| 2Sa 14:1 | Now Joab H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 perceived H3045 that H3588 the king's H4428 heart H3820 was toward H5921 Absalom.H53 |
| 2Sa 14:2 | And Joab H3097 sent H7971 to Tekoah, H8620 and fetched H3947 thence H4480 H8033 a wise H2450 woman, H802 and said H559 unto H413 her, I pray thee, H4994 feign thyself to be a mourner, H56 and put on H3847 now H4994 mourning H60 apparel, H899 and anoint H5480 not H408 thyself with oil, H8081 but be H1961 as a woman H802 that H2088 had a long H7227 time H3117 mourned H56 for H5921 the dead:H4191 |
| 2Sa 14:3 | And come H935 to H413 the king, H4428 and speak H1696 on H413 this H2088 manner H1697 unto H413 him. So Joab H3097 put H7760 (H853) the words H1697 in her mouth.H6310 |
| 2Sa 14:4 | And when the woman H802 of Tekoah H8621 spake H559 to H413 the king, H4428 she fell H5307 on H5921 her face H639 to the ground, H776 and did obeisance, H7812 and said, H559 Help, H3467 O king.H4428 |
| 2Sa 14:5 | And the king H4428 said H559 unto her, What H4100 aileth thee? And she answered, H559 I H589 am indeed H61 a widow H490 woman, H802 and mine husband H376 is dead.H4191 |
| 2Sa 14:6 | And thy handmaid H8198 had two H8147 sons, H1121 and they two H8147 strove together H5327 in the field, H7704 and there was none H369 to part H5337 H996 them, but the one H259 smote H5221 (H853) the other, H259 and slew H4191 him. |
| 2Sa 14:7 | And, behold, H2009 the whole H3605 family H4940 is risen H6965 against H5921 thine handmaid, H8198 and they said, H559 Deliver H5414 (H853) him that smote H5221 his brother, H251 that we may kill H4191 him, for the life H5315 of his brother H251 whom H834 he slew; H2026 and we will destroy H8045 (H853) the heir H3423 also: H1571 and so they shall quench H3518 (H853) my coal H1513 which H834 is left, H7604 and shall not H1115 leave H7604 to my husband H376 neither name H8034 nor remainder H7611 upon H5921 H6440 the earth.H127 |
| 2Sa 14:8 | And the king H4428 said H559 unto H413 the woman, H802 Go H1980 to thine house, H1004 and I H589 will give charge H6680 concerning H5921 thee. |
| 2Sa 14:9 | And the woman H802 of Tekoah H8621 said H559 unto H413 the king, H4428 My lord, H113 O king, H4428 the iniquity H5771 be on H5921 me, and on H5921 my father's H1 house: H1004 and the king H4428 and his throne H3678 be guiltless.H5355 |
| 2Sa 14:10 | And the king H4428 said, H559 Whosoever saith H1696 ought unto H413 thee, bring H935 him to H413 me, and he shall not H3808 touch H5060 thee any H3254 more.H5750 |
| 2Sa 14:11 | Then said H559 she, I pray thee, H4994 let the king H4428 remember H2142 (H853) the LORD H3068 thy God, H430 that thou wouldest not H3808 suffer the revengers H1350 of blood H1818 to destroy H7843 any more, H7235 lest they destroy H8045 (H853) my son. H1121 And he said, H559 As the LORD H3068 liveth, H2416 there shall not H518 one hair H4480 H8185 of thy son H1121 fall H5307 to the earth.H776 |
| 2Sa 14:12 | Then the woman H802 said, H559 Let thine handmaid, H8198 I pray thee, H4994 speak H1696 one word H1697 unto H413 my lord H113 the king. H4428 And he said, H559 Say on.H1696 |
| 2Sa 14:13 | And the woman H802 said, H559 Wherefore H4100 then hast thou thought H2803 such H2063 a thing against H5921 the people H5971 of God? H430 for the king H4428 doth speak H4480 H1696 this H2088 thing H1697 as one which is faulty, H818 in that the king H4428 doth not H1115 fetch home again H7725 (H853) his banished.H5080 |
| 2Sa 14:14 | For H3588 we must needs die, H4191 H4191 and are as water H4325 spilt H5064 on the ground, H776 which H834 cannot H3808 be gathered up H622 again; neither H3808 doth God H430 respect H5375 any person: H5315 yet doth he devise H2803 means, H4284 that his banished H5080 be not expelled H5080 from H4480 him. |
| 2Sa 14:15 | Now H6258 therefore that H834 I am come H935 to speak H1696 of(H853) this H2088 thing H1697 unto H413 my lord H113 the king, H4428 it is because H3588 the people H5971 have made me afraid: H3372 and thy handmaid H8198 said, H559 I will now H4994 speak H1696 unto H413 the king; H4428 it may be H194 that the king H4428 will perform H6213 (H853) the request H1697 of his handmaid.H519 |
| 2Sa 14:16 | For H3588 the king H4428 will hear, H8085 to deliver H5337 (H853) his handmaid H519 out of the hand H4480 H3709 of the man H376 that would destroy H8045 me and my son H1121 together H3162 out of the inheritance H4480 H5159 of God.H430 |
| 2Sa 14:17 | Then thine handmaid H8198 said, H559 The word H1697 of my lord H113 the king H4428 shall now H4994 be H1961 comfortable: H4496 for H3588 as an angel H4397 of God, H430 so H3651 is my lord H113 the king H4428 to discern H8085 good H2896 and bad: H7451 therefore the LORD H3068 thy God H430 will be H1961 with H5973 thee. |
| 2Sa 14:18 | Then the king H4428 answered H6030 and said H559 unto H413 the woman, H802 Hide H3582 not H408 from H4480 me, I pray thee, H4994 the thing H1697 that H834 I H595 shall ask H7592 thee. And the woman H802 said, H559 Let my lord H113 the king H4428 now H4994 speak.H1696 |
| 2Sa 14:19 | And the king H4428 said, H559 Is not the hand H3027 of Joab H3097 with H854 thee in all H3605 this? H2063 And the woman H802 answered H6030 and said, H559 As thy soul H5315 liveth, H2416 my lord H113 the king, H4428 none can turn H518 H786 to the right H3231 hand or to the left H8041 from ought H4480 H3605 that H834 my lord H113 the king H4428 hath spoken: H1696 for H3588 thy servant H5650 Joab, H3097 he H1931 bade H6680 me, and he H1931 put H7760 (H853) all H3605 these H428 words H1697 in the mouth H6310 of thine handmaid:H8198 |
| 2Sa 14:20 | To H5668 fetch about H5437 (H853) this form H6440 of speech H1697 hath thy servant H5650 Joab H3097 done H6213 (H853) this H2088 thing: H1697 and my lord H113 is wise, H2450 according to the wisdom H2451 of an angel H4397 of God, H430 to know H3045 (H853) all H3605 things that H834 are in the earth.H776 |
| 2Sa 14:21 | And the king H4428 said H559 unto H413 Joab, H3097 Behold H2009 now, H4994 I have done H6213 (H853) this H2088 thing: H1697 go H1980 therefore, bring H7725 (H853) the young man H5288 Absalom H53 again. |
| 2Sa 14:22 | And Joab H3097 fell H5307 to the ground H776 on H413 his face, H6440 and bowed himself, H7812 and thanked H1288 (H853) the king: H4428 and Joab H3097 said, H559 To day H3117 thy servant H5650 knoweth H3045 that H3588 I have found H4672 grace H2580 in thy sight, H5869 my lord, H113 O king, H4428 in that H834 the king H4428 hath fulfilled H6213 (H853) the request H1697 of his servant.H5650 |
| 2Sa 14:23 | So Joab H3097 arose H6965 and went H1980 to Geshur, H1650 and brought H935 (H853) Absalom H53 to Jerusalem.H3389 |
| 2Sa 14:24 | And the king H4428 said, H559 Let him turn H5437 to H413 his own house, H1004 and let him not H3808 see H7200 my face. H6440 So Absalom H53 returned H5437 to H413 his own house, H1004 and saw H7200 not H3808 the king's H4428 face.H6440 |
| 2Sa 14:25 | But in all H3605 Israel H3478 there was H1961 none H3808 H376 to be so much H3966 praised H1984 as Absalom H53 for his beauty: H3303 from the sole H4480 H3709 of his foot H7272 even to H5704 the crown of his head H6936 there was H1961 no H3808 blemish H3971 in him. |
| 2Sa 14:26 | And when he polled H1548 (H853) his head, H7218 (for it was H1961 at every year's end H4480 H7093 H3117 H3117 that H834 he polled H1548 it: because H3588 the hair was heavy H3513 on H5921 him, therefore he polled H1548 it:) he weighed H8254 (H853) the hair H8181 of his head H7218 at two hundred H3967 shekels H8255 after the king's H4428 weight.H68 |
| 2Sa 14:27 | And unto Absalom H53 there were born H3205 three H7969 sons, H1121 and one H259 daughter, H1323 whose name H8034 was Tamar: H8559 she H1931 was H1961 a woman H802 of a fair H3303 countenance.H4758 |
| 2Sa 14:28 | So Absalom H53 dwelt H3427 two full years H8141 H3117 in Jerusalem, H3389 and saw H7200 not H3808 the king's H4428 face.H6440 |
| 2Sa 14:29 | Therefore Absalom H53 sent H7971 for H413 Joab, H3097 to have sent H7971 him to H413 the king; H4428 but he would H14 not H3808 come H935 to H413 him: and when he sent H7971 again H5750 the second time, H8145 he would H14 not H3808 come.H935 |
| 2Sa 14:30 | Therefore he said H559 unto H413 his servants, H5650 See, H7200 Joab's H3097 field H2513 is near H413 mine, H3027 and he hath barley H8184 there; H8033 go H1980 and set H3341 it on fire. H784 And Absalom's H53 servants H5650 set H3341 (H853) the field H2513 on fire.H784 |
| 2Sa 14:31 | Then Joab H3097 arose, H6965 and came H935 to H413 Absalom H53 unto his house, H1004 and said H559 unto H413 him, Wherefore H4100 have thy servants H5650 set H3341 (H853) my field H2513 on fire?H784 |
| 2Sa 14:32 | And Absalom H53 answered H559 H413 Joab, H3097 Behold, H2009 I sent H7971 unto H413 thee, saying, H559 Come H935 hither, H2008 that I may send H7971 thee to H413 the king, H4428 to say, H559 Wherefore H4100 am I H589 come H935 from Geshur? H4480 H1650 it had been good H2896 for me to have been there H8033 still: H5750 now H6258 therefore let me see H7200 the king's H4428 face; H6440 and if H518 there be H3426 any iniquity H5771 in me, let him kill H4191 me. |
| 2Sa 14:33 | So Joab H3097 came H935 to H413 the king, H4428 and told H5046 him: and when he had called H7121 for H413 Absalom, H53 he came H935 to H413 the king, H4428 and bowed H7812 himself on H5921 his face H639 to the ground H776 before H6440 the king: H4428 and the king H4428 kissed H5401 Absalom.H53 |
