2 Samuel 16

KJV

1  And when David¹⁷³² was a little⁴⁵⁹² past⁵⁶⁷⁴ the top^{4480 7218} of the hill, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Ziba⁶⁷¹⁷ the servant⁵²⁸⁸ of Mephibosheth⁴⁶⁴⁸ met⁷¹²⁵ him, with a couple⁶⁷⁷⁶ of asses²⁵⁴³ saddled,²²⁸⁰ and upon⁵⁹²¹ them two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ loaves of bread,³⁸⁹⁹ and a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ bunches of raisins,⁶⁷⁷⁸ and a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ of summer fruits,⁷⁰¹⁹ and a bottle⁵⁰³⁵ of wine.³¹⁹⁶

2  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Ziba,⁶⁷¹⁷ What⁴¹⁰⁰ meanest thou by these?⁴²⁸ And Ziba⁶⁷¹⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ The asses²⁵⁴³ be for the king's⁴⁴²⁸ household¹⁰⁰⁴ to ride on;⁷³⁹² and the bread³⁸⁹⁹ and summer fruit⁷⁰¹⁹ for the young men⁵²⁸⁸ to eat;³⁹⁸ and the wine,³¹⁹⁶ that such as be faint³²⁸⁷ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ may drink.⁸³⁵⁴

3  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ And where³⁴⁶ is thy master's¹¹³ son?¹¹²¹ And Ziba⁶⁷¹⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he abideth³⁴²⁷ at Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ he said,⁵⁵⁹ Today³¹¹⁷ shall the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ restore⁷⁷²⁵ me ⁸⁵³ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁸ of my father.¹

4  Then said⁵⁵⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ to Ziba,⁶⁷¹⁷ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thine are all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ pertained unto Mephibosheth.⁴⁶⁴⁸ And Ziba⁶⁷¹⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ I humbly beseech⁷⁸¹² thee that I may find⁴⁶⁷² grace²⁵⁸⁰ in thy sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ my lord,¹¹³ O king.⁴⁴²⁸

5  And when king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² came⁹³⁵ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ Bahurim,⁹⁸⁰ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thence^{4480 8033} came out³³¹⁸ a man³⁷⁶ of the family^{4480 4940} of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Shimei,⁸⁰⁹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Gera:¹⁶¹⁷ he came forth,³³¹⁸ and cursed⁷⁰⁴³ still as he came.³³¹⁸

6  And he cast⁵⁶¹⁹ stones⁶⁸ at ⁸⁵³ David,¹⁷³² and at all³⁶⁰⁵ the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of king⁴⁴²⁸ David:¹⁷³² and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the mighty men¹³⁶⁸ were on his right hand^{4480 3225} and on his left.^{4480 8040}

7  And thus³⁵⁴¹ said⁵⁵⁹ Shimei⁸⁰⁹⁶ when he cursed,⁷⁰⁴³ Come out,³³¹⁸ come out,³³¹⁸ thou bloody¹⁸¹⁸ man,³⁷⁶ and thou man³⁷⁶ of Belial:¹¹⁰⁰

8  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath returned⁷⁷²⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ thee all³⁶⁰⁵ the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ in whose⁸³⁴ stead⁸⁴⁷⁸ thou hast reigned;⁴⁴²⁷ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath delivered^{5414 853} the kingdom⁴⁴¹⁰ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Absalom⁵³ thy son:¹¹²¹ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thou art taken in thy mischief,⁷⁴⁵¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art a bloody¹⁸¹⁸ man.³⁷⁶

9  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Abishai⁵² the son¹¹²¹ of Zeruiah⁶⁸⁷⁰ unto⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Why⁴¹⁰⁰ should this²⁰⁸⁸ dead⁴¹⁹¹ dog³⁶¹¹ curse^{7043 853} my lord¹¹³ the king?⁴⁴²⁸ let me go over,⁵⁶⁷⁴ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and take off^{5493 853} his head.⁷²¹⁸

10  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ have I to do with you, ye sons¹¹²¹ of Zeruiah?⁶⁸⁷⁰ so³⁵⁴¹ let him curse,⁷⁰⁴³ because³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Curse^{7043 853} David.¹⁷³² Who⁴³¹⁰ shall then say,⁵⁵⁹ Wherefore⁴⁰⁶⁹ hast thou done⁶²¹³ so?³⁶⁵¹

11  And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Abishai,⁵² and to⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ my son,¹¹²¹ which⁸³⁴ came forth³³¹⁸ of my bowels,^{4480 4578} seeketh^{1245 853} my life:⁵³¹⁵ how much more^{637 3588} now⁶²⁵⁸ may this Benjamite¹¹⁴⁵ do it? let him alone,⁵¹¹⁷ and let him curse;⁷⁰⁴³ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath bidden⁵⁵⁹ him.

12  It may be¹⁹⁴ that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will look⁷²⁰⁰ on mine affliction,⁶⁰⁴⁰ and that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will requite⁷⁷²⁵ me good²⁸⁹⁶ for⁸⁴⁷⁸ his cursing⁷⁰⁴⁵ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

13  And as David¹⁷³² and his men³⁷⁶ went¹⁹⁸⁰ by the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ Shimei⁸⁰⁹⁶ went along¹⁹⁸⁰ on the hill's²⁰²² side⁶⁷⁶³ over against⁵⁹⁸⁰ him, and cursed⁷⁰⁴³ as he went,¹⁹⁸⁰ and threw⁵⁶¹⁹ stones⁶⁸ at⁵⁹⁸⁰ him, and cast⁶⁰⁸⁰ dust.⁶⁰⁸³

14  And the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ were with⁸⁵⁴ him, came⁹³⁵ weary,⁵⁸⁸⁹ and refreshed themselves⁵³¹⁴ there.⁸⁰³³

15  And Absalom,⁵³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ the men³⁷⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and Ahithophel³⁰² with⁸⁵⁴ him.

16  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when⁸³⁴ Hushai²³⁶⁵ the Archite,⁷⁵⁷ David's¹⁷³² friend,⁷⁴⁶³ was come⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ Absalom,⁵³ that Hushai²³⁶⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Absalom,⁵³ God save²⁴²¹ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ God save²⁴²¹ the king.⁴⁴²⁸

17  And Absalom⁵³ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Hushai,²³⁶⁵ Is this²⁰⁸⁸ thy kindness²⁶¹⁷ to ⁸⁵³ thy friend?⁷⁴⁵³ why⁴¹⁰⁰ wentest¹⁹⁸⁰ thou not³⁸⁰⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ thy friend?⁷⁴⁵³

18  And Hushai²³⁶⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Absalom,⁵³ Nay;³⁸⁰⁸ but³⁵⁸⁸ whom⁸³⁴ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the men³⁷⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ choose,⁹⁷⁷ his will I be,¹⁹⁶¹ and with⁸⁵⁴ him will I abide.³⁴²⁷

19  And again,⁸¹⁴⁵ whom⁴³¹⁰ should I⁵⁸⁹ serve?⁵⁶⁴⁷ should I not³⁸⁰⁸ serve in the presence⁶⁴⁴⁰ of his son?¹¹²¹ as⁸³⁴ I have served⁵⁶⁴⁷ in thy father's¹ presence,⁶⁴⁴⁰ so³⁶⁵¹ will I be¹⁹⁶¹ in thy presence.⁶⁴⁴⁰

20  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Absalom⁵³ to⁴¹³ Ahithophel,³⁰² Give³⁰⁵¹ counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ among you what⁴¹⁰⁰ we shall do.⁶²¹³

21  And Ahithophel³⁰² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Absalom,⁵³ Go⁹³⁵ in unto⁴¹³ thy father's¹ concubines,⁶³⁷⁰ which⁸³⁴ he hath left⁵¹¹⁷ to keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shall hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou art abhorred⁸⁸⁷ of⁸⁵⁴ thy father:¹ then shall the hands³⁰²⁷ of all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ are with⁸⁵⁴ thee be strong.²³⁸⁸

22  So they spread⁵¹⁸⁶ Absalom⁵³ a tent¹⁶⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ the top¹⁴⁰⁶ of the house; and Absalom⁵³ went⁹³⁵ in unto⁴¹³ his father's¹ concubines⁶³⁷⁰ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

23  And the counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ of Ahithophel,³⁰² which⁸³⁴ he counseled³²⁸⁹ in those¹⁹⁹² days,³¹¹⁷ was as⁸³⁴ if a man³⁷⁶ had inquired⁷⁵⁹² at the oracle¹⁶⁹⁷ of God:⁴³⁰ so³⁶⁵¹ was all³⁶⁰⁵ the counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ of Ahithophel³⁰² both¹⁵⁷¹ with David¹⁷³² and¹⁵⁷¹ with Absalom.⁵³

1 καὶ Δαυιδ παρῆλθεν βραχύ τι ἀπὸ τῆς Ροως καὶ ἰδοὺ Σιβα τὸ παιδάριον Μεμφιβοσθε εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ζεῦγος ὄνων ἐπισεσαγμένων καὶ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς διακόσιοι ἄρτοι καὶ ἑκατὸν σταφίδες καὶ ἑκατὸν φοίνικες καὶ Νεβελ οἴνου

2 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σιβα τί ταῦτά σοι καὶ εἶπεν Σιβα τὰ ὑποζύγια τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ ἐπικαθῆσθαι καὶ οἱ ἄρτοι καὶ οἱ φοίνικες εἰς βρῶσιν τοῖς παιδαρίοις καὶ ὁ οἶνος πιεῖν τοῖς ἐκλελυμένοις ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ

3 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς καὶ ποῦ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ κυρίου σου καὶ εἶπεν Σιβα πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἰδοὺ κάθηται ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ὅτι εἶπεν σήμερον ἐπιστρέψουσίν μοι ὁ οἶκος Ισραηλ τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ πατρός μου

4 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Σιβα ιδοὺ σοὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν τῷ Μεμφιβοσθε καὶ εἶπεν Σιβα προσκυνήσας εὕροιμι χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ

5 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυιδ ἕως Βαουριμ καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖθεν ἀνὴρ ἐξεπορεύετο ἐκ συγγενείας οἴκου Σαουλ καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Σεμεϊ υἱὸς Γηρα ἐξῆλθεν ἐκπορευόμενος καὶ καταρώμενος

6 καὶ λιθάζων ἐν λίθοις τὸν Δαυιδ καὶ πάντας τοὺς παῖδας τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυιδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἦν καὶ πάντες οἱ δυνατοὶ ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων τοῦ βασιλέως

7 καὶ οὕτως ἔλεγεν Σεμεϊ ἐν τῷ καταρᾶσθαι αὐτόν ἔξελθε ἔξελθε ἀνὴρ αἱμάτων καὶ ἀνὴρ ὁ παράνομος

8 ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπὶ σὲ κύριος πάντα τὰ αἵματα τοῦ οἴκου Σαουλ ὅτι ἐβασίλευσας ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν κύριος τὴν βασιλείαν ἐν χειρὶ Αβεσσαλωμ τοῦ υἱοῦ σου καὶ ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν τῇ κακίᾳ σου ὅτι ἀνὴρ αἱμάτων σύ

9 καὶ εἶπεν Αβεσσα υἱὸς Σαρουιας πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἵνα τί καταρᾶται ὁ κύων ὁ τεθνηκὼς οὗτος τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα διαβήσομαι δὴ καὶ ἀφελῶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ

10 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς τί ἐμοὶ καὶ ὑμῖν υἱοὶ Σαρουιας ἄφετε αὐτὸν καὶ οὕτως καταράσθω ὅτι κύριος εἶπεν αὐτῷ καταρᾶσθαι τὸν Δαυιδ καὶ τίς ἐρεῖ ὡς τί ἐποίησας οὕτως

11 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Αβεσσα καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἐξελθὼν ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας μου ζητεῖ τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ προσέτι νῦν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Ιεμινι ἄφετε αὐτὸν καταρᾶσθαι ὅτι εἶπεν αὐτῷ κύριος

12 εἴ πως ἴδοι κύριος ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει μου καὶ ἐπιστρέψει μοι ἀγαθὰ ἀντὶ τῆς κατάρας αὐτοῦ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ

13 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυιδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ Σεμεϊ ἐπορεύετο ἐκ πλευρᾶς τοῦ ὄρους ἐχόμενα αὐτοῦ πορευόμενος καὶ καταρώμενος καὶ λιθάζων ἐν λίθοις ἐκ πλαγίων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ χοῒ πάσσων

14 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐκλελυμένοι καὶ ἀνέψυξαν ἐκεῖ

15 καὶ Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ Αχιτοφελ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ

16 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡνίκα ἦλθεν Χουσι ὁ Αρχι ἑταῖρος Δαυιδ πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ εἶπεν Χουσι πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ ζήτω ὁ βασιλεύς

17 καὶ εἶπεν Αβεσσαλωμ πρὸς Χουσι τοῦτο τὸ ἔλεός σου μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου ἵνα τί οὐκ ἀπῆλθες μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου

18 καὶ εἶπεν Χουσι πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ οὐχί ἀλλὰ κατόπισθεν οὗ ἐξελέξατο κύριος καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὗτος καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ αὐτῷ ἔσομαι καὶ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καθήσομαι

19 καὶ τὸ δεύτερον τίνι ἐγὼ δουλεύσω οὐχὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καθάπερ ἐδούλευσα ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός σου οὕτως ἔσομαι ἐνώπιόν σου

20 καὶ εἶπεν Αβεσσαλωμ πρὸς Αχιτοφελ φέρετε ἑαυτοῖς βουλὴν τί ποιήσωμεν

21 καὶ εἶπεν Αχιτοφελ πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ εἴσελθε πρὸς τὰς παλλακὰς τοῦ πατρός σου ἃς κατέλιπεν φυλάσσειν τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀκούσεται πᾶς Ισραηλ ὅτι κατῄσχυνας τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ ἐνισχύσουσιν αἱ χεῖρες πάντων τῶν μετὰ σοῦ

22 καὶ ἔπηξαν τὴν σκηνὴν τῷ Αβεσσαλωμ ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Αβεσσαλωμ πρὸς τὰς παλλακὰς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ κατ᾽ ὀφθαλμοὺς παντὸς Ισραηλ

23 καὶ ἡ βουλὴ Αχιτοφελ ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταῖς πρώταις ὃν τρόπον ἐπερωτήσῃ ἐν λόγῳ τοῦ θεοῦ οὕτως πᾶσα ἡ βουλὴ τοῦ Αχιτοφελ καί γε τῷ Δαυιδ καί γε τῷ Αβεσσαλωμ

1 Cumque David transisset paululum montis verticem, apparuit Siba puer Miphiboseth in occursum ejus, cum duobus asinis, qui onerati erant ducentis panibus, et centum alligaturis uvæ passæ, et centum massis palatharum, et utre vini.

2 Et dixit rex Sibæ: Quid sibi volunt hæc? Responditque Siba: Asini, domesticis regis ut sedeant: panes et palathæ ad vescendum pueris tuis: vinum autem ut bibat siquis defecerit in deserto.

3 Et ait rex: Ubi est filius domini tui? Responditque Siba regi: Remansit in Jerusalem, dicens: Hodie restituet mihi domus Israël regnum patris mei.

4 Et ait rex Sibæ: Tua sint omnia quæ fuerunt Miphiboseth. Dixitque Siba: Oro ut inveniam gratiam coram te, domine mi rex.

5 Venit ergo rex David usque Bahurim: et ecce egrediebatur inde vir de cognatione domus Saul, nomine Semei, filius Gera: procedebatque egrediens, et maledicebat,

6 mittebatque lapides contra David et contra universos servos regis David: omnis autem populus, et universi bellatores, a dextro et a sinistro latere regis incedebant.

7 Ita autem loquebatur Semei cum malediceret regi: Egredere, egredere, vir sanguinum, et vir Belial.

8 Reddidit tibi Dominus universum sanguinem domus Saul: quoniam invasisti regnum pro eo, et dedit Dominus regnum in manu Absalom filii tui: et ecce premunt te mala tua, quoniam vir sanguinum es.

9 Dixit autem Abisai filius Sarviæ regi: Quare maledicit canis hic mortuus domino meo regi? vadam, et amputabo caput ejus.

10 Et ait rex: Quid mihi et vobis est, filii Sarviæ? dimittite eum, ut maledicat: Dominus enim præcepit ei ut malediceret David: et quis est qui audeat dicere quare sic fecerit?

11 Et ait rex Abisai, et universis servis suis: Ecce filius meus qui egressus est de utero meo, quærit animam meam: quanto magis nunc filius Jemini? Dimittite eum ut maledicat juxta præceptum Domini:

12 si forte respiciat Dominus afflictionem meam, et reddat mihi Dominus bonum pro maledictione hac hodierna.

13 Ambulabat itaque David et socii ejus per viam cum eo. Semei autem per jugum montis ex latere contra illum gradiebatur, maledicens, et mittens lapides adversum eum, terramque spargens.

14 Venit itaque rex, et universus populus cum eo lassus, et refocillati sunt ibi.

15 Absalom autem et omnis populus ejus ingressi sunt Jerusalem, sed et Achitophel cum eo.

16 Cum autem venisset Chusai Arachites amicus David ad Absalom, locutus est ad eum: Salve rex, salve rex.

17 Ad quem Absalom: Hæc est, inquit, gratia tua ad amicum tuum? quare non ivisti cum amico tuo?

18 Responditque Chusai ad Absalom: Nequaquam: quia illius ero, quem elegit Dominus, et omnis hic populus, et universus Israël: et cum eo manebo.

19 Sed ut et hoc inferam, cui ego serviturus sum? nonne filio regis? Sicut parui patri tuo, ita parebo et tibi.

20 Dixit autem Absalom ad Achitophel: Inite consilium quid agere debeamus.

21 Et ait Achitophel ad Absalom: Ingredere ad concubinas patris tui, quas dimisit ad custodiendam domum: ut cum audierit omnis Israël quod fœdaveris patrem tuum, roborentur tecum manus eorum.

22 Tetenderunt ergo Absalom tabernaculum in solario, ingressusque est ad concubinas patris sui coram universo Israël.

23 Consilium autem Achitophel quod dabat in diebus illis, quasi si quis consuleret Deum: sic erat omne consilium Achitophel, et cum esset cum David, et cum esset cum Absalom.
