And it came to pass after two fullH3117 yearsH8141, that AbsalomH53 had sheepshearersH1494 in BaalhazorH1178, which is beside EphraimH669: and AbsalomH53 invitedH7121 all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121.
And AbsalomH53 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and saidH559, Behold now, thy servantH5650 hath sheepshearersH1494; letH3212 the kingH4428, I beseech thee, and his servantsH5650 goH3212 with thy servantH5650.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, Nay, my sonH1121, let us not all now goH3212, lest we be chargeableH3513 unto thee. And he pressedH6555 him: howbeit he wouldH14 not goH3212, but blessedH1288 him.
Then saidH559 AbsalomH53, If not, I pray thee, let my brotherH251 AmnonH550 goH3212 with us. And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Why should he goH3212 with thee?
But AbsalomH53 pressedH6555 him, that he let AmnonH550 and all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 goH7971 with him.
Now AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680 his servantsH5288, sayingH559, MarkH7200 ye now when Amnon'sH550 heartH3820 is merryH2896 with wineH3196, and when I sayH559 unto you, SmiteH5221 AmnonH550; then killH4191 him, fearH3372 not: have not I commandedH6680 you? be courageousH2388, and be valiantH1121+H2428. {have…: or, will you not, since I have commanded you?} {valiant: Heb. sons of valour}
And the servantsH5288 of AbsalomH53 didH6213 unto AmnonH550 as AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680. Then all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 aroseH6965, and every manH376 gat him upH7392 upon his muleH6505, and fledH5127. {gat…: Heb. rode}
And in processH7235 of timeH3117 the daughterH1323 of ShuahH7770 Judah'sH3063 wifeH802 diedH4191; and JudahH3063 was comfortedH5162, and went upH5927 unto his sheepshearersH1494+H6629 to TimnathH8553, he and his friendH7453 HirahH2437 the AdullamiteH5726. {in process…: Heb. the days were multiplied}
And it was toldH5046 TamarH8559, sayingH559, Behold thy father in lawH2524 goeth upH5927 to TimnathH8553 to shearH1494 his sheepH6629.
And she putH5493 her widow'sH491 garmentsH899 offH5493 from her, and covered herH3680 with a vailH6809, and wrapped herselfH5968, and sat inH3427 an openH5869 placeH6607, which is by the wayH1870 to TimnathH8553; for she sawH7200 that ShelahH7956 was grownH1431, and she was not givenH5414 unto him to wifeH802. {an open…: Heb. the door of eyes, or, of Enajim}
When JudahH3063 saw herH7200, he thoughtH2803 her to be an harlotH2181; because she had coveredH3680 her faceH6440.
And DavidH1732 heardH8085 in the wildernessH4057 that NabalH5037 did shearH1494 his sheepH6629.
And DavidH1732 sent outH7971 tenH6235 young menH5288, and DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the young menH5288, Get you upH5927 to CarmelH3760, and goH935 to NabalH5037, and greetH7592+H7965 him in my nameH8034: {greet…: Heb. ask him in my name of peace}
And thus shall ye sayH559 to him that livethH2416 in prosperity, PeaceH7965 be both to thee, and peaceH7965 be to thine houseH1004, and peaceH7965 be unto all that thou hast.
And now I have heardH8085 that thou hast shearersH1494: now thy shepherdsH7462 which were with us, we hurtH3637 them not, neither was there oughtH3972 missingH6485 unto them, all the whileH3117 they were in CarmelH3760. {hurt: Heb. shamed}
AskH7592 thy young menH5288, and they will shewH5046 thee. Wherefore let the young menH5288 findH4672 favourH2580 in thine eyesH5869: for we comeH935 in a goodH2896 dayH3117: giveH5414, I pray thee, whatsoever comethH4672 to thine handH3027 unto thy servantsH5650, and to thy sonH1121 DavidH1732.
And when David'sH1732 young menH5288 cameH935, they spakeH1696 to NabalH5037 according to all those wordsH1697 in the nameH8034 of DavidH1732, and ceasedH5117. {ceased: Heb. rested}
And NabalH5037 answeredH6030 David'sH1732 servantsH5650, and saidH559, Who is DavidH1732? and who is the sonH1121 of JesseH3448? there be manyH7231 servantsH5650 now a daysH3117 that break awayH6555 every manH376 fromH6440 his masterH113.
Shall I then takeH3947 my breadH3899, and my waterH4325, and my fleshH2878 that I have killedH2873 for my shearersH1494, and giveH5414 it unto menH582, whom I knowH3045 not whence they be? {flesh: Heb. slaughter}
