King James Version
And David hath
passed
on
a little from
the top, and
lo
, Ziba ,
servant of Mephibosheth --
to
meet
him, and
a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves, and a
hundred bunches of raisins, and a
hundred `
of '
summer -fruit
, and a bottle of wine.
And when
David was
a little past
the top of
the
hill
, behold
, Ziba the
servant of Mephibosheth met
him, with
a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of
bread
, and an
hundred bunches of raisins, and an
hundred of summer fruits
, and a bottle of wine.
And the king saith
unto Ziba, `
What --
these to
thee
? '
and Ziba saith
, `
The asses for the household of
the
king
to ride on ,
and the bread and the
summer -
fruit for the young men to eat ,
and the wine for
the
wearied
to
drink
in the wilderness. '
And the king said
unto Ziba, What meanest
thou
by
these? And Ziba said
, The asses be
for the king's
household to ride on ;
and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat ;
and the wine ,
that
such
as
be
faint
in the wilderness may
drink
.
And the king saith
, `
And where `
is '
the
son
of
thy lord
? '
and Ziba saith
unto the king, `Lo
, he is
abiding
in
Jerusalem ,
for he said, To -
day do
the house of Israel give
back
to
me the kingdom of my father. '
And the king said
, And where is thy master's
son
? And Ziba said
unto the king, Behold
, he abideth
at
Jerusalem :
for he said, To day shall
the house of Israel restore
me the kingdom of my father.
And
the king saith
to Ziba, `Lo
, thine `
are '
all that Mephibosheth hath;'
and Ziba saith
, `
I have
bowed
myself
--
I find grace in thine
eyes
, my lord, O king. '
Then
said
the king to Ziba, Behold
, thine are all that pertained
unto
Mephibosheth .
And Ziba said
, I humbly
beseech
thee
that
I may
find grace in thy
sight
, my lord, O king.
And king David hath
come
in
unto
Bahurim, and
lo
, thence a man is
coming
out,
of the family of the house of Saul, and
his
name `is'
Shimei, son of Gera ,
he cometh
out
, coming
out
and reviling;
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.
and he stoneth
David
with
stones, and all the servants of king David ,
and all the people ,
and all the mighty men on his right and on his left.
And he cast
stones at
David
, and at
all the servants of king David :
and all the people and all the mighty men were
on his right hand
and on his left.
And thus said Shimei in
his
reviling
, `Go
out, go
out, O
man of
blood
, and man of worthlessness!
And thus said Shimei when
he
cursed
, Come
out, come
out, thou
bloody
man, and thou
man of Belial:
Jehovah
hath turned
back
on
thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned ,
and Jehovah
doth
give
the kingdom in
to
the hand of Absalom thy son ;
and lo
, thou `
art '
in thine
evil
, for
a
man
of
blood
thou `
art '
. '
The
LORD
hath returned
upon
thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned ;
and the LORD
hath
delivered
the
kingdom into
the hand of Absalom thy son :
and, behold,
thou art taken
in thy
mischief
, because
thou art a
bloody
man
.
And
Abishai son of Zeruiah saith
unto the king, `
Why doth
this dead dog revile
my lord the king? let me pass
over, I pray thee, and I
turn
aside
his head. '
Then
said
Abishai the
son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should
this dead dog curse
my lord the king? let me go
over, I pray thee, and take
off
his head.
And the king saith
, `
What --
to
me
and
to you, O
sons of Zeruiah? for
--
let him revile;
even
because Jehovah
hath said to
him, Revile
David ;
and
who saith
, Wherefore hast Thou done so? '
And the king said
, What have
I
to do
with
you, ye
sons of Zeruiah? so
let him curse,
because the
LORD
hath said unto
him, Curse
David .
Who shall
then
say
, Wherefore hast thou done so?
And David saith
unto
Abishai, and unto
all his servants, `Lo
, my son who
came out
of my bowels is
seeking
my life ,
and
also
surely
now the
Benjamite ;
leave
him alone, and let him revile,
for Jehovah
hath said
`so'
to
him ;
And David said
to
Abishai, and to
all his servants, Behold
, my son ,
which
came forth
of my bowels ,
seeketh
my life :
how
much
more
now may
this
Benjamite do
it?
let
him alone, and let him curse;
for the
LORD
hath bidden
him .
it may be Jehovah
doth
look on mine affliction, and Jehovah
hath
turned
back
to
me good for his reviling
this day. '
It may be that
the
LORD
will
look on mine affliction, and that
the
LORD
will
requite
me good for his cursing
this day.
And David goeth
with
his men in
the way, and
Shimei is
going
at
the side of
the
hill
over -
against him, going
on,
and he revileth
, and stoneth
with
stones over-against
him, and hath
dusted
with
dust.
And as
David and
his men went
by
the way, Shimei went
along
on
the hill's
side over against him, and cursed
as
he went
, and threw
stones at
him, and cast
dust.
And the king cometh
in
, and all the people who
`are'
with him, wearied
, and they
are
refreshed there.
And the king, and all the people that
were
with him, came
weary
, and refreshed themselves
there.
And Absalom and all the people ,
the men of Israel, have
come
in
to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him ,
And Absalom ,
and all the people the men of Israel, came
to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him .
and it cometh
to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, hath
come unto Absalom, that Hushai saith
unto Absalom, `Let
the king live!
let
the king live!'
And it came
to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was
come unto Absalom, that Hushai said
unto Absalom, God
save
the king ,
God
save
the king .
And Absalom saith
unto
Hushai, `
This thy kindness with
thy friend !
why hast
thou not gone
with thy friend? '
And Absalom said
to
Hushai, Is
this thy kindness to
thy friend ?
why wentest
thou not with thy friend?
And Hushai saith
unto Absalom, `
Nay ,
for
he
whom Jehovah
hath
chosen
, and this people, even
all the men of Israel, his I am
, and with him I abide ;
And Hushai said
unto Absalom, Nay ;
but
whom the
LORD
, and this people, and
all the men of Israel, choose,
his will
I be
, and with him will
I abide .
and secondly
, for
whom do
I labour
? is
it
not before
his son? as I served before
thy father
so am
I before
thee
. '
And again
, whom should
I serve
? should
I
not serve
in
the
presence
of
his son? as I have
served in
thy father's
presence,
so will
I be
in
thy
presence
.
And
Absalom saith
unto
Ahithophel, `
Give for
you
counsel what we do. '
Then
said
Absalom to
Ahithophel, Give counsel among
you
what we shall
do.
And Ahithophel saith
unto Absalom, `
Go in unto the
concubines
of
thy father
, whom
he left to keep the house ,
and all Israel hath
heard
that thou hast
been
abhorred by
thy father ,
and
the hands of all who
`
are '
with thee have
been
strong. '
And Ahithophel said
unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's
concubines
, which
he hath
left to keep the house ;
and all Israel shall
hear
that thou art
abhorred of
thy father :
then
shall
the hands of all that
are with thee be
strong.
And
they spread out
for
Absalom the
tent on
the roof,
and Absalom goeth
in unto the
concubines
of
his father
before
the eyes
of all Israel.
So
they spread Absalom a
tent upon
the top
of
the
house;
and Absalom went
in unto his father's
concubines
in
the sight
of all Israel.
And the counsel of Ahithophel which he counselled
in those days `is'
as `when'
one
inquireth
at the word
of God ;
so `is'
all the counsel of Ahithophel both to
David and to
Absalom.
And the counsel of Ahithophel ,
which he counseled
in those days ,
was
as if
a
man
had
inquired
at the oracle
of God :
so was
all the counsel of Ahithophel both with
David and with
Absalom.
