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 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 the princesH8269 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 saidH559 unto HanunH2586 their lordH113, ThinkestH5869 thou that DavidH1732 doth honourH3513 thy fatherH1, that he hath sentH7971 comfortersH5162 unto thee? hath not DavidH1732 rather sentH7971 his servantsH5650 unto thee, toH5668 searchH2713 the cityH5892, and to spy it outH7270, and to overthrowH2015 it? {Thinkest…: Heb. In thine eyes doth David?}
Until I comeH935 and take you awayH3947 to a landH776 like your own landH776, a landH776 of cornH1715 and wineH8492, a landH776 of breadH3899 and vineyardsH3754, a landH776 of oilH3323 oliveH2132 and of honeyH1706, that ye may liveH2421, and not dieH4191: and hearkenH8085 not unto HezekiahH2396, when he persuadethH5496 you, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will deliverH5337 us. {persuadeth: or, deceiveth}
And JosephH3130 rememberedH2142 the dreamsH2472 which he dreamedH2492 of them, and saidH559 unto them, Ye are spiesH7270; to seeH7200 the nakednessH6172 of the landH776 ye are comeH935.
AndG2532 there wasG2258 muchG4183 murmuringG1112 amongG1722 the peopleG3793 concerningG4012 himG846: for someG3303 saidG3004+G3754, He isG2076 a good manG18: othersG1161+G243 saidG3004, NayG3756; butG235 he deceivethG4105 the peopleG3793.
SendH7971 oneH259 of you, and let him fetchH3947 your brotherH251, and ye shall be kept in prisonH631, that your wordsH1697 may be provedH974, whether there be any truthH571 inH854 you: or elseH3808 by the lifeH2416 of PharaohH6547 surely ye are spiesH7270. {kept…: Heb. bound}
ThereforeG1352 thou artG1488 inexcusableG379, OG5599 manG444, whosoeverG3956 thou art that judgestG2919: forG1063 whereinG1722+G3739 thou judgestG2919 anotherG2087, thou condemnestG2632 thyselfG4572; forG1063 thou that judgestG2919 doestG4238 the same thingsG846.
Which may go outH3318 beforeH6440 them, and which may go inH935 beforeH6440 them, and which may lead them outH3318, and which may bring them inH935; that the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068 be not as sheepH6629 which have no shepherdH7462.
BlessedH1288 shalt thou be when thou comest inH935, and blessedH1288 shalt thou be when thou goest outH3318.
And the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 were wrothH7107 with him; and the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559 unto him, MakeH7725 this fellowH376 returnH7725, that he may go againH7725 to his placeH4725 which thou hast appointedH6485 him, and let him not go downH3381 with us to battleH4421, lest in the battleH4421 he be an adversaryH7854 to us: for wherewith should he reconcileH7521 himself unto his masterH113? should it not be with the headsH7218 of these menH582?
Is not this DavidH1732, of whom they sangH6030 one to another in dancesH4246, sayingH559, SaulH7586 slewH5221 his thousandsH505, and DavidH1732 his ten thousandsH7233?
Then AchishH397 calledH7121 DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Surely, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, thou hast been uprightH3477, and thy going outH3318 and thy coming inH935 with me in the hostH4264 is goodH2896 in my sightH5869: for I have not foundH4672 evilH7451 in thee since the dayH3117 of thy comingH935 unto me unto this dayH3117: nevertheless the lordsH5633 favourH2896 thee notH5869. {the lords…: Heb. thou art not good in the eyes of the lords}
