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 lo
Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and
Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the
city.
Zadok was also there, and all the Levites with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and
Abiathar offered sacrifices until the people had passed out of the
city.
And the king said unto
Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the
city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and
shew me both it, and his
habitation:
Then the king said to
Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the
city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and let me see both it and His dwelling place again.
The king said also unto
Zadok the priest, Art not thou a
seer? return into the
city in peace, and your two sons with you,
Ahimaaz thy son, and
Jonathan the son of
Abiathar.
But if thou return to the
city, and say unto
Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of
Ahithophel.
But you can
thwart the counsel of
Ahithophel for me if you return to the
city and say to
Absalom: ‘I will be your servant, my king; in the past I was your father’s servant, but now I will be your servant.’
So Hushai David’s friend came into the
city, and
Absalom came into Jerusalem.
So David’s friend Hushai arrived in Jerusalem just as
Absalom was entering the
city.
Moreover, if he be
gotten into a
city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that
city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.
If he retreats to a
city, all Israel will bring ropes to that
city, and we will
drag it down to the valley until not even a
pebble can be found.”
Now
Jonathan and
Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; for they might not be seen to come into the
city: and a
wench went and told them; and they went and told king David.
Now
Jonathan and
Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, where a servant
girl would come and pass along information to them. They in turn would go and inform King David, for they
dared not be seen entering the
city.
And when
Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he
saddled his
ass, and arose, and
gat him home to his house, to his
city, and put his household in order, and
hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the
sepulchre of his father.
When
Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed, he
saddled his
donkey and set out for his house in his hometown. He put his affairs in order and
hanged himself. So he died and was buried in his father’s tomb.
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.”
Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.
Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”
And David said to
Abishai, Now shall
Sheba the son of Bichri do us more
harm than did
Absalom: take thou thy lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him
fenced cities, and escape us.
And David said to
Abishai, “Now
Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more
harm than
Absalom. Take your lord’s servants and pursue him, or he will find fortified
cities and
elude us.”
And they came and besieged him in
Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank against the
city, and it stood in the
trench: and all the people that were with
Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
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.”
I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a
city and a mother in Israel: why
wilt thou
swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel, but you are trying to destroy a
city that is a mother in Israel. Why would you
swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”
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
Sheba son of Bichri and threw it to
Joab. So he
blew the ram’s horn and his men
dispersed from the
city, each to his own home. And
Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.
And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the
city that lieth in the midst of the river of

Gad and Jazer.
And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the
cities of the
Hivites, and of the
Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beer-
sheba.
They went toward the fortress of Tyre and all the
cities of the
Hivites and
Canaanites. Finally, they went on to the Negev of Judah, to
Beersheba.
And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when
Joab heard the sound of the
trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the
city being in an
uproar?
Now Adonijah and all his guests were finishing their feast when they heard the sound of the ram’s horn. “Why is the
city in such a loud
uproar?” asked
Joab.
And
Zadok the priest and
Nathan the prophet have
anointed him king in
Gihon: and they are come up from thence
rejoicing, so that the
city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.

And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh’s daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
Later, Solomon formed an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt by marrying his daughter. Solomon brought her to the City of David until he had finished building his palace and the house of the LORD, as well as the wall around Jerusalem.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the
city of David, which is
Zion.
At that time Solomon assembled before him in Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the
tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from
Zion, the
City of David.
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
When famine or plague comes upon the land, or
blight or
mildew or locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemy besieges them in their
cities, whatever plague or sickness may come,
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy,
whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the
city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:
When Your people go to war against their enemies, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the LORD in the direction of the city You have chosen and the house I have built for Your Name,
And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away
captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the
city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
and when they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of the enemies who took them
captive, and when they pray to You in the direction of the land that You gave to their fathers, the
city You have chosen, and the house I have built for Your Name,
(Now
Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with
cedar trees and
fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave
Hiram twenty
cities in the land of
Galilee.
King Solomon gave twenty towns in the land of
Galilee to
Hiram king of Tyre, who had supplied him with
cedar and
cypress logs and gold for his every desire.
And
Hiram came out from Tyre to see the
cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
So
Hiram went out from Tyre to
inspect the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them.
And he said, What
cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of
Cabul unto this day.
“What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked
Hiram, and he called them the Land of
Cabul, as they are called to this day.
For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken
Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the
Canaanites that dwelt in the
city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife.

Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the
Canaanites who lived in the

And all the
cities of store that Solomon had, and
cities for his
chariots, and
cities for his
horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in
Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
as well as all the store
cities that Solomon had for his
chariots and horses—whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem,
Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the
city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build
Millo.
As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the supporting terraces.
And Solomon gathered together
chariots and
horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred
chariots, and twelve thousand
horsemen, whom he bestowed in the
cities for
chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Solomon accumulated 1,400
chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the
chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built
Millo, and repaired the breaches of the
city of David his father.
and this is the account of his rebellion against the king. Solomon had built the supporting terraces and repaired the
gap in the wall of the
city of his father David.
(But he shall have one tribe for my servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)
But one tribe will remain for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light
alway before me in Jerusalem, the
city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
I will give one tribe to his son, so that My servant David will always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put My Name.

And, behold, men passed by, and saw the
carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the
carcase: and they came and told it in the
city where the old prophet dwelt.
And there were men passing by who saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, and they went and reported this in the city where the old prophet lived.
And the prophet took up the
carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the
ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the
city, to
mourn and to
bury him.
So the old prophet lifted up the body of the man of God, laid it on the
donkey, and brought it back to his own
city to
mourn for him and
bury him.

cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in
Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the
cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.

Him that dieth of
Jeroboam in the
city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it.
Anyone belonging to
Jeroboam who dies in the
city will be eaten by dogs, and
anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.’ For the LORD has spoken.
Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
As for you, get up and go home. When your feet enter the city, the child will die.
And
Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah.

City of David, and his son
Asa reigned in his place.
The rest of all the acts of
Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the
cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set
yourselves in
array. And they set themselves in
array against the

city.
So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
Meanwhile, these young officers of the district governors marched out of the city, with the army behind them,

city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Ben-
hadad fled, and came into the
city, into an inner chamber.
The rest of them fled into the
city of Aphek, where the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the remaining men. Ben-
hadad also fled to the
city and
hid in an inner room.
And Ben-
hadad said unto him, The
cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said
Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
Ben-
hadad said to him, “I will restore the
cities my father took from your father; you may set up your own marketplaces in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria.” “By this treaty I release you,”
Ahab replied. So he made a treaty with him and sent him away.
So she wrote letters in
Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his
city, dwelling with
Naboth.
Then
Jezebel wrote letters in
Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived with

city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his

blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the
city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
And the two scoundrels came in and sat opposite
Naboth, and these men
testified against him before the people, saying, “
Naboth has
cursed both God and the king!” So they took him outside the
city and stoned him to death.
Him that dieth of
Ahab in the

Anyone belonging to

city will be eaten by dogs, and

city, and every man to his own country.

And the men of the
city said unto
Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this
city is pleasant, as my lord
seeth: but the water is
naught, and the ground barren.
Then the men of the
city said to
Elisha, “Please note, our lord, that the
city’s
location is good, as you can see. But the water is bad and the land is unfruitful.”
And he went up from thence unto
Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the
city, and
mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou
bald head; go up, thou
bald head.
And ye shall
smite every
fenced city, and every choice
city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and
mar every good piece of land with stones.
And you shall attack every fortified city and every city of importance. You shall cut down every good tree, stop up every spring, and ruin every good field with stones.”
And they beat down the
cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kir-haraseth left they the stones thereof;
howbeit the slingers went about it, and
smote it.
They destroyed the
cities, and each man threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up every spring and cut down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth was left with stones in place, but men with
slings surrounded it and attacked it as well.
Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his
stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great
indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.

firstborn son, who was to succeed him, and offered him as a burnt offering on the
city wall. And there was great
fury against the Israelites, so they withdrew and returned to their own land.

city both with horses and
chariots. And his servant said unto him,
Alas, my master! how shall we do?
When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early in the morning, an army with horses and
chariots had surrounded the
city. So he asked
Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?”
And
Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the
city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
And
Elisha told them, “This is not the way, and this is not the
city. Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are seeking.” And he led them to Samaria.
And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an
ass’s head was sold for
fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a
cab of
dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
So there was a great famine in Samaria. Indeed, they besieged the
city so long that a
donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter
cab of
dove’s dung sold for five shekels of silver.
And there were four
leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
Now there were four men with
leprosy at the entrance of the
city gate, and they said to one another, “Why just sit here until we die?
If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
If we say, ‘Let us go into the city,’ we will die there from the famine in the city; but if we sit here, we will also die. So come now, let us go over to the camp of the Arameans. If they let us live, we will live; if they kill us, we will die.”
So they came and called unto the porter of the
city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses
tied, and
asses tied, and the tents as they were.
So they went and called out to the gatekeepers of the
city, saying, “We went to the
Aramean camp and no one was there—not a trace—only
tethered horses and
donkeys, and the tents were
intact.”
And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now
shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be
hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the
city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the
city.
So the king got up in the night and said to his servants, “Let me tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are
starving, so they have left the camp to hide in the field, thinking, ‘When they come out of the
city, we will take them alive and enter the
city.’”
And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
But one of his servants replied, “Please, have scouts take five of the horses that remain in the
city. Their
plight will be no worse than all the Israelites who are left here. You can see that all the Israelites here are
doomed. So let us send them and find out.”
And
Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the
city of David: and
Ahaziah his son reigned in his
stead.
And Jehoram rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the
City of David. And his son
Ahaziah reigned in his place.
But king
Joram was returned to be
healed in
Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with
Hazael king of Syria.) And
Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the
city to go to tell it in
