ThenG1161 drew nearG2258+G1448 unto himG846 allG3956 the publicansG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268 for to hearG191 himG846.
AndG2532 the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 scribesG1122 murmuredG1234, sayingG3004, This manG3754+G3778 receivethG4327 sinnersG268, andG2532 eatethG4906 with themG846.
AndG1161 he spakeG2036 thisG5026 parableG3850 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004,
WhatG5101 manG444 ofG1537 youG5216, havingG2192 an hundredG1540 sheepG4263, ifG2532 he loseG622 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846, dothG2641 notG3756 leaveG2641 the ninety and nineG1768 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, andG2532 goG4198 afterG1909 that which is lostG622, untilG2193 he findG2147 itG846?
AndG2532 when he hath foundG2147 it, he layethG2007 it onG1909 hisG1438 shouldersG5606, rejoicingG5463.
AndG2532 when he comethG2064+G1519 homeG3624, he calleth togetherG4779 his friendsG5384 andG2532 neighboursG1069, sayingG3004 unto themG846, RejoiceG4796 with meG3427; forG3754 I have foundG2147 myG3450 sheepG4263 whichG3588 was lostG622.
I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 likewiseG3779 joyG5479 shall beG2071 inG1722 heavenG3772 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 that repentethG3340, more thanG2228 overG1909 ninety and nineG1768 just personsG1342, whichG3748 needG2192+G5532 noG3756 repentanceG3341.
EitherG2228 whatG5101 womanG1135 havingG2192 tenG1176 pieces of silverG1406, ifG1437 she loseG622 oneG3391 pieceG1406, doth notG3780 lightG681 a candleG3088, andG2532 sweepG4563 the houseG3614, andG2532 seekG2212 diligentlyG1960 tillG2193+G3755 she findG2147 it? {pieces…: drachma, here translated a piece of silver, is the eighth part of an ounce, which cometh to seven pence halfpenny, and is equal to the Roman penny}
AndG2532 when she hath foundG2147 it, she callethG4779 her friendsG5384 andG2532 her neighboursG1069 togetherG4779, sayingG3004, RejoiceG4796 with meG3427; forG3754 I have foundG2147 the pieceG1406 whichG3739 I had lostG622.
LikewiseG3779, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, there isG1096 joyG5479 in the presenceG1799 of the angelsG32 of GodG2316 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 that repentethG3340.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, A certainG5100 manG444 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207:
AndG2532 the youngerG3501 of themG846 saidG2036 to his fatherG3962, FatherG3962, giveG1325 meG3427 the portionG3313 of goodsG3776 that fallethG1911 to me. AndG2532 he dividedG1244 unto themG846 his livingG979.
AndG2532 notG3756 manyG4183 daysG2250 afterG3326 the youngerG3501 sonG5207 gatheredG4863 allG537 togetherG4863, and took his journeyG589 intoG1519 a farG3117 countryG5561, andG2532 thereG1563 wastedG1287 hisG846 substanceG3776 with riotousG811 livingG2198.
AndG1161 when heG846 had spentG1159 allG3956, there aroseG1096 a mightyG2478 famineG3042 inG2596 thatG1565 landG5561; andG2532 heG846 beganG756 to be in wantG5302.
AndG2532 he wentG4198 and joined himselfG2853 toG1520 a citizenG4177 of thatG1565 countryG5561; andG2532 he sentG3992 himG846 intoG1519 hisG846 fieldsG68 to feedG1006 swineG5519.
AndG2532 he would fainG1937 have filledG1072 hisG846 bellyG2836 withG575 the husksG2769 thatG3739 the swineG5519 did eatG2068: andG2532 no manG3762 gaveG1325 unto himG846.
AndG1161 when he cameG2064 toG1519 himselfG1438, he saidG2036, How manyG4214 hired servantsG3407 of myG3450 father'sG3962 have breadG740 enough and to spareG4052, andG1161 IG1473 perishG622 with hungerG3042!
I will ariseG450 and goG4198 toG4314 myG3450 fatherG3962, andG2532 will sayG2046 unto himG846, FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772, andG2532 beforeG1799 theeG4675,
AndG2532 amG1510 no moreG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 thyG4675 sonG5207: makeG4160 meG3165 asG5613 oneG1520 of thyG4675 hired servantsG3407.
AndG2532 he aroseG450, and cameG2064 toG4314 hisG1438 fatherG3962. ButG1161 when heG846 was yetG2089 a great wayG3112 offG568, hisG846 fatherG3962 sawG1492 himG846, andG2532 had compassionG4697, andG2532 ranG5143, and fellG1968 onG1909 hisG846 neckG5137, andG2532 kissedG2705 himG846.
AndG1161 the sonG5207 saidG2036 unto himG846, FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772, andG2532 inG1799 thyG4675 sightG1799, andG2532 amG1510 no moreG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 thyG4675 sonG5207.
ButG1161 the fatherG3962 saidG2036 toG4314 hisG846 servantsG1401, Bring forthG1627 the bestG4413 robeG4749, andG2532 put it onG1746 himG846; andG2532 putG1325 a ringG1146 onG1519 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 shoesG5266 onG1519 his feetG4228:
AndG2532 bring hitherG5342 the fattedG4618 calfG3448, and killG2380 it; andG2532 let us eatG5315, and be merryG2165:
ForG3754 thisG3778 myG3450 sonG5207 wasG2258 deadG3498, andG2532 is alive againG326+G2532; he wasG2258 lostG622, andG2532 is foundG2147. AndG2532 they beganG756 to be merryG2165.
NowG1161 hisG846 elderG4245 sonG5207 wasG2258 inG1722 the fieldG68: andG2532 asG5613 he cameG2064 and drew nighG1448 to the houseG3614, he heardG191 musickG4858 andG2532 dancingG5525.
AndG2532 he calledG4341 oneG1520 of the servantsG3816, and askedG4441 whatG5101 these thingsG5023 meantG1498.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846+G3754, ThyG4675 brotherG80 is comeG2240; andG2532 thyG4675 fatherG3962 hath killedG2380 the fattedG4618 calfG3448, becauseG3754 he hath receivedG618 himG846 safe and soundG5198.
AndG1161 he was angryG3710, andG2532 wouldG2309 notG3756 go inG1525: thereforeG3767 cameG1831 hisG846 fatherG3962 outG1831, and intreatedG3870 himG846.
AndG1161 he answeringG611 saidG2036 to his fatherG3962, LoG2400, these manyG5118 yearsG2094 do I serveG1398 theeG4671, neitherG3763 transgressed IG3928 at any timeG3763 thyG4675 commandmentG1785: andG2532 yetG2532 thouG1325 neverG3763 gavestG1325 meG1698 a kidG2056, thatG2443 I might make merryG2165 withG3326 myG3450 friendsG5384:
ButG1161 as soon asG3753 thisG3778 thyG4675 sonG5207 was comeG2064, whichG3588 hath devouredG2719 thyG4675 livingG979 withG3326 harlotsG4204, thou hast killedG2380 for himG846 the fattedG4618 calfG3448.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, SonG5043, thouG4771 artG1488 everG3842 withG3326 meG1700, andG2532 allG3956 that I haveG1699 isG2076 thineG4674.
It wasG1161 meetG1163 that we should make merryG2165, andG2532 be gladG5463: forG3754 thisG3778 thyG4675 brotherG80 wasG2258 deadG3498, andG2532 is alive againG326; andG2532 wasG2258 lostG622, andG2532 is foundG2147.
ByG1223 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we haveG2192 accessG4318 by faithG4102 intoG1519 thisG5026 graceG5485 whereinG1722+G3739 we standG2476, andG2532 rejoiceG2744 inG1909 hopeG1680 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, to the saintsG40 which areG5607 atG1722 EphesusG2181, andG2532 to the faithfulG4103 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
GraceG5485 be to youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
WhereinG3739 he hath aboundedG4052 towardG1519 usG2248 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 prudenceG5428;
Having made knownG1107 unto usG2254 the mysteryG3466 of hisG846 willG2307, according toG2596 hisG846 good pleasureG2107 whichG3739 he hath purposedG4388 inG1722 himselfG846:
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we have obtained an inheritanceG2820, being predestinatedG4309 according toG2596 the purposeG4286 of him who workethG1754 all thingsG3956 afterG2596 the counselG1012 of his ownG846 willG2307:
ThatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 toG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391, whoG3588 first trustedG4276 inG1722 ChristG5547. {trusted: or, hoped}
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 trusted, after that ye heardG191 the wordG3056 of truthG225, the gospelG2098 of yourG5216 salvationG4991: inG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 after that ye believedG4100, ye were sealed withG4972 that holyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860,
WhichG3739 isG2076 the earnestG728 of ourG2257 inheritanceG2817 untilG1519 the redemptionG629 of the purchased possessionG4047, untoG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391.
WhereforeG1223+G5124 I alsoG2504, after I heardG191 ofG2596 yourG5209 faithG4102 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 loveG26 untoG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
CeaseG3973 notG3756 to give thanksG2168 forG5228 youG5216, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335;
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
The eyesG3788 of yourG5216 understandingG1271 being enlightenedG5461; thatG1519 yeG5209 may knowG1492 whatG5101 isG2076 the hopeG1680 of hisG846 callingG2821, andG2532 whatG5101 the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the saintsG40,
AndG2532 whatG5101 is the exceedingG5235 greatnessG3174 of hisG846 powerG1411 toG1519 us-wardG2248 whoG3588 believeG4100, according toG2596 the workingG1753 of hisG846 mightyG2479 powerG2904, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power}
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
Far aboveG5231 allG3956 principalityG746, andG2532 powerG1849, andG2532 mightG1411, andG2532 dominionG2963, andG2532 everyG3956 nameG3686 that is namedG3687, notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 that which is to comeG3195:
AndG2532 hath putG5293 allG3956 things underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 to be the headG2776 overG5228 allG3956 things to the churchG1577,
WhichG3748 isG2076 hisG846 bodyG4983, the fulnessG4138 of him that fillethG4137 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
AndG2532 youG5209 hath he quickened, who wereG5607 deadG3498 in trespassesG3900 andG2532 sinsG266;
WhereinG1722+G3739 in time pastG4218 ye walkedG4043 according toG2596 the courseG165 of thisG5127 worldG2889, according toG2596 the princeG758 of the powerG1849 of the airG109, the spiritG4151 that nowG3568 workethG1754 inG1722 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543:
AmongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 weG2249 allG3956 had our conversationG390 in times pastG4218 inG1722 the lustsG1939 of ourG2257 fleshG4561, fulfillingG4160 the desiresG2307 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 of the mindG1271; andG2532 wereG2258 by natureG5449 the childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, evenG2532 asG5613 othersG3062. {desires: Gr. wills}
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
AndG2532 hath raised us up togetherG4891, andG2532 made us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
ThatG2443 inG1722 the agesG165 to comeG1904 he might shewG1731 the exceedingG5235 richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485 inG1722 his kindnessG5544 towardG1909 usG2248 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 by graceG5485 are yeG2075 savedG4982 throughG1223 faithG4102; andG2532 thatG5124 notG3756 ofG1537 yourselvesG5216: it is the giftG1435 of GodG2316:
NotG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, lestG3363 any manG5100 should boastG2744.
ForG1063 we areG2070 hisG846 workmanshipG4161, createdG2936 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 untoG1909 goodG18 worksG2041, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath before ordainedG4282 thatG2443 we should walkG4043 inG1722 themG846. {ordained: or, prepared}
WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG5210 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, whoG3588 are calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that whichG3588 is calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499;
ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 ye wereG2258 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG2889:
ButG1161 nowG3570 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 yeG5210 whoG3588 sometimesG4218 wereG5607 far offG3112 are madeG1096 nighG1451 byG1722 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 heG846 isG2076 ourG2257 peaceG1515, whoG3588 hath madeG4160 bothG297 oneG1520, andG2532 hath broken downG3089 the middle wallG3320 of partitionG5418 between us;
Having abolishedG2673 inG1722 hisG846 fleshG4561 the enmityG2189, even the lawG3551 of commandmentsG1785 contained inG1722 ordinancesG1378; for toG2443 makeG2936 inG1722 himselfG1438 of twainG1417 oneG1519+G1520 newG2537 manG444, so makingG4160 peaceG1515;
AndG2532 that he might reconcileG604 bothG297 unto GodG2316 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983 byG1223 the crossG4716, having slainG615 the enmityG2189 therebyG1722+G846: {thereby: or, in himself}
AndG2532 cameG2064 and preachedG2097 peaceG1515 to youG5213 whichG3588 were afar offG3112, andG2532 to them that were nighG1451.
ForG3754 throughG1223 himG846 weG2192 bothG297 haveG2192 accessG4318 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 untoG4314 the FatherG3962.
NowG3767 thereforeG686 ye areG2075 no moreG3765 strangersG3581 andG2532 foreignersG3941, butG235 fellowcitizensG4847 with the saintsG40, andG2532 of the householdG3609 of GodG2316;
And are builtG2026 uponG1909 the foundationG2310 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846 beingG5607 the chief cornerG204 stone;
InG1722 whomG3739 allG3956 the buildingG3619 fitly framed togetherG4883 growethG837 untoG1519 an holyG40 templeG3485 inG1722 the LordG2962:
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 are builded togetherG4925 forG1519 an habitationG2732 of GodG2316 throughG1722 the SpiritG4151.
That whichG3739 we have seenG3708 andG2532 heardG191 declare weG518 unto youG5213, thatG2443 yeG5210 alsoG2532 may haveG2192 fellowshipG2842 withG3326 usG2257: andG2532 truly ourG2251 fellowshipG2842+G1161 is withG3326 the FatherG3962, andG2532 withG3326 hisG846 SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
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 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}
