2 Samuel 8:10

8:10 he ¹  sent his son Joram ²  to King David to extend his best wishes ³  and to pronounce a blessing on him for his victory over Hadadezer, for Toi had been at war with Hadadezer. ⁴  He brought with him various items made of silver, gold, and bronze. ⁵ 

2 Samuel 13:32

13:32 Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, said, “My lord should not say, ‘They have killed all the young men who are the king’s sons.’ For only Amnon is dead. This is what Absalom has talked about ⁶  from the day that Amnon ⁷  humiliated his sister Tamar.

2 Samuel 15:2

15:2 Now Absalom used to get up early and stand beside the road that led to the city gate. Whenever anyone came by who had a complaint to bring to the king for arbitration, Absalom would call out to him, “What city are you from?” The person would answer, “I, your servant, ⁸  am from one of the tribes of Israel.”

2 Samuel 19:35

19:35 I am presently eighty years old. Am I able to discern good and bad? Can I ⁹  taste what I eat and drink? Am I still able to hear the voices of male and female singers? Why should I ¹⁰  continue to be a burden to my lord the king?
