But
Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him.
Meanwhile,
Absalom had fled. When the young man standing watch looked up, he saw many people coming down the road west of him, along the side of the hill. And the
watchman went and reported to the king, “I see men coming
from the direction of Horonaim, along the side of the hill.”
So
Joab sent to Tekoa to bring a wise woman
from there. He told her, “Please pretend to be a
mourner; put on clothes for
mourning and do not
anoint yourself with oil. Act like a woman who has
mourned for the dead a long time.
And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did
obeisance, and said, Help, O king.
When the woman
from Tekoa went to the king, she fell facedown in
homage and said, “Help me, O king!”
Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
“Please,” she replied, “may the king
invoke the LORD your God to prevent the
avenger of blood
from increasing the
devastation, so that my son may not be destroyed!” “As surely as the LORD lives,” he
vowed, “not a hair of your son’s head will fall to the ground.”
For we must needs die, and are as water
spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither
doth God respect any person: yet
doth he
devise means, that his banished be not expelled
from him.
For surely we will die and be like water poured out on the ground, which cannot be recovered. Yet God does not take away a life; but He devises ways that the banished one may not be cast out from Him.
For the king will hear, to deliver his
handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
For the king will hear and deliver his
maidservant from the hand of the man who would cut off both me and my son
from God’s inheritance.’
Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
Then the king said to the woman, “I am going to ask you something; do not
conceal it
from me!” “Let my lord the king speak,” she replied.
And the king said, Is not the hand of
Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left
from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant
Joab, he
bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine
handmaid:
So the king asked, “Is the hand of
Joab behind all this?” The woman answered, “As surely as you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left
from anything that my lord the king says.
Yes, your servant
Joab is the one who gave me orders; he told your
maidservant exactly what to say.
But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as
Absalom for his beauty:
from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no
blemish in him.
Now there was not a man in all Israel as handsome and highly praised as
Absalom.
From the sole of his foot to the top of his head, he did not have a single
flaw.
And
Absalom answered
Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come
hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come
from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king’s face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me.
“Look,” said
Absalom, “I sent for you and said, ‘Come here. I want to send you to the king to ask: Why have I come back
from Geshur? It would be better for me if I were still there.’ So now, let me see the king’s face, and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.”
And
Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then
Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever
anyone had a
grievance to bring before the king for a decision,
Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you
from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is
from one of the tribes of Israel,”
And with
Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
Two hundred men
from Jerusalem accompanied
Absalom. They had been invited as guests and they went along innocently, for they knew nothing about the matter.
And
Absalom sent for
Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor,
from his city, even
from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the
conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with
Absalom.
And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us
flee; for we shall not else escape
from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and
smite the city with the edge of the sword.
And David said to all the servants with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let us
flee, or we will not escape
from Absalom! We must leave quickly, or he will soon overtake us,
heap disaster on us, and put the city to the sword.”
And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him
from Gath, passed on before the king.
and all his servants marched past him—all the Cherethites and Pelethites, and six hundred Gittites who had followed him
from Gath.
Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and
abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why should you also go with us? Go back and stay with the new king, since you are both a foreigner and an exile from your homeland.
See, I will
tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word
from you to
certify me.
See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
And hast thou not there with thee
Zadok and
Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing
soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to
Zadok and
Abiathar the priests.
Will not
Zadok and
Abiathar the priests be there with you? Report to them everything you hear
from the king’s palace.
And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of
Gera: he came forth, and
cursed still as he came.
As King David approached Bahurim, a man
from the family of the house of Saul was just coming out. His name was Shimei son of
Gera, and as he approached, he kept
yelling out curses.
Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee,

Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of

When David came to
Mahanaim, he was met by Shobi son of Nahash
from Rabbah of the
Ammonites, Machir son of Ammiel

And honey, and butter, and sheep, and
cheese of
kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is
hungry, and
weary, and
thirsty, in the wilderness.
honey, curds, sheep, and
cheese from the
herd for David and his people to eat. For they said, “The people have become
hungry, exhausted, and
thirsty in the wilderness.”
But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we
flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city.
But the people
pleaded, “You must not go out! For if we have to
flee, they will pay no attention to us. Even if half of us die, they will not care; but you are worth ten thousand of us. It is better for now if you support us
from the city.”
Otherwise I should have wrought
falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter
hid from the king, and thou
thyself wouldest have set
thyself against me.
If I had
jeopardized my own life—and nothing is hidden
from the king—you would have abandoned me.”
And
Joab blew the
trumpet, and the people returned
from pursuing after Israel: for
Joab held back the people.
Then
Joab blew the ram’s horn, and the troops broke off their pursuit of Israel because
Joab had restrained them.
Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak
comfortably unto thy servants: for I
swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not
tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that
befell thee
from thy youth until now.
Now therefore get up! Go out and speak comfort to your servants, for I
swear by the LORD that if you do not go out, not a man will remain with you
tonight. This will be worse for you than all the
adversity that has
befallen you
from your youth until now!”
And all the people were at
strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for
Absalom.
And all the people throughout the tribes of Israel were
arguing, “The king
rescued us
from the hand of our enemies and delivered us
from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled the land because of
Absalom.
And say ye to
Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of
Joab.
And say to
Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my flesh and blood? May God
punish me, and ever so severely, if
from this time you are not the commander of my army in place of
Joab!’”
And Shimei the son of
Gera, a
Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
Then Shimei son of

And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither dressed his feet, nor
trimmed his
beard, nor washed his clothes,
from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace.
Then Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, went down to meet the king. He had not cared for his feet or
trimmed his
mustache or washed his clothes
from the day the king had left until the day he returned safely.
And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?
And he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, who asked him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
For all of my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet
didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?
For all the house of my
grandfather deserves death
from my lord the king, yet you have set your servant among those who eat at your table. What further right, then, do I have to keep appealing to the king?”
And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.
Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim to cross the Jordan with the king and send him on his way from there.
So every man of Israel went up
from after David, and followed
Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah
clave unto their king,
from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
So all the men of Israel deserted David to follow
Sheba son of Bichri. But the men of Judah stayed by their king all the way
from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
When they were at the great stone which is in
Gibeon,
Amasa went before them. And
Joab’s garment that he had put on was
girded unto him, and upon it a
girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the
sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
When he was removed out of the
highway, all the people went on after
Joab, to pursue after
Sheba the son of Bichri.
As soon as
Amasa’s body was removed
from the road, all the men went on with
Joab to pursue
Sheba son of Bichri.
Then
cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto
Joab, Come near
hither, that I may speak with thee.
a wise woman called out
from the city, “
Listen!
Listen! Please tell
Joab to come here so that I may speak with him.”
And
Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it
from me, that I should
swallow up or destroy.
“Far be it!”
Joab declared. “Far be it
from me to
swallow up or destroy!
The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim,
Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart
from the city. And the woman said unto
Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
That is not the case. But a man named
Sheba son of Bichri,
from the hill country of Ephraim, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him alone, and I will depart
from the city.” “Look,” the woman replied, “his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of
Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to
Joab. And he
blew a
trumpet, and they retired
from the city, every man to his tent. And
Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
Then the woman went to all the people with her wise counsel, and they cut off the head of

Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.
And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you.
The Gibeonites said to him, “We need no silver or gold
from Saul or his house, nor should you put to death
anyone in Israel for us.” “Whatever you ask, I will do for you,” he replied.
And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel,

plotted against us to
exterminate us
from existing within any border of Israel,

from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.

Jonathan his son
from the men of
Jabesh-
gilead, which had
stolen them
from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had
hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in
Gilboa:
he went and took the bones of Saul and his son
Jonathan from the men of

Jonathan brought
from there, along with the bones of those who had been
hanged.

You have delivered me
from the
strife of my people; You have preserved me as the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.

fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in
jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.

For the king said to
Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel,
from Dan even to Beer-
sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
So the king said to
Joab the commander of his army, who was with him, “Go now throughout the tribes of Israel
from Dan to
Beersheba and register the troops, so that I may know their number.”

Joab and the commanders of the army departed

from the
calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand now!” At that time the angel of the LORD was by the

And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To
buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed
from the people.

buy your
threshing floor,” David replied, “that I may build an altar to the LORD, so that the plague upon the people may be
halted.”

bury him, and so remove
from me and
from the house of my father the innocent blood that

Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of
Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever
from the LORD.

from the LORD
forever.”
