2 Samuel 13:23-39

And it came to pass after two full
<03117>

years
<08141>_,

that Absalom
<053>

had sheepshearers
<01494> (8802)

in Baalhazor
<01178>_,

which [is] beside Ephraim
<0669>_:

and Absalom
<053>

invited
<07121> (8799)

all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_.

And Absalom
<053>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold now, thy servant
<05650>

hath sheepshearers
<01494> (8802)_;

let
<03212> (0)

the king
<04428>_,

I beseech thee, and his servants
<05650>

go
<03212> (8799)

with thy servant
<05650>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Absalom
<053>_,

Nay, my son
<01121>_,

let us not all now go
<03212> (8799)_,

lest we be chargeable
<03513> (8799)

unto thee. And he pressed
<06555> (8799)

him: howbeit he would
<014> (8804)

not go
<03212> (8800)_,

but blessed
<01288> (8762)

him.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Absalom
<053>_,

If not, I pray thee, let my brother
<0251>

Amnon
<0550>

go
<03212> (8799)

with us. And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why should he go
<03212> (8799)

with thee?

But Absalom
<053>

pressed
<06555> (8799)

him, that he let Amnon
<0550>

and all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

go
<07971> (8799)

with him.

Now Absalom
<053>

had commanded
<06680> (8762)

his servants
<05288>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Mark
<07200> (8798)

ye now when Amnon's
<0550>

heart
<03820>

is merry
<02896>

with wine
<03196>_,

and when I say
<0559> (8804)

unto you, Smite
<05221> (8685)

Amnon
<0550>_;

then kill
<04191> (8689)

him, fear
<03372> (8799)

not: have not I commanded
<06680> (8765)

you? be courageous
<02388> (8798)_,

and be valiant
<01121> <02428>_.

{have...: or, will you not, since I have commanded you?} {valiant: Heb. sons of valour}

And the servants
<05288>

of Absalom
<053>

did
<06213> (8799)

unto Amnon
<0550>

as Absalom
<053>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)_.

Then all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and every man
<0376>

gat him up
<07392> (8799)

upon his mule
<06505>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_.

{gat...: Heb. rode}

And it came to pass, while they were in the way
<01870>_,

that tidings
<08052>

came
<0935> (8804)

to David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Absalom
<053>

hath slain
<05221> (8689)

all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_,

and there is not one
<0259>

of them left
<03498> (8738)_.

Then the king
<04428>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and tare
<07167> (8799)

his garments
<0899>_,

and lay
<07901> (8799)

on the earth
<0776>_;

and all his servants
<05650>

stood
<05324> (8737)

by with their clothes
<0899>

rent
<07167> (8803)_.

And Jonadab
<03122>_,

the son
<01121>

of Shimeah
<08093>

David's
<01732>

brother
<0251>_,

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let not my lord
<0113>

suppose
<0559> (8799)

[that] they have slain
<04191> (8689)

all the young men
<05288>

the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_;

for Amnon
<0550>

only is dead
<04191> (8804)_:

for by the appointment
<06310>

of Absalom
<053>

this hath been determined
<07760> (8803)

from the day
<03117>

that he forced
<06031> (8763)

his sister
<0269>

Tamar
<08559>_.

{appointment: Heb. mouth} {determined: or, settled}

Now therefore let not my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

take
<07760> (8799)

the thing
<01697>

to his heart
<03820>_,

to think
<0559> (8800)

that all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

are dead
<04191> (8804)_:

for Amnon
<0550>

only is dead
<04191> (8804)_.

But Absalom
<053>

fled
<01272> (8799)_.

And the young man
<05288>

that kept the watch
<06822> (8802)

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, there came
<01980> (8802)

much
<07227>

people
<05971>

by the way
<01870>

of the hill
<02022>

side
<06654>

behind
<0310>

him.

And Jonadab
<03122>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Behold, the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

come
<0935> (8804)_:

as thy servant
<05650>

said
<01697>_,

so it is. {as thy...: Heb. according to the word of thy servant}

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of speaking
<01696> (8763)_,

that, behold, the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>

came
<0935> (8804)_,

and lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their voice
<06963>

and wept
<01058> (8799)_:

and the king
<04428>

also and all his servants
<05650>

wept
<01058> (8804)

very
<03966>

sore
<01065> <01419>_.

{very...: Heb. with a great weeping greatly}

But Absalom
<053>

fled
<01272> (8804)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Talmai
<08526>_,

the son
<01121>

of Ammihud
<05991> (8675) <05989>_,

king
<04428>

of Geshur
<01650>_.

And [David] mourned
<056> (8691)

for his son
<01121>

every day
<03117>_.

{Ammihud: or, Ammihur}

So Absalom
<053>

fled
<01272> (8804)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Geshur
<01650>_,

and was there three
<07969>

years
<08141>_.

And [the soul of] king
<04428>

David
<01732>

longed
<03615> (8762)

to go forth
<03318> (8800)

unto Absalom
<053>_:

for he was comforted
<05162> (8738)

concerning Amnon
<0550>_,

seeing he was dead
<04191> (8804)_.

{longed: or, was consumed}
