Now there was longH752 warH4421 between the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732: but DavidH1732 waxedH1980 strongerH2390 and strongerH2390, and the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 waxedH1980 weakerH1800 and weakerH1800.
And unto DavidH1732 were sonsH1121 bornH3205+H3205 in HebronH2275: and his firstbornH1060 was AmnonH550, of AhinoamH293 the JezreelitessH3159;
And his secondH4932, ChileabH3609, of AbigailH26 the wifeH802 of NabalH5037 the CarmeliteH3761; and the thirdH7992, AbsalomH53 the sonH1121 of MaacahH4601 the daughterH1323 of TalmaiH8526 kingH4428 of GeshurH1650; {Chileab: or, Daniel}
And the fourthH7243, AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294; and the fifthH2549, ShephatiahH8203 the sonH1121 of AbitalH37;
And the sixthH8345, IthreamH3507, by EglahH5698 David'sH1732 wifeH802. These were bornH3205 to DavidH1732 in HebronH2275.
And it came to pass, while there was warH4421 between the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, that AbnerH74 made himself strongH2388 for the houseH1004 of SaulH7586.
And SaulH7586 had a concubineH6370, whose nameH8034 was RizpahH7532, the daughterH1323 of AiahH345: and Ishbosheth saidH559 to AbnerH74, Wherefore hast thou gone inH935 unto my father'sH1 concubineH6370?
Then was AbnerH74 veryH3966 wrothH2734 for the wordsH1697 of IshboshethH378, and saidH559, Am I a dog'sH3611 headH7218, which against JudahH3063 do shewH6213 kindnessH2617 this dayH3117 unto the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 thy fatherH1, to his brethrenH251, and to his friendsH4828, and have not deliveredH4672 thee into the handH3027 of DavidH1732, that thou chargestH6485 me to dayH3117 with a faultH5771 concerning this womanH802?
So doH6213 GodH430 to AbnerH74, and more alsoH3254, except, as the LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 to DavidH1732, even so I doH6213 to him;
To translateH5674 the kingdomH4467 from the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, and to set upH6965 the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 over IsraelH3478 and over JudahH3063, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884.
And he couldH3201 not answerH7725 AbnerH74 a wordH1697 again, because he fearedH3372 him.
And AbnerH74 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732 on his behalf, sayingH559, Whose is the landH776? sayingH559 also, MakeH3772 thy leagueH1285 with me, and, behold, my handH3027 shall be with thee, to bring aboutH5437 all IsraelH3478 unto thee.
And he saidH559, WellH2896; I will makeH3772 a leagueH1285 with thee: but oneH259 thingH1697 I requireH7592 of thee, that isH559, Thou shalt not seeH7200 my faceH6440, except thou firstH6440 bringH935 MichalH4324 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323, when thou comestH935 to seeH7200 my faceH6440. {that is: Heb. saying}
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to IshboshethH378 Saul'sH7586 sonH1121, sayingH559, DeliverH5414 me my wifeH802 MichalH4324, which I espousedH781 to me for an hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And IshboshethH378 sentH7971, and tookH3947 her from her husbandH376, even from PhaltielH6409 the sonH1121 of LaishH3889+H3919.
And her husbandH376 wentH3212 with her along weepingH1980+H1058 behindH310 her to BahurimH980. Then saidH559 AbnerH74 unto him, GoH3212, returnH7725. And he returnedH7725. {along…: Heb. going and weeping}
And AbnerH74 had communicationH1961+H1697 with the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Ye soughtH1245 for DavidH1732 in timesH8543 pastH8032 to be kingH4428 over you: {in times…: Heb. both yesterday and the third day}
Now then doH6213 it: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH559 of DavidH1732, sayingH559, By the handH3027 of my servantH5650 DavidH1732 I will saveH3467 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430, and out of the handH3027 of all their enemiesH341.
And AbnerH74 also spakeH1696 in the earsH241 of BenjaminH1144: and AbnerH74 wentH3212 also to speakH1696 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732 in HebronH2275 all that seemedH5869 goodH2896 to IsraelH3478, and that seemed goodH5869 to the whole houseH1004 of BenjaminH1144.
So AbnerH74 cameH935 to DavidH1732 to HebronH2275, and twentyH6242 menH582 with him. And DavidH1732 madeH6213 AbnerH74 and the menH582 that were with him a feastH4960.
And AbnerH74 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, I will ariseH6965 and goH3212, and will gatherH6908 all IsraelH3478 unto my lordH113 the kingH4428, that they may makeH3772 a leagueH1285 with thee, and that thou mayest reignH4427 over all that thine heartH5315 desirethH183. And DavidH1732 sentH7971 AbnerH74 awayH7971; and he wentH3212 in peaceH7965.
And, behold, the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 and JoabH3097 cameH935 from pursuing a troopH1416, and brought inH935 a greatH7227 spoilH7998 with them: but AbnerH74 was not with DavidH1732 in HebronH2275; for he had sent him awayH7971, and he was goneH3212 in peaceH7965.
When JoabH3097 and all the hostH6635 that was with him were comeH935, they toldH5046 JoabH3097, sayingH559, AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and he hath sent him awayH7971, and he is goneH3212 in peaceH7965.
Then JoabH3097 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and saidH559, What hast thou doneH6213? behold, AbnerH74 cameH935 unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him awayH7971, and he is quiteH1980 goneH3212?
Thou knowestH3045 AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, that he cameH935 to deceiveH6601 thee, and to knowH3045 thy going outH4161 and thy coming inH4126+H3996, and to knowH3045 all that thou doestH6213.
And when JoabH3097 was come outH3318 from DavidH1732, he sentH7971 messengersH4397 afterH310 AbnerH74, which brought him againH7725 from the wellH953 of SirahH5626: but DavidH1732 knewH3045 it not.
And when AbnerH74 was returnedH7725 to HebronH2275, JoabH3097 took him asideH5186 inH413+H8432 the gateH8179 to speakH1696 with him quietlyH7987, and smoteH5221 him there under the fifthH2570 rib, that he diedH4191, for the bloodH1818 of AsahelH6214 his brotherH251. {quietly: or, peaceably}
And afterwardH310 when DavidH1732 heardH8085 it, he saidH559, I and my kingdomH4467 are guiltlessH5355 before the LORDH3068 forH5704 everH5769 from the bloodH1818 of AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369: {blood: Heb. bloods}
Let it restH2342 on the headH7218 of JoabH3097, and on all his father'sH1 houseH1004; and let there not failH3772 from the houseH1004 of JoabH3097 one that hath an issueH2100, or that is a leperH6879, or that leanethH2388 on a staffH6418, or that fallethH5307 on the swordH2719, or that lackethH2638 breadH3899. {fail: Heb. be cut off}
So JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 his brotherH251 slewH2026 AbnerH74, because he had slainH4191 their brotherH251 AsahelH6214 at GibeonH1391 in the battleH4421.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to JoabH3097, and to all the peopleH5971 that were with him, RendH7167 your clothesH899, and girdH2296 you with sackclothH8242, and mournH5594 beforeH6440 AbnerH74. And kingH4428 DavidH1732 himself followedH1980+H310 the bierH4296. {bier: Heb. bed}
And they buriedH6912 AbnerH74 in HebronH2275: and the kingH4428 lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058 at the graveH6913 of AbnerH74; and all the peopleH5971 weptH1058.
And the kingH4428 lamentedH6969 over AbnerH74, and saidH559, DiedH4191 AbnerH74 as a foolH5036 diethH4194?
Thy handsH3027 were not boundH631, nor thy feetH7272 putH5066 into fettersH5178: as a man fallethH5307 beforeH6440 wickedH5766 menH1121, so fellestH5307 thou. And all the peopleH5971 weptH1058 againH3254 over him. {wicked…: Heb. children of iniquity}
And when allH3605 the peopleH5971 cameH935 to causeH1262 DavidH1732 to eatH1262 meatH3899 while it was yetH5750 dayH3117, DavidH1732 swareH7650, sayingH559, So doH6213 GodH430 to me, and more alsoH3254, if I tasteH2938 breadH3899, or oughtH3972 else, tillH6440 the sunH8121 be downH935.
And all the peopleH5971 took noticeH5234 of it, and it pleasedH3190+H5869 them: as whatsoever the kingH4428 didH6213 pleasedH5869+H2896 all the peopleH5971. {pleased them: Heb. was good in their eyes}
For all the peopleH5971 and all IsraelH3478 understoodH3045 that dayH3117 that it was not of the kingH4428 to slayH4191 AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, KnowH3045 ye not that there is a princeH8269 and a great manH1419 fallenH5307 this dayH3117 in IsraelH3478?
And I am this dayH3117 weakH7390, though anointedH4886 kingH4428; and these menH582 the sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 be too hardH7186 for me: the LORDH3068 shall rewardH7999 the doer of evilH6213 according to his wickednessH7451. {weak: Heb. tender}

In that thou lovestH157 thine enemiesH8130, and hatestH8130 thy friendsH157. For thou hast declaredH5046 this dayH3117, that thou regardest neither princesH8269 nor servantsH5650: for this dayH3117 I perceiveH3045, that ifH3863 AbsalomH53 had livedH2416, and all we had diedH4191 this dayH3117, then it had pleased thee wellH3477+H5869. {in…: Heb. By loving, etc} {that thou regardest…: Heb. that princes or servants are not to thee}
Surely menH120+H1121 of low degree are vanityH1892, and menH376 of high degree are a lieH3577: to be laidH5927 in the balanceH3976, they are altogetherH3162 lighter than vanityH1892. {altogether: or, alike}
And AbnerH74 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, I will ariseH6965 and goH3212, and will gatherH6908 all IsraelH3478 unto my lordH113 the kingH4428, that they may makeH3772 a leagueH1285 with thee, and that thou mayest reignH4427 over all that thine heartH5315 desirethH183. And DavidH1732 sentH7971 AbnerH74 awayH7971; and he wentH3212 in peaceH7965.
And there happenedH7122 to be there a manH376 of BelialH1100, whose nameH8034 was ShebaH7652, the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, a BenjamiteH1145: and he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782, and saidH559, We have no partH2506 in DavidH1732, neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: everyH376 manH376 to his tentsH168, O IsraelH3478.
So every manH376 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 from afterH310 DavidH1732, and followedH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075: but the menH376 of JudahH3063 claveH1692 unto their kingH4428, from JordanH3383 even to JerusalemH3389.
And DavidH1732 cameH935 to his houseH1004 at JerusalemH3389; and the kingH4428 tookH3947 the tenH6235 womenH802 his concubinesH6370, whom he had leftH3240 to keepH8104 the houseH1004, and putH5414 them in wardH4931, and fedH3557 them, but went not inH935 unto them. So they were shut upH6887 unto the dayH3117 of their deathH4191, livingH2424 in widowhoodH491. {ward: Heb. an house of ward} {shut…: Heb. bound} {living…: Heb. in widowhood of life}
Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to AmasaH6021, AssembleH2199 me the menH376 of JudahH3063 within threeH7969 daysH3117, and be thou here presentH5975. {Assemble: Heb. Call}
So AmasaH6021 wentH3212 to assembleH2199 the men of JudahH3063: but he tarried longerH309+H3186 than the set timeH4150 which he had appointedH3259 him. {Assemble: Heb. Call}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, Now shall ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 do us more harmH3415 than did AbsalomH53: takeH3947 thou thy lord'sH113 servantsH5650, and pursueH7291 afterH310 him, lest he getH4672 him fencedH1219 citiesH5892, and escapeH5337 usH5869. {escape…: Heb. deliver himself from our eyes}
And there went outH3318 afterH310 him Joab'sH3097 menH582, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, and all the mighty menH1368: and they went outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, to pursueH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.
When they were at the greatH1419 stoneH68 which is in GibeonH1391, AmasaH6021 wentH935 beforeH6440 them. And Joab'sH3097 garmentH4055 that he had put onH3830 was girdedH2296 unto him, and upon it a girdleH2289 with a swordH2719 fastenedH6775 upon his loinsH4975 in the sheathH8593 thereof; and as he went forthH3318 it fell outH5307.
And JoabH3097 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, Art thou in healthH7965, my brotherH251? And JoabH3097 tookH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 with the rightH3225 handH3027 to kissH5401 him.
But AmasaH6021 took no heedH8104 to the swordH2719 that was in Joab'sH3097 handH3027: so he smoteH5221 him therewith in the fifthH2570 rib, and shed outH8210 his bowelsH4578 to the groundH776, and struck him not againH8138; and he diedH4191. So JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 his brotherH251 pursuedH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075. {struck…: Heb. doubled not his stroke}
And oneH376 of Joab'sH3097 menH5288 stoodH5975 by him, and saidH559, HeH4310 that favourethH2654 JoabH3097, and he that is for DavidH1732, let him go afterH310 JoabH3097.
And AmasaH6021 wallowedH1556 in bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of the highwayH4546. And when the manH376 sawH7200 that all the peopleH5971 stood stillH5975, he removedH5437 AmasaH6021 out of the highwayH4546 into the fieldH7704, and castH7993 a clothH899 upon him, when he sawH7200 that every one that cameH935 by him stood stillH5975.
When he was removedH3014 out of the highwayH4546, all the peopleH376 went onH5674 afterH310 JoabH3097, to pursueH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.
SoG2532 he calledG4341 everyG1538 oneG1520 of hisG1438 lord'sG2962 debtorsG5533 unto him, and saidG3004 unto the firstG4413, How muchG4214 owest thouG3784 unto myG3450 lordG2962?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, An hundredG1540 measuresG943 of oilG1637. AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4675 billG1121, andG2532 sit downG2523 quicklyG5030, and writeG1125 fiftyG4004. {measures: the word Batus in the original containeth nine gallons three quarts}
ThenG1899 said heG2036 to anotherG2087, AndG1161 how muchG4214 owestG3784 thouG4771? AndG1161 he saidG2036, An hundredG1540 measuresG2884 of wheatG4621. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4675 billG1121, andG2532 writeG1125 fourscoreG3589. {measures: the word here interpreted a measure in the original containeth about fourteen bushels and two quarts}
AndG2532 the lordG2962 commendedG1867 the unjustG93 stewardG3623, becauseG3754 he had doneG4160 wiselyG5430: forG3754 the childrenG5207 of thisG5127 worldG165 areG1526 inG1519 theirG1438 generationG1074 wiserG5429 thanG5228 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457.
And when AbnerH74 was returnedH7725 to HebronH2275, JoabH3097 took him asideH5186 inH413+H8432 the gateH8179 to speakH1696 with him quietlyH7987, and smoteH5221 him there under the fifthH2570 rib, that he diedH4191, for the bloodH1818 of AsahelH6214 his brotherH251. {quietly: or, peaceably}
Then cameH935 all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to DavidH1732 unto HebronH2275, and spakeH559, sayingH559, Behold, we are thy boneH6106 and thy fleshH1320.
Also in time pastH865+H8032, when SaulH7586 was kingH4428 over us, thou wast he that leddest outH3318 and broughtest inH935 IsraelH3478: and the LORDH3068 saidH559 to thee, Thou shalt feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and thou shalt be a captainH5057 over IsraelH3478.
So all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to the kingH4428 to HebronH2275; and kingH4428 DavidH1732 madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them in HebronH2275 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and they anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
And he bowedH5186 the heartH3824 of all the menH376 of JudahH3063, even as the heart of oneH259 manH376; so that they sentH7971 this word unto the kingH4428, ReturnH7725 thou, and all thy servantsH5650.
And, behold, all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Why have our brethrenH251 the menH376 of JudahH3063 stolen thee awayH1589, and have broughtH5674 the kingH4428, and his householdH1004, and all David'sH1732 menH582 with him, over JordanH3383?
And all the menH376 of JudahH3063 answeredH6030 the menH376 of IsraelH3478, Because the kingH4428 is near of kinH7138 to us: wherefore then be ye angryH2734 for this matterH1697? have we eatenH398 at allH398 of the king'sH4428 cost? or hath he givenH5375 us any giftH5379?
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 answeredH6030 the menH376 of JudahH3063, and saidH559, We have tenH6235 partsH3027 in the kingH4428, and weH589 have also more right in DavidH1732 than ye: why then did ye despiseH7043 us, that our adviceH1697 should not be firstH7223 had in bringing backH7725 our kingH4428? And the wordsH1697 of the menH376 of JudahH3063 were fiercerH7185 than the wordsH1697 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478. {despise…: Heb. set us at light}
And there happenedH7122 to be there a manH376 of BelialH1100, whose nameH8034 was ShebaH7652, the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, a BenjamiteH1145: and he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782, and saidH559, We have no partH2506 in DavidH1732, neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: everyH376 manH376 to his tentsH168, O IsraelH3478.
So every manH376 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 from afterH310 DavidH1732, and followedH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075: but the menH376 of JudahH3063 claveH1692 unto their kingH4428, from JordanH3383 even to JerusalemH3389.
Then all IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 themselves to DavidH1732 unto HebronH2275, sayingH559, Behold, we are thy boneH6106 and thy fleshH1320.
