
<05037>

wife
<0802>

the Carmelite
<03761>_.

2:3

And his men
<0582>

that [were] with him did David
<01732>

bring up
<05927> (8689)_,

every man
<0376>

with his household
<01004>_:

and they dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the cities
<05892>

of Hebron
<02275>_.

2:4

And the men
<0582>

of Judah
<03063>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

and there they anointed
<04886> (8799)

David
<01732>

king
<04428>

over the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_.

And they told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[That] the men
<0582>

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>

[were they] that buried
<06912> (8804)

Saul
<07586>_.

2:5

And David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto the men
<0582>

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] ye of the LORD
<03068>_,

that ye have shewed
<06213> (8804)

this kindness
<02617>

unto your lord
<0113>_,

[even] unto Saul
<07586>_,

and have buried
<06912> (8799)

him.

2:6

And now the LORD
<03068>

shew
<06213> (8799)

kindness
<02617>

and truth
<0571>

unto you: and I also will requite
<06213> (8799)

you this kindness
<02896>_,

because ye have done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_.

2:7

Therefore now let your hands
<03027>

be strengthened
<02388> (8799)_,

and be ye valiant
<01121> <02428>_:

for your master
<0113>

Saul
<07586>

is dead
<04191> (8804)_,

and also the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

have anointed
<04886> (8804)

me king
<04428>

over them. {be ye...: Heb. be ye the sons of valour}

2:8

But Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>_,

captain
<08269>

of Saul's
<07586>

host
<06635>_,

took
<03947> (8804)

Ishbosheth
<0378>

the son
<01121>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and brought him over
<05674> (8686)

to Mahanaim
<04266>_;

{Saul's host: Heb. the host which was Saul's} {Ishbosheth: or, Eshbaal}

2:9

And made him king
<04427> (8686)

over Gilead
<01568>_,

and over the Ashurites
<0805>_,

and over Jezreel
<03157>_,

and over Ephraim
<0669>_,

and over Benjamin
<01144>_,

and over all Israel
<03478>_.

2:10

Ishbosheth
<0378>

Saul's
<07586>

son
<01121>

[was] forty
<0705>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)

over Israel
<03478>_,

and reigned
<04427> (8804)

two
<08147>

years
<08141>_.

But the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

followed
<0310>

David
<01732>_.

2:11

And the time
<04557> <03117>

that David
<01732>

was king
<04428>

in Hebron
<02275>

over the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

was seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

and six
<08337>

months
<02320>_.

{time: Heb. number of days}

2:12

And Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>_,

and the servants
<05650>

of Ishbosheth
<0378>

the son
<01121>

of Saul
<07586>_,

went out
<03318> (8799)

from Mahanaim
<04266>

to Gibeon
<01391>_.

2:13

And Joab
<03097>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>_,

and the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>_,

went out
<03318> (8804)_,

and met
<06298> (8799)

together
<03162>

by the pool
<01295>

of Gibeon
<01391>_:

and they sat down
<03427> (8799)_,

the one on the one side of the pool
<01295>_,

and the other on the other side of the pool
<01295>_.

{together: Heb. them together}

2:14

And Abner
<074>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Joab
<03097>_,

Let the young men
<05288>

now arise
<06965> (8799)_,

and play
<07832> (8762)

before
<06440>

us. And Joab
<03097>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let them arise
<06965> (8799)_.

2:15

Then there arose
<06965> (8799)

and went over
<05674> (8799)

by number
<04557>

twelve
<08147> <06240>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

which [pertained] to Ishbosheth
<0378>

the son
<01121>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and twelve
<08147> <06240>

of the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>_.

2:16

And they caught
<02388> (8686)

every one
<0376>

his fellow
<07453>

by the head
<07218>_,

and [thrust] his sword
<02719>

in his fellow's
<07453>

side
<06654>_;

so they fell down
<05307> (8799)

together
<03162>_:

wherefore that place
<04725>

was called
<07121> (8799)

Helkathhazzurim
<02521>_,

which [is] in Gibeon
<01391>_.

{Helkathhazzurim: that is, The field of strong men}

2:17

And there was a very
<03966>

sore
<07186>

battle
<04421>

that day
<03117>_;

and Abner
<074>

was beaten
<05062> (8735)_,

and the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>_,

before
<06440>

the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>_.

2:18

And there were three
<07969>

sons
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

there, Joab
<03097>_,

and Abishai
<052>_,

and Asahel
<06214>_:

and Asahel
<06214>

[was as] light
<07031>

of foot
<07272>

as a
<0259>

wild
<07704>

roe
<06643>_.

{of foot: Heb. of his feet} {as a wild...: Heb. as one of the roes that is in the field}

2:19

And Asahel
<06214>

pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

Abner
<074>_;

and in going
<03212> (8800)

he turned
<05186> (8804)

not to the right hand
<03225>

nor to the left
<08040>

from following
<0310>

Abner
<074>_.

{from...: Heb. from after Abner}

2:20

Then Abner
<074>

looked
<06437> (8799)

behind
<0310>

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

[Art] thou Asahel
<06214>_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am].

2:21

And Abner
<074>

said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Turn thee aside
<05186> (8798)

to thy right hand
<03225>

or to thy left
<08040>_,

and lay thee hold
<0270> (8798)

on one
<0259>

of the young men
<05288>_,

and take
<03947> (8798)

thee his armour
<02488>_.

But Asahel
<06214>

would
<014> (8804)

not turn aside
<05493> (8800)

from following
<0310>

of him. {armour: or, spoil}
