And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.
And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said, “Come lie with me, my sister!”
And
she answered him,
Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
“No, my brother!”
she cried. “Do not
humiliate me, for such a thing should never be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!
Howbeit he would not
hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than
she, forced her, and lay with her.
But Amnon refused to
listen to her, and being stronger, he
violated her and lay with her.
And
she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou
didst unto me. But he would not
hearken unto her.
“No,”
she replied, “sending me away is worse than this great wrong you have already done to me!” But he refused to
listen to her.
And
she had a garment of
divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins
apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and
bolted the door after her.
So Amnon’s
attendant threw her out and
bolted the door behind her. Now Tamar was wearing a
robe of many colors, because this is what the king’s virgin daughters
wore.
And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of
divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
And Tamar put ashes on her head and
tore her
robe. And putting her hand on her head,
she went away crying bitterly.
And it came to pass after two full years, that
Absalom had
sheepshearers in
Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and
Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
Two years later, when
Absalom’s
sheepshearers were at
Baal-hazor near Ephraim, he invited all the sons of the king.
And
Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath
sheepshearers; let the king, I
beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
And he went to the king and said, “Your servant has just
hired shearers. Will the king and his servants please come with me?”
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!”
And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.
“What troubles you?” the king asked her. “Indeed,” she said, “I am a widow, for my husband is dead.
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.”
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 when he
polled his head, (for it was at every year’s end that he
polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he
polled it:) he
weighed the hair of his head at two hundred
shekels after the king’s weight.
And when he cut the hair of his head—he
shaved it every year because his hair got so heavy—he would
weigh it out to be two hundred
shekels, according to the royal standard.

shew me both it, and his
habitation:
Then the king said to

Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from
Dan even to Beer-

And when
Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is
Ahimaaz and
Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the
brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
When
Absalom’s servants came to the woman at the house, they asked, “Where are
Ahimaaz and
Jonathan?” “They have crossed over the
brook,”
she replied. The men searched but did not find them, so they returned to Jerusalem.

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.

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.”
And
Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why
didst thou not
smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten
shekels of silver, and a
girdle.
“You just saw him!”
Joab exclaimed. “Why did you not strike him to the ground right there? I would have given you ten
shekels of silver and a
warrior’s belt!”
And the man said unto
Joab, Though I should receive a thousand
shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king’s son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and
Abishai and Ittai, saying,
Beware that none touch the young man
Absalom.
The man replied, “Even if a thousand
shekels of silver were
weighed out into my hands, I would not raise my hand against the son of the king. For we heard the king command you and
Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man
Absalom for my sake.’
And there happened to be there a man of
Belial, whose name was
Sheba, the son of Bichri, a
Benjamite: and he
blew a
trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of
Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
Now a worthless man named
Sheba son of Bichri, a
Benjamite, happened to be there, and he
blew the ram’s horn and
shouted: “We have no share in David, no inheritance in
Jesse’s son. Every man to his tent, O Israel!”
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.
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 there went out after him
Joab’s men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after
Sheba the son of Bichri.
So
Joab’s men, along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, marched out of Jerusalem in pursuit of
Sheba son of Bichri.
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.
But
Amasa took no
heed to the sword that was in
Joab’s hand: so he
smote him
therewith in the fifth rib, and
shed out his
bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So
Joab and
Abishai his brother pursued after
Sheba the son of Bichri.
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.
And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto
Abel, and to Beth-maachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
Sheba passed through all the tribes of Israel to
Abel-beth-
maacah and through the entire region of the Berites, who gathered together and followed him.
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.
And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou
Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then
she said unto him, Hear the words of thine
handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
When he had come near to her, the woman asked, “Are you
Joab?” “I am,” he replied. “
Listen to the words of your servant,”
she said. “I am
listening,” he answered.
Then
she spake, saying, They were
wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at
Abel: and so they ended the matter.
Then the woman said, “Long ago they used to say, ‘Seek counsel at
Abel,’ and that is how disputes were settled.
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.
Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his
bloody house, because he
slew the Gibeonites.
During the reign of David there was a famine for three successive years, and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, “It is because of the blood shed by Saul and his family, because he killed the Gibeonites.”
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons whom Rizpah daughter of Aiah had borne to Saul, as well as the five sons whom Merab daughter of Saul had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took
sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, 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.

And Ishbi-benob, which was of the sons of the
giant, the weight of whose
spear weighed three hundred

girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.

descendant of Rapha, whose bronze
spear weighed three hundred
shekels and who was bearing a new sword, resolved to kill David.
The sorrows of
hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
He is the tower of salvation for his king: and
sheweth mercy to his
anointed, unto David, and to his seed for
evermore.
Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His
anointed, to David and his descendants
forever.”
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.”
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.
So the LORD sent a
pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from
Dan even to Beer-
sheba seventy thousand men.
So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand of the people from
Dan to
Beersheba died.
And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that
smote the people, and said, Lo, I have
sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these
sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house.
When David saw the angel striking down the people, he said to the LORD, “Surely I, the
shepherd, have
sinned and acted wickedly. But these
sheep, what have they done? Please, let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house.”
And the king said unto Araunah,
Nay; but I will surely
buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which
doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty
shekels of silver.
“No,” replied the king, “I
insist on paying a price, for I will not offer to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the
threshing floor and the oxen for fifty
shekels of silver.

slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and called all his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah the king’s servants:

Wherefore
Nathan spake unto Bath-
sheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith
doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?
Then
Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and our lord David does not know it?
And Bath-
sheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and
Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his
bedroom. Since the king was very old,
Abishag the Shunammite was serving him.
And Bath-
sheba bowed, and did
obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?
And Bathsheba bowed down in
homage to the king, who asked, “What is your desire?”
And
she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine
handmaid, saying,
Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.
“My lord,”
she replied, “you
yourself swore to your
maidservant by the LORD your God: ‘Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.’
And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and
sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and
Abiathar the priest, and
Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.
And he has sacrificed an abundance of oxen,
fattened calves, and
sheep, and has invited all the other sons of the king, as well as
Abiathar the priest and
Joab the commander of the army. But he did not
invite your servant Solomon.
And, lo, while
she yet talked with the king,
Nathan the prophet also came in.
And just then, while Bathsheba was still speaking with the king,
Nathan the prophet arrived.
For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and
sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and
Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
For
today he has gone down and sacrificed an abundance of oxen,
fattened calves, and
sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, the commanders of the army, and
Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
Has my lord the king let this happen without informing your servant who should sit on the throne after my lord the king?”
Then king David answered and said, Call me Bath-
sheba. And
she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.
Then King David said, “Call in Bathsheba for me.” So she came into the king’s presence and stood before him.
Then Bath-
sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
Bathsheba bowed facedown in
homage to the king and said, “May my lord King David live
forever!”
And Solomon said, If he will
shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.
And Solomon replied, “If he is a man of character, not a single hair of his will fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he will die.”
I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and
shew thyself a man;
“I am about to go the way of all the earth. So be strong and prove
yourself a man.
Moreover thou knowest also what
Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto
Abner the son of
Ner, and unto
Amasa the son of Jether, whom he
slew, and
shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his
girdle that was about his loins, and in his
shoes that were on his feet.
Moreover, you know what
Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to
Abner son of
Ner and
Amasa son of Jether, the two commanders of the armies of Israel. He killed them in peacetime to
avenge the blood of war. He
stained with the blood of war the belt around his
waist and the
sandals on his feet.
Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his
hoar head go down to the grave in peace.
So act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray head go down to
Sheol in peace.
But
shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of
Absalom thy brother.
But show loving devotion to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table, because they stood by me when I fled from your brother
Absalom.
Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his
hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.
Now therefore, do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man. You know what you ought to do to him to bring his gray head down to
Sheol in blood.”
And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-
sheba the mother of Solomon. And
she said, Comest thou
peaceably? And he said,
Peaceably.
Now Adonijah son of Haggith went to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, and
she asked, “Do you come in peace?” “
Yes, in peace,” he replied.
He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.
Then he said, “I have something to tell you.” “Say it,” she answered.
And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.
So now I have just one request of you; do not deny me.” “State your request,” she told him.
And Bath-
sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.
“Very well,” Bathsheba replied. “I will speak to the king for you.”
Bath-
sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king’s mother; and
she sat on his right hand.
So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. The king stood up to
greet her, bowed to her, and sat down on his throne. Then the king had a throne brought for his mother, who sat down at his right hand.
Then
she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not
nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee
nay.
“I have just one small request of you,” she said. “Do not deny me.” “Make your request, my mother,” the king replied, “for I will not deny you.”
And
she said, Let
Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
So Bathsheba said, “Let
Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah as his wife.”
And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and
bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which
Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
And the king replied, “Do just as he says. Strike him down and
bury him, and so remove from me and from the house of my father the innocent blood that
Joab shed.
And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
Solomon replied, “You have shown much loving devotion to Your servant, my father David, because he walked before You in faithfulness, righteousness, and uprightness of heart. And You have maintained this loving devotion by giving him a son to sit on his throne this very day.
And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
One woman said, “Please, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth while she was in the house.
And this woman’s child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
During the night this woman’s son died because she rolled over on him.
So
she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I was
asleep.
She laid him in her
bosom and put her dead son at my
bosom.
Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her
bowels yearned upon her son, and
she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise
slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
Then the woman whose son was alive spoke to the king because
she yearned with
compassion for her son. “Please, my lord,”
she said, “give her the living
baby. Do not kill him!” But the other woman said, “He will be neither mine nor yours. Cut him in two!”
Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise
slay it:
she is the mother thereof.
Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living
baby to the first woman. By no means should you kill him;
she is his mother.”

Sheba had seen all Solomon’s wisdom, and the house that he had built,

Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
And
she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of
Sheba gave to king Solomon.
Then
she gave the king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was such an abundance of spices brought in as those the queen of
Sheba gave to King Solomon.
And king Solomon gave unto the queen of
Sheba all her desire,
whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal
bounty. So
she turned and went to her own country,
she and her servants.
King Solomon gave the queen of
Sheba all
she desired—whatever
she asked—besides what he had given her out of his royal
bounty. Then
she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants.

chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred
shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the
Hittites and to the kings of
Aram.
Then
Rehoboam went to
Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.
But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God:
Then
Jeroboam built
Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
Then
Jeroboam built
Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. And from there he went out and built Penuel.
And
Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to
Shiloh, and came to the house of
Ahijah. But
Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
And the LORD said unto
Ahijah, Behold, the wife of
Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when
she cometh in, that
she shall
feign herself to be another woman.
But the LORD had said to
Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of
Jeroboam is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill. You are to say such and such to her, because when
she arrives,
she will be
disguised.”
And it was so, when
Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as
she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of
Jeroboam; why feignest thou
thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy
tidings.
So when
Ahijah heard the sound of her feet entering the door, he said, “Come in, wife of
Jeroboam! Why are you
disguised? For I have been sent to you with bad news.
