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}

And JudahH3063 spakeH559 unto him, sayingH559, The manH376 did solemnlyH5749 protestH5749 unto us, sayingH559, Ye shall not seeH7200 my faceH6440, exceptH1115 your brotherH251 be with you. {did…: Heb. protesting protested}
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.
And thou saidstH559 unto thy servantsH5650, ExceptH3808 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 come downH3381 with you, ye shall seeH7200+H3254 my faceH6440 no moreH7200+H3254.
And MichalH4324 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 DavidH1732: and they toldH5046 SaulH7586, and the thingH1697 pleasedH3474+H5869 him. {pleased him: Heb. was right in his eyes}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, I will giveH5414 him her, that she may be a snareH4170 to him, and that the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 may be against him. Wherefore SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou shalt this dayH3117 be my son in lawH2859 in the one of the twainH8147.
And SaulH7586 commandedH6680 his servantsH5650, saying, CommuneH1696 with DavidH1732 secretlyH3909, and sayH559, Behold, the kingH4428 hath delightH2654 in thee, and all his servantsH5650 loveH157 thee: now therefore be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859.
And Saul'sH7586 servantsH5650 spakeH1696 those wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 saidH559, SeemethH5869 it to you a lightH7043 thing to be a king'sH4428 son in lawH2859, seeing that I am a poorH7326 manH376, and lightly esteemedH7034?
And the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, On this mannerH1697 spakeH1696 DavidH1732. {On…: Heb. According to these words}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, Thus shall ye sayH559 to DavidH1732, The kingH4428 desirethH2656 not any dowryH4119, but an hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the PhilistinesH6430, to be avengedH5358 of the king'sH4428 enemiesH341. But SaulH7586 thoughtH2803 to make DavidH1732 fallH5307 by the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And when his servantsH5650 toldH5046 DavidH1732 these wordsH1697, it pleasedH3474+H1697+H5869 DavidH1732 well to be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859: and the daysH3117 were not expiredH4390. {expired: Heb. fulfilled}
Wherefore DavidH1732 aroseH6965 and wentH3212, he and his menH582, and slewH5221 of the PhilistinesH6430 two hundredH3967 menH376; and DavidH1732 broughtH935 their foreskinsH6190, and they gave them in full taleH4390 to the kingH4428, that he might be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859. And SaulH7586 gaveH5414 him MichalH4324 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802.
And SaulH7586 sawH7200 and knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 was with DavidH1732, and that MichalH4324 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 him.
And we saidH559, We cannotH3201 go downH3381: if our youngestH6996 brotherH251 beH3426 with us, then will we go downH3381: for we mayH3201 not seeH7200 the man'sH376 faceH6440, exceptH369 our youngestH6996 brotherH251 be with us.
SaulH7586 also sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto David'sH1732 houseH1004, to watchH8104 him, and to slayH4191 him in the morningH1242: and MichalH4324 David'sH1732 wifeH802 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, If thou saveH4422 not thy lifeH5315 to nightH3915, to morrowH4279 thou shalt be slainH4191.
So MichalH4324 letH3381 DavidH1732 downH3381 through a windowH2474: and he wentH3212, and fledH1272, and escapedH4422.
And MichalH4324 tookH3947 an imageH8655, and laidH7760 it in the bedH4296, and putH7760 a pillowH3523 of goats'H5795 hair for his bolsterH4763, and coveredH3680 it with a clothH899. {image: Heb. teraphim}
And when SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to takeH3947 DavidH1732, she saidH559, He is sickH2470.
And SaulH7586 sentH7971 the messengersH4397 again to seeH7200 DavidH1732, sayingH559, Bring him upH5927 to me in the bedH4296, that I may slayH4191 him.
And when the messengersH4397 were come inH935, behold, there was an imageH8655 in the bedH4296, with a pillowH3523 of goats'H5795 hair for his bolsterH4763.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto MichalH4324, Why hast thou deceived me soH7411, and sent awayH7971 mine enemyH341, that he is escapedH4422? And MichalH4324 answeredH559 SaulH7586, He saidH559 unto me, Let me goH7971; why should I killH4191 thee?
And it came to pass, as the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 to the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, that MichalH4324 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 looking outH8259 at a windowH2474 sawH7200 kingH4428 DavidH1732 dancingH7540 and playingH7832: and she despisedH959 him in her heartH3820.
