2 Samuel 14:1-33

Now Joab
<03097>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

perceived
<03045> (8799)

that the king's
<04428>

heart
<03820>

[was] toward Absalom
<053>_.

And Joab
<03097>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Tekoah
<08620>_,

and fetched
<03947> (8799)

thence a wise
<02450>

woman
<0802>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner
<056> (8693)_,

and put on
<03847> (8798)

now mourning
<060>

apparel
<0899>_,

and anoint
<05480> (8799)

not thyself with oil
<08081>_,

but be as a woman
<0802>

that had a long
<07227>

time
<03117>

mourned
<056> (8690)

for the dead
<04191> (8801)_:

And come
<0935> (8804)

to the king
<04428>_,

and speak
<01696> (8765)

on this manner
<01697>

unto him. So Joab
<03097>

put
<07760> (8799)

the words
<01697>

in her mouth
<06310>_.

And when the woman
<0802>

of Tekoah
<08621>

spake
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

she fell
<05307> (8799)

on her face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and did obeisance
<07812> (8691)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Help
<03467> (8685)_,

O king
<04428>_.

{Help: Heb. Save}

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] indeed
<061>

a widow
<0490>

woman
<0802>_,

and mine husband
<0376>

is dead
<04191> (8799)_.

And thy handmaid
<08198>

had two
<08147>

sons
<01121>_,

and they two
<08147>

strove together
<05327> (8735)

in the field
<07704>_,

and [there was] none to part
<05337> (8688)

them, but the one
<0259>

smote
<05221> (8686)

the other
<0259>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him. {none...: Heb. no deliverer between them}

And, behold, the whole family
<04940>

is risen
<06965> (8804)

against thine handmaid
<08198>_,

and they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Deliver
<05414> (8798)

him that smote
<05221> (8688)

his brother
<0251>_,

that we may kill
<04191> (8686)

him, for the life
<05315>

of his brother
<0251>

whom he slew
<02026> (8804)_;

and we will destroy
<08045> (8686)

the heir
<03423> (8802)

also: and so they shall quench
<03518> (8765)

my coal
<01513>

which is left
<07760> (8800)_,

and shall not leave
<07604> (8738)

to my husband
<0376>

[neither] name
<08034>

nor remainder
<07611>

upon
<06440>

the earth
<0127>_.

{upon...: Heb. upon the face of the earth}

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the woman
<0802>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

to thine house
<01004>_,

and I will give charge
<06680> (8762)

concerning thee.

And the woman
<0802>

of Tekoah
<08621>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

My lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

the iniquity
<05771>

[be] on me, and on my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_:

and the king
<04428>

and his throne
<03678>

[be] guiltless
<05355>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Whosoever saith
<01696> (8764)

[ought] unto thee, bring
<0935> (8689)

him to me, and he shall not touch
<05060> (8800)

thee any more
<03254> (8686)_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

she, I pray thee, let the king
<04428>

remember
<02142> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers
<01350> (8802)

of blood
<01818>

to destroy
<07843> (8763)

any more
<07235> (8687)_,

lest they destroy
<08045> (8686)

my son
<01121>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

there shall not one hair
<08185>

of thy son
<01121>

fall
<05307> (8799)

to the earth
<0776>_.

{that...: Heb. that the revenger of blood do not multiply to destroy}

Then the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let thine handmaid
<08198>_,

I pray thee, speak
<01696> (8762)

[one] word
<01697>

unto my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Say on
<01696> (8761)_.

And the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore then hast thou thought
<02803> (8804)

such a thing against the people
<05971>

of God
<0430>_?

for the king
<04428>

doth speak
<01696> (8693)

this thing
<01697>

as one which is faulty
<0818>_,

in that the king
<04428>

doth not fetch home again
<07725> (8687)

his banished
<05080> (8737)_.

For we must needs
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_,

and [are] as water
<04325>

spilt
<05064> (8737)

on the ground
<0776>_,

which cannot be gathered up again
<0622> (8735)_;

neither doth God
<0430>

respect
<05375> (8799)

[any] person
<05315>_:

yet doth he devise
<02803> (8804)

means
<04284>_,

that his banished
<05080> (8737)

be not expelled
<05080> (8799)

from him. {neither...: or, because God hath not taken away his life, he hath also devised means, etc}

Now therefore that I am come
<0935> (8804)

to speak
<01696> (8763)

of this thing
<01697>

unto my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

[it is] because the people
<05971>

have made me afraid
<03372> (8765)_:

and thy handmaid
<08198>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will now speak
<01696> (8762)

unto the king
<04428>_;

it may be that the king
<04428>

will perform
<06213> (8799)

the request
<01697>

of his handmaid
<0519>_.

For the king
<04428>

will hear
<08085> (8799)_,

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

his handmaid
<0519>

out of the hand
<03709>

of the man
<0376>

[that would] destroy
<08045> (8687)

me and my son
<01121>

together
<03162>

out of the inheritance
<05159>

of God
<0430>_.

Then thine handmaid
<08198>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

The word
<01697>

of my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

shall now be comfortable
<04496>_:

for as an angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>_,

so [is] my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

to discern
<08085> (8800)

good
<02896>

and bad
<07451>_:

therefore the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

will be with thee. {comfortable: Heb. for rest} {to discern: Heb. to hear}

Then the king
<04428>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the woman
<0802>_,

Hide
<03582> (8762)

not from me, I pray thee, the thing
<01697>

that I shall ask
<07592> (8802)

thee. And the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

now speak
<01696> (8762)_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is not] the hand
<03027>

of Joab
<03097>

with thee in all this? And the woman
<0802>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] thy soul
<05315>

liveth
<02416>_,

my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

none
<0376>

can
<0786>

turn to the right hand
<03231> (8687)

or to the left
<08041> (8687)

from ought that my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_:

for thy servant
<05650>

Joab
<03097>_,

he bade
<06680> (8765)

me, and he put
<07760> (8804)

all these words
<01697>

in the mouth
<06310>

of thine handmaid
<08198>_:

To
<05668>

fetch about
<05437> (8763)

this form
<06440>

of speech
<01697>

hath thy servant
<05650>

Joab
<03097>

done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_:

and my lord
<0113>

[is] wise
<02450>_,

according to the wisdom
<02451>

of an angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>_,

to know
<03045> (8800)

all [things] that [are] in the earth
<0776>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joab
<03097>_,

Behold now, I have done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_:

go
<03212> (8798)

therefore, bring
<07725> (0)

the young man
<05288>

Absalom
<053>

again
<07725> (8685)_.

And Joab
<03097>

fell
<05307> (8799)

to the ground
<0776>

on his face
<06440>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself, and thanked
<01288> (8762)

the king
<04428>_:

and Joab
<03097>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

To day
<03117>

thy servant
<05650>

knoweth
<03045> (8804)

that I have found
<04672> (8804)

grace
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_,

my lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

in that the king
<04428>

hath fulfilled
<06213> (8804)

the request
<01697>

of his servant
<05650>_.

{thanked: Heb. blessed} {his servant: or, thy servant}

So Joab
<03097>

arose
<06965> (8799)

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Geshur
<01650>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

Absalom
<053>

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let him turn
<05437> (8735)

to his own house
<01004>_,

and let him not see
<07200> (8799)

my face
<06440>_.

So Absalom
<053>

returned
<05437> (8735)

to his own house
<01004>_,

and saw
<07200> (8804)

not the king's
<04428>

face
<06440>_.

But in all Israel
<03478>

there was none
<0376>

to be so much
<03966>

praised
<01984> (8763)

as Absalom
<053>

for his beauty
<03303>_:

from the sole
<03709>

of his foot
<07272>

even to the crown of his head
<06936>

there was no blemish
<03971>

in him. {But...: Heb. And as Absalom there was not a beautiful man in all Israel to praise greatly}

And when he polled
<01548> (8763)

his head
<07218>_,

(for it was at every year's
<03117> <03117>

end
<07093>

that he polled
<01548> (8762)

[it]: because [the hair] was heavy
<03513> (8804)

on him, therefore he polled
<01548> (8765)

it:) he weighed
<08254> (8804)

the hair
<08181>

of his head
<07218>

at two hundred
<03967>

shekels
<08255>

after the king's
<04428>

weight
<068>_.

And unto Absalom
<053>

there were born
<03205> (8735)

three
<07969>

sons
<01121>_,

and one
<0259>

daughter
<01323>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Tamar
<08559>_:

she was a woman
<0802>

of a fair
<03303>

countenance
<04758>_.

So Absalom
<053>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

two full
<03117>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and saw
<07200> (8804)

not the king's
<04428>

face
<06440>_.

Therefore Absalom
<053>

sent
<07971> (8799)

for Joab
<03097>_,

to have sent
<07971> (8800)

him to the king
<04428>_;

but he would
<014> (8804)

not come
<0935> (8800)

to him: and when he sent again
<07971> (8799)

the second time
<08145>_,

he would
<014> (8804)

not come
<0935> (8800)_.

Therefore he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

See
<07200> (8798)_,

Joab's
<03097>

field
<02513>

is near
<0413>

mine
<03027>_,

and he hath barley
<08184>

there; go
<03212> (8798)

and set
<03341> (8685)

it on fire
<0784>_.

And Absalom's
<053>

servants
<05650>

set
<03341> (8686)

the field
<02513>

on fire
<0784>_.

{near...: Heb. near my place}

Then Joab
<03097>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Absalom
<053>

unto [his] house
<01004>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Wherefore have thy servants
<05650>

set
<03341> (8689)

my field
<02513>

on fire
<0784>_?

And Absalom
<053>

answered
<0559> (8799)

Joab
<03097>_,

Behold, I sent
<07971> (8804)

unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come
<0935> (8798)

hither, that I may send
<07971> (8799)

thee to the king
<04428>_,

to say
<0559> (8800)_,

Wherefore am I come
<0935> (8804)

from Geshur
<01650>_?

[it had been] good
<02896>

for me [to have been] there still: now therefore let me see
<07200> (8799)

the king's
<04428>

face
<06440>_;

and if there be
<03426>

[any] iniquity
<05771>

in me, let him kill
<04191> (8689)

me.

So Joab
<03097>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him: and when he had called
<07121> (8799)

for Absalom
<053>_,

he came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself on his face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_:

and the king
<04428>

kissed
<05401> (8799)

Absalom
<053>_.
