[1]Now JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 perceivedH3045[H8799] that the king'sH4428 heartH3820 was toward AbsalomH53. [No book]
[2]And JoabH3097 sentH7971[H8799] to TekoahH8620, and fetchedH3947[H8799] thence a wiseH2450 womanH802, and saidH559[H8799] unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mournerH56[H8693], and put onH3847[H8798] now mourningH60 apparelH899, and anointH5480[H8799] not thyself with oilH8081, but be as a womanH802 that had a longH7227 timeH3117 mournedH56[H8690] for the deadH4191:[H8801] [No book]
[3]And comeH935[H8804] to the kingH4428, and speakH1696[H8765] on this mannerH1697 unto him. So JoabH3097 putH7760[H8799] the wordsH1697 in her mouthH6310. [No book]
[4]And when the womanH802 of TekoahH8621 spakeH559[H8799] to the kingH4428, she fellH5307[H8799] on her faceH639 to the groundH776, and did obeisanceH7812[H8691], and saidH559[H8799], HelpH3467[H8685], O kingH4428. [No book]
[5]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto her, What aileth thee? And she answeredH559[H8799], I am indeedH61 a widowH490 womanH802, and mine husbandH376 is deadH4191.[H8799] [No book]
[6]And thy handmaidH8198 had twoH8147 sonsH1121, and they twoH8147 strove togetherH5327[H8735] in the fieldH7704, and there was none to partH5337[H8688] them, but the oneH259 smoteH5221[H8686] the otherH259, and slewH4191 himH8686. [No book]
[7]And, behold, the whole familyH4940 is risenH6965[H8804] against thine handmaidH8198, and they saidH559[H8799], DeliverH5414[H8798] him that smoteH5221[H8688] his brotherH251, that we may killH4191[H8686] him, for the lifeH5315 of his brotherH251 whom he slewH2026[H8804]; and we will destroyH8045[H8686] the heirH3423[H8802] also: and so they shall quenchH3518[H8765] my coalH1513 which is leftH7760[H8800], and shall not leaveH7604[H8738] to my husbandH376 neither nameH8034 nor remainderH7611 uponH6440 the earthH127. [No book]
[8]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto the womanH802, GoH3212[H8798] to thine houseH1004, and I will give chargeH6680 concerning theeH8762. [No book]
[9]And the womanH802 of TekoahH8621 saidH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428, My lordH113, O kingH4428, the iniquityH5771 be on me, and on my father'sH1 houseH1004: and the kingH4428 and his throneH3678 be guiltlessH5355. [No book]
[10]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], Whosoever saithH1696[H8764] ought unto thee, bringH935[H8689] him to me, and he shall not touchH5060[H8800] thee any moreH3254.[H8686] [No book]
[11]Then saidH559[H8799] she, I pray thee, let the kingH4428 rememberH2142[H8799] the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengersH1350[H8802] of bloodH1818 to destroyH7843[H8763] any moreH7235[H8687], lest they destroyH8045[H8686] my sonH1121. And he saidH559[H8799], As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, there shall not one hairH8185 of thy sonH1121 fallH5307[H8799] to the earthH776. [No book]
[12]Then the womanH802 saidH559[H8799], Let thine handmaidH8198, I pray thee, speakH1696[H8762] one wordH1697 unto my lordH113 the kingH4428. And he saidH559[H8799], Say onH1696.[H8761] [No book]
[13]And the womanH802 saidH559[H8799], Wherefore then hast thou thoughtH2803[H8804] such a thing against the peopleH5971 of GodH430? for the kingH4428 doth speakH1696[H8693] this thingH1697 as one which is faultyH818, in that the kingH4428 doth not fetch home againH7725[H8687] his banishedH5080.[H8737] [No book]
[14]For we must needsH4191[H8800] dieH4191[H8799], and are as waterH4325 spiltH5064[H8737] on the groundH776, which cannot be gathered up againH622[H8735]; neither doth GodH430 respectH5375[H8799] any personH5315: yet doth he deviseH2803[H8804] meansH4284, that his banishedH5080[H8737] be not expelledH5080 from himH8799. [No book]
[15]Now therefore that I am comeH935[H8804] to speakH1696[H8763] of this thingH1697 unto my lordH113 the kingH4428, it is because the peopleH5971 have made me afraidH3372[H8765]: and thy handmaidH8198 saidH559[H8799], I will now speakH1696[H8762] unto the kingH4428; it may be that the kingH4428 will performH6213[H8799] the requestH1697 of his handmaidH519. [No book]
[16]For the kingH4428 will hearH8085[H8799], to deliverH5337[H8687] his handmaidH519 out of the handH3709 of the manH376 that would destroyH8045[H8687] me and my sonH1121 togetherH3162 out of the inheritanceH5159 of GodH430. [No book]
[17]Then thine handmaidH8198 saidH559[H8799], The wordH1697 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall now be comfortableH4496: for as an angelH4397 of GodH430, so is my lordH113 the kingH4428 to discernH8085[H8800] goodH2896 and badH7451: therefore the LORDH3068 thy God will be with theeH430. [No book]
[18]Then the kingH4428 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799] unto the womanH802, HideH3582[H8762] not from me, I pray thee, the thingH1697 that I shall askH7592[H8802] thee. And the womanH802 saidH559[H8799], Let my lordH113 the kingH4428 now speakH1696.[H8762] [No book]
[19]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], Is not the handH3027 of JoabH3097 with thee in all this? And the womanH802 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], As thy soulH5315 livethH2416, my lordH113 the kingH4428, noneH376 canH786 turn to the right handH3231[H8687] or to the leftH8041[H8687] from ought that my lordH113 the kingH4428 hath spokenH1696[H8765]: for thy servantH5650 JoabH3097, he badeH6680[H8765] me, and he putH7760[H8804] all these wordsH1697 in the mouthH6310 of thine handmaidH8198: [No book]
[20]ToH5668 fetch aboutH5437[H8763] this formH6440 of speechH1697 hath thy servantH5650 JoabH3097 doneH6213[H8804] this thingH1697: and my lordH113 is wiseH2450, according to the wisdomH2451 of an angelH4397 of GodH430, to knowH3045[H8800] all things that are in the earthH776. [No book]
[21]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto JoabH3097, Behold now, I have doneH6213[H8804] this thingH1697: goH3212[H8798] therefore, bringH7725 the young manH5288 AbsalomH53 againH7725.[H8685] [No book]
[22]And JoabH3097 fellH5307[H8799] to the groundH776 on his faceH6440, and bowedH7812[H8691] himself, and thankedH1288[H8762] the kingH4428: and JoabH3097 saidH559[H8799], To dayH3117 thy servantH5650 knowethH3045[H8804] that I have foundH4672[H8804] graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, my lordH113, O kingH4428, in that the kingH4428 hath fulfilledH6213[H8804] the requestH1697 of his servantH5650. [No book]
[23]So JoabH3097 aroseH6965[H8799] and wentH3212[H8799] to GeshurH1650, and broughtH935[H8686] AbsalomH53 to JerusalemH3389. [No book]
[24]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], Let him turnH5437[H8735] to his own houseH1004, and let him not seeH7200[H8799] my faceH6440. So AbsalomH53 returnedH5437[H8735] to his own houseH1004, and sawH7200[H8804] not the king'sH4428 faceH6440. [No book]
[25]But in all IsraelH3478 there was noneH376 to be so muchH3966 praisedH1984[H8763] as AbsalomH53 for his beautyH3303: from the soleH3709 of his footH7272 even to the crown of his headH6936 there was no blemish in himH3971. [No book]
[26]And when he polledH1548[H8763] his headH7218, (for it was at every year'sH3117[H3117] endH7093 that he polledH1548[H8762] it: because the hair was heavyH3513[H8804] on him, therefore he polledH1548[H8765] it:) he weighedH8254[H8804] the hairH8181 of his headH7218 at two hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 after the king'sH4428 weightH68. [No book]
[27]And unto AbsalomH53 there were bornH3205[H8735] threeH7969 sonsH1121, and oneH259 daughterH1323, whose nameH8034 was TamarH8559: she was a womanH802 of a fairH3303 countenanceH4758. [No book]
[28]So AbsalomH53 dweltH3427[H8799] two fullH3117 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389, and sawH7200[H8804] not the king'sH4428 faceH6440. [No book]
[29]Therefore AbsalomH53 sentH7971[H8799] for JoabH3097, to have sentH7971[H8800] him to the kingH4428; but he wouldH14[H8804] not comeH935[H8800] to him: and when he sent againH7971[H8799] the second timeH8145, he wouldH14[H8804] not comeH935.[H8800] [No book]
[30]Therefore he saidH559[H8799] unto his servantsH5650, SeeH7200[H8798], Joab'sH3097 fieldH2513 is nearH413 mineH3027, and he hath barleyH8184 there; goH3212[H8798] and setH3341[H8685] it on fireH784. And Absalom'sH53 servantsH5650 setH3341[H8686] the fieldH2513 on fireH784. [No book]
[31]Then JoabH3097 aroseH6965[H8799], and cameH935[H8799] to AbsalomH53 unto his houseH1004, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Wherefore have thy servantsH5650 setH3341[H8689] my fieldH2513 on fireH784? [No book]
[32]And AbsalomH53 answeredH559[H8799] JoabH3097, Behold, I sentH7971[H8804] unto thee, sayingH559[H8800], ComeH935[H8798] hither, that I may sendH7971[H8799] thee to the kingH4428, to sayH559[H8800], Wherefore am I comeH935[H8804] from GeshurH1650? it had been goodH2896 for me to have been there still: now therefore let me seeH7200[H8799] the king'sH4428 faceH6440; and if there beH3426 any iniquityH5771 in me, let him killH4191 meH8689. [No book]
[33]So JoabH3097 cameH935[H8799] to the kingH4428, and toldH5046[H8686] him: and when he had calledH7121[H8799] for AbsalomH53, he cameH935[H8799] to the kingH4428, and bowedH7812[H8691] himself on his faceH639 to the groundH776 beforeH6440 the kingH4428: and the kingH4428 kissedH5401[H8799] AbsalomH53.
