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 he shall standH5975 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, who shall askH7592 counsel for him after the judgmentH4941 of UrimH224 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: at his wordH6310 shall they go outH3318, and at his wordH6310 they shall come inH935, both he, and all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 with him, even all the congregationH5712.
The lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is perfectH8549, convertingH7725 the soulH5315: the testimonyH5715 of the LORDH3068 is sureH539, making wiseH2449 the simpleH6612. {law: or, doctrine} {converting: or, restoring}
And AbsalomH53 and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, The counselH6098 of HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757 is betterH2896 than the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302. For the LORDH3068 had appointedH6680 to defeatH6565 the goodH2896 counselH6098 of AhithophelH302, to the intentH5668 that the LORDH3068 might bringH935 evilH7451 upon AbsalomH53. {appointed: Heb. commanded}
And AbsalomH53 sentH7971 for AhithophelH302 the GiloniteH1526, David'sH1732 counsellorH3289, from his cityH5892, even from GilohH1542, while he offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077. And the conspiracyH7195 was strongH533; for the peopleH5971 increasedH7227 continuallyH1980 with AbsalomH53.
And DavidH1732 enquiredH7592 at the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Shall I pursueH7291 afterH310 this troopH1416? shall I overtakeH5381 them? And he answeredH559 him, PursueH7291: for thou shalt surelyH5381 overtakeH5381 them, and without failH5337 recoverH5337 all.
And when AhithophelH302 sawH7200 that his counselH6098 was not followedH6213, he saddledH2280 his assH2543, and aroseH6965, and gat him homeH3212 to his houseH1004, to his cityH5892, and put his householdH1004 in orderH6680, and hangedH2614 himself, and diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in the sepulchreH6913 of his fatherH1. {followed: Heb. done} {put his…: Heb. gave charge concerning his house}
DeadH4194 fliesH2070 cause the ointmentH8081 of the apothecaryH7543 to send forthH5042 a stinking savourH887: so doth a littleH4592 follyH5531 him that is in reputationH3368 for wisdomH2451 and honourH3519. {Dead…: Heb. Flies of death}
HearH8085 the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469, when I cryH7768 unto thee, when I lift upH5375 my handsH3027 toward thy holyH6944 oracleH1687. {thy…: or, the oracle of thy sanctuary}
He disappointethH6565 the devicesH4284 of the craftyH6175, so that their handsH3027 cannot performH6213 their enterpriseH8454. {their enterprise: or, any thing}
If any manG1536 speakG2980, let him speak asG5613 the oraclesG3051 of GodG2316; if any manG1536 ministerG1247, let him do it asG5613 ofG1537 the abilityG2479 whichG3739 GodG2316 givethG5524: thatG2443 GodG2316 inG1722 all thingsG3956 may be glorifiedG1392 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to whomG3739 beG2076 praiseG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
And unto manH120 he saidH559, Behold, the fearH3374 of the LordH136, that is wisdomH2451; and to departH5493 from evilH7451 is understandingH998.
For my peopleH5971 is foolishH191, they have not knownH3045 me; they are sottishH5530 childrenH1121, and they have none understandingH995: they are wiseH2450 to do evilH7489, but to do goodH3190 they have no knowledgeH3045.
The wiseH2450 men are ashamedH3001, they are dismayedH2865 and takenH3920: lo, they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; and what wisdomH2451 is in them? {The wise…: or, Have they been ashamed, etc} {what…: Heb. the wisdom of what thing}
AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036, I thankG1843 theeG4671, O FatherG3962, LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, becauseG3754 thou hast hidG613 these thingsG5023 fromG575 the wiseG4680 andG2532 prudentG4908, andG2532 hast revealedG601 themG846 unto babesG3516.
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.
ForG1063 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 worldG2889 isG2076 foolishnessG3472 withG3844 GodG2316. ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, He takethG1405 the wiseG4680 inG1722 their ownG846 craftinessG3834.
AndG2532 againG3825, The LordG2962 knowethG1097 the thoughtsG1261 of the wiseG4680, thatG3754 they areG1526 vainG3152.
WhoG5101 is a wise manG4680 andG2532 endued with knowledgeG1990 amongG1722 youG5213? let him shewG1166 out ofG1537 a goodG2570 conversationG391 hisG846 worksG2041 withG1722 meeknessG4240 of wisdomG4678.
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye haveG2192 bitterG4089 envyingG2205 andG2532 strifeG2052 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588, gloryG2620 notG3361, andG2532 lie notG5574 againstG2596 the truthG225.
ThisG3778 wisdomG4678 descendethG2076+G2718 notG3756 from aboveG509, butG235 is earthlyG1919, sensualG5591, devilishG1141. {sensual: or, natural}
ForG1063 whereG3699 envyingG2205 andG2532 strifeG2052 is, thereG1563 is confusionG181 andG2532 everyG3956 evilG5337 workG4229. {confusion: Gr. tumult or unquietness}
ButG1161 the wisdomG4678 that is from aboveG509 isG2076 firstG4412 pureG3303+G53, thenG1899 peaceableG1516, gentleG1933, and easy to be intreatedG2138, fullG3324 of mercyG1656 andG2532 goodG18 fruitsG2590, without partialityG87, andG2532 without hypocrisyG505. {partiality: or, wrangling}
AndG1161 the fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 is sownG4687 inG1722 peaceG1515 of them that makeG4160 peaceG1515.
