H53And AbsalomH935came[H8799] H4428to the kingH559, and said[H8799] H5650, Behold now, thy servantH1494hath sheepshearers[H8802] H3212; letH4428the kingH5650, I beseech thee, and his servantsH3212go[H8799] H5650with thy servant.
H6310The words of his mouthH2505were smoother[H8804] H4260than butterH7128, but warH3820was in his heartH1697: his wordsH7401were softer[H8804] H8081than oilH6609, yet were they drawn swords.
H1696They speak[H8762] H7723vanityH376every oneH7453with his neighbourH2513: with flatteringH8193lipsH3820and with a doubleH3820heartH1696do they speak[H8762] .
H7235And in process[H8799] H3117of timeH1323the daughterH7770of ShuahH3063Judah'sH802wifeH4191died[H8799] H3063; and JudahH5162was comforted[H8735] H5927, and went up[H8799] H1494unto his sheepshearers[H8802] H6629 H8553to TimnathH7453, he and his friendH2437HirahH5726the Adullamite.
H8085And now I have heard[H8804] H1494that thou hast shearers[H8802] H7462: now thy shepherds[H8802] H3637which were with us, we hurt[H8689] H3972them not, neither was there oughtH6485missing[H8738] H3117unto them, all the whileH3760they were in Carmel.
H3117And it came to pass after two fullH8141yearsH53, that AbsalomH1494had sheepshearers[H8802] H1178in BaalhazorH669, which is beside EphraimH53: and AbsalomH7121invited[H8799] H4428all the king'sH1121sons.
H4428And the kingH559said[H8799] H53to AbsalomH1121, Nay, my sonH3212, let us not all now go[H8799] H3513, lest we be chargeable[H8799] H6555unto thee. And he pressed[H8799] H14him: howbeit he would[H8804] H3212not go[H8800] H1288, but blessed[H8762] him.
