V.1 And it was told 5046-93 Joab, 3097 Behold, the king 4428 weepeth 1058-6 and mourneth 56-101 for Absalom. 53

19:2 And the victory 8668 that day 3117 was [turned] into mourning 60 unto all the people: 5971 for the people 5971 heard 8085-1 say 559-2 that day 3117 how the king 4428 was grieved 6087-8 for his son. 1121

19:3 And the people 5971 gat 935-2 them by stealth 1589-101 that day 3117 into the city, 5892 as people 5971 being ashamed 3637-12 steal away 1589-101 when they flee 5127-2 in battle. 4421

19:4 But the king 4428 covered 3813-1 his face, 6440 and the king 4428 cried 2199-4 with a loud 1419 voice, 6963 O my son 1121 Absalom, 53 O Absalom, 53 my son, 1121 my son! 1121

19:5 And Joab 3097 came 935-4 into the house 1004 to the king, 4428 and said, 559-4 Thou hast shamed 3001-52 this day 3117 the faces 6440 of all thy servants, 5650 which this day 3117 have saved 4422-18 thy life, 5315 and the lives 5315 of thy sons 1121 and of thy daughters, 1323 and the lives 5315 of thy wives, 802 and the lives 5315 of thy concubines; 6370

19:6 In that thou lovest 157-2 thine enemies, 8130-6 and hatest 8130-2 thy friends. 157-6 For thou hast declared 5046- 52 this day, 3117 that thou regardest neither princes 8269 nor servants: 5650 for this day 3117 I perceive, 3045-1 that if 3863 Absalom 53 had lived, 2416 and all we had died 4191-5 this day, 3117 then it had pleased 3477 5869 thee well.

19:7 Now therefore arise, 6965-3 go forth, 3318-3 and speak 1696-16 comfortably 3820 unto thy servants: 5650 for I swear 7650-8 by the LORD, 3068 if thou go not forth, 3318-6 there will not tarry 3885-4 one 376 with thee this night: 3915 and that will be worse 7489-1 unto thee than all the evil 7451 that befell 935-1 thee from thy youth 5271 until now.

19:8 Then the king 4428 arose, 6965-4 and sat 3427-4 in the gate. 8179 And they told 5046-52 unto all the people, 5971 saying, 559-2 Behold, the king 4428 doth sit 3427-6 in the gate. 8179 And all the people 5971 came 935-4 before 6440 the king: 4428 for Israel 3478 had fled 5127-1 every man 376 to his tent. 168

19:9 And all the people 5971 were at strife 1777-12 throughout all the tribes 7626 of Israel, 3478 saying, 559-2 The king 4428 saved 5337-52 us out of the hand 3709 of our enemies, 341-6 and he delivered 4422-14 us out of the hand 3709 of the Philistines; 6430 and now he is fled 1272-1 out of the land 776 for Absalom. 53

19:10 And Absalom, 53 whom we anointed 4886-1 over us, is dead 4191-1 in battle. 4421 Now therefore why speak ye not a word 2790-56 of bringing the king 4428 back? 7725-53

19:11 And king 4428 David 1732 sent 7971-1 to Zadok 6659 and to Abiathar 54 the priests, 3548 saying, 559-2 Speak 1696-16 unto the elders 2205 of Judah, 3063 saying, 559-2 Why are ye the last 314 to bring the king 4428 back 7725-53 to his house? 1004 seeing the speech 1697 of all Israel 3478 is come 935-1 to the king, 4428 [even] to his house. 1004

19:12 Ye [are] my brethren, 251 ye [are] my bones 6106 and my flesh: 1320 wherefore then are ye the last 314 to bring back 7725-53 the king? 4428

19:13 And say 559-4 ye to Amasa, 6021 [Art] thou not of my bone, 6106 and of my flesh? 1320 God 430 do 6213-4 so to me, and more 3254-55 also, if thou be not captain 8269 of the host 6635 before 6440 me continually 3605 3117 in the room 8478 of Joab. 3097

19:14 And he bowed 5186-55 the heart 3824 of all the men 376 of Judah, 3063 even as [the heart of] one 259 man; 376 so that they sent 7971-4 [this word] unto the king, 4428 Return 7725-3 thou, and all thy servants. 5650

19:15 So the king 4428 returned, 7725-4 and came 935-4 to Jordan. 3383 And Judah 3063 came 935-1 to Gilgal, 1537 to go 3212-2 to meet 7125-2 the king, 4428 to conduct the king 4428 over 5674-53 Jordan. 3383

19:16 And Shimei 8096 the son 1121 of Gera, 1617 a Benjamite, 1145 which [was] of Bahurim, 980 hasted 4116-17 and came down 3381-4 with the men 376 of Judah 3063 to meet 7125-2 king 4428 David. 1732

19:17 And [there were] a thousand 505 men 376 of Benjamin 1144 with him, and Ziba 6717 the servant 5288 of the house 1004 of Saul, 7586 and his fifteen 2568 6240 sons 1121 and his twenty 6242 servants 5650 with him; and they went over 6743-1 Jordan 3383 before 6440 the king. 4428

19:18 And there went over 5674-1 a ferry boat 5679 to carry over 5674-53 the king's 4428 household, 1004 and to do 6213-2 what he thought 5869 good. 2896 And Shimei 8096 the son 1121 of Gera 1617 fell down 5307-1 before 6440 the king, 4428 as he was come over 5674-2 Jordan; 3383

19:19 And said 559-4 unto the king, 4428 Let not my lord 113 impute 2803-4 iniquity 5771 unto me, neither do thou remember 2142-4 that which thy servant 5650 did perversely 5753-52 the day 3117 that my lord 113 the king 4428 went out 3318-1 of Jerusalem, 3389 that the king 4428 should take 7760-2 it to his heart. 3820

19:20 For thy servant 5650 doth know 3045-1 that I have sinned: 2398-1 therefore, behold, I am come 935-1 the first 7223 this day 3117 of all the house 1004 of Joseph 3130 to go down 3381-2 to meet 7125-2 my lord 113 the king. 4428

19:21 But Abishai 52 the son 1121 of Zeruiah 6870 answered 6030-4 and said, 559-4 Shall not Shimei 8096 be put to death 4191-93 for this, because he cursed 7043-14 the LORD'S 3068 anointed? 4899

19:22 And David 1732 said, 559-4 What have I to do with you, ye sons 1121 of Zeruiah, 6870 that ye should this day 3117 be adversaries 7854 unto me? shall there any man 376 be put to death 4191-93 this day 3117 in Israel? 3478 for do not I know 3045-1 that I [am] this day 3117 king 4428 over Israel? 3478

19:23 Therefore the king 4428 said 559-4 unto Shimei, 8096 Thou shalt not die. 4191-4 And the king 4428 sware 7650-11 unto him.

19:24 And Mephibosheth 4648 the son 1121 of Saul 7586 came down 3381-1 to meet 7125-2 the king, 4428 and had neither 3808 dressed 6213-1 his feet, 7272 nor 3808 trimmed 6213-1 his beard, 8222 nor 3808 washed 3526-14 his clothes, 899 from the day 3117 the king 4428 departed 3212-2 until the day 3117 he came 935-1 [again] in peace. 7965

19:25 And it came to pass, when he was come 935-1 to Jerusalem 3389 to meet 7125-2 the king, 4428 that the king 4428 said 559-4 unto him, Wherefore wentest 1980-1 not thou with me, Mephibosheth? 4648

19:26 And he answered, 559-4 My lord, 113 O king, 4428 my servant 5650 deceived 7411-14 me: for thy servant 5650 said, 559-1 I will saddle 2280-4 me an ass, 2543 that I may ride 7392-4 thereon, and go 3212-4 to the king; 4428 because thy servant 5650 [is] lame. 6455

19:27 And he hath slandered 7270-17 thy servant 5650 unto my lord 113 the king; 4428 but my lord 113 the king 4428 [is] as an angel 4397 of God: 430 do 6213-3 therefore [what is] good 2896 in thine eyes. 5869

19:28 For all [of] my father's 1 house 1004 were but 3808 dead 4194 men 582 before my lord 113 the king: 4428 yet didst thou set 7896-4 thy servant 5650 among them that did eat 398- 6 at thine own table. 7979 What right 6666 therefore have 3426 I yet to cry 2199-2 any more unto the king? 4428

19:29 And the king 4428 said 559-4 unto him, Why speakest 1696-17 thou any more of thy matters? 1697 I have said, 559-1 Thou and Ziba 6717 divide 2505-4 the land. 7704

19:30 And Mephibosheth 4648 said 559-4 unto the king, 4428 Yea, let him take 3947-4 all, forasmuch 310 as 834 my lord 113 the king 4428 is come 935-1 again in peace 7965 unto his own house. 1004

19:31 And Barzillai 1271 the Gileadite 1569 came down 3381-1 from Rogelim, 7274 and went over 5674-4 Jordan 3383 with the king, 4428 to conduct 7971-15 him over Jordan. 3383

19:32 Now Barzillai 1271 was a very 3966 aged 2204-1 man, [even] fourscore 8084 years 8141 old: 1121 and he had provided the king 4428 of sustenance 3557-43 while he lay 7871 at Mahanaim; 4266 for he [was] a very 3966 great 1419 man. 376

19:33 And the king 4428 said 559-4 unto Barzillai, 1271 Come thou over 5674-3 with me, and I will feed 3557-43 thee with me in Jerusalem. 3389

19:34 And Barzillai 1271 said 559-4 unto the king, 4428 How long 3117 have I to live, 8141 2416 that I should go up 5927- 4 with the king 4428 unto Jerusalem? 3389

19:35 I [am] this day 3117 fourscore 8084 years 8141 old: 1121 [and] can I discern 3045-4 between good 2896 and evil? 7451 can thy servant 5650 taste 2938-4 what 834 I eat 398-4 or what 834 I drink? 8354-4 can I hear 8085-4 any more the voice 6963 of singing 7891-6 men and singing 7891-6 women? wherefore then should thy servant 5650 be yet a burden 4853 unto my lord 113 the king? 4428

19:36 Thy servant 5650 will go a little 4592 way over 5674-4 Jordan 3383 with the king: 4428 and why should the king 4428 recompense 1580-4 it me with such a reward? 1578

19:37 Let thy servant, 5650 I pray thee, turn back again, 7725-4 that I may die 4191-4 in mine own city, 5892 [and be buried] by the grave 6913 of my father 1 and of my mother. 517 But behold thy servant 5650 Chimham; 3643 let him go over 5674-4 with my lord 113 the king; 4428 and do 6213-3 to him what shall seem good 2896 5869 unto thee.

19:38 And the king 4428 answered, 559-4 Chimham 3643 shall go over 5674-4 with me, and I will do 6213-4 to him that which shall seem good 2896 5869 unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require 977-4 of me, [that] will I do 6213-4 for thee.

19:39 And all the people 5971 went over 5674-4 Jordan. 3383 And when the king 4428 was come over, 5674-1 the king 4428 kissed 5401-4 Barzillai, 1271 and blessed 1288-17 him; and he returned 7725-4 unto his own place. 4725

19:40 Then the king 4428 went on 5674-4 to Gilgal, 1537 and Chimham 3643 went on 5674-1 with him: and all the people 5971 of Judah 3063 conducted 5674-52|5674-55-k the king, 4428 and also half 2677 the people 5971 of Israel. 3478

19:41 And, behold, all the men 376 of Israel 3478 came 935-6 to the king, 4428 and said 559-4 unto the king, 4428 Why have our brethren 251 the men 376 of Judah 3063 stolen thee away, 1589-1 and have brought 5674-55 the king, 4428 and his household, 1004 and all David's 1732 men 582 with him, over Jordan? 3383

19:42 And all the men 376 of Judah 3063 answered 6030-4 the men 376 of Israel, 3478 Because the king 4428 [is] near of kin 7138 to us: wherefore then be ye angry 2734-1 for this matter? 1697 have we eaten 398-1 at all 398-2 of the king's 4428 [cost]? or hath he given 5375-14 us any gift? 5379
