| The Lord has punished you for 1 all the spilled blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you rule. Now the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. Disaster has overtaken you, for you are a man of bloodshed!” |
| (0.35) | 2Sa 17:14 |
| Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice of Hushai the Arkite sounds better than the advice of Ahithophel.” Now the Lord had decided 1 to frustrate the sound advice of Ahithophel, so that the Lord could bring disaster on Absalom. |

| Absalom had made Amasa general in command of the army in place of Joab. (Now Amasa was the son of an Israelite man named Jether, who had married 1 Abigail the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.) |

| Joab replied to the man who was telling him this, “What! You saw this? Why didn’t you strike him down right on the spot? 1 I would have given you ten pieces of silver 2 and a commemorative belt!” 3 |
| (0.35) | 2Sa 18:17 |
| They took Absalom, threw him into a large pit in the forest, and stacked a huge pile of stones over him. In the meantime all the Israelite soldiers fled to their homes. 1 |

| But Joab said to him, “You will not be a bearer of good news today. You will bear good news some other day, but not today, 1 for the king’s son is dead.” |

| Now David was sitting between the inner and outer gates, 1 and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate at the wall. When he looked, he saw a man running by himself. |
| (0.35) | 2Sa 18:27 |
| The watchman said, “It appears to me that the first runner is Ahimaaz 1 son of Zadok.” The king said, “He is a good man, and he comes with good news.” |
| (0.35) | 2Sa 18:28 |
| Then Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, “Greetings!” 1 He bowed down before the king with his face toward the ground and said, “May the Lord your God be praised because he has defeated 2 the men who opposed 3 my lord the king!” |
| (0.35) | 2Sa 19:8 |
| So the king got up and sat at the city gate. When all the people were informed that the king was sitting at the city gate, they 1 all came before him.But the Israelite soldiers 2 had all fled to their own homes. 3 |

| But David said, “What do we have in common, 1 you sons of Zeruiah? You are like my enemy today! Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? Don’t you realize that today I am king over Israel?” |
| (0.35) | 2Sa 19:28 |
| After all, there was no one in the entire house of my grandfather 1 who did not deserve death from my lord the king. But instead you allowed me to eat at your own table! 2 What further claim do I have to ask 3 the king for anything?” |

| Amasa was squirming in his own blood in the middle of the path, and this man had noticed that all the soldiers stopped. Having noticed that everyone who came across Amasa 1 stopped, the man 2 pulled him 3 away from the path and into the field and threw a garment over him. |

| The Gibeonites said to him, “We 1 have no claim to silver or gold from Saul or from his family, 2 nor would we be justified in putting to death anyone in Israel.” David asked, 3 “What then are you asking me to do for you?” |

| But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to David’s aid, striking the Philistine down and killing him. Then David’s men took an oath saying, “You will not go out to battle with us again! You must not extinguish the lamp of Israel!” |
