2 Samuel 3:1-39

Now there was long
<0752>

war
<04421>

between the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>

and the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_:

but David
<01732>

waxed
<01980> (8802)

stronger
<02390>

and stronger
<02390>_,

and the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>

waxed
<01980> (8802)

weaker
<01800>

and weaker
<01800>_.

And unto David
<01732>

were sons
<01121>

born
<03205> (8735) (8675) <03205> (8795)

in Hebron
<02275>_:

and his firstborn
<01060>

was Amnon
<0550>_,

of Ahinoam
<0293>

the Jezreelitess
<03159>_;

And his second
<04932>_,

Chileab
<03609>_,

of Abigail
<026>

the wife
<0802>

of Nabal
<05037>

the Carmelite
<03761>_;

and the third
<07992>_,

Absalom
<053>

the son
<01121>

of Maacah
<04601>

the daughter
<01323>

of Talmai
<08526>

king
<04428>

of Geshur
<01650>_;

{Chileab: or, Daniel}

And the fourth
<07243>_,

Adonijah
<0138>

the son
<01121>

of Haggith
<02294>_;

and the fifth
<02549>_,

Shephatiah
<08203>

the son
<01121>

of Abital
<037>_;

And the sixth
<08345>_,

Ithream
<03507>_,

by Eglah
<05698>

David's
<01732>

wife
<0802>_.

These were born
<03205> (8795)

to David
<01732>

in Hebron
<02275>_.

And it came to pass, while there was war
<04421>

between the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>

and the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

that Abner
<074>

made himself strong
<02388> (8693)

for the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>_.

And Saul
<07586>

had a concubine
<06370>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Rizpah
<07532>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Aiah
<0345>_:

and [Ishbosheth] said
<0559> (8799)

to Abner
<074>_,

Wherefore hast thou gone in
<0935> (8804)

unto my father's
<01>

concubine
<06370>_?

Then was Abner
<074>

very
<03966>

wroth
<02734> (8799)

for the words
<01697>

of Ishbosheth
<0378>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Am] I a dog's
<03611>

head
<07218>_,

which against Judah
<03063>

do shew
<06213> (8799)

kindness
<02617>

this day
<03117>

unto the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>

thy father
<01>_,

to his brethren
<0251>_,

and to his friends
<04828>_,

and have not delivered
<04672> (8689)

thee into the hand
<03027>

of David
<01732>_,

that thou chargest
<06485> (8799)

me to day
<03117>

with a fault
<05771>

concerning this woman
<0802>_?

So do
<06213> (8799)

God
<0430>

to Abner
<074>_,

and more also
<03254> (8686)_,

except, as the LORD
<03068>

hath sworn
<07650> (8738)

to David
<01732>_,

even so I do
<06213> (8799)

to him;

To translate
<05674> (8687)

the kingdom
<04467>

from the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and to set up
<06965> (8687)

the throne
<03678>

of David
<01732>

over Israel
<03478>

and over Judah
<03063>_,

from Dan
<01835>

even to Beersheba
<0884>_.

And he could
<03201> (8804)

not answer
<07725> (8687)

Abner
<074>

a word
<01697>

again, because he feared
<03372> (8800)

him.

And Abner
<074>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to David
<01732>

on his behalf, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Whose [is] the land
<0776>_?

saying
<0559> (8800)

[also], Make
<03772> (8798)

thy league
<01285>

with me, and, behold, my hand
<03027>

[shall be] with thee, to bring about
<05437> (8687)

all Israel
<03478>

unto thee.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Well
<02896>_;

I will make
<03772> (8799)

a league
<01285>

with thee: but one
<0259>

thing
<01697>

I require
<07592> (8802)

of thee, that is
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou shalt not see
<07200> (8799)

my face
<06440>_,

except thou first
<06440>

bring
<0935> (8687)

Michal
<04324>

Saul's
<07586>

daughter
<01323>_,

when thou comest
<0935> (8800)

to see
<07200> (8800)

my face
<06440>_.

{that is: Heb. saying}

And David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to Ishbosheth
<0378>

Saul's
<07586>

son
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Deliver
<05414> (8798)

[me] my wife
<0802>

Michal
<04324>_,

which I espoused
<0781> (8765)

to me for an hundred
<03967>

foreskins
<06190>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

And Ishbosheth
<0378>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

her from [her] husband
<0376>_,

[even] from Phaltiel
<06409>

the son
<01121>

of Laish
<03889> (8675) <03919>_.

{Phaltiel: also called, Phalti}

And her husband
<0376>

went
<03212> (8799)

with her along weeping
<01980> (8800) <01058> (8800)

behind
<0310>

her to Bahurim
<0980>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Abner
<074>

unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

return
<07725> (8798)_.

And he returned
<07725> (8799)_.

{along...: Heb. going and weeping}

And Abner
<074>

had communication
<01961> (8804) <01697>

with the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye sought
<01245> (8764)

for David
<01732>

in times
<08543>

past
<08032>

[to be] king
<04428>

over you: {in times...: Heb. both yesterday and the third day}

Now then do
<06213> (8798)

[it]: for the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<0559> (8804)

of David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

By the hand
<03027>

of my servant
<05650>

David
<01732>

I will save
<03467> (8687)

my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>

out of the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and out of the hand
<03027>

of all their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

And Abner
<074>

also spake
<01696> (8762)

in the ears
<0241>

of Benjamin
<01144>_:

and Abner
<074>

went
<03212> (8799)

also to speak
<01696> (8763)

in the ears
<0241>

of David
<01732>

in Hebron
<02275>

all that seemed
<05869>

good
<02896>

to Israel
<03478>_,

and that seemed good
<05869>

to the whole house
<01004>

of Benjamin
<01144>_.

So Abner
<074>

came
<0935> (8799)

to David
<01732>

to Hebron
<02275>_,

and twenty
<06242>

men
<0582>

with him. And David
<01732>

made
<06213> (8799)

Abner
<074>

and the men
<0582>

that [were] with him a feast
<04960>_.

And Abner
<074>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

I will arise
<06965> (8799)

and go
<03212> (8799)_,

and will gather
<06908> (8799)

all Israel
<03478>

unto my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

that they may make
<03772> (8799)

a league
<01285>

with thee, and that thou mayest reign
<04427> (8804)

over all that thine heart
<05315>

desireth
<0183> (8762)_.

And David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (0)

Abner
<074>

away
<07971> (8762)_;

and he went
<03212> (8799)

in peace
<07965>_.

And, behold, the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>

and Joab
<03097>

came
<0935> (8802)

from [pursuing] a troop
<01416>_,

and brought in
<0935> (8689)

a great
<07227>

spoil
<07998>

with them: but Abner
<074>

[was] not with David
<01732>

in Hebron
<02275>_;

for he had sent him away
<07971> (8765)_,

and he was gone
<03212> (8799)

in peace
<07965>_.

When Joab
<03097>

and all the host
<06635>

that [was] with him were come
<0935> (8804)_,

they told
<05046> (8686)

Joab
<03097>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>

came
<0935> (8804)

to the king
<04428>_,

and he hath sent him away
<07971> (8762)_,

and he is gone
<03212> (8799)

in peace
<07965>_.

Then Joab
<03097>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)_?

behold, Abner
<074>

came
<0935> (8802)

unto thee; why [is] it [that] thou hast sent him away
<07971> (8765)_,

and he is quite
<01980> (8800)

gone
<03212> (8799)_?

Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>_,

that he came
<0935> (8804)

to deceive
<06601> (8763)

thee, and to know
<03045> (8800)

thy going out
<04161>

and thy coming in
<04126> (8675) <03996>_,

and to know
<03045> (8800)

all that thou doest
<06213> (8802)_.

And when Joab
<03097>

was come out
<03318> (8799)

from David
<01732>_,

he sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

after
<0310>

Abner
<074>_,

which brought him again
<07725> (8686)

from the well
<0953>

of Sirah
<05626>_:

but David
<01732>

knew
<03045> (8804)

[it] not.

And when Abner
<074>

was returned
<07725> (8799)

to Hebron
<02275>_,

Joab
<03097>

took him aside
<05186> (8686)

in
<0413> <08432>

the gate
<08179>

to speak
<01696> (8763)

with him quietly
<07987>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

him there under the fifth
<02570>

[rib], that he died
<04191> (8799)_,

for the blood
<01818>

of Asahel
<06214>

his brother
<0251>_.

{quietly: or, peaceably}

And afterward
<0310>

when David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[it], he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I and my kingdom
<04467>

[are] guiltless
<05355>

before the LORD
<03068>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>

from the blood
<01818>

of Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>_:

{blood: Heb. bloods}

Let it rest
<02342> (8799)

on the head
<07218>

of Joab
<03097>_,

and on all his father's
<01>

house
<01004>_;

and let there not fail
<03772> (8735)

from the house
<01004>

of Joab
<03097>

one that hath an issue
<02100> (8802)_,

or that is a leper
<06879> (8794)_,

or that leaneth
<02388> (8688)

on a staff
<06418>_,

or that falleth
<05307> (8802)

on the sword
<02719>_,

or that lacketh
<02638>

bread
<03899>_.

{fail: Heb. be cut off}

So Joab
<03097>

and Abishai
<052>

his brother
<0251>

slew
<02026> (8804)

Abner
<074>_,

because he had slain
<04191> (8689)

their brother
<0251>

Asahel
<06214>

at Gibeon
<01391>

in the battle
<04421>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Joab
<03097>_,

and to all the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, Rend
<07167> (8798)

your clothes
<0899>_,

and gird
<02296> (8798)

you with sackcloth
<08242>_,

and mourn
<05594> (8798)

before
<06440>

Abner
<074>_.

And king
<04428>

David
<01732>

[himself] followed
<01980> (8802) <0310>

the bier
<04296>_.

{bier: Heb. bed}

And they buried
<06912> (8799)

Abner
<074>

in Hebron
<02275>_:

and the king
<04428>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)

at the grave
<06913>

of Abner
<074>_;

and all the people
<05971>

wept
<01058> (8799)_.

And the king
<04428>

lamented
<06969> (8787)

over Abner
<074>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Died
<04191> (8799)

Abner
<074>

as a fool
<05036>

dieth
<04194>_?

Thy hands
<03027>

[were] not bound
<0631> (8803)_,

nor thy feet
<07272>

put
<05066> (8717)

into fetters
<05178>_:

as a man falleth
<05307> (8800)

before
<06440>

wicked
<05766>

men
<01121>_,

[so] fellest
<05307> (8804)

thou. And all the people
<05971>

wept
<01058> (8800)

again
<03254> (8686)

over him. {wicked...: Heb. children of iniquity}

And when all
<03605>

the people
<05971>

came
<0935> (8799)

to cause
<01262> (0)

David
<01732>

to eat
<01262> (8687)

meat
<03899>

while it was yet
<05750>

day
<03117>_,

David
<01732>

sware
<07650> (8735)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

So do
<06213> (8799)

God
<0430>

to me, and more also
<03254> (8686)_,

if I taste
<02938> (8799)

bread
<03899>_,

or ought
<03972>

else, till
<06440>

the sun
<08121>

be down
<0935> (8800)_.

And all the people
<05971>

took notice
<05234> (8689)

[of it], and it pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>

them: as whatsoever the king
<04428>

did
<06213> (8804)

pleased
<05869> <02896>

all the people
<05971>_.

{pleased them: Heb. was good in their eyes}

For all the people
<05971>

and all Israel
<03478>

understood
<03045> (8799)

that day
<03117>

that it was not of the king
<04428>

to slay
<04191> (8687)

Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Know
<03045> (8799)

ye not that there is a prince
<08269>

and a great man
<01419>

fallen
<05307> (8804)

this day
<03117>

in Israel
<03478>_?

And I [am] this day
<03117>

weak
<07390>_,

though anointed
<04886> (8803)

king
<04428>_;

and these men
<0582>

the sons
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

[be] too hard
<07186>

for me: the LORD
<03068>

shall reward
<07999> (8762)

the doer of evil
<06213> (8802)

according to his wickedness
<07451>_.
