And when DavidH1732 was a littleH4592 pastH5674 the topH7218 of the hill, behold, ZibaH6717 the servantH5288 of MephiboshethH4648 metH7125 him, with a coupleH6776 of assesH2543 saddledH2280, and upon them two hundredH3967 loaves of breadH3899, and an hundredH3967 bunches of raisinsH6778, and an hundredH3967 of summer fruitsH7019, and a bottleH5035 of wineH3196.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto ZibaH6717, What meanest thou by these? And ZibaH6717 saidH559, The assesH2543 be for the king'sH4428 householdH1004 to ride onH7392; and the breadH3899 and summer fruitH7019 for the young menH5288 to eatH398; and the wineH3196, that such as be faintH3287 in the wildernessH4057 may drinkH8354.
And the kingH4428 saidH559, And where is thy master'sH113 sonH1121? And ZibaH6717 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Behold, he abidethH3427 at JerusalemH3389: for he saidH559, To dayH3117 shall the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 restoreH7725 me the kingdomH4468 of my fatherH1.
Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to ZibaH6717, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto MephiboshethH4648. And ZibaH6717 saidH559, I humblyH7812 beseech thee that I may findH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, my lordH113, O kingH4428. {I humbly…: Heb. I do obeisance}
And when kingH4428 DavidH1732 cameH935 to BahurimH980, behold, thence came outH3318 a manH376 of the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, whose nameH8034 was ShimeiH8096, the sonH1121 of GeraH1617: he came forthH3318, and cursedH7043 still as he cameH3318. {he came forth…: or, he still came forth and cursed}
And he castH5619 stonesH68 at DavidH1732, and at all the servantsH5650 of kingH4428 DavidH1732: and all the peopleH5971 and all the mighty menH1368 were on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040.
And thus saidH559 ShimeiH8096 when he cursedH7043, Come outH3318, come outH3318, thou bloodyH1818 manH376, and thou manH376 of BelialH1100: {bloody…: Heb. man of blood}
The LORDH3068 hath returnedH7725 upon thee all the bloodH1818 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, in whose stead thou hast reignedH4427; and the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 the kingdomH4410 into the handH3027 of AbsalomH53 thy sonH1121: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischiefH7451, because thou art a bloodyH1818 manH376. {behold…: Heb. behold thee in thy evil}
Then saidH559 AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 unto the kingH4428, Why should this deadH4191 dogH3611 curseH7043 my lordH113 the kingH4428? let me go overH5674, I pray thee, and take offH5493 his headH7218.
And the kingH4428 saidH559, What have I to do with you, ye sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870? so let him curseH7043, because the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto him, CurseH7043 DavidH1732. Who shall then sayH559, Wherefore hast thou done soH6213?
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, and to all his servantsH5650, Behold, my sonH1121, which came forthH3318 of my bowelsH4578, seekethH1245 my lifeH5315: how much more now may this BenjamiteH1145 do it? let him aloneH3240, and let him curseH7043; for the LORDH3068 hath biddenH559 him.
It may be that the LORDH3068 will lookH7200 on mine afflictionH5869+H6040, and that the LORDH3068 will requiteH7725 me goodH2896 for his cursingH7045 this dayH3117. {affliction: or, tears: Heb. eye}
And as DavidH1732 and his menH582 wentH3212 by the wayH1870, ShimeiH8096 went alongH1980 on the hill'sH2022 sideH6763 over againstH5980 him, and cursedH7043 as he wentH1980, and threwH5619 stonesH68 atH5980 him, and castH6080 dustH6083. {cast…: Heb. dusted him with dust}
And the kingH4428, and all the peopleH5971 that were with him, cameH935 wearyH5889, and refreshedH5314 themselves there.
And AbsalomH53, and all the peopleH5971 the menH376 of IsraelH3478, cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and AhithophelH302 with him.
And it came to pass, when HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757, David'sH1732 friendH7463, was comeH935 unto AbsalomH53, that HushaiH2365 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, God saveH2421 the kingH4428, God saveH2421 the kingH4428. {God…: Heb. Let the king live}
And AbsalomH53 saidH559 to HushaiH2365, Is this thy kindnessH2617 to thy friendH7453? why wentestH1980 thou not with thy friendH7453?
And HushaiH2365 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, Nay; but whom the LORDH3068, and this peopleH5971, and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, chooseH977, his will I be, and with him will I abideH3427.
And againH8145, whom should I serveH5647? should I not serve in the presenceH6440 of his sonH1121? as I have servedH5647 in thy father'sH1 presenceH6440, so will I be in thy presenceH6440.
Then saidH559 AbsalomH53 to AhithophelH302, GiveH3051 counselH6098 among you what we shall doH6213.
And AhithophelH302 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, Go inH935 unto thy father'sH1 concubinesH6370, which he hath leftH3240 to keepH8104 the houseH1004; and all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085 that thou art abhorredH887 of thy fatherH1: then shall the handsH3027 of all that are with thee be strongH2388.
So they spreadH5186 AbsalomH53 a tentH168 upon the top of the houseH1406; and AbsalomH53 went inH935 unto his father'sH1 concubinesH6370 in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478.
And the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302, which he counselledH3289 in those daysH3117, was as if a manH376 had enquiredH7592 at the oracleH1697 of GodH430: so was all the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302 both with DavidH1732 and with AbsalomH53. {oracle: Heb. word}

And the kingH4428, and all the peopleH5971 that were with him, cameH935 wearyH5889, and refreshedH5314 themselves there.
And ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, a BenjamiteH1145, which was of BahurimH980, hastedH4116 and came downH3381 with the menH376 of JudahH3063 to meetH7125 kingH4428 DavidH1732.
And there were a thousandH505 menH376 of BenjaminH1145 with him, and ZibaH6717 the servantH5288 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, and his fifteenH2568+H6240 sonsH1121 and his twentyH6242 servantsH5650 with him; and they went overH6743 JordanH3383 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
And there went overH5674 a ferry boatH5679 to carry overH5674 the king'sH4428 householdH1004, and to doH6213 what he thoughtH5869 goodH2896. And ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617 fell downH5307 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, as he was come overH5674 JordanH3383; {what…: Heb. the good in his eyes}
Thou shalt not revileH7043 the godsH430, nor curseH779 the rulerH5387 of thy peopleH5971. {gods: or, judges}
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, behold, thou hast with thee ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, a BenjamiteH1145 of BahurimH980, which cursedH7043 me with a grievousH4834 curseH7045 in the dayH3117 when I wentH3212 to MahanaimH4266: but he came downH3381 to meetH7125 me at JordanH3383, and I swareH7650 to him by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, I will not put thee to deathH4191 with the swordH2719. {grievous: Heb. strong}
And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Am I a dogH3611, that thou comestH935 to me with stavesH4731? And the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430.
Nevertheless a ladH5288 sawH7200 them, and toldH5046 AbsalomH53: but they wentH3212 bothH8147 of them away quicklyH4120, and cameH935 to a man'sH376 houseH1004 in BahurimH980, which had a wellH875 in his courtH2691; whitherH8033 they went downH3381.
Now therefore hold him not guiltlessH5352: for thou art a wiseH2450 manH376, and knowestH3045 what thou oughtest to doH6213 unto him; but his hoar headH7872 bring thou downH3381 to the graveH7585 with bloodH1818.
For they persecuteH7291 him whom thou hast smittenH5221; and they talkH5608 to the griefH4341 of those whom thou hast woundedH2491. {those…: Heb. thy wounded}
And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, BuildH1129 thee an houseH1004 in JerusalemH3389, and dwellH3427 there, and go not forthH3318 thence any whitherH575.
For it shall be, that on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and passest overH5674 the brookH5158 KidronH6939, thou shalt knowH3045 for certainH3045 that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191: thy bloodH1818 shall be upon thine own headH7218.
And ShimeiH8096 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, The sayingH1697 is goodH2896: as my lordH113 the kingH4428 hath saidH1696, so will thy servantH5650 doH6213. And ShimeiH8096 dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 manyH7227 daysH3117.
And it came to pass at the endH7093 of threeH7969 yearsH8141, that twoH8147 of the servantsH5650 of ShimeiH8096 ran awayH1272 unto AchishH397 sonH1121 of MaachahH4601 kingH4428 of GathH1661. And they toldH5046 ShimeiH8096, sayingH559, Behold, thy servantsH5650 be in GathH1661.
And ShimeiH8096 aroseH6965, and saddledH2280 his assH2543, and wentH3212 to GathH1661 to AchishH397 to seekH1245 his servantsH5650: and ShimeiH8096 wentH3212, and broughtH935 his servantsH5650 from GathH1661.
And it was toldH5046 SolomonH8010 that ShimeiH8096 had goneH1980 from JerusalemH3389 to GathH1661, and was come againH7725.
And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, Did I not make thee to swearH7650 by the LORDH3068, and protestedH5749 unto thee, sayingH559, KnowH3045 for a certainH3045, on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and walkestH1980 abroad any whitherH575, that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191? and thou saidstH559 unto me, The wordH1697 that I have heardH8085 is goodH2896.
Why then hast thou not keptH8104 the oathH7621 of the LORDH3068, and the commandmentH4687 that I have chargedH6680 thee with?
The kingH4428 saidH559 moreover to ShimeiH8096, Thou knowestH3045 all the wickednessH7451 which thine heartH3824 is privy toH3045, that thou didstH6213 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1: therefore the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 thy wickednessH7451 upon thine own headH7218;
Because that he rememberedH2142 not to shewH6213 mercyH2617, but persecutedH7291 the poorH6041 and needyH34 manH376, that he might even slayH4191 the brokenH3512 in heartH3824.
As he lovedH157 cursingH7045, so let it comeH935 unto him: as he delightedH2654 not in blessingH1293, so let it be farH7368 from him.
As he clothedH3847 himself with cursingH7045 like as with his garmentH4055, so let it comeH935 into his bowelsH7130 like waterH4325, and like oilH8081 into his bonesH6106. {into his bowels: Heb. within him}
Let it be unto him as the garmentH899 which coverethH5844 him, and for a girdleH4206 wherewith he is girdedH2296 continuallyH8548.
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 shall be blessedH1288, and the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 forH5704 everH5769.
Let them curseH7043, but blessH1288 thou: when they ariseH6965, let them be ashamedH954; but let thy servantH5650 rejoiceH8055.
So the kingH4428 commandedH6680 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; which went outH3318, and fellH6293 upon him, that he diedH4191. And the kingdomH4467 was establishedH3559 in the handH3027 of SolomonH8010.
As the birdH6833 by wanderingH5110, as the swallowH1866 by flyingH5774, so the curseH7045 causelessH2600 shall not comeH935.
CurseH7043 not the kingH4428, no not in thy thoughtH4093; and curseH7043 not the richH6223 in thy bedchamberH2315+H4904: for a birdH5775 of the airH8064 shall carryH3212 the voiceH6963, and that which hathH1167 wingsH3671 shall tellH5046 the matterH1697. {thought: or, conscience}
And they shall passH5674 through it, hardly besteadH7185 and hungryH7457: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungryH7456, they shall fretH7107 themselves, and curseH7043 their kingH4428 and their GodH430, and lookH6437 upwardH4605.
