2 Samuel 3:1-32

Now there was long
<0752>
war
<04421>
between the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>
and the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_:
but David
<01732>
waxed
<01980> (8802)
stronger
<02390>
and stronger
<02390>_,
and the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>
waxed
<01980> (8802)
weaker
<01800>
and weaker
<01800>_.
And unto David
<01732>
were sons
<01121>
born
<03205> (8735) (8675) <03205> (8795)
in Hebron
<02275>_:
and his firstborn
<01060>
was Amnon
<0550>_,
of Ahinoam
<0293>
the Jezreelitess
<03159>_;
And his second
<04932>_,
Chileab
<03609>_,
of Abigail
<026>
the wife
<0802>
of Nabal
<05037>
the Carmelite
<03761>_;
and the third
<07992>_,
Absalom
<053>
the son
<01121>
of Maacah
<04601>
the daughter
<01323>
of Talmai
<08526>
king
<04428>
of Geshur
<01650>_;
{Chileab: or, Daniel}
And the fourth
<07243>_,
Adonijah
<0138>
the son
<01121>
of Haggith
<02294>_;
and the fifth
<02549>_,
Shephatiah
<08203>
the son
<01121>
of Abital
<037>_;
And the sixth
<08345>_,
Ithream
<03507>_,
by Eglah
<05698>
David's
<01732>
wife
<0802>_.
These were born
<03205> (8795)
to David
<01732>
in Hebron
<02275>_.
And it came to pass, while there was war
<04421>
between the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>
and the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_,
that Abner
<074>
made himself strong
<02388> (8693)
for the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>_.
And Saul
<07586>
had a concubine
<06370>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Rizpah
<07532>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Aiah
<0345>_:
and [Ishbosheth] said
<0559> (8799)
to Abner
<074>_,
Wherefore hast thou gone in
<0935> (8804)
unto my father's
<01>
concubine
<06370>_?
Then was Abner
<074>
very
<03966>
wroth
<02734> (8799)
for the words
<01697>
of Ishbosheth
<0378>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Am] I a dog's
<03611>
head
<07218>_,
which against Judah
<03063>
do shew
<06213> (8799)
kindness
<02617>
this day
<03117>
unto the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>
thy father
<01>_,
to his brethren
<0251>_,
and to his friends
<04828>_,
and have not delivered
<04672> (8689)
thee into the hand
<03027>
of David
<01732>_,
that thou chargest
<06485> (8799)
me to day
<03117>
with a fault
<05771>
concerning this woman
<0802>_?
So do
<06213> (8799)
God
<0430>
to Abner
<074>_,
and more also
<03254> (8686)_,
except, as the LORD
<03068>
hath sworn
<07650> (8738)
to David
<01732>_,
even so I do
<06213> (8799)
to him;
To translate
<05674> (8687)
the kingdom
<04467>
from the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>_,
and to set up
<06965> (8687)
the throne
<03678>
of David
<01732>
over Israel
<03478>
and over Judah
<03063>_,
from Dan
<01835>
even to Beersheba
<0884>_.
And he could
<03201> (8804)
not answer
<07725> (8687)
Abner
<074>
a word
<01697>
again, because he feared
<03372> (8800)
him.
And Abner
<074>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
to David
<01732>
on his behalf, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Whose [is] the land
<0776>_?
saying
<0559> (8800)
[also], Make
<03772> (8798)
thy league
<01285>
with me, and, behold, my hand
<03027>
[shall be] with thee, to bring about
<05437> (8687)
all Israel
<03478>
unto thee.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Well
<02896>_;
I will make
<03772> (8799)
a league
<01285>
with thee: but one
<0259>
thing
<01697>
I require
<07592> (8802)
of thee, that is
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou shalt not see
<07200> (8799)
my face
<06440>_,
except thou first
<06440>
bring
<0935> (8687)
Michal
<04324>
Saul's
<07586>
daughter
<01323>_,
when thou comest
<0935> (8800)
to see
<07200> (8800)
my face
<06440>_.
{that is: Heb. saying}
And David
<01732>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
to Ishbosheth
<0378>
Saul's
<07586>
son
<01121>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Deliver
<05414> (8798)
[me] my wife
<0802>
Michal
<04324>_,
which I espoused
<0781> (8765)
to me for an hundred
<03967>
foreskins
<06190>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
And Ishbosheth
<0378>
sent
<07971> (8799)_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
her from [her] husband
<0376>_,
[even] from Phaltiel
<06409>
the son
<01121>
of Laish
<03889> (8675) <03919>_.
{Phaltiel: also called, Phalti}
And her husband
<0376>
went
<03212> (8799)
with her along weeping
<01980> (8800) <01058> (8800)
behind
<0310>
her to Bahurim
<0980>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Abner
<074>
unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,
return
<07725> (8798)_.
And he returned
<07725> (8799)_.
{along...: Heb. going and weeping}
And Abner
<074>
had communication
<01961> (8804) <01697>
with the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye sought
<01245> (8764)
for David
<01732>
in times
<08543>
past
<08032>
[to be] king
<04428>
over you: {in times...: Heb. both yesterday and the third day}
Now then do
<06213> (8798)
[it]: for the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<0559> (8804)
of David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
By the hand
<03027>
of my servant
<05650>
David
<01732>
I will save
<03467> (8687)
my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>
out of the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and out of the hand
<03027>
of all their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
And Abner
<074>
also spake
<01696> (8762)
in the ears
<0241>
of Benjamin
<01144>_:
and Abner
<074>
went
<03212> (8799)
also to speak
<01696> (8763)
in the ears
<0241>
of David
<01732>
in Hebron
<02275>
all that seemed
<05869>
good
<02896>
to Israel
<03478>_,
and that seemed good
<05869>
to the whole house
<01004>
of Benjamin
<01144>_.
So Abner
<074>
came
<0935> (8799)
to David
<01732>
to Hebron
<02275>_,
and twenty
<06242>
men
<0582>
with him. And David
<01732>
made
<06213> (8799)
Abner
<074>
and the men
<0582>
that [were] with him a feast
<04960>_.
And Abner
<074>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>_,
I will arise
<06965> (8799)
and go
<03212> (8799)_,
and will gather
<06908> (8799)
all Israel
<03478>
unto my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>_,
that they may make
<03772> (8799)
a league
<01285>
with thee, and that thou mayest reign
<04427> (8804)
over all that thine heart
<05315>
desireth
<0183> (8762)_.
And David
<01732>
sent
<07971> (0)
Abner
<074>
away
<07971> (8762)_;
and he went
<03212> (8799)
in peace
<07965>_.
And, behold, the servants
<05650>
of David
<01732>
and Joab
<03097>
came
<0935> (8802)
from [pursuing] a troop
<01416>_,
and brought in
<0935> (8689)
a great
<07227>
spoil
<07998>
with them: but Abner
<074>
[was] not with David
<01732>
in Hebron
<02275>_;
for he had sent him away
<07971> (8765)_,
and he was gone
<03212> (8799)
in peace
<07965>_.
When Joab
<03097>
and all the host
<06635>
that [was] with him were come
<0935> (8804)_,
they told
<05046> (8686)
Joab
<03097>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>
came
<0935> (8804)
to the king
<04428>_,
and he hath sent him away
<07971> (8762)_,
and he is gone
<03212> (8799)
in peace
<07965>_.
Then Joab
<03097>
came
<0935> (8799)
to the king
<04428>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)_?
behold, Abner
<074>
came
<0935> (8802)
unto thee; why [is] it [that] thou hast sent him away
<07971> (8765)_,
and he is quite
<01980> (8800)
gone
<03212> (8799)_?
Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_,
that he came
<0935> (8804)
to deceive
<06601> (8763)
thee, and to know
<03045> (8800)
thy going out
<04161>
and thy coming in
<04126> (8675) <03996>_,
and to know
<03045> (8800)
all that thou doest
<06213> (8802)_.
And when Joab
<03097>
was come out
<03318> (8799)
from David
<01732>_,
he sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
after
<0310>
Abner
<074>_,
which brought him again
<07725> (8686)
from the well
<0953>
of Sirah
<05626>_:
but David
<01732>
knew
<03045> (8804)
[it] not.
And when Abner
<074>
was returned
<07725> (8799)
to Hebron
<02275>_,
Joab
<03097>
took him aside
<05186> (8686)
in
<0413> <08432>
the gate
<08179>
to speak
<01696> (8763)
with him quietly
<07987>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
him there under the fifth
<02570>
[rib], that he died
<04191> (8799)_,
for the blood
<01818>
of Asahel
<06214>
his brother
<0251>_.
{quietly: or, peaceably}
And afterward
<0310>
when David
<01732>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[it], he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I and my kingdom
<04467>
[are] guiltless
<05355>
before the LORD
<03068>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>
from the blood
<01818>
of Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_:
{blood: Heb. bloods}
Let it rest
<02342> (8799)
on the head
<07218>
of Joab
<03097>_,
and on all his father's
<01>
house
<01004>_;
and let there not fail
<03772> (8735)
from the house
<01004>
of Joab
<03097>
one that hath an issue
<02100> (8802)_,
or that is a leper
<06879> (8794)_,
or that leaneth
<02388> (8688)
on a staff
<06418>_,
or that falleth
<05307> (8802)
on the sword
<02719>_,
or that lacketh
<02638>
bread
<03899>_.
{fail: Heb. be cut off}
So Joab
<03097>
and Abishai
<052>
his brother
<0251>
slew
<02026> (8804)
Abner
<074>_,
because he had slain
<04191> (8689)
their brother
<0251>
Asahel
<06214>
at Gibeon
<01391>
in the battle
<04421>_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Joab
<03097>_,
and to all the people
<05971>
that [were] with him, Rend
<07167> (8798)
your clothes
<0899>_,
and gird
<02296> (8798)
you with sackcloth
<08242>_,
and mourn
<05594> (8798)
before
<06440>
Abner
<074>_.
And king
<04428>
David
<01732>
[himself] followed
<01980> (8802) <0310>
the bier
<04296>_.
{bier: Heb. bed}
And they buried
<06912> (8799)
Abner
<074>
in Hebron
<02275>_:
and the king
<04428>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his voice
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)
at the grave
<06913>
of Abner
<074>_;
and all the people
<05971>
wept
<01058> (8799)_.
