And it was toldH5046 JoabH3097, Behold, the kingH4428 weepethH1058 and mournethH56 for AbsalomH53.
And the victoryH8668 that dayH3117 was turned into mourningH60 unto all the peopleH5971: for the peopleH5971 heardH8085 sayH559 that dayH3117 how the kingH4428 was grievedH6087 for his sonH1121. {victory: Heb. salvation, or, deliverance}
And the peopleH5971 gatH935 them by stealthH1589 that dayH3117 into the cityH5892, as peopleH5971 being ashamedH3637 steal awayH1589 when they fleeH5127 in battleH4421.
But the kingH4428 coveredH3813 his faceH6440, and the kingH4428 criedH2199 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, O my sonH1121 AbsalomH53, O AbsalomH53, my sonH1121, my sonH1121!
And JoabH3097 cameH935 into the houseH1004 to the kingH4428, and saidH559, Thou hast shamedH3001 this dayH3117 the facesH6440 of all thy servantsH5650, which this dayH3117 have savedH4422 thy lifeH5315, and the livesH5315 of thy sonsH1121 and of thy daughtersH1323, and the livesH5315 of thy wivesH802, and the livesH5315 of thy concubinesH6370;
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}
Now therefore ariseH6965, go forthH3318, and speakH1696 comfortablyH3820 unto thy servantsH5650: for I swearH7650 by the LORDH3068, if thou go not forthH3318, there will not tarryH3885 oneH376 with thee this nightH3915: and that will be worseH7489 unto thee than all the evilH7451 that befellH935 thee from thy youthH5271 until now. {comfortably…: Heb. to the heart of thy servants}
Then the kingH4428 aroseH6965, and satH3427 in the gateH8179. And they toldH5046 unto all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Behold, the kingH4428 doth sitH3427 in the gateH8179. And all the peopleH5971 cameH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428: for IsraelH3478 had fledH5127 every manH376 to his tentH168.
And all the peopleH5971 were at strifeH1777 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The kingH4428 savedH5337 us out of the handH3709 of our enemiesH341, and he deliveredH4422 us out of the handH3709 of the PhilistinesH6430; and now he is fledH1272 out of the landH776 for AbsalomH53.
And AbsalomH53, whom we anointedH4886 over us, is deadH4191 in battleH4421. Now therefore why speakH2790 ye not a word of bringingH7725 the kingH4428 backH7725? {speak…: Heb. are ye silent?}
And kingH4428 DavidH1732 sentH7971 to ZadokH6659 and to AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548, sayingH559, SpeakH1696 unto the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, Why are ye the lastH314 to bringH7725 the kingH4428 backH7725 to his houseH1004? seeing the speechH1697 of all IsraelH3478 is comeH935 to the kingH4428, even to his houseH1004.
Ye are my brethrenH251, ye are my bonesH6106 and my fleshH1320: wherefore then are ye the lastH314 to bring backH7725 the kingH4428?
And sayH559 ye to AmasaH6021, Art thou not of my boneH6106, and of my fleshH1320? GodH430 doH6213 so to me, and moreH3254 also, if thou be not captainH8269 of the hostH6635 beforeH6440 me continuallyH3117 in the roomH8478 of JoabH3097.
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.
So the kingH4428 returnedH7725, and cameH935 to JordanH3383. And JudahH3063 cameH935 to GilgalH1537, to goH3212 to meetH7125 the kingH4428, to conductH5674 the kingH4428 overH5674 JordanH3383.
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}
And saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Let not my lordH113 imputeH2803 iniquityH5771 unto me, neither do thou rememberH2142 that which thy servantH5650 did perverselyH5753 the dayH3117 that my lordH113 the kingH4428 went outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, that the kingH4428 should takeH7760 it to his heartH3820.
For thy servantH5650 doth knowH3045 that I have sinnedH2398: therefore, behold, I am comeH935 the firstH7223 this dayH3117 of all the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 to go downH3381 to meetH7125 my lordH113 the kingH4428.
But AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Shall not ShimeiH8096 be put to deathH4191 for this, because he cursedH7043 the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899?
And DavidH1732 saidH559, What have I to do with you, ye sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, that ye should this dayH3117 be adversariesH7854 unto me? shall there any manH376 be put to deathH4191 this dayH3117 in IsraelH3478? for do not I knowH3045 that I am this dayH3117 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478?
Therefore the kingH4428 saidH559 unto ShimeiH8096, Thou shalt not dieH4191. And the kingH4428 swareH7650 unto him.
And MephiboshethH4648 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586 came downH3381 to meetH7125 the kingH4428, and had neitherH3808 dressedH6213 his feetH7272, nor trimmedH6213 his beardH8222, nor washedH3526 his clothesH899, from the dayH3117 the kingH4428 departedH3212 until the dayH3117 he cameH935 again in peaceH7965.
And it came to pass, when he was comeH935 to JerusalemH3389 to meetH7125 the kingH4428, that the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Wherefore wentestH1980 not thou with me, MephiboshethH4648?
And he answeredH559, My lordH113, O kingH4428, my servantH5650 deceivedH7411 me: for thy servantH5650 saidH559, I will saddleH2280 me an assH2543, that I may rideH7392 thereon, and goH3212 to the kingH4428; because thy servantH5650 is lameH6455.
And he hath slanderedH7270 thy servantH5650 unto my lordH113 the kingH4428; but my lordH113 the kingH4428 is as an angelH4397 of GodH430: doH6213 therefore what is goodH2896 in thine eyesH5869.
For all of my father'sH1 houseH1004 were butH3808 deadH4194 menH582 before my lordH113 the kingH4428: yet didst thou setH7896 thy servantH5650 among them that did eatH398 at thine own tableH7979. What rightH6666 therefore haveH3426 I yet to cryH2199 any more unto the kingH4428? {dead…: Heb. men of death}
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Why speakestH1696 thou any more of thy mattersH1697? I have saidH559, Thou and ZibaH6717 divideH2505 the landH7704.
And MephiboshethH4648 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Yea, let him takeH3947 all, forasmuchH310 asH834 my lordH113 the kingH4428 is come againH935 in peaceH7965 unto his own houseH1004.
And BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569 came downH3381 from RogelimH7274, and went overH5674 JordanH3383 with the kingH4428, to conductH7971 him over JordanH3383.
Now BarzillaiH1271 was a veryH3966 agedH2204 man, even fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141 oldH1121: and he had provided the kingH4428 of sustenanceH3557 while he layH7871 at MahanaimH4266; for he was a veryH3966 greatH1419 manH376.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto BarzillaiH1271, Come thou overH5674 with me, and I will feedH3557 thee with me in JerusalemH3389.
And BarzillaiH1271 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, How longH3117 have I to liveH8141+H2416, that I should go upH5927 with the kingH4428 unto JerusalemH3389? {How…: Heb. How many days are the years of my life}
I am this dayH3117 fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141 oldH1121: and can I discernH3045 between goodH2896 and evilH7451? can thy servantH5650 tasteH2938 whatH834 I eatH398 or whatH834 I drinkH8354? can I hearH8085 any more the voiceH6963 of singing menH7891 and singing womenH7891? wherefore then should thy servantH5650 be yet a burdenH4853 unto my lordH113 the kingH4428?
Thy servantH5650 will goH5674 a little wayH4592 overH5674 JordanH3383 with the kingH4428: and why should the kingH4428 recompenseH1580 it me with such a rewardH1578?
Let thy servantH5650, I pray thee, turn back againH7725, that I may dieH4191 in mine own cityH5892, and be buried by the graveH6913 of my fatherH1 and of my motherH517. But behold thy servantH5650 ChimhamH3643; let him go overH5674 with my lordH113 the kingH4428; and doH6213 to him what shall seem goodH2896+H5869 unto thee.
And the kingH4428 answeredH559, ChimhamH3643 shall goH5674 over with me, and I will doH6213 to him that which shall seem goodH2896+H5869 unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt requireH977 of me, that will I doH6213 for thee. {require: Heb. choose}
And all the peopleH5971 went overH5674 JordanH3383. And when the kingH4428 was come overH5674, the kingH4428 kissedH5401 BarzillaiH1271, and blessedH1288 him; and he returnedH7725 unto his own placeH4725.
Then the kingH4428 went onH5674 to GilgalH1537, and ChimhamH3643 went onH5674 with him: and all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 conductedH5674+H5674 the kingH4428, and also halfH2677 the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478. {Chimham: Heb. Chimhan}
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.
Then cameH935 all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to DavidH1732 unto HebronH2275, and spakeH559, sayingH559, Behold, we are thy boneH6106 and thy fleshH1320.
And all the peopleH5971 were at strifeH1777 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The kingH4428 savedH5337 us out of the handH3709 of our enemiesH341, and he deliveredH4422 us out of the handH3709 of the PhilistinesH6430; and now he is fledH1272 out of the landH776 for AbsalomH53.
And the menH376 of EphraimH669 saidH559 unto him, Why hast thouH4100 servedH6213 us thusH1697, that thou calledstH7121 us not, when thou wentestH1980 to fightH3898 with the MidianitesH4080? And they did chideH7378 with him sharplyH2394. {Why…: Heb. What thing is this thou hast done unto us} {sharply: Heb. strongly}
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 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.
Then GodH430 sentH7971 an evilH7451 spiritH7307 between AbimelechH40 and the menH1167 of ShechemH7927; and the menH1167 of ShechemH7927 dealt treacherouslyH898 with AbimelechH40:
SoH7725 when all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto them, the peopleH5971 answeredH1697 the kingH4428, sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: now seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004, DavidH1732. So IsraelH3478 departedH3212 unto their tentsH168.

And the menH376 of EphraimH669 gathered themselves togetherH6817, and wentH5674 northwardH6828, and saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, Wherefore passedst thou overH5674 to fightH3898 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and didst not callH7121 us to goH3212 with thee? we will burnH8313 thine houseH1004 upon thee with fireH784. {gathered…: Heb. were called}
And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto them, I and my peopleH5971 wereH1961 at greatH3966 strifeH376+H7379 with the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983; and when I calledH2199 you, ye deliveredH3467 me not out of their handsH3027.
And when I sawH7200 that ye deliveredH3467 me not, I putH7760 my lifeH5315 in my handsH3709, and passed overH5674 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into my handH3027: wherefore then are ye come upH5927 unto me this dayH3117, to fightH3898 against me?
Then JephthahH3316 gathered togetherH6908 all the menH582 of GileadH1568, and foughtH3898 with EphraimH669: and the menH582 of GileadH1568 smoteH5221 EphraimH669, because they saidH559, Ye GileaditesH1568 are fugitivesH6412 of EphraimH669 amongH8432 the EphraimitesH669, and amongH8432 the ManassitesH4519.
And the GileaditesH1568 tookH3920 the passagesH4569 of JordanH3383 before the EphraimitesH669: and it was so, that when those EphraimitesH669 which were escapedH6412 saidH559, Let me go overH5674; that the menH582 of GileadH1568 saidH559 unto him, Art thou an EphraimiteH673? If he saidH559, Nay;
Then saidH559 they unto him, SayH559 now ShibbolethH7641: and he saidH559 SibbolethH5451: for he could not frameH3559 to pronounceH1696 it rightH3559. Then they tookH270 him, and slewH7819 him at the passagesH4569 of JordanH3383: and there fellH5307 at that timeH6256 of the EphraimitesH669 fortyH705 and twoH8147 thousandH505.

The beginningH7225 of strifeH4066 is as when one letteth outH6362 waterH4325: therefore leave offH5203 contentionH7379, beforeH6440 it be meddledH1566 with.

ForG1063 in many thingsG4183 we offendG4417 allG537. If any manG1536 offendG4417 notG3756 inG1722 wordG3056, the sameG3778 is a perfectG5046 manG435, and ableG1415 alsoG2532 to bridleG5468 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983.

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}
From whenceG4159 come warsG4171 andG2532 fightingsG3163 amongG1722 youG5213? come they notG3756 henceG1782, even ofG1537 yourG5216 lustsG2237 that warG4754 inG1722 yourG5216 membersG3196? {fightings: or, brawlings} {lusts: or, pleasures}
Ye lustG1937, andG2532 haveG2192 notG3756: ye killG5407, andG2532 desire to haveG2206, andG2532 cannotG3756+G1410 obtainG2013: ye fightG3164 andG2532 warG4170, yetG1161 ye haveG2192 notG3756, becauseG1223 yeG5209 askG154 notG3361.
Ye askG154, andG2532 receiveG2983 notG3756, becauseG1360 ye askG154 amissG2560, thatG2443 ye may consumeG1159 it uponG1722 yourG5216 lustsG2237. {lusts: or, pleasures}
Ye adulterersG3432 andG2532 adulteressesG3428, know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 the friendshipG5373 of the worldG2889 isG2076 enmityG2189 with GodG2316? whosoeverG3739+G302 thereforeG3767 will beG1511+G1014 a friendG5384 of the worldG2889 isG2525 the enemyG2190 of GodG2316.
Do ye thinkG1380 thatG3754 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 in vainG2761, The spiritG4151 thatG3739 dwellethG2730 inG1722 usG2254 lustethG1971 toG4314 envyG5355? {to envy: or, enviously?} {to envy: or, enviously}
