2 Samuel 19 - King James Bible with Strong Numbers

¹ H5046And it was told[H8714] H3097JoabH4428, Behold, the kingH1058weepeth[H8802] H56and mourneth[H8691] H53for Absalom.

² H8668And the victoryH3117that dayH60was turned into mourningH5971unto all the peopleH5971: for the peopleH8085heard[H8804] H559say[H8800] H3117that dayH4428how the kingH6087was grieved[H8738] H1121for his son.

³ H5971And the peopleH935gat[H8800] H1589them by stealth[H8691] H3117that dayH5892into the cityH5971, as peopleH3637being ashamed[H8737] H1589steal away[H8691] H5127when they flee[H8800] H4421in battle.

⁴ H4428But the kingH3813covered[H8804] H6440his faceH4428, and the kingH2199cried[H8799] H1419with a loudH6963voiceH1121, O my sonH53AbsalomH53, O AbsalomH1121, my sonH1121, my son!

⁵ H3097And JoabH935came[H8799] H1004into the houseH4428to the kingH559, and said[H8799] H3001, Thou hast shamed[H8689] H3117this dayH6440the facesH5650of all thy servantsH3117, which this dayH4422have saved[H8764] H5315thy lifeH5315, and the livesH1121of thy sonsH1323and of thy daughtersH5315, and the livesH802of thy wivesH5315, and the livesH6370of thy concubines;

⁶ H157In that thou lovest[H8800] H8130thine enemies[H8802] H8130, and hatest[H8800] H157thy friends[H8802] H5046. For thou hast declared[H8689] H3117this dayH8269, that thou regardest neither princesH5650nor servantsH3117: for this dayH3045I perceive[H8804] H3863, that ifH53AbsalomH2416had livedH4191, and all we had died[H8801] H3117this dayH3477, then it had pleased thee wellH5869 .

⁷ H6965Now therefore arise[H8798] H3318, go forth[H8798] H1696, and speak[H8761] H3820comfortablyH5650unto thy servantsH7650: for I swear[H8738] H3068by the LORDH3318, if thou go not forth[H8802] H3885, there will not tarry[H8799] H376oneH3915with thee this nightH7489: and that will be worse[H8804] H7451unto thee than all the evilH935that befell[H8804] H5271thee from thy youth until now.

⁸ H4428Then the kingH6965arose[H8799] H3427, and sat[H8799] H8179in the gateH5046. And they told[H8689] H5971unto all the peopleH559, saying[H8800] H4428, Behold, the kingH3427doth sit[H8802] H8179in the gateH5971. And all the peopleH935came[H8799] H6440beforeH4428the kingH3478: for IsraelH5127had fled[H8804] H376every manH168to his tent.

⁹ H5971And all the peopleH1777were at strife[H8737] H7626throughout all the tribesH3478of IsraelH559, saying[H8800] H4428, The kingH5337saved[H8689] H3709us out of the handH341of our enemies[H8802] H4422, and he delivered[H8765] H3709us out of the handH6430of the PhilistinesH1272; and now he is fled[H8804] H776out of the landH53for Absalom.

¹⁰ H53And AbsalomH4886, whom we anointed[H8804] H4191over us, is dead[H8804] H4421in battleH2790. Now therefore why speak[H8688] H7725ye not a word of bringingH4428the kingH7725back[H8687] ?

¹¹ H4428And kingH1732DavidH7971sent[H8804] H6659to ZadokH54and to AbiatharH3548the priestsH559, saying[H8800] H1696, Speak[H8761] H2205unto the eldersH3063of JudahH559, saying[H8800] H314, Why are ye the lastH7725to bringH4428the kingH7725back[H8687] H1004to his houseH1697? seeing the speechH3478of all IsraelH935is come[H8804] H4428to the kingH1004, even to his house.

¹² H251Ye are my brethrenH6106, ye are my bonesH1320and my fleshH314: wherefore then are ye the lastH7725to bring back[H8687] H4428the king?

¹³ H559And say[H8799] H6021ye to AmasaH6106, Art thou not of my boneH1320, and of my fleshH430? GodH6213do[H8799] H3254so to me, and more[H8686] H8269also, if thou be not captainH6635of the hostH6440beforeH3117me continuallyH8478in the roomH3097of Joab.

¹⁴ H5186And he bowed[H8686] H3824the heartH376of all the menH3063of JudahH259, even as the heart of oneH376manH7971; so that they sent[H8799] H4428this word unto the kingH7725, Return[H8798] H5650thou, and all thy servants.

¹⁵ H4428So the kingH7725returned[H8799] H935, and came[H8799] H3383to JordanH3063. And JudahH935came[H8804] H1537to GilgalH3212, to go[H8800] H7125to meet[H8800] H4428the kingH5674, to conductH4428the kingH5674over[H8687] H3383Jordan.

¹⁶ H8096And ShimeiH1121the sonH1617of GeraH1145, a BenjamiteH980, which was of BahurimH4116, hasted[H8762] H3381and came down[H8799] H376with the menH3063of JudahH7125to meet[H8800] H4428kingH1732David.

¹⁷ H505And there were a thousandH376menH1145of BenjaminH6717with him, and ZibaH5288the servantH1004of the houseH7586of SaulH2568, and his fifteenH6240 H1121sonsH6242and his twentyH5650servantsH6743with him; and they went over[H8804] H3383JordanH6440beforeH4428the king.

¹⁸ H5674And there went over[H8804] H5679a ferry boatH5674to carry over[H8687] H4428the king'sH1004householdH6213, and to do[H8800] H5869what he thoughtH2896goodH8096. And ShimeiH1121the sonH1617of GeraH5307fell down[H8804] H6440beforeH4428the kingH5674, as he was come over[H8800] H3383Jordan;

¹⁹ H559And said[H8799] H4428unto the kingH113, Let not my lordH2803impute[H8799] H5771iniquityH2142unto me, neither do thou remember[H8799] H5650that which thy servantH5753did perversely[H8689] H3117the dayH113that my lordH4428the kingH3318went out[H8804] H3389of JerusalemH4428, that the kingH7760should take[H8800] H3820it to his heart.

²⁰ H5650For thy servantH3045doth know[H8804] H2398that I have sinned[H8804] H935: therefore, behold, I am come[H8804] H7223the firstH3117this dayH1004of all the houseH3130of JosephH3381to go down[H8800] H7125to meet[H8800] H113my lordH4428the king.

²¹ H52But AbishaiH1121the sonH6870of ZeruiahH6030answered[H8799] H559and said[H8799] H8096, Shall not ShimeiH4191be put to death[H8714] H7043for this, because he cursed[H8765] H3068the LORD'SH4899anointed?

²² H1732And DavidH559said[H8799] H1121, What have I to do with you, ye sonsH6870of ZeruiahH3117, that ye should this dayH7854be adversariesH376unto me? shall there any manH4191be put to death[H8714] H3117this dayH3478in IsraelH3045? for do not I know[H8804] H3117that I am this dayH4428kingH3478over Israel?

²³ H4428Therefore the kingH559said[H8799] H8096unto ShimeiH4191, Thou shalt not die[H8799] H4428. And the kingH7650sware[H8735]  unto him.

²⁴ H4648And MephiboshethH1121the sonH7586of SaulH3381came down[H8804] H7125to meet[H8800] H4428the kingH3808, and had neitherH6213dressed[H8804] H7272his feetH6213, nor trimmed[H8804] H8222his beardH3526, nor washed[H8765] H899his clothesH3117, from the dayH4428the kingH3212departed[H8800] H3117until the dayH935he came[H8804] H7965again in peace.

²⁵ H935And it came to pass, when he was come[H8804] H3389to JerusalemH7125to meet[H8800] H4428the kingH4428, that the kingH559said[H8799] H1980unto him, Wherefore wentest[H8804] H4648not thou with me, Mephibosheth?

²⁶ H559And he answered[H8799] H113, My lordH4428, O kingH5650, my servantH7411deceived[H8765] H5650me: for thy servantH559said[H8804] H2280, I will saddle[H8799] H2543me an assH7392, that I may ride[H8799] H3212thereon, and go[H8799] H4428to the kingH5650; because thy servantH6455is lame.

²⁷ H7270And he hath slandered[H8762] H5650thy servantH113unto my lordH4428the kingH113; but my lordH4428the kingH4397is as an angelH430of GodH6213: do[H8798] H2896therefore what is goodH5869in thine eyes.

²⁸ H1For all of my father'sH1004houseH3808were butH4194deadH582menH113before my lordH4428the kingH7896: yet didst thou set[H8799] H5650thy servantH398among them that did eat[H8802] H7979at thine own tableH6666. What rightH3426therefore haveH2199I yet to cry[H8800] H4428any more unto the king?

²⁹ H4428And the kingH559said[H8799] H1696unto him, Why speakest[H8762] H1697thou any more of thy mattersH559? I have said[H8804] H6717, Thou and ZibaH2505divide[H8799] H7704the land.

³⁰ H4648And MephiboshethH559said[H8799] H4428unto the kingH3947, Yea, let him take[H8799] H310all, forasmuchH834asH113my lordH4428the kingH935is come again[H8804] H7965in peaceH1004unto his own house.

³¹ H1271And BarzillaiH1569the GileaditeH3381came down[H8804] H7274from RogelimH5674, and went over[H8799] H3383JordanH4428with the kingH7971, to conduct[H8763] H3383him over Jordan.

³² H1271Now BarzillaiH3966was a veryH2204aged[H8804] H8084man, even fourscoreH8141yearsH1121oldH4428: and he had provided the kingH3557of sustenance[H8773] H7871while he layH4266at MahanaimH3966; for he was a veryH1419greatH376man.

³³ H4428And the kingH559said[H8799] H1271unto BarzillaiH5674, Come thou over[H8798] H3557with me, and I will feed[H8773] H3389thee with me in Jerusalem.

³⁴ H1271And BarzillaiH559said[H8799] H4428unto the kingH3117, How longH8141have I to liveH2416 H5927, that I should go up[H8799] H4428with the kingH3389unto Jerusalem?

³⁵ H3117I am this dayH8084fourscoreH8141yearsH1121oldH3045: and can I discern[H8799] H2896between goodH7451and evilH5650? can thy servantH2938taste[H8799] H834whatH398I eat[H8799] H834or whatH8354I drink[H8799] H8085? can I hear[H8799] H6963any more the voiceH7891of singing men[H8802] H7891and singing women[H8802] H5650? wherefore then should thy servantH4853be yet a burdenH113unto my lordH4428the king?

³⁶ H5650Thy servantH5674will goH4592a little wayH5674over[H8799] H3383JordanH4428with the kingH4428: and why should the kingH1580recompense[H8799] H1578it me with such a reward?

³⁷ H5650Let thy servantH7725, I pray thee, turn back again[H8799] H4191, that I may die[H8799] H5892in mine own cityH6913, and be buried by the graveH1of my fatherH517and of my motherH5650. But behold thy servantH3643ChimhamH5674; let him go over[H8799] H113with my lordH4428the kingH6213; and do[H8798] H2896to him what shall seem goodH5869  unto thee.

³⁸ H4428And the kingH559answered[H8799] H3643, ChimhamH5674shall go[H8799] H6213over with me, and I will do[H8799] H2896to him that which shall seem goodH5869 H977unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require[H8799] H6213of me, that will I do[H8799]  for thee.

³⁹ H5971And all the peopleH5674went over[H8799] H3383JordanH4428. And when the kingH5674was come over[H8804] H4428, the kingH5401kissed[H8799] H1271BarzillaiH1288, and blessed[H8762] H7725him; and he returned[H8799] H4725unto his own place.

⁴⁰ H4428Then the kingH5674went on[H8799] H1537to GilgalH3643, and ChimhamH5674went on[H8804] H5971with him: and all the peopleH3063of JudahH5674conducted[H8689] [H8675] H5674 [H8686] H4428the kingH2677, and also halfH5971the peopleH3478of Israel.

⁴¹ H376And, behold, all the menH3478of IsraelH935came[H8802] H4428to the kingH559, and said[H8799] H4428unto the kingH251, Why have our brethrenH376the menH3063of JudahH1589stolen thee away[H8804] H5674, and have brought[H8686] H4428the kingH1004, and his householdH1732, and all David'sH582menH3383with him, over Jordan?

⁴² H376And all the menH3063of JudahH6030answered[H8799] H376the menH3478of IsraelH4428, Because the kingH7138is near of kinH2734to us: wherefore then be ye angry[H8804] H1697for this matterH398? have we eaten[H8804] H398at all[H8800] H4428of the king'sH5375cost ? or hath he given[H8765] H5379us any gift?

⁴³ H376And the menH3478of IsraelH6030answered[H8799] H376the menH3063of JudahH559, and said[H8799] H6235, We have tenH3027partsH4428in the kingH589, and weH1732have also more right in DavidH7043than ye: why then did ye despise[H8689] H1697us, that our adviceH7223should not be firstH7725had in bringing back[H8687] H4428our kingH1697? And the wordsH376of the menH3063of JudahH7185were fiercer[H8799] H1697than the wordsH376of the menH3478of Israel.
