Then said<S>559</S> Abishai<S>52</S> to David<S>1732</S>, God<S>430</S> hath delivered<S>5462</S> up thine enemy<S>341</S> into thy hand<S>3027</S> this day<S>3117</S>: now therefore let me smite<S>5221</S> him<S>2595</S>, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth<S>776</S> at one stroke<S>6471</S>, and I will not smite him the second time<S>8138</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abishai<S>52</S>, Destroy<S>7843</S> him not<S>7971</S>; for who can put forth his hand<S>3027</S> against Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>, and be guiltless<S>5352</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> in his heart<S>3820</S>, I shall now perish<S>5595</S> one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>: there is nothing better<S>2896</S> for me than that<S>3588</S> I should<S>4422</S> escape<S>4422</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> will despair<S>2976</S> of me<S>1245</S>, to seek me any more in all the borders<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: so shall I escape<S>4422</S> out of his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S>, Against whom<S>408</S> have ye made a raid<S>6584</S> to-day<S>3117</S>? And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, Against the South<S>5045</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and against the South<S>5045</S> of the Jerahmeelites<S>3397</S>, and against the South<S>5045</S> of the Kenites<S>7017</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> saved<S>2421</S> neither man<S>376</S> nor woman<S>802</S> alive<S>2421</S>, to bring<S>935</S> them to Gath<S>1661</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Lest they should tell<S>5046</S> of us<S>559</S>, saying, So did<S>6213</S> David<S>1732</S>, and so hath been his manner<S>4941</S> all the while<S>3117</S> he hath dwelt<S>3427</S> in the country<S>7704</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And Achish<S>397</S> believed<S>539</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, He hath made his people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> utterly<S>887</S> to abhor<S>887</S> him<S>5650</S>; therefore he shall be my servant for ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and passed over<S>5674</S>, he and the six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> that were with him<S>397</S>, unto Achish the son<S>1121</S> of Maoch<S>4582</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> with Achish<S>397</S> at Gath<S>1661</S>, he and his men<S>582</S>, every man<S>376</S> with his household<S>1004</S>, even David<S>1732</S> with his two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S>, Ahinoam<S>293</S> the Jezreelitess<S>3159</S>, and Abigail<S>26</S> the Carmelitess<S>3762</S>, Nabal<S>5037</S>'s wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S> that David<S>1732</S> was fled<S>1272</S> to Gath<S>1661</S>: and he sought<S>1245</S> no more again for him<S>3254</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Achish<S>397</S>, If now I have found<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in thine eyes<S>5869</S>, let them give<S>5414</S> me a place<S>4725</S> in one<S>259</S> of the cities<S>5892</S> in the country<S>7704</S>, that I may dwell<S>3427</S> there<S>5650</S>: for why should thy servant dwell<S>3427</S> in the royal<S>4467</S> city with thee<S>5892</S>?


text:
Then Achish<S>397</S> gave<S>5414</S> him Ziklag<S>6860</S> that day<S>3117</S>: wherefore Ziklag<S>6860</S> pertaineth unto the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the number<S>4557</S> of the days that David<S>1732</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> in the country<S>7704</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> was a full year<S>3117</S> and four<S>702</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and made a raid<S>6584</S> upon the Geshurites<S>1651</S>, and the Girzites<S>1511</S>, and the Amalekites<S>6003</S>; for those<S>2007</S> nations were the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the land<S>776</S>, who were of old<S>5769</S>, as thou goest<S>935</S> to Shur<S>7793</S>, even unto the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> smote<S>5221</S> the land<S>776</S>, and saved neither man<S>376</S> nor woman<S>802</S> alive<S>2421</S>, and took away<S>3947</S> the sheep<S>6629</S>, and the oxen<S>1241</S>, and the asses<S>2543</S>, and the camels<S>1581</S>, and the apparel<S>899</S>; and he returned<S>7725</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Achish<S>397</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in those days<S>3117</S>, that the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered<S>6908</S> their hosts<S>4264</S> together<S>6908</S> for warfare<S>6635</S>, to fight<S>3898</S> with Israel<S>3478</S>. And Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Know<S>3045</S> thou assuredly<S>3045</S>, that thou shalt go out<S>3318</S> with me in the host<S>4264</S>, thou and thy men<S>582</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> sware<S>7650</S> to her by Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, As Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, there shall<S>518</S> no punishment<S>5771</S> happen<S>7136</S> to thee for this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> the woman<S>802</S>, Whom shall I bring up<S>5927</S> unto thee<S>559</S>? And he said, Bring me up<S>5927</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>.


text:
And when the woman<S>802</S> saw<S>7200</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, she cried<S>2199</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>; and the woman<S>802</S> spake<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Why hast thou deceived<S>7411</S> me<S>7586</S>? for thou art Saul.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>3372</S>, Be not afraid: for what seest<S>7200</S> thou<S>802</S>? And the woman said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, I see<S>7200</S> a god<S>430</S> coming up<S>5927</S> out of the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto her<S>8389</S>, What form is he of<S>559</S>? And she said, An old<S>2205</S> man<S>376</S> cometh up<S>5927</S>; and he is covered<S>5844</S> with a robe<S>4598</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> perceived<S>3045</S> that it was Samuel<S>8050</S>, and he bowed<S>6915</S> with his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>, and did obeisance<S>7812</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, Why hast thou disquieted<S>7264</S> me<S>5927</S>, to bring me up? And Saul<S>7586</S> answered<S>559</S>, I am sore<S>3966</S> distressed<S>6887</S>; for the Philistines<S>6430</S> make war<S>3898</S> against me<S>430</S>, and God is departed<S>5493</S> from me<S>6030</S>, and answereth me no more<S>3027</S>, neither by prophets<S>5030</S>, nor by dreams<S>2472</S>: therefore I have called<S>7121</S> thee<S>3045</S>, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do<S>6213</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, Wherefore then dost thou ask<S>7592</S> of me<S>3068</S>, seeing Jehovah is departed<S>5493</S> from thee<S>6145</S>, and is become thine adversary?


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath done<S>6213</S> unto thee<S>1696</S>, as he spake by me<S>3027</S>: and Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath rent<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> out of thy hand<S>3027</S>, and given<S>5414</S> it to thy neighbor<S>7453</S>, even to David<S>1732</S>.


text:
Because<S>834</S> thou obeyedst<S>8085</S> not the voice<S>6963</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and didst not execute<S>6213</S> his fierce<S>2740</S> wrath<S>639</S> upon Amalek<S>6002</S>, therefore hath Jehovah<S>3068</S> done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S> unto thee this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Moreover Jehovah<S>3068</S> will deliver<S>5414</S> Israel<S>3478</S> also with thee into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and to-morrow<S>4279</S> shalt thou and thy sons<S>1121</S> be with me<S>3068</S>: Jehovah will deliver<S>5414</S> the host<S>4264</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> also into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Achish<S>397</S>, Therefore<S>3651</S> thou shalt know<S>3045</S> what thy servant<S>5650</S> will do<S>6213</S>. And Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Therefore will I make<S>7760</S> thee keeper<S>8104</S> of my head<S>7218</S> for ever<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> fell<S>5307</S> straightway<S>4116</S> his full<S>4393</S> length<S>6967</S> upon the earth<S>776</S>, and was sore<S>3966</S> afraid<S>3372</S>, because of the words<S>1697</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S>: and there was no strength<S>3581</S> in him<S>398</S>; for he had eaten no bread<S>3899</S> all the day<S>3117</S>, nor all the night<S>3915</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> came<S>935</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> that he was sore<S>3966</S> troubled<S>926</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>8198</S>, Behold, thy handmaid hath hearkened<S>8085</S> unto thy voice<S>6963</S>, and I have put<S>7760</S> my life<S>5315</S> in my hand<S>3709</S>, and have hearkened<S>8085</S> unto thy words<S>1697</S> which thou spakest unto me<S>1696</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>8085</S>, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice<S>6963</S> of thy handmaid<S>8198</S>, and let me set<S>7760</S> a morsel<S>6595</S> of bread<S>3899</S> before<S>6440</S> thee<S>398</S>; and eat, that thou mayest have strength<S>3581</S>, when thou goest<S>3212</S> on thy way<S>1870</S>.


text:
But he refused<S>3985</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I will not eat<S>398</S>. But his servants<S>5650</S>, together with the woman<S>802</S>, constrained<S>6555</S> him<S>8085</S>; and he hearkened unto their voice<S>6963</S>. So he arose<S>6965</S> from the earth<S>776</S>, and sat<S>3427</S> upon the bed<S>4296</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> had a fatted<S>4770</S> calf<S>5695</S> in the house<S>1004</S>; and she hasted<S>4116</S>, and killed<S>2076</S> it<S>3947</S>; and she took flour<S>7058</S>, and kneaded<S>3888</S> it<S>644</S>, and did bake unleavened bread thereof<S>4682</S>:


text:
and she brought<S>5066</S> it before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, and before<S>6440</S> his servants<S>5650</S>; and they did eat<S>398</S>. Then they rose up<S>6965</S>, and went away<S>3212</S> that night<S>3915</S>.


text:
Now Samuel<S>8050</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> had lamented<S>5594</S> him<S>6912</S>, and buried him in Ramah<S>7414</S>, even in his own city<S>5892</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> had put away<S>5493</S> those that had familiar spirits<S>178</S>, and the wizards<S>3049</S>, out of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S>, and came<S>935</S> and encamped<S>2583</S> in Shunem<S>7766</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> together<S>6908</S>, and they encamped<S>2583</S> in Gilboa<S>1533</S>.


text:
And when Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> the host<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, he was afraid<S>3372</S>, and his heart<S>3820</S> trembled<S>2729</S> greatly<S>3966</S>.


text:
And when Saul<S>7586</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> answered<S>6030</S> him not<S>2472</S>, neither by dreams, nor by Urim<S>224</S>, nor by prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, Seek<S>1245</S> me a woman<S>802</S> that hath<S>1172</S> a familiar spirit<S>178</S>, that I may go<S>3212</S> to her<S>1875</S>, and inquire of her<S>5650</S>. And his servants said<S>559</S> to him<S>802</S>, Behold, there is a woman that hath<S>1172</S> a familiar spirit<S>178</S> at En-dor<S>5874</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> disguised<S>2664</S> himself<S>3847</S>, and put on other<S>312</S> raiment<S>899</S>, and went<S>3212</S>, he and two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S> with him<S>935</S>, and they came to the woman<S>802</S> by night<S>3915</S>: and he said<S>559</S>, Divine<S>7080</S> unto me<S>178</S>, I pray thee, by the familiar spirit, and bring me up<S>5927</S> whomsoever I shall name unto thee<S>559</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3045</S>, Behold, thou knowest what Saul<S>7586</S> hath done<S>6213</S>, how he hath cut off<S>3772</S> those that have familiar spirits<S>178</S>, and the wizards<S>3049</S>, out of the land<S>776</S>: wherefore then layest thou a snare<S>5367</S> for my life<S>5315</S>, to cause me to die<S>4191</S>?


text:
Now the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered together<S>6908</S> all their hosts<S>4264</S> to Aphek<S>663</S>: and the Israelites<S>3478</S> encamped<S>2583</S> by the fountain<S>5869</S> which is in Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
Wherefore now rise up early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> with the servants<S>5650</S> of thy lord<S>113</S> that are come<S>935</S> with thee<S>7925</S>; and as soon as ye are up early in the morning<S>1242</S>, and have light<S>215</S>, depart<S>3212</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> rose up early<S>7925</S>, he and his men<S>582</S>, to depart<S>3212</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, to return<S>7725</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>. And the Philistines<S>6430</S> went up<S>5927</S> to Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
And the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> passed on<S>5674</S> by hundreds<S>3967</S>, and by thousands<S>505</S>; and David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> passed on<S>5674</S> in the rearward<S>314</S> with Achish<S>397</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, What do these Hebrews<S>5680</S> here<S>397</S>? And Achish said<S>559</S> unto the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, Is not this David<S>1732</S>, the servant<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who hath been with me these days<S>3117</S>, or rather these years<S>8141</S>, and I have found<S>4672</S> no fault<S>3972</S> in him since<S>3117</S> he fell<S>5307</S> away unto me unto this day<S>3117</S>?


text:
But he princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> were wroth<S>7107</S> with him<S>8269</S>; and the princes of the Philistines<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7725</S>, Make the man<S>376</S> return<S>7725</S>, that he may go back<S>7725</S> to his place<S>4725</S> where thou hast appointed<S>6485</S> him<S>3381</S>, and let him not go down with us to battle<S>4421</S>, lest in the battle<S>4421</S> he become an adversary<S>7854</S> to us<S>7521</S>: for wherewith should this fellow reconcile himself unto his lord<S>113</S>? should it not be with the heads<S>7218</S> of these men<S>582</S>?


text:
Is not this David<S>1732</S>, of whom they sang<S>6030</S> one to another in dances<S>4246</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> hath slain<S>5221</S> his thousands<S>505</S>, And David<S>1732</S> his ten thousands<S>505</S>?


text:
Then Achish<S>397</S> called<S>7121</S> David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3068</S>, As Jehovah liveth<S>2416</S>, thou hast been upright<S>3477</S>, and thy going out<S>3318</S> and thy coming in<S>935</S> with me in the host<S>4264</S> is good<S>2896</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>; for I have not found<S>4672</S> evil<S>7451</S> in thee since the day<S>3117</S> of thy coming<S>935</S> unto me unto this day<S>3117</S>: nevertheless the lords<S>5633</S> favor<S>2896</S> thee not<S>5869</S>.


text:
Wherefore now return<S>7725</S>, and go<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, that thou displease<S>7451</S> not the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Achish<S>397</S>, But what have I done<S>6213</S>? and what hast thou found<S>4672</S> in thy servant<S>5650</S> so long as<S>3117</S> I have been before thee<S>6440</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>, that I may not go<S>935</S> and fight<S>3898</S> against the enemies<S>341</S> of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>?

And Achish<S>397</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, I know<S>3045</S> that thou art good<S>2896</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>, as an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>: notwithstanding the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> have said<S>559</S>, He shall not go up<S>5927</S> with us to the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
And the child<S>5288</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> ministered<S>8334</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> before<S>6440</S> Eli<S>5941</S>. And the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was precious<S>3368</S> in those days<S>3117</S>; there was no frequent<S>6555</S> vision<S>2377</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> came<S>935</S>, and stood<S>3320</S>, and called<S>7121</S> as at other times<S>6471</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S>. Then Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, Speak<S>1696</S>; for thy servant<S>5650</S> heareth<S>8085</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, Behold<S>6213</S>, I will do a thing<S>1697</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, at which both<S>8147</S> the ears<S>241</S> of every one that heareth<S>8085</S> it shall tingle<S>6750</S>.


text:
In that day<S>3117</S> I will perform<S>6965</S> against Eli<S>5941</S> all that I have spoken<S>1696</S> concerning<S>413</S> his house<S>1004</S>, from the beginning<S>2490</S> even unto the end<S>3615</S>.


text:
For I have told<S>5046</S> him that I will judge<S>8199</S> his house<S>1004</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>, for the iniquity<S>5771</S> which he knew<S>3045</S>, because his sons<S>1121</S> did bring a curse<S>7043</S> upon themselves<S>3543</S>, and he restrained them not.


text:
And therefore I have sworn<S>7650</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, that the iniquity<S>5771</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>'s house<S>1004</S> shall not be expiated<S>3722</S> with sacrifice<S>2077</S> nor offering<S>4503</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> lay<S>7901</S> until the morning<S>1242</S>, and opened<S>6605</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> feared<S>3372</S> to show<S>5046</S> Eli<S>5941</S> the vision<S>4759</S>.


text:
Then Eli<S>5941</S> called<S>7121</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S>, my son<S>1121</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Here am I.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, What is the thing<S>1697</S> that Jehovah hath spoken<S>1696</S> unto thee<S>3582</S>? I pray thee, hide it not from me<S>430</S>: God do so<S>6213</S> to thee<S>3254</S>, and more also, if thou hide<S>3582</S> anything<S>1697</S> from me of all the things<S>1697</S> that he spake unto thee<S>1696</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> told<S>5046</S> him every whit<S>1697</S>, and hid<S>3582</S> nothing from him<S>559</S>. And he said, It is Jehovah<S>3068</S>: let him do<S>6213</S> what seemeth<S>5869</S> him good<S>2896</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> grew<S>1431</S>, and Jehovah<S>3068</S> was with him<S>1697</S>, and did let none of his words fall<S>5307</S> to the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at that time<S>3117</S>, when Eli<S>5941</S> was laid down<S>7901</S> in his place<S>4725</S> (now his eyes<S>5869</S> had begun<S>2490</S> to wax dim<S>3544</S>, so that he could<S>3201</S> not see<S>7200</S>),


text:
And all Israel<S>3478</S> from Dan<S>1835</S> even to Beer-sheba<S>884</S> knew<S>3045</S> that Samuel<S>8050</S> was established<S>539</S> to be a prophet<S>5030</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> again<S>3254</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>; for Jehovah<S>3068</S> revealed<S>1540</S> himself to Samuel<S>8050</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
and the lamp<S>5216</S> of God<S>430</S> was not yet gone out<S>3518</S>, and Samuel<S>8050</S> was laid down to<S>7901</S> sleep<S>1964</S>, in the temple of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, where the ark<S>727</S> of God was<S>430</S>;


text:
And he ran<S>7323</S> unto Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Here am I<S>2009</S>; for thou calledst<S>7121</S> me<S>559</S>. And he said, I called<S>7121</S> not<S>7901</S>; lie down again<S>7725</S>. And he went<S>3212</S> and lay down<S>7901</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> called<S>7121</S> yet again<S>3254</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Here am I<S>7121</S>; for thou calledst me<S>559</S>. And he answered, I called<S>7121</S> not<S>1121</S>, my son; lie down<S>7901</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
Now Samuel<S>8050</S> did not yet<S>2962</S> know<S>3045</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, neither was the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> yet revealed unto him<S>1540</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> called<S>7121</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> again<S>3254</S> the third time<S>7992</S>. And he arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Here am I<S>7121</S>; for thou calledst me<S>5941</S>. And Eli perceived<S>995</S> that Jehovah<S>3068</S> had called<S>7121</S> the child<S>5288</S>.


text:
Therefore Eli<S>5941</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, lie down<S>7901</S>: and it shall be<S>7121</S>, if he call thee<S>559</S>, that thou shalt say, Speak<S>1696</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S>; for thy servant<S>5650</S> heareth<S>8085</S>. So Samuel<S>8050</S> went<S>3212</S> and lay down<S>7901</S> in his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1732</S>, when David and his men<S>582</S> were come<S>935</S> to Ziklag<S>6860</S> on the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>, that the Amalekites<S>6003</S> had made a raid<S>6584</S> upon the South<S>5045</S>, and upon Ziklag<S>6860</S>, and had smitten<S>5221</S> Ziklag<S>6860</S>, and burned<S>8313</S> it with fire<S>784</S>,


text:
But David<S>1732</S> pursued<S>7291</S>, he and four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>; for two hundred<S>3967</S> stayed behind<S>5975</S>, who were so faint<S>6296</S> that they could not go over<S>5674</S> the brook<S>5158</S> Besor<S>1308</S>.


text:
And they found<S>4672</S> an Egyptian<S>376</S> in the field<S>7704</S>, and brought<S>3947</S> him to David<S>1732</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> him bread<S>3899</S>, and he did eat<S>398</S>; and they gave him water<S>4325</S> to drink<S>8248</S>.


text:
And they gave<S>5414</S> him a piece<S>6400</S> of a cake<S>1690</S> of figs<S>8147</S>, and two clusters of raisins<S>6778</S>: and when he had eaten<S>398</S>, his spirit<S>7307</S> came again<S>7725</S> to him<S>398</S>; for he had eaten no bread<S>3899</S>, nor drunk<S>8354</S> any water<S>4325</S>, three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S> and three<S>7969</S> nights<S>3915</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man<S>5288</S> of Egypt<S>4713</S>, servant<S>5650</S> to an Amalekite<S>376</S>; and my master<S>113</S> left<S>5800</S> me<S>7969</S>, because three days<S>3117</S> ago I fell sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
We made a raid<S>6584</S> upon the South<S>5045</S> of the Cherethites<S>3774</S>, and upon that which belongeth to Judah<S>3063</S>, and upon the South<S>5045</S> of Caleb<S>3612</S>; and we burned<S>8313</S> Ziklag<S>6860</S> with fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3381</S>, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop<S>1416</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, Swear<S>7650</S> unto me by God<S>430</S>, that thou wilt neither kill<S>4191</S> me<S>518</S>, nor deliver<S>5462</S> me up into the hands<S>3027</S> of my master<S>113</S>, and I will bring thee down<S>3381</S> to this troop<S>1416</S>.


text:
And when he had brought him down<S>3381</S>, behold<S>5203</S>, they were spread abroad over all<S>6440</S> the ground<S>776</S>, eating<S>398</S> and drinking<S>8354</S>, and dancing<S>2287</S>, because of all the great<S>1419</S> spoil<S>7998</S> that they had taken<S>3947</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and out of the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> smote<S>5221</S> them from the twilight<S>5399</S> even unto the evening<S>6153</S> of the next day<S>4283</S>: and there escaped<S>4422</S> not a man<S>376</S> of them<S>702</S>, save four hundred<S>3967</S> young<S>5288</S> men<S>376</S>, who rode<S>7392</S> upon camels<S>1581</S> and fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> recovered<S>5337</S> all that the Amalekites<S>6002</S> had taken<S>3947</S>; and David<S>1732</S> rescued<S>5337</S> his two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S>.


text:
And there was nothing lacking<S>5737</S> to them<S>4480</S>, neither small<S>6996</S> nor great<S>1419</S>, neither sons<S>1121</S> nor daughters<S>1323</S>, neither spoil<S>7998</S>, nor anything that they had taken<S>3947</S> to them<S>1732</S>: David brought back all<S>3947</S>.


text:
and had taken captive<S>7617</S> the women<S>802</S> and all that were therein<S>6996</S>, both small and great<S>1419</S>: they slew<S>4191</S> not any<S>376</S>, but carried them off<S>5090</S>, and went<S>3212</S> their way<S>1870</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> all the flocks<S>6629</S> and the herds<S>1241</S>, which they drove<S>5090</S> before<S>6440</S> those<S>1931</S> other cattle<S>4735</S>, and said<S>559</S>, This is David<S>1732</S>'s spoil<S>7998</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to the two hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>582</S>, who were so faint<S>6296</S> that they could not follow<S>3212</S> David<S>1732</S>, whom also they had made to abide<S>3427</S> at the brook<S>5158</S> Besor<S>1308</S>; and they went forth<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> David<S>1732</S>, and to meet<S>7125</S> the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>1732</S>: and when David came near<S>5066</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, he saluted them<S>7592</S>.


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> all the wicked<S>7451</S> men<S>376</S> and base<S>1100</S> fellows<S>582</S>, of those that went<S>1980</S> with David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Because they went<S>1980</S> not with us<S>5414</S>, we will not give them aught of the spoil<S>7998</S> that we have recovered<S>5337</S>, save to every man<S>376</S> his wife<S>802</S> and his children<S>1121</S>, that he may lead them away<S>5090</S>, and depart<S>3212</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> David<S>1732</S>, Ye shall not do so<S>6213</S>, my brethren<S>251</S>, with that which Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath given<S>5414</S> unto us<S>8104</S>, who hath preserved us<S>5414</S>, and delivered the troop<S>1416</S> that came<S>935</S> against us into our hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And who will hearken<S>8085</S> unto you in this matter<S>1697</S>? for as his share<S>2506</S> is that goeth down<S>3381</S> to the battle<S>4421</S>, so shall his share<S>2506</S> be that tarrieth<S>3427</S> by the baggage<S>3627</S>: they shall share<S>2505</S> alike<S>3162</S>.


text:
And it was so from that day<S>3117</S> forward<S>4605</S>, that he made<S>7760</S> it a statute<S>2706</S> and an ordinance<S>4941</S> for Israel<S>3478</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Ziklag<S>6860</S>, he sent<S>7971</S> of the spoil<S>7998</S> unto the elders<S>2205</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, even to his friends<S>7453</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>1293</S>, a present for you of the spoil<S>7998</S> of the enemies<S>341</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>:


text:
To them<S>834</S> that were in Beth-el<S>1008</S>, and to them that were in Ramoth<S>7418</S> of the South<S>5045</S>, and to them that were in Jattir<S>3492</S>,


text:
and to them that were in Aroer<S>6177</S>, and to them that were in Siphmoth<S>8224</S>, and to them that were in Eshtemoa<S>851</S>,


text:
and to them that were in Racal<S>7403</S>, and to them that were in the cities<S>5892</S> of the Jerahmeelites<S>3397</S>, and to them that were in the cities<S>5892</S> of the Kenites<S>7017</S>,


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> came<S>935</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, behold<S>8313</S>, it was burned with fire<S>784</S>; and their wives<S>802</S>, and their sons<S>1121</S>, and their daughters<S>1323</S>, were taken captive<S>7617</S>.


text:
and to them that were in Hormah<S>2767</S>, and to them that were in Bor-ashan<S>3565</S>, and to them that were in Athach<S>6269</S>,


text:
and to them that were in Hebron<S>2275</S>, and to all the places<S>4725</S> where David<S>1732</S> himself and his men<S>582</S> were wont to haunt<S>1980</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> and the people<S>5971</S> that were with him lifted up<S>5375</S> their voice<S>6963</S> and wept<S>1058</S>, until they had no more power<S>3581</S> to weep<S>1058</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S>'s two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S> were taken captive<S>7617</S>, Ahinoam<S>293</S> the Jezreelitess<S>3159</S>, and Abigail<S>26</S> the wife<S>802</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S> the Carmelite<S>3761</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> was greatly<S>3966</S> distressed<S>3334</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> spake<S>559</S> of stoning<S>5619</S> him<S>5315</S>, because the soul of all the people<S>5971</S> was grieved<S>4843</S>, every man<S>376</S> for his sons<S>1121</S> and for his daughters<S>1323</S>: but David<S>1732</S> strengthened<S>2388</S> himself in Jehovah<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Ahimelech<S>288</S>, I pray thee<S>5066</S>, bring me hither the ephod<S>646</S>. And Abiathar<S>54</S> brought<S>5066</S> thither the ephod<S>646</S> to David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, If I pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> this troop<S>1416</S>, shall I overtake<S>5381</S> them<S>559</S>? And he answered him<S>7291</S>, Pursue; for thou shalt surely<S>5381</S> overtake<S>5381</S> them<S>5337</S>, and shalt without fail recover all<S>5337</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> went<S>3212</S>, he and the six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> that were with him<S>935</S>, and came to the brook<S>5158</S> Besor<S>1308</S>, where those that were left behind<S>3498</S> stayed<S>5975</S>.


text:
Now the Philistines<S>6430</S> fought<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>: and the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> fled<S>5127</S> from before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and fell down<S>5307</S> slain<S>2491</S> in mount<S>2022</S> Gilboa<S>1533</S>.


text:
And they put<S>7760</S> his armor<S>3627</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>; and they fastened<S>8628</S> his body<S>1472</S> to the wall<S>2346</S> of Beth-shan<S>1052</S>.


text:
And when the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jabesh-gilead<S>3003</S> heard<S>8085</S> concerning him that which the Philistines<S>6430</S> had done<S>6213</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>,


text:
all the valiant<S>2428</S> men<S>376</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> all night<S>3915</S>, and took<S>3947</S> the body<S>1472</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> and the bodies<S>1472</S> of his sons<S>1121</S> from the wall<S>2346</S> of Beth-shan<S>1052</S>; and they came<S>935</S> to Jabesh<S>3003</S>, and burnt them there<S>8313</S>.

And they took<S>3947</S> their bones<S>6106</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> them under the tamarisk-tree<S>815</S> in Jabesh<S>3003</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> followed hard<S>1692</S> upon Saul<S>7586</S> and upon his sons<S>1121</S>; and the Philistines<S>6430</S> slew<S>5221</S> Jonathan<S>3083</S>, and Abinadab<S>41</S>, and Malchi-shua<S>4444</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
And the battle<S>4421</S> went sore<S>3513</S> against Saul<S>7586</S>, and the archers<S>582</S> overtook<S>4672</S> him<S>3966</S>; and he was greatly distressed<S>2342</S> by reason of the archers<S>582</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to his armorbearer<S>5375</S>, Draw<S>8025</S> thy sword<S>2719</S>, and thrust me through<S>1856</S> therewith<S>6189</S>, lest these uncircumcised come<S>935</S> and thrust me through<S>1856</S>, and abuse<S>5953</S> me<S>5375</S>. But his armorbearer would<S>14</S> not<S>3966</S>; for he was sore afraid<S>3372</S>. Therefore Saul<S>7586</S> took<S>3947</S> his sword<S>2719</S>, and fell upon it<S>5307</S>.


text:
And when his armorbearer<S>5375</S> saw<S>7200</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, he likewise fell<S>5307</S> upon his sword<S>2719</S>, and died with him<S>4191</S>.


text:
So Saul<S>7586</S> died<S>4191</S>, and his three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S>, and his armorbearer<S>5375</S>, and all his men<S>582</S>, that same day<S>3117</S> together<S>3162</S>.


text:
And when the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that were on the other side<S>5676</S> of the valley<S>6010</S>, and they that were beyond<S>5676</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, saw<S>7200</S> that the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> fled<S>5127</S>, and that Saul<S>7586</S> and his sons<S>1121</S> were dead<S>4191</S>, they forsook<S>5800</S> the cities<S>5892</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>; and the Philistines<S>6430</S> came<S>935</S> and dwelt in them<S>3427</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the morrow<S>4283</S>, when the Philistines<S>6430</S> came<S>935</S> to strip<S>6584</S> the slain<S>2491</S>, that they found<S>4672</S> Saul<S>7586</S> and his three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> fallen<S>5307</S> in mount<S>2022</S> Gilboa<S>1533</S>.


text:
And they cut off<S>3772</S> his head<S>7218</S>, and stripped off<S>6584</S> his armor<S>3627</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> round about<S>5439</S>, to carry the tidings<S>1319</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of their idols<S>6091</S>, and to the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And the word<S>1697</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S> came to all Israel<S>3478</S>. Now Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> beside Eben-ezer<S>72</S>: and the Philistines<S>6430</S> encamped<S>2583</S> in Aphek<S>663</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> fought<S>3898</S>, and Israel<S>3478</S> was smitten<S>5062</S>, and they fled<S>5127</S> every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>: and there was a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>; for there fell<S>5307</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S>.


text:
And the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was taken<S>3947</S>; and the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, were slain<S>4191</S>.


text:
And there ran<S>7323</S> a man<S>376</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> out of the army<S>4634</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S> the same day<S>3117</S>, with his clothes<S>4055</S> rent<S>7167</S>, and with earth<S>127</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>.


text:
And when he came<S>935</S>, lo<S>5941</S>, Eli was sitting<S>3427</S> upon his seat<S>3678</S> by the wayside<S>3027</S> watching<S>6822</S>; for his heart<S>3820</S> trembled<S>2730</S> for the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>. And when the man<S>376</S> came<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, and told<S>5046</S> it<S>5892</S>, all the city cried out<S>2199</S>.


text:
And when Eli<S>5941</S> heard<S>8085</S> the noise<S>6963</S> of the crying<S>6818</S>, he said<S>559</S>, What meaneth the noise<S>6963</S> of this tumult<S>1995</S>? And the man<S>376</S> hasted<S>4116</S>, and came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> Eli<S>5941</S>.


text:
Now Eli<S>5941</S> was ninety<S>8673</S> and eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>; and his eyes<S>5869</S> were set<S>6965</S>, so that he could<S>3201</S> not see<S>7200</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> unto Eli<S>5941</S>, I am he that came<S>935</S> out of the army<S>4634</S>, and I fled<S>5127</S> to-day<S>3117</S> out of the army<S>4634</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, How went the matter<S>1697</S>, my son<S>1121</S>?


text:
And he<S>1319</S> that brought the tidings answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>6030</S>, Israel<S>3478</S> is fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and there hath been also a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4046</S> among the people<S>5971</S>, and thy two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> also<S>2652</S>, Hophni and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, are dead<S>4191</S>, and the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> is taken<S>3947</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>2142</S>, when he made mention of the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, that Eli fell<S>5307</S> from off his seat<S>3678</S> backward<S>322</S> by<S>1157</S> the side<S>3027</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>; and his neck<S>4665</S> brake<S>7665</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>: for he was an old<S>2204</S> man<S>376</S>, and heavy<S>3513</S>. And he had judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And his daughter-in<S>3618</S>-law, Phinehas<S>6372</S>' wife<S>802</S>, was with child<S>2030</S>, near to be delivered<S>3205</S>: and when she heard<S>8085</S> the tidings<S>8052</S> that<S>413</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was taken<S>3947</S>, and that her father-in<S>2524</S>-law and her husband<S>376</S> were dead<S>4191</S>, she bowed<S>3766</S> herself and brought forth<S>3205</S>; for her pains<S>6735</S> came upon her<S>2015</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> put themselves in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: and when they joined<S>5203</S> battle<S>4421</S>, Israel<S>3478</S> was smitten<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and they slew<S>5221</S> of the army<S>4634</S> in the field<S>7704</S> about four<S>702</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And about the time<S>6256</S> of her death<S>4191</S> the women that stood<S>5324</S> by her said<S>1696</S> unto her<S>3372</S>, Fear not<S>3205</S>; for thou hast brought forth a son<S>1121</S>. But she answered<S>6030</S> not<S>7896</S>, neither did she regard it.


text:
And she named<S>7121</S> the child<S>5288</S> Ichabod<S>350</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The glory<S>3519</S> is departed<S>1540</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>; because<S>413</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was taken<S>3947</S>, and because of her father-in<S>2524</S>-law and her husband<S>376</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, The glory<S>3519</S> is departed<S>1540</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>; for the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> is taken<S>3947</S>.


text:
And when the people<S>5971</S> were come<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>, the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Wherefore hath Jehovah<S>3068</S> smitten<S>5062</S> us to-day<S>3117</S> before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>? Let us fetch<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> out of Shiloh<S>7887</S> unto us<S>935</S>, that it may come among<S>7130</S> us<S>3467</S>, and save us out of the hand<S>3709</S> of our enemies<S>341</S>.


text:
So the people<S>5971</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S>; and they brought<S>5375</S> from thence the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>, who sitteth<S>3427</S> above the cherubim<S>3742</S>: and the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, were there with the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
And when the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>, all Israel<S>3478</S> shouted<S>7321</S> with a great<S>1419</S> shout<S>8643</S>, so that the earth<S>776</S> rang again<S>1949</S>.


text:
And when the Philistines<S>6430</S> heard<S>8085</S> the noise<S>6963</S> of the shout<S>8643</S>, they said<S>559</S>, What meaneth the noise<S>6963</S> of this great<S>1419</S> shout<S>8643</S> in the camp<S>4264</S> of the Hebrews<S>5680</S>? And they understood<S>3045</S> that the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was come<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> were afraid<S>3372</S>, for they said<S>559</S>, God<S>430</S> is come<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>. And they said<S>559</S>, Woe<S>188</S> unto us<S>865</S>! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.


text:
Woe<S>188</S> unto us<S>5337</S>! who shall deliver us out of the hand<S>3027</S> of these mighty<S>117</S> gods<S>430</S>? these are the gods<S>430</S> that smote<S>5221</S> the Egyptians<S>4714</S> with all manner of plagues<S>4347</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
Be strong<S>2388</S>, and quit<S>1961</S> yourselves like men<S>582</S>, O ye Philistines<S>6430</S>, that ye be not servants<S>5647</S> unto the Hebrews<S>5680</S>, as they have been<S>5647</S> to you<S>1961</S>: quit yourselves like men<S>582</S>, and fight<S>3898</S>.


text:
Now the Philistines<S>6430</S> had taken<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, and they brought<S>935</S> it from Eben-ezer<S>72</S> unto Ashdod<S>795</S>.


text:
So they sent<S>7971</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> to Ekron<S>6138</S>. And it came to pass<S>727</S>, as the ark of God<S>430</S> came<S>935</S> to Ekron<S>6138</S>, that the Ekronites<S>6139</S> cried out<S>2199</S>, saying<S>559</S>, They have brought about<S>5437</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to us<S>4191</S>, to slay us and our people<S>5971</S>.


text:
They sent<S>7971</S> therefore and gathered together<S>622</S> all the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and they said<S>559</S>, Send away<S>7971</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and let it go again<S>7725</S> to its own place<S>4725</S>, that is slay<S>4191</S> us not<S>5971</S>, and our people. For there was a deadly<S>4194</S> discomfiture<S>4103</S> throughout all the city<S>5892</S>; the hand<S>3027</S> of God<S>430</S> was very<S>3966</S> heavy there<S>3513</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> that died<S>4191</S> not were smitten<S>5221</S> with the tumors<S>2914</S>; and the cry<S>7775</S> of the city<S>5892</S> went up<S>5927</S> to heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> took<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it into the house<S>1004</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S>, and set<S>3322</S> it by<S>681</S> Dagon<S>1712</S>.


text:
And when they of Ashdod<S>796</S> arose early<S>7925</S> on the morrow<S>4283</S>, behold<S>1712</S>, Dagon was fallen<S>5307</S> upon his face<S>6440</S> to the ground<S>776</S> before<S>6440</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>. And they took<S>3947</S> Dagon<S>1712</S>, and set<S>7725</S> him in his place<S>4725</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And when they arose early<S>7925</S> on the morrow<S>4283</S> morning<S>1242</S>, behold<S>1712</S>, Dagon was fallen<S>5307</S> upon his face<S>6440</S> to the ground<S>776</S> before<S>6440</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; and the head<S>7218</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S> and both<S>8147</S> the palms<S>3709</S> of his hands<S>3027</S> lay cut off<S>3772</S> upon the threshold<S>4670</S>; only the stump of Dagon<S>1712</S> was left to him<S>7604</S>.


text:
Therefore neither the priests<S>3548</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S>, nor any that come<S>935</S> into Dagon<S>1712</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, tread<S>1869</S> on the threshold<S>4670</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S> in Ashdod<S>795</S>, unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But the hand<S>3027</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was heavy<S>3513</S> upon them of Ashdod<S>796</S>, and he destroyed<S>8074</S> them<S>5221</S>, and smote them with tumors<S>2914</S>, even Ashdod<S>795</S> and the borders thereof<S>1366</S>.


text:
And when the men<S>582</S> of Ashdod<S>795</S> saw<S>7200</S> that it was so<S>559</S>, they said, The ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> shall not abide<S>3427</S> with us<S>3027</S>; for his hand is sore<S>7185</S> upon us<S>1712</S>, and upon Dagon our god<S>430</S>.


text:
They sent<S>7971</S> therefore and gathered<S>622</S> all the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> unto them<S>559</S>, and said, What shall we do<S>6213</S> with the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? And they answered<S>559</S>, Let the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> be carried about<S>5437</S> unto Gath<S>1661</S>. And they carried<S>5437</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> thither<S>5437</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>310</S>, that, after they had carried it about<S>5437</S>, the hand<S>3027</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was against the city<S>5892</S> with a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> discomfiture<S>4103</S>: and he smote<S>5221</S> the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, both small<S>6996</S> and great<S>1419</S>; and tumors<S>2914</S> brake out upon them<S>8368</S>.


text:
And the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was in the country<S>7704</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> seven<S>7651</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> did so<S>6213</S>, and took<S>3947</S> two<S>8147</S> milch<S>5763</S> kine<S>6510</S>, and tied<S>631</S> them to the cart<S>5699</S>, and shut up<S>3607</S> their calves<S>1121</S> at home<S>1004</S>;


text:
and they put<S>7760</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> upon the cart<S>5699</S>, and the coffer<S>712</S> with the mice<S>5909</S> of gold<S>2091</S> and the images<S>6754</S> of their tumors<S>2914</S>.


text:
And the kine<S>6510</S> took the straight<S>3474</S> way<S>1870</S> by the way<S>1870</S> to Beth-shemesh<S>1053</S>; they went along<S>1980</S> the highway<S>4546</S>, lowing<S>1600</S> as they went<S>1980</S>, and turned not aside<S>5493</S> to the right hand<S>3225</S> or to the left<S>8040</S>; and the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went<S>1980</S> after<S>310</S> them unto the border<S>1366</S> of Beth-shemesh<S>1053</S>.


text:
And they of Beth-shemesh<S>1053</S> were reaping<S>7114</S> their wheat<S>2406</S> harvest<S>7105</S> in the valley<S>6010</S>; and they lifted up<S>5375</S> their eyes<S>5869</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> the ark<S>727</S>, and rejoiced<S>8055</S> to see it<S>7200</S>.


text:
And the cart<S>5699</S> came<S>935</S> into the field<S>7704</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S> the Beth-shemite<S>1030</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> there<S>1419</S>, where there was a great stone<S>68</S>: and they clave<S>1234</S> the wood<S>6086</S> of the cart<S>5699</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> up the kine<S>6510</S> for a burnt-offering<S>5930</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>.

And the Levites<S>3881</S> took down<S>3381</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and the coffer<S>712</S> that was with it<S>3627</S>, wherein the jewels of gold<S>2091</S> were<S>7760</S>, and put them on the great<S>1419</S> stone<S>68</S>: and the men<S>582</S> of Beth-shemesh<S>1053</S> offered<S>5927</S> burnt-offerings<S>5930</S> and sacrificed<S>5927</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> the same day<S>3117</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And when the five<S>2568</S> lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> had seen<S>7200</S> it<S>7725</S>, they returned to Ekron<S>6138</S> the same day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And these are the golden<S>2091</S> tumors<S>2914</S> which the Philistines<S>6430</S> returned<S>7725</S> for a trespass-offering<S>817</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>: for Ashdod<S>795</S> one<S>259</S>, for Gaza<S>5804</S> one<S>259</S>, for Ashkelon<S>831</S> one<S>259</S>, for Gath<S>1661</S> one<S>259</S>, for Ekron<S>6138</S> one<S>259</S>;


text:
and the golden<S>2091</S> mice<S>5909</S>, according to the number<S>4557</S> of all the cities<S>5892</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> belonging to the five<S>2568</S> lords<S>5633</S>, both of fortified<S>4013</S> cities<S>5892</S> and of country<S>6521</S> villages<S>3724</S>, even unto the great<S>1419</S> stone<S>59</S>, whereon they set down<S>3240</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, which stone remaineth unto this day<S>3117</S> in the field<S>7704</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S> the Beth-shemite<S>1030</S>.


text:
And he smote<S>5221</S> of the men<S>376</S> of Beth-shemesh<S>1053</S>, because they had looked<S>7200</S> into the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, he smote<S>5221</S> of the people<S>5971</S> seventy men<S>582</S>, and fifty<S>2572</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>582</S>; and the people<S>582</S> mourned<S>56</S>, because Jehovah<S>3068</S> had smitten<S>5221</S> the people<S>5971</S> with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> called<S>7121</S> for the priests<S>3548</S> and the diviners<S>7080</S>, saying<S>559</S>, What shall we do<S>6213</S> with the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>? show<S>3045</S> us wherewith we shall send<S>7971</S> it to its place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Beth-shemesh<S>1053</S> said<S>559</S>, Who is able<S>3201</S> to stand<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, this holy<S>6918</S> God<S>430</S>? and to whom shall he go up from us<S>5927</S>?


text:
And they sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Kiriath-jearim<S>7157</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The Philistines<S>6430</S> have brought back<S>7725</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; come ye down<S>3381</S>, and fetch it up to you<S>5927</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, If ye send away<S>7971</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, send<S>7971</S> it not empty<S>7387</S>; but by all means<S>7725</S> return<S>7725</S> him a trespass-offering<S>817</S>: then ye shall be healed<S>7495</S>, and it shall be known<S>3045</S> to you why his hand<S>3027</S> is not removed from you<S>5493</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> they<S>817</S>, What shall be the trespass-offering which we shall return<S>7725</S> to him<S>559</S>? And they said, Five<S>2568</S> golden<S>2091</S> tumors<S>2914</S>, and five<S>2568</S> golden<S>2091</S> mice<S>5909</S>, according to the number<S>4557</S> of the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>; for one<S>259</S> plague<S>4046</S> was on you all<S>5633</S>, and on your lords.


text:
Wherefore ye shall make<S>6213</S> images<S>6754</S> of your tumors<S>2914</S>, and images<S>6754</S> of your mice<S>5909</S> that mar<S>7843</S> the land<S>776</S>; and ye shall give<S>5414</S> glory<S>3519</S> unto the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: peradventure he will lighten<S>7043</S> his hand<S>3027</S> from off you<S>430</S>, and from off your gods, and from off your land<S>776</S>.


text:
Wherefore then do ye harden<S>3513</S> your hearts<S>3824</S>, as the Egyptians<S>4714</S> and Pharaoh<S>6547</S> hardened<S>3513</S> their hearts<S>3820</S>? When he had wrought wonderfully<S>5953</S> among them<S>7971</S>, did they not let the people go, and they departed<S>3212</S>?


text:
Now therefore take<S>3947</S> and prepare<S>6213</S> you a<S>259</S> new<S>2319</S> cart<S>5699</S>, and two<S>8147</S> milch<S>5763</S> kine<S>6510</S>, on which there hath come<S>5927</S> no yoke<S>5923</S>; and tie<S>631</S> the kine<S>6510</S> to the cart<S>5699</S>, and bring<S>7725</S> their calves<S>1121</S> home<S>1004</S> from them<S>310</S>;


text:
and take<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and lay<S>5414</S> it upon the cart<S>5699</S>; and put<S>7760</S> the jewels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, which ye return<S>7725</S> him for a trespass-offering<S>817</S>, in a coffer<S>712</S> by the side<S>6654</S> thereof<S>7971</S>; and send it away, that it may go<S>1980</S>.


text:
And see<S>7200</S>; if it goeth up<S>5927</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of its own border<S>1366</S> to Beth-shemesh<S>1053</S>, then he hath done<S>6213</S> us this great<S>1419</S> evil<S>7451</S>: but if not<S>3045</S>, then we shall know that it is not his hand<S>3027</S> that smote<S>5060</S> us<S>4745</S>; it was a chance that happened to us<S>1961</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Kiriath-jearim<S>7157</S> came<S>935</S>, and fetched up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it into the house<S>1004</S> of Abinadab<S>41</S> in the hill<S>1389</S>, and sanctified<S>6942</S> Eleazar<S>499</S> his son<S>1121</S> to keep<S>8104</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And as Samuel<S>8050</S> was offering up<S>5927</S> the burnt-offering<S>5930</S>, the Philistines<S>6430</S> drew near<S>5066</S> to battle<S>4421</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>; but Jehovah<S>3068</S> thundered<S>7481</S> with a great<S>1419</S> thunder<S>6963</S> on that day<S>3117</S> upon the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and discomfited<S>2000</S> them<S>5062</S>; and they were smitten down before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S> of Mizpah<S>4709</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> them<S>1033</S>, until they came under Beth-car.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> a<S>259</S> stone<S>68</S>, and set<S>7760</S> it between Mizpah<S>4709</S> and Shen<S>8129</S>, and called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of it Eben-ezer<S>72</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Hitherto hath Jehovah<S>3068</S> helped us<S>5826</S>.


text:
So the Philistines<S>6430</S> were subdued<S>3665</S>, and they came<S>935</S> no more<S>3254</S> within the border<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and the hand<S>3027</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was against the Philistines<S>6430</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S>.


text:
And the cities<S>5892</S> which the Philistines<S>6430</S> had taken<S>3947</S> from Israel<S>3478</S> were restored<S>7725</S> to Israel<S>3478</S>, from Ekron<S>6138</S> even unto Gath<S>1661</S>; and the border<S>1366</S> thereof did Israel<S>3478</S> deliver<S>5337</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>. And there was peace<S>7965</S> between Israel<S>3478</S> and the Amorites<S>567</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>.


text:
And he went<S>1980</S> from<S>1767</S> year<S>8141</S> to year<S>8141</S> in circuit<S>5437</S> to Beth-el<S>1008</S> and Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and Mizpah<S>4709</S>; and he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> in all those places<S>4725</S>.


text:
And his return<S>8666</S> was to Ramah<S>7414</S>, for there was his house<S>1004</S>; and there he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: and he built<S>1129</S> there an altar<S>4196</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3117</S>, from the day that the ark<S>727</S> abode<S>3427</S> in Kiriath-jearim<S>7157</S>, that the time<S>3117</S> was long<S>7235</S>; for it was twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>: and all the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> lamented<S>5091</S> after<S>310</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> spake<S>559</S> unto all the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, If ye do return<S>7725</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> with all your heart<S>3824</S>, then put away<S>5493</S> the foreign<S>5236</S> gods<S>430</S> and the Ashtaroth<S>6252</S> from among<S>8432</S> you<S>3559</S>, and direct your hearts<S>3824</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> him only<S>5337</S>; and he will deliver you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
Then the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did put away<S>5493</S> the Baalim<S>1168</S> and the Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>, and served<S>5647</S> Jehovah only<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, Gather<S>6908</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> to Mizpah<S>4708</S>, and I will pray<S>6419</S> for you unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And they gathered together<S>6908</S> to Mizpah<S>4709</S>, and drew<S>7579</S> water<S>4325</S>, and poured it out<S>8210</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S> on that day<S>3117</S>, and said<S>559</S> there<S>2398</S>, We have sinned against Jehovah<S>3068</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> judged<S>8199</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> in Mizpah<S>4708</S>.


text:
And when the Philistines<S>6430</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gathered together<S>6908</S> to Mizpah<S>4708</S>, the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went up<S>5927</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>. And when the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> it<S>3372</S>, they were afraid of<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, Cease<S>2790</S> not to cry<S>2199</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S> for us<S>3467</S>, that he will save us out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> a<S>259</S> sucking<S>2461</S> lamb<S>2924</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> it for a whole<S>3632</S> burnt-offering<S>5930</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>: and Samuel<S>8050</S> cried<S>2199</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> for Israel<S>3478</S>; and Jehovah<S>3068</S> answered him<S>6030</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>8050</S>, when Samuel was old<S>2204</S>, that he made<S>7760</S> his sons<S>1121</S> judges<S>8199</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> told<S>559</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> unto the people<S>5971</S> that asked<S>7592</S> of him a king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, This will be the manner<S>4941</S> of the king<S>4428</S> that shall reign<S>4427</S> over you<S>3947</S>: he will take your sons<S>1121</S>, and appoint<S>7760</S> them unto him<S>4818</S>, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen<S>6571</S>; and they shall run<S>7323</S> before<S>6440</S> his chariots<S>4818</S>;


text:
and he will appoint<S>7760</S> them unto him for captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S>, and captains<S>8269</S> of fifties<S>2572</S>; and he will set some to plow<S>2790</S> his ground<S>2758</S>, and to reap<S>7114</S> his harvest<S>7105</S>, and to make<S>6213</S> his instruments<S>3627</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and the instruments<S>3627</S> of his chariots<S>7393</S>.


text:
And he will take<S>3947</S> your daughters<S>1323</S> to be perfumers<S>7548</S>, and to be cooks<S>2879</S>, and to be bakers<S>644</S>.


text:
And he will take<S>3947</S> your fields<S>7704</S>, and your vineyards<S>3754</S>, and your oliveyards<S>2132</S>, even the best<S>2896</S> of them<S>5414</S>, and give them to his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
And he will take the tenth<S>6237</S> of your seed<S>2233</S>, and of your vineyards<S>3754</S>, and give<S>5414</S> to his officers<S>5631</S>, and to his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
And he will take<S>3947</S> your men-servants<S>5650</S>, and your maid-servants<S>8198</S>, and your goodliest<S>2896</S> young men<S>970</S>, and your asses<S>2543</S>, and put<S>6213</S> them to his work<S>4399</S>.


text:
He will take the tenth<S>6237</S> of your flocks<S>6629</S>: and ye shall be his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
And ye shall cry out<S>2199</S> in that day<S>3117</S> because<S>6440</S> of your king<S>4428</S> whom ye shall have chosen<S>977</S> you<S>3068</S>; and Jehovah will not answer<S>6030</S> you in that day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> refused<S>3985</S> to hearken<S>8085</S> unto the voice<S>6963</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S>; and they said<S>559</S>, Nay<S>4428</S>: but we will have a king over us,


text:
Now the name<S>8034</S> of his first-born<S>1121</S> was Joel<S>3100</S>; and the name<S>8034</S> of his second<S>4932</S>, Abijah<S>29</S>: they were judges<S>8199</S> in Beer-sheba<S>884</S>.


text:
that we also may be like all the nations<S>1471</S>, and that our king<S>4428</S> may judge<S>8199</S> us<S>3318</S>, and go out before<S>6440</S> us<S>3898</S>, and fight our battles<S>4421</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> heard<S>8085</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, and he rehearsed<S>1696</S> them in the ears<S>241</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, Hearken<S>8085</S> unto their voice<S>6963</S>, and make<S>4427</S> them a king<S>4428</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Go<S>3212</S> ye every man<S>582</S> unto his city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And his sons<S>1121</S> walked<S>1980</S> not in his ways<S>1870</S>, but turned aside<S>5186</S> after<S>310</S> lucre<S>1215</S>, and took<S>3947</S> bribes<S>7810</S>, and perverted<S>5186</S> justice<S>4941</S>.


text:
Then all the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S> unto Ramah<S>7414</S>;


text:
and they said<S>559</S> unto him<S>2204</S>, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons<S>1121</S> walk<S>1980</S> not in thy ways<S>1870</S>: now make<S>7760</S> us a king<S>4428</S> to judge<S>8199</S> us like all the nations<S>1471</S>.


text:
But the thing<S>1697</S> displeased<S>3415</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, when they said<S>559</S>, Give<S>5414</S> us a king<S>4428</S> to judge<S>8199</S> us<S>8050</S>. And Samuel prayed<S>6419</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, Hearken<S>8085</S> unto the voice<S>6963</S> of the people<S>5971</S> in all that they say<S>559</S> unto thee<S>3988</S>; for they have not rejected thee<S>3988</S>, but they have rejected me<S>4427</S>, that I should not be king over them.


text:
According to all the works<S>4639</S> which they have done<S>6213</S> since the day<S>3117</S> that I brought them up<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S> even unto this day<S>3117</S>, in that they have forsaken<S>5800</S> me<S>5647</S>, and served other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, so do they also unto thee<S>6213</S>.

Now therefore hearken<S>8085</S> unto their voice<S>6963</S>: howbeit<S>389</S> thou shalt protest<S>5749</S> solemnly<S>5749</S> unto them<S>5046</S>, and shalt show them the manner<S>4941</S> of the king<S>4428</S> that shall reign over them<S>4427</S>.


text:
Now there was a man<S>376</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Kish<S>7027</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Abiel<S>22</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Zeror<S>6872</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Becorath<S>1064</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Aphiah<S>647</S>, the son of a Benjamite<S>1145</S>, a mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>376</S> of valor<S>2428</S>.


text:
Then said<S>1697</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to his servant<S>5288</S>, Well<S>2896</S> said<S>559</S>; come<S>3212</S>, let us go<S>3212</S>. So they went<S>3212</S> unto the city<S>5892</S> where the man<S>376</S> of God was<S>430</S>.


text:
As they went up<S>5927</S> the ascent<S>5927</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, they found<S>4672</S> young maidens<S>5291</S> going out<S>3318</S> to draw<S>7579</S> water<S>4325</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3426</S>, Is the seer here<S>7200</S>?


text:
And they answered<S>6030</S> them<S>559</S>, and said, He is<S>3426</S>; behold<S>6440</S>, he is before thee<S>4116</S>: make haste now<S>935</S>, for he is come to-day<S>3117</S> into the city<S>5892</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> have a sacrifice<S>2077</S> to-day<S>3117</S> in the high place<S>1116</S>:


text:
as soon as ye are come<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, ye shall straightway<S>3651</S> find<S>4672</S> him<S>5927</S>, before he goeth up to the high place<S>1116</S> to eat<S>398</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> will not eat<S>398</S> until he come<S>935</S>, because he doth bless<S>1288</S> the sacrifice<S>2077</S>; and afterwards<S>310</S> they eat<S>398</S> that are bidden<S>7121</S>. Now therefore get you up<S>5927</S>; for at this time<S>3117</S> ye shall find him<S>4672</S>.


text:
And they went up<S>5927</S> to<S>7125</S> the city<S>5892</S>; and as they came<S>935</S> within the city<S>5892</S>, behold<S>8050</S>, Samuel came out<S>3318</S> toward<S>7125</S> them<S>5927</S>, to go up to the high place<S>1116</S>.


text:
Now Jehovah<S>3068</S> had revealed<S>1540</S> unto<S>241</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> a<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S> before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Tomorrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S> I will send<S>7971</S> thee a man<S>376</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and thou shalt anoint<S>4886</S> him to be prince<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and he shall save<S>3467</S> my people<S>5971</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: for I have looked<S>7200</S> upon my people<S>5971</S>, because their cry<S>6818</S> is come unto me<S>935</S>.


text:
And when Samuel<S>8050</S> saw<S>7200</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>6030</S> unto him<S>376</S>, Behold, the man of whom I spake<S>559</S> to thee<S>6113</S>! this same shall have authority over my people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> drew near<S>5066</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S> in<S>8432</S> the gate<S>8179</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Tell<S>5046</S> me<S>335</S>, I pray thee, where the seer<S>7200</S>'s house is<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> answered<S>6030</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I am the seer<S>7200</S>; go up<S>5927</S> before<S>6440</S> me unto the high place<S>1116</S>, for ye shall eat<S>398</S> with me to-day<S>3117</S>: and in the morning<S>1242</S> I will let thee go<S>7971</S>, and will tell<S>5046</S> thee all that is in thy heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
And he had a son<S>1121</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Saul<S>7586</S>, a young man<S>970</S> and a goodly<S>2896</S>: and there was not among the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> a goodlier<S>2896</S> person<S>376</S> than he<S>7926</S>: from his shoulders and upward<S>4605</S> he was higher<S>1364</S> than any of the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And as for thine asses<S>860</S> that were lost<S>6</S> three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S> ago<S>3117</S>, set<S>7760</S> not they mind<S>3820</S> on them<S>4672</S>; for they are found. And for whom is all that is desirable<S>2532</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>? Is it not for thee<S>1</S>, and for all thy father's house<S>1004</S>?


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Am not I a Benjamite<S>1145</S>, of the smallest<S>6996</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? and my family<S>4940</S> the least<S>6810</S> of all the families<S>4940</S> of the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>? wherefore then speakest<S>1696</S> thou to me after this manner<S>1697</S>?


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> Saul<S>7586</S> and his servant<S>5288</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them into the guest-chamber<S>3957</S>, and made them sit<S>5414</S> in the chiefest<S>7218</S> place<S>4725</S> among them that were bidden<S>7121</S>, who were about thirty<S>7970</S> persons<S>376</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto the cook<S>2876</S>, Bring<S>5414</S> the portion<S>4490</S> which I gave<S>5414</S> thee<S>559</S>, of which I said unto thee<S>7760</S>, Set it by thee.


text:
And the cook<S>2876</S> took up<S>7311</S> the thigh<S>7785</S>, and that which was upon it<S>7760</S>, and set it before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S>. And Samuel said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>7604</S>, that which hath been reserved! set<S>7760</S> it before<S>6440</S> thee and eat<S>398</S>; because unto the appointed time<S>4150</S> hath it been kept<S>8104</S> for thee<S>559</S>, for I said, I have invited<S>7121</S> the people<S>5971</S>. So Saul<S>7586</S> did eat<S>398</S> with Samuel<S>8050</S> that day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And when they were come down<S>3381</S> from the high place<S>1116</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, he communed<S>1696</S> with Saul<S>7586</S> upon the housetop<S>1406</S>.


text:
And they arose early<S>7925</S>: and it came to pass about the spring<S>5927</S> of the day<S>7837</S>, that Samuel<S>8050</S> called<S>7121</S> to Saul<S>7586</S> on the housetop<S>1406</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Up<S>6965</S>, that I may send thee away<S>7971</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and they went out<S>3318</S> both<S>8147</S> of them<S>8050</S>, he and Samuel, abroad<S>2351</S>.


text:
As they were going down<S>3381</S> at the end<S>7097</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, Bid<S>559</S> the servant<S>5288</S> pass on<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> us<S>5674</S> (and he passed on), but stand<S>5975</S> thou still first<S>3117</S>, that I may cause thee to hear<S>8085</S> the word<S>1697</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
And the asses<S>860</S> of Kish<S>7027</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s father<S>1</S>, were lost<S>6</S>. And Kish<S>7027</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S> his son<S>1121</S>, Take<S>3947</S> now one<S>259</S> of the servants<S>5288</S> with thee<S>6965</S>, and arise, go<S>3212</S> seek<S>1245</S> the asses<S>860</S>.


text:
And he passed through<S>5674</S> the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and passed through<S>5674</S> the land<S>776</S> of Shalishah<S>8031</S>, but they found<S>4672</S> them not<S>5674</S>: then they passed through the land<S>776</S> of Shaalim<S>8171</S>, and there they were not<S>5674</S>: and he passed through the land<S>776</S> of the Benjamites<S>1145</S>, but they found them not<S>4672</S>.


text:
When they were come<S>935</S> to the land<S>776</S> of Zuph<S>6689</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to his servant<S>5288</S> that was with him<S>3212</S>, Come, and let us return<S>7725</S>, lest my father<S>1</S> leave<S>2308</S> off caring for the asses<S>860</S>, and be anxious for us<S>1672</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5892</S>, Behold now, there is in this city a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and he is a man<S>376</S> that is held in honor<S>3513</S>; all that he saith<S>1696</S> cometh<S>935</S> surely to pass<S>935</S>: now let us go<S>3212</S> thither<S>5046</S>; peradventure he can tell us concerning our journey<S>1870</S> whereon we go<S>1980</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to his servant<S>5288</S>, But<S>3212</S>, behold, if we go, what shall we bring<S>935</S> the man<S>376</S>? for the bread<S>3899</S> is spent<S>235</S> in our vessels<S>3627</S>, and there is not a present<S>8670</S> to bring<S>935</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>: what have we?


text:
And the servant<S>5288</S> answered<S>6030</S> Saul<S>7586</S> again<S>3254</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>4672</S>, I have in my hand<S>3027</S> the fourth part<S>7253</S> of a shekel<S>8255</S> of silver<S>3701</S>: that will I give<S>5414</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, to tell<S>5046</S> us our way<S>1870</S>.


text:
(Beforetime<S>6440</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, when a man<S>376</S> went<S>3212</S> to inquire<S>1875</S> of God<S>430</S>, thus he said<S>559</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go<S>3212</S> to the seer<S>7200</S>; for he that is now<S>3117</S> called a Prophet<S>5030</S> was beforetime<S>6440</S> called<S>7121</S> a Seer<S>7200</S>.)


text:
And it came to pass after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, when David<S>1732</S> was returned<S>7725</S> from the slaughter<S>5221</S> of the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, and David<S>1732</S> had abode<S>3427</S> two<S>8147</S> days<S>3117</S> in Ziklag<S>6860</S>;


text:
So I stood<S>5975</S> beside him<S>4191</S>, and slew him<S>3045</S>, because I was sure that he could not live<S>2421</S> after<S>310</S> that he was fallen<S>5307</S>: and I took<S>3947</S> the crown<S>5145</S> that was upon his head<S>7218</S>, and the bracelet<S>685</S> that was on his arm<S>2220</S>, and have brought<S>935</S> them hither unto my lord<S>113</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> took hold<S>2388</S> on his clothes<S>899</S>, and rent<S>7167</S> them<S>582</S>; and likewise all the men that were with him:


text:
and they mourned<S>5594</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S> until even<S>6153</S>, for Saul<S>7586</S>, and for Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S>, and for the people<S>5971</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and for the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; because they were fallen<S>5307</S> by the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto the young man<S>5288</S> that told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son<S>1121</S> of a sojourner<S>376</S>, an Amalekite<S>6003</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3372</S>, How wast thou not afraid to put forth<S>7971</S> thy hand<S>3027</S> to destroy<S>7843</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> called<S>7121</S> one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Go near<S>5066</S>, and fall<S>6293</S> upon him<S>5221</S>. And he smote him<S>4191</S>, so that he died.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1818</S>, Thy blood be upon thy head<S>7218</S>; for thy mouth<S>6310</S> hath testified<S>6030</S> against thee<S>559</S>, saying, I have slain<S>4191</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> lamented<S>6969</S> with this lamentation<S>7015</S> over Saul<S>7586</S> and over Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S>


text:
(and he bade<S>559</S> them teach<S>3925</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> the song of the bow<S>7198</S>: behold<S>3789</S>, it is written in the book<S>5612</S> of Jashar<S>3477</S>):


text:
Thy glory<S>6643</S>, O Israel<S>3478</S>, is slain<S>2491</S> upon thy high places<S>1116</S>! How are the mighty<S>1368</S> fallen<S>5307</S>!


text:
it came to pass on the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>, that<S>376</S>, behold, a man came<S>935</S> out of the camp<S>4264</S> from Saul<S>7586</S>, with his clothes<S>899</S> rent<S>7167</S>, and earth<S>127</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>: and so it was<S>935</S>, when he came to David<S>1732</S>, that he fell<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and did obeisance<S>7812</S>.


text:
Tell<S>5046</S> it not in Gath<S>1661</S>, Publish<S>1319</S> it not in the streets<S>2351</S> of Ashkelon<S>831</S>; Lest the daughters<S>1323</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> rejoice<S>8055</S>, Lest the daughters<S>1323</S> of the uncircumcised<S>6189</S> triumph<S>5937</S>.


text:
Ye mountains<S>2022</S> of Gilboa<S>1533</S>, Let there be no dew<S>2919</S> nor rain<S>4306</S> upon you<S>7704</S>, neither fields of offerings<S>8641</S>: For there the shield<S>4043</S> of the mighty<S>1368</S> was vilely cast away<S>1602</S>, The shield<S>4043</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, not anointed<S>4899</S> with oil<S>8081</S>.


text:
From the blood<S>1818</S> of the slain<S>2491</S>, from the fat<S>2459</S> of the mighty<S>1368</S>, The bow<S>7198</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> turned<S>7734</S> not back<S>268</S>, And the sword<S>2719</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> returned<S>7725</S> not empty<S>7387</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> were lovely<S>157</S> and pleasant<S>5273</S> in their lives<S>2416</S>, And in their death<S>4194</S> they were not divided<S>6504</S>: They were swifter<S>7043</S> than eagles<S>5404</S>, They were stronger<S>1396</S> than lions<S>738</S>.


text:
Ye daughters<S>1323</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, weep over<S>1058</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, Who clothed<S>3847</S> you in scarlet<S>8144</S> delicately<S>5730</S>, Who put<S>5927</S> ornaments<S>5716</S> of gold<S>2091</S> upon your apparel<S>3830</S>.


text:
How are the mighty<S>1368</S> fallen<S>5307</S> in the midst<S>8432</S> of the battle<S>4421</S>! Jonathan<S>3083</S> is slain<S>2491</S> upon thy high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
I am distressed<S>6887</S> for thee<S>251</S>, my brother Jonathan<S>3083</S>: Very<S>3966</S> pleasant<S>5276</S> hast thou been unto me<S>160</S>: Thy love to me was wonderful<S>6381</S>, Passing the love<S>160</S> of women<S>802</S>.


text:
How are the mighty<S>1368</S> fallen<S>5307</S>, And the weapons<S>3627</S> of war<S>4421</S> perished<S>6</S>!


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>935</S>, From whence comest thou<S>559</S>? And he said unto him<S>4264</S>, Out of the camp of Israel<S>3478</S> am I escaped<S>4422</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4100</S>, How went the matter<S>1697</S>? I pray thee<S>5046</S>, tell me<S>559</S>. And he answered, The people<S>5971</S> are fled<S>5127</S> from the battle<S>4421</S>, and many<S>7235</S> of the people<S>5971</S> also are fallen<S>5307</S> and dead<S>4191</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S> are dead also<S>4191</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto the young man<S>5288</S> that told<S>5046</S> him<S>3045</S>, How knowest thou that Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S> are dead<S>4191</S>?


text:
And the young man<S>5288</S> that told<S>5046</S> him said<S>559</S>, As I happened<S>7136</S> by chance<S>7122</S> upon mount<S>2022</S> Gilboa<S>1533</S>, behold<S>7586</S>, Saul was leaning<S>8172</S> upon his spear<S>2595</S>; and<S>7393</S>, lo, the chariots and the horsemen<S>1167</S> followed hard after him<S>1692</S>.


text:
And when he looked<S>6437</S> behind<S>310</S> him<S>7200</S>, he saw me<S>7121</S>, and called unto me<S>559</S>. And I answered, Here am I.

And he said<S>559</S> unto me<S>559</S>, Who art thou? And I answered him<S>6003</S>, I am an Amalekite.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto me<S>5975</S>, Stand, I pray thee<S>4191</S>, beside me, and slay me<S>7661</S>; for anguish hath taken<S>270</S> hold of me<S>5315</S>, because my life is yet whole in me.


text:
And it came to pass after this<S>310</S>, that the king<S>4428</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> died<S>4191</S>, and Hanun<S>2586</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> he committed<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Abishai<S>52</S> his brother<S>251</S>; and he put them in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, If the Syrians<S>758</S> be too strong<S>2388</S> for me<S>3444</S>, then thou shalt help me<S>1121</S>; but if the children of Ammon<S>5983</S> be too strong<S>2388</S> for thee<S>1980</S>, then I will come and help thee<S>3467</S>.


text:
Be of good courage<S>2388</S>, and let us play the man<S>2388</S> for our people<S>5971</S>, and for the cities<S>5892</S> of our God<S>430</S>: and Jehovah<S>3068</S> do<S>6213</S> that which seemeth<S>5869</S> him good<S>2896</S>.


text:
So Joab<S>3097</S> and the people<S>5971</S> that were with him drew nigh<S>5066</S> unto the battle<S>4421</S> against the Syrians<S>758</S>: and they fled<S>5127</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And when the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the Syrians<S>758</S> were fled<S>5127</S>, they likewise fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> Abishai<S>52</S>, and entered<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>. Then Joab<S>3097</S> returned<S>7725</S> from the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And when the Syrians<S>758</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were put to the worse<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, they gathered<S>622</S> themselves together<S>3162</S>.


text:
And Hadarezer<S>1928</S> sent<S>7971</S>, and brought out<S>3318</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> that were beyond<S>5676</S> the River<S>5104</S>: and they came<S>935</S> to Helam<S>2431</S>, with Shobach<S>7731</S> the captain<S>8269</S> of the host<S>6635</S> of Hadarezer<S>1928</S> at their head<S>6440</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>; and he gathered<S>622</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> together<S>622</S>, and passed over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Helam<S>2431</S>. And the Syrians<S>758</S> set themselves in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> David<S>1732</S>, and fought with him<S>3898</S>.


text:
And the Syrians<S>758</S> fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and David<S>1732</S> slew<S>2026</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S> the men of seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>7393</S>, and forty<S>705</S> thousand<S>505</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> Shobach<S>7731</S> the captain<S>8269</S> of their host<S>6635</S>, so that he died there<S>4191</S>.


text:
And when all the kings<S>4428</S> that were servants<S>5650</S> to Hadarezer<S>1928</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were put to the worse<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, they made peace<S>7999</S> with Israel<S>3478</S>, and served<S>5647</S> them<S>758</S>. So the Syrians feared<S>3372</S> to help<S>3467</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon any more<S>5983</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, I will show<S>6213</S> kindness<S>2617</S> unto Hanun<S>2586</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nahash<S>5176</S>, as his father<S>1</S> showed<S>6213</S> kindness<S>2617</S> unto me<S>1732</S>. So David sent<S>7971</S> by<S>3027</S> his servants<S>5650</S> to comfort<S>5162</S> him concerning his father<S>1</S>. And David<S>1732</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> came<S>935</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
But the princes<S>8269</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> said<S>559</S> unto Hanun<S>2586</S> their lord<S>113</S>, Thinkest<S>5869</S> thou that David<S>1732</S> doth honor<S>3513</S> thy father<S>1</S>, in that he hath sent<S>7971</S> comforters<S>5162</S> unto thee<S>1732</S>? hath not David sent<S>7971</S> his servants<S>5650</S> unto thee to<S>5668</S> search<S>2713</S> the city<S>5892</S>, and to spy it out<S>7270</S>, and to overthrow it<S>2015</S>?


text:
So Hanun<S>2586</S> took<S>3947</S> David<S>1732</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, and shaved off<S>1548</S> the one half<S>2677</S> of their beards<S>2206</S>, and cut off<S>3772</S> their garments<S>4063</S> in the middle<S>2677</S>, even to their buttocks<S>8357</S>, and sent them away<S>7971</S>.


text:
When they told<S>5046</S> it unto David<S>1732</S>, he sent<S>7971</S> to meet<S>7125</S> them<S>582</S>; for the men were greatly<S>3966</S> ashamed<S>3637</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Tarry<S>3427</S> at Jericho<S>3405</S> until your beards<S>2206</S> be grown<S>6779</S>, and then return<S>7725</S>.


text:
And when the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were become odious<S>887</S> to David<S>1732</S>, the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> sent<S>7971</S> and hired<S>7936</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> of Beth-rehob<S>1050</S>, and the Syrians<S>758</S> of Zobah<S>6678</S>, twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> of Maacah<S>4601</S> with a thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>, and the men<S>376</S> of Tob twelve<S>6240</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>7971</S>, he sent Joab<S>3097</S>, and all the host<S>6635</S> of the mighty men<S>1368</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> came out<S>3318</S>, and put the battle<S>4421</S> in<S>6607</S> array<S>6186</S> at the entrance<S>8179</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>: and the Syrians<S>758</S> of Zobah<S>6678</S> and of Rehob<S>7340</S>, and the men of Tob and Maacah<S>4601</S>, were by themselves<S>905</S> in the field<S>7704</S>.


text:
Now when Joab<S>3097</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the battle<S>4421</S> was set<S>6440</S> against him before<S>6440</S> and behind<S>268</S>, he chose<S>977</S> of all the choice<S>977</S> men of Israel<S>3478</S>, and put them in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> the Syrians<S>758</S>:


text:
And it came to pass<S>8666</S>, at the return of the year<S>8141</S>, at the time<S>6256</S> when kings<S>4428</S> go out<S>3318</S> to battle<S>1732</S>, that David sent<S>7971</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, and his servants<S>5650</S> with him<S>3478</S>, and all Israel; and they destroyed<S>7843</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and besieged<S>6696</S> Rabbah<S>7237</S>. But David<S>1732</S> tarried<S>3427</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And when they had told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Uriah<S>223</S> went not down<S>3381</S> unto his house<S>1004</S>, David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Uriah<S>223</S>, Art thou not come<S>935</S> from a journey<S>1870</S>? wherefore didst thou not go down<S>3381</S> unto thy house<S>1004</S>?


text:
And Uriah<S>223</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, The ark<S>727</S>, and Israel<S>3478</S>, and Judah<S>3063</S>, abide<S>3427</S> in booths<S>5521</S>; and my lord<S>113</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, and the servants<S>5650</S> of my lord<S>113</S>, are encamped<S>2583</S> in the open<S>6440</S> field<S>7704</S>; shall I<S>589</S> then go<S>935</S> into my house<S>1004</S>, to eat<S>398</S> and to drink<S>8354</S>, and to lie<S>7901</S> with my wife<S>802</S>? as thou livest<S>2416</S>, and as thy soul<S>5315</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, I will not do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Uriah<S>223</S>, Tarry<S>3427</S> here to-day<S>3117</S> also<S>4279</S>, and to-morrow I will let thee depart<S>7971</S>. So Uriah<S>223</S> abode<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> that day<S>3117</S>, and the morrow<S>4283</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> had called<S>7121</S> him<S>398</S>, he did eat and drink<S>8354</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>7937</S>; and he made him drunk: and at even<S>6153</S> he went out<S>3318</S> to lie<S>7901</S> on his bed<S>4904</S> with the servants<S>5650</S> of his lord<S>113</S>, but went not down<S>3381</S> to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the morning<S>1242</S>, that David<S>1732</S> wrote<S>3789</S> a letter<S>5612</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> it by the hand<S>3027</S> of Uriah<S>223</S>.


text:
And he wrote<S>3789</S> in the letter<S>5612</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Set<S>3051</S> ye Uriah<S>223</S> in the forefront<S>6440</S> of the hottest<S>2389</S> battle<S>4421</S>, and retire<S>7725</S> ye from him<S>310</S>, that he may be smitten<S>5221</S>, and die<S>4191</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3097</S>, when Joab kept watch<S>8104</S> upon the city<S>5892</S>, that he assigned<S>5414</S> Uriah<S>223</S> unto the place<S>4725</S> where he knew<S>3045</S> that valiant<S>2428</S> men were<S>582</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with Joab<S>3097</S>: and there fell<S>5307</S> some of the people<S>5971</S>, even of the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>; and Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> died also<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> and told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> all the things<S>1697</S> concerning the war<S>4421</S>;


text:
and he charged<S>6680</S> the messenger<S>4397</S>, saying<S>559</S>, When thou hast made an end<S>3615</S> of telling<S>1696</S> all the things<S>1697</S> concerning the war<S>4421</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>,


text:
And it came to pass at eventide<S>6153</S>, that David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S> from off his bed<S>4904</S>, and walked<S>1980</S> upon the roof<S>1406</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>: and from the roof<S>1406</S> he saw<S>7200</S> a woman<S>802</S> bathing<S>7364</S>; and the woman<S>802</S> was very<S>3966</S> beautiful<S>2896</S> to look upon<S>4758</S>.


text:
it shall be that<S>4428</S>, if the king's wrath<S>2534</S> arise<S>5927</S>, and he say<S>559</S> unto thee<S>5066</S>, Wherefore went ye so nigh unto the city<S>5892</S> to fight<S>3898</S>? knew<S>3045</S> ye not that they would shoot<S>3384</S> from the wall<S>2346</S>?


text:
who smote<S>5221</S> Abimelech<S>40</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jerubbesheth<S>3380</S>? did not a woman<S>802</S> cast<S>7993</S> an upper<S>6400</S> millstone<S>7393</S> upon him from the wall<S>2346</S>, so that he died<S>4191</S> at Thebez<S>8405</S>? why went ye so nigh<S>5066</S> the wall<S>2346</S>? then shalt thou say<S>559</S>, Thy servant<S>5650</S> Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> is dead also<S>4191</S>.


text:
So the messenger<S>4397</S> went<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> and showed<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> all that Joab<S>3097</S> had sent him for<S>7971</S>.


text:
And the messenger<S>4397</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, The men<S>582</S> prevailed<S>1396</S> against us<S>3318</S>, and came out unto us into the field<S>7704</S>, and we were upon them even unto the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>.


text:
And the shooters<S>3384</S> shot<S>3384</S> at thy servants<S>5650</S> from off the wall<S>2346</S>; and some of the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> are dead<S>4191</S>, and thy servant<S>5650</S> Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> is dead also<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto the messenger<S>4397</S>, Thus shalt thou say<S>559</S> unto Joab<S>3097</S>, Let not this thing<S>1697</S> displease<S>3415</S> thee<S>2719</S>, for the sword devoureth<S>398</S> one as well as another<S>2090</S>; make thy battle<S>4421</S> more strong<S>2388</S> against the city<S>5892</S>, and overthrow<S>2040</S> it<S>2388</S>: and encourage thou him.


text:
And when the wife<S>802</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> heard<S>8085</S> that Uriah<S>223</S> her husband<S>376</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, she made lamentation<S>5594</S> for her husband<S>1167</S>.


text:
And when the mourning<S>60</S> was past<S>5674</S>, David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> and took<S>622</S> her home to his house<S>1004</S>, and she became his wife<S>802</S>, and bare<S>3205</S> him a son<S>1121</S>. But the thing<S>1697</S> that David<S>1732</S> had done<S>6213</S> displeased<S>3415</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> and inquired<S>1875</S> after the woman<S>802</S>. And one said<S>559</S>, Is not this Bath-sheba<S>1339</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Eliam<S>463</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S>, and took<S>3947</S> her<S>935</S>; and she came in unto him<S>7901</S>, and he lay with her<S>6942</S> (for she was purified from her uncleanness<S>2932</S>); and she returned<S>7725</S> unto her house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> conceived<S>2029</S>; and she sent<S>7971</S> and told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>5046</S>, I am with child<S>2030</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, saying<S>7971</S>, Send me Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S>. And Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> Uriah<S>223</S> to David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And when Uriah<S>223</S> was come<S>935</S> unto him<S>1732</S>, David asked<S>7592</S> of him how Joab<S>3097</S> did<S>7965</S>, and how the people<S>5971</S> fared<S>7965</S>, and how the war<S>4421</S> prospered<S>7965</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Uriah<S>223</S>, Go down<S>3381</S> to thy house<S>1004</S>, and wash<S>7364</S> thy feet<S>7272</S>. And Uriah<S>223</S> departed out<S>3318</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and there followed<S>310</S> him a mess<S>4864</S> of food from the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
But Uriah<S>223</S> slept<S>7901</S> at the door<S>6607</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S> with all the servants<S>5650</S> of his lord<S>113</S>, and went not down<S>3381</S> to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> Nathan<S>5416</S> unto David<S>1732</S>. And he came<S>935</S> unto him<S>559</S>, and said unto him<S>8147</S>, There were two men<S>582</S> in one<S>259</S> city<S>5892</S>; the one<S>259</S> rich<S>6223</S>, and the other<S>259</S> poor<S>7326</S>.


text:
Now therefore the sword<S>2719</S> shall never<S>5704</S> depart<S>5493</S> from thy house<S>1004</S>, because<S>6118</S> thou hast despised<S>959</S> me<S>3947</S>, and hast taken the wife<S>802</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> to be thy wife<S>802</S>.


text:
Thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Behold<S>6965</S>, I will raise up evil<S>7451</S> against thee out of thine own house<S>1004</S>; and I will take<S>3947</S> thy wives<S>802</S> before thine eyes<S>5869</S>, and give<S>5414</S> them unto thy neighbor<S>7453</S>, and he shall lie<S>7901</S> with thy wives<S>802</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of this sun<S>8121</S>.

For thou didst<S>6213</S> it secretly<S>5643</S>: but I will do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S> before all Israel<S>3478</S>, and before the sun<S>8121</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Nathan<S>5416</S>, I have sinned<S>2398</S> against Jehovah<S>3068</S>. And Nathan<S>5416</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> also hath put away<S>5674</S> thy sin<S>2403</S>; thou shalt not die<S>4191</S>.


text:
Howbeit<S>657</S>, because by this deed<S>1697</S> thou hast given<S>5006</S> great occasion<S>5006</S> to the enemies<S>341</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> to blaspheme<S>5006</S>, the child<S>1121</S> also that is born<S>3209</S> unto thee shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Nathan<S>5416</S> departed<S>3212</S> unto his house<S>1004</S>. And Jehovah<S>3068</S> struck<S>5062</S> the child<S>3206</S> that Uriah<S>223</S>'s wife<S>802</S> bare<S>3205</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, and it was very sick<S>605</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> therefore besought<S>1245</S> God<S>430</S> for the child<S>5288</S>; and David<S>1732</S> fasted<S>6684</S>, and went in<S>935</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> all night<S>3885</S> upon the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
And the elders<S>2205</S> of his house<S>1004</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and stood beside him<S>6965</S>, to raise him up from the earth<S>776</S>: but he would<S>14</S> not<S>1262</S>, neither did he eat bread with them<S>3899</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the seventh<S>7637</S> day<S>3117</S>, that the child<S>3206</S> died<S>4191</S>. And the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S> feared<S>3372</S> to tell<S>5046</S> him that the child<S>3206</S> was dead<S>4191</S>; for they said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>3206</S>, while the child was yet alive<S>2416</S>, we spake<S>1696</S> unto him<S>8085</S>, and he hearkened not unto our voice<S>6963</S>: how will he then<S>6213</S> vex<S>7451</S> himself<S>6213</S>, if we tell<S>559</S> him that the child<S>3206</S> is dead<S>4191</S>!


text:
But when David<S>1732</S> saw<S>7200</S> that his servants<S>5650</S> were whispering<S>3907</S> together<S>1732</S>, David perceived<S>995</S> that the child<S>3206</S> was dead<S>4191</S>; and David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, Is the child<S>3206</S> dead<S>4191</S>? And they said<S>559</S>, He is dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
The rich<S>6223</S> man had exceeding<S>3966</S> many<S>7235</S> flocks<S>6629</S> and herds<S>1241</S>;


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S> from the earth<S>776</S>, and washed<S>7364</S>, and anointed<S>5480</S> himself<S>2498</S>, and changed his apparel<S>8071</S>; and he came<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and worshipped<S>7812</S>: then he came<S>935</S> to his own house<S>1004</S>; and when he required<S>7592</S>, they set<S>7760</S> bread<S>3899</S> before him<S>398</S>, and he did eat.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> his servants<S>5650</S> unto him<S>1697</S>, What thing is this that thou hast done<S>6213</S>? thou didst fast<S>6684</S> and weep<S>1058</S> for the child<S>3206</S>, while it was alive<S>2416</S>; but when the child<S>3206</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, thou didst rise<S>6965</S> and eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, While the child<S>3206</S> was yet alive<S>2416</S>, I fasted<S>6684</S> and wept<S>1058</S>: for I said<S>559</S>, Who knoweth<S>3045</S> whether Jehovah<S>3068</S> will not be gracious<S>2603</S> to me<S>3206</S>, that the child may live<S>2416</S>?


text:
But now he is dead<S>4191</S>, wherefore should I fast<S>6684</S>? can<S>3201</S> I bring him back again<S>7725</S>? I shall go<S>1980</S> to him<S>7725</S>, but he will not return to me.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> comforted<S>5162</S> Bath-sheba<S>1339</S> his wife<S>802</S>, and went in<S>935</S> unto her<S>7901</S>, and lay with her<S>3205</S>: and she bare a son<S>1121</S>, and he called<S>7121</S> his name<S>8034</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>. And Jehovah<S>3068</S> loved him<S>157</S>;


text:
and he sent<S>7971</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>; and he called<S>7121</S> his name<S>8034</S> Jedidiah<S>3041</S>, for Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s sake.


text:
Now Joab<S>3097</S> fought<S>3898</S> against Rabbah<S>7237</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and took<S>3920</S> the royal<S>4410</S> city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I have fought<S>3898</S> against Rabbah<S>7237</S>; yea<S>3920</S>, I have taken the city<S>5892</S> of waters<S>4325</S>.


text:
Now therefore gather<S>622</S> the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> together<S>622</S>, and encamp<S>2583</S> against the city<S>5892</S>, and take<S>3920</S> it<S>3920</S>; lest I take the city<S>5892</S>, and it be called<S>7121</S> after my name<S>8034</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> gathered<S>622</S> all the people<S>5971</S> together<S>622</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Rabbah<S>7237</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> against it<S>3920</S>, and took it.


text:
but the poor<S>7326</S> man had nothing<S>259</S>, save one little<S>6996</S> ewe lamb<S>3535</S>, which he had bought<S>7069</S> and nourished up<S>2421</S>: and it grew up<S>1431</S> together<S>3162</S> with him<S>1121</S>, and with his children; it did eat<S>398</S> of his own morsel<S>6595</S>, and drank<S>8354</S> of his own cup<S>3563</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> in his bosom<S>2436</S>, and was unto him as a daughter<S>1323</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> the crown<S>5850</S> of their king<S>4428</S> from off his head<S>7218</S>; and the weight<S>4948</S> thereof was a talent<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and in it were precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>; and it was set on David<S>1732</S>'s head<S>7218</S>. And he brought forth<S>3318</S> the spoil<S>7998</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, exceeding<S>3966</S> much<S>7235</S>.


text:
And he brought forth<S>3318</S> the people<S>5971</S> that were therein<S>7760</S>, and put them under saws<S>4050</S>, and under harrows<S>2757</S> of iron<S>1270</S>, and under axes<S>4037</S> of iron<S>1270</S>, and made them pass<S>5674</S> through the brickkiln<S>4404</S>: and thus did<S>6213</S> he unto all the cities<S>5892</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>. And David<S>1732</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> returned<S>7725</S> unto Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And there came<S>935</S> a traveller<S>1982</S> unto the rich<S>6223</S> man<S>376</S>, and he spared<S>2550</S> to take<S>3947</S> of his own flock<S>6629</S> and of his own herd<S>1241</S>, to dress<S>6213</S> for the wayfaring man<S>732</S> that was come<S>935</S> unto him<S>3947</S>, but took the poor<S>7326</S> man<S>376</S>'s lamb<S>3535</S>, and dressed<S>6213</S> it for the man<S>376</S> that was come to him<S>935</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S>'s anger<S>639</S> was greatly<S>3966</S> kindled<S>2734</S> against the man<S>376</S>; and he said<S>559</S> to Nathan<S>5416</S>, As Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, the man<S>376</S> that hath done<S>6213</S> this is worthy<S>1121</S> to die<S>4194</S>:


text:
and he shall restore<S>7999</S> the lamb<S>3535</S> fourfold<S>706</S>, because<S>6118</S> he did<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>, and because<S>834</S> he had no pity<S>2550</S>.


text:
And Nathan<S>5416</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Thou art the man<S>376</S>. Thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, I anointed<S>4886</S> thee king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, and I delivered<S>5337</S> thee out of the hand<S>3027</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>;


text:
and I gave<S>5414</S> thee thy master<S>113</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and thy master<S>113</S>'s wives<S>802</S> into thy bosom<S>2436</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> thee the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and of Judah<S>3063</S>; and if that had been too little<S>4592</S>, I would have added<S>3254</S> unto thee such<S>2007</S> and such things<S>2007</S>.


text:
Wherefore hast thou despised<S>959</S> the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, to do<S>6213</S> that which is evil<S>7451</S> in his sight<S>5869</S>? thou hast smitten<S>5221</S> Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>, and hast taken<S>3947</S> his wife<S>802</S> to be thy wife<S>802</S>, and hast slain<S>2026</S> him with the sword<S>2719</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after<S>310</S> this<S>53</S>, that Absalom the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S> had a fair<S>3303</S> sister<S>269</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Tamar<S>8559</S>; and Amnon<S>550</S> the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S> loved her<S>157</S>.


text:
And Amnon<S>550</S> said<S>559</S> unto Tamar<S>8559</S>, Bring<S>935</S> the food<S>1279</S> into the chamber<S>2315</S>, that I may eat<S>1262</S> from thy hand<S>3027</S>. And Tamar<S>8559</S> took<S>3947</S> the cakes<S>3834</S> which she had made<S>6213</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them into the chamber<S>2315</S> to Amnon<S>550</S> her brother<S>251</S>.


text:
And when she had brought<S>5066</S> them near unto him to eat<S>398</S>, he took hold<S>2388</S> of her<S>559</S>, and said unto her<S>935</S>, Come, lie<S>7901</S> with me<S>269</S>, my sister.


text:
And she answered<S>559</S> him<S>251</S>, Nay, my brother, do not force<S>6031</S> me<S>3651</S>; for no such thing ought to be done<S>6213</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>: do<S>6213</S> not thou this folly<S>5039</S>.


text:
And I<S>3212</S>, whither shall I carry my shame<S>2781</S>? and as for thee<S>259</S>, thou wilt be as one of the fools<S>5036</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>. Now therefore<S>1696</S>, I pray thee, speak unto the king<S>4428</S>; for he will not withhold me from thee<S>4513</S>.


text:
Howbeit he would<S>14</S> not hearken<S>8085</S> unto her voice<S>6963</S>; but being stronger<S>2388</S> than she<S>6031</S>, he forced her<S>7901</S>, and lay with her.


text:
Then Amnon<S>550</S> hated<S>8130</S> her with exceeding great hatred<S>8135</S>; for the hatred<S>8135</S> wherewith he hated<S>8130</S> her was greater<S>1419</S> than the love<S>160</S> wherewith he had loved<S>160</S> her<S>550</S>. And Amnon said<S>559</S> unto her<S>6965</S>, Arise, be gone<S>3212</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto him<S>182</S>, Not so, because this great wrong<S>7451</S> in putting me forth<S>7971</S> is worse<S>1419</S> than the other<S>312</S> that thou didst<S>6213</S> unto me<S>14</S>. But he would not hearken unto her<S>8085</S>.


text:
Then he called<S>7121</S> his servant<S>5288</S> that ministered<S>8334</S> unto him<S>559</S>, and said, Put<S>7971</S> now this woman out<S>2351</S> from me<S>5274</S>, and bolt the door<S>1817</S> after her<S>310</S>.


text:
And she had a garment<S>3801</S> of divers colors<S>6446</S> upon her<S>4598</S>; for with such robes were the king<S>4428</S>'s daughters<S>1323</S> that were virgins<S>1330</S> apparelled<S>3847</S>. Then his servant<S>8334</S> brought<S>3318</S> her out<S>2351</S>, and bolted<S>5274</S> the door<S>1817</S> after her<S>310</S>.


text:
And Tamar<S>8559</S> put<S>3947</S> ashes<S>665</S> on her head<S>7218</S>, and rent<S>7167</S> her garment<S>3801</S> of divers colors<S>6446</S> that was on her<S>7760</S>; and she laid her hand<S>3027</S> on<S>1980</S> her head<S>7218</S>, and went<S>3212</S> her way<S>2199</S>, crying aloud as she went.


text:
And Amnon<S>550</S> was so vexed<S>3334</S> that he fell sick<S>2470</S> because of his sister<S>269</S> Tamar<S>8559</S>; for she was a virgin<S>1330</S>; and it seemed<S>5869</S> hard<S>6381</S> to Amnon<S>550</S> to do<S>6213</S> anything unto her<S>3972</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> her brother<S>251</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>550</S>, Hath Amnon thy brother<S>251</S> been with thee<S>2790</S>? but now hold thy peace, my sister<S>269</S>: he is thy brother<S>251</S>; take<S>7896</S> not this thing<S>1697</S> to heart<S>8559</S>. So Tamar remained<S>3427</S> desolate<S>8074</S> in her brother<S>251</S> Absalom<S>53</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
But when king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> heard<S>8085</S> of all these things<S>1697</S>, he was very<S>3966</S> wroth<S>2734</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> spake<S>1696</S> unto Amnon<S>550</S> neither good<S>2896</S> nor bad<S>7451</S>; for Absalom<S>53</S> hated<S>8130</S> Amnon<S>550</S>, because<S>1697</S> he had forced<S>6031</S> his sister<S>269</S> Tamar<S>8559</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after two full<S>3117</S> years<S>8141</S>, that Absalom<S>53</S> had sheep-shearers<S>1494</S> in Baal-hazor<S>1178</S>, which is beside Ephraim<S>669</S>: and Absalom<S>53</S> invited<S>7121</S> all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold now<S>5650</S>, thy servant hath sheep-shearers<S>1494</S>; let<S>3212</S> the king<S>4428</S>, I pray thee<S>5650</S>, and his servants go<S>3212</S> with thy servant<S>5650</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>, Nay<S>1121</S>, my son, let us not all go<S>3212</S>, lest we be burdensome<S>3513</S> unto thee<S>6555</S>. And he pressed him<S>14</S>: howbeit he would not go<S>3212</S>, but blessed him<S>1288</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, If not<S>251</S>, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon<S>550</S> go<S>3212</S> with us<S>4428</S>. And the king said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Why should he go with thee?


text:
But Absalom<S>53</S> pressed<S>6555</S> him<S>550</S>, and he let Amnon and all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> go with him<S>7971</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> commanded<S>6680</S> his servants<S>5288</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Mark<S>7200</S> ye now<S>550</S>, when Amnon's heart<S>3820</S> is merry<S>2896</S> with wine<S>3196</S>; and when I say<S>559</S> unto you<S>5221</S>, Smite Amnon<S>550</S>, then kill<S>4191</S> him<S>3372</S>; fear not<S>6680</S>; have not I commanded you<S>2388</S>? be courageous, and be valiant<S>1121</S>.


text:
And the servants<S>5288</S> of Absalom<S>53</S> did<S>6213</S> unto Amnon<S>550</S> as Absalom<S>53</S> had commanded<S>6680</S>. Then all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and every man<S>376</S> gat him up<S>7392</S> upon his mule<S>6505</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
But Amnon<S>550</S> had a friend<S>7453</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Jonadab<S>3122</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Shimeah<S>8093</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s brother<S>251</S>; and Jonadab<S>3122</S> was a very<S>3966</S> subtle<S>2450</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1870</S>, while they were in the way, that the tidings<S>8052</S> came<S>935</S> to David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Absalom<S>53</S> hath slain<S>5221</S> all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, and there is not one<S>259</S> of them left<S>3498</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and rent<S>7167</S> his garments<S>899</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> on the earth<S>776</S>; and all his servants<S>5650</S> stood<S>5324</S> by with their clothes<S>899</S> rent<S>7167</S>.

And Jonadab<S>3122</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Shimeah<S>8093</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s brother<S>251</S>, answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Let not my lord<S>113</S> suppose<S>559</S> that they have killed<S>4191</S> all the young men<S>5288</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>; for Amnon<S>550</S> only is dead<S>4191</S>; for by the appointment<S>6310</S> of Absalom<S>53</S> this hath been determined<S>7760</S> from the day<S>3117</S> that he forced<S>6031</S> his sister<S>269</S> Tamar<S>8559</S>.


text:
Now therefore let not my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> take<S>7760</S> the thing<S>1697</S> to his heart<S>3820</S>, to think<S>559</S> that all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> are dead<S>4191</S>; for Amnon<S>550</S> only is dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
But Absalom<S>53</S> fled<S>1272</S>. And the young man<S>5288</S> that kept the watch<S>6822</S> lifted up<S>5375</S> his eyes<S>5869</S>, and looked<S>7200</S>, and<S>1980</S>, behold, there came much<S>7227</S> people<S>5971</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the hill-side<S>2022, 6654</S> behind him<S>310</S>.


text:
And Jonadab<S>3122</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Behold<S>4428</S>, the king's sons<S>1121</S> are come<S>935</S>: as thy servant<S>5650</S> said<S>1697</S>, so it is.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3615</S>, as soon as he had made an end of speaking<S>1696</S>, that<S>4428</S>, behold, the king's sons<S>1121</S> came<S>935</S>, and lifted up<S>5375</S> their voice<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> also and all his servants<S>5650</S> wept<S>1058</S> very<S>3966</S> sore<S>1065</S>.


text:
But Absalom<S>53</S> fled<S>1272</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Talmai<S>8526</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ammihur<S>5991</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Geshur<S>1650</S>. And David mourned<S>56</S> for his son<S>1121</S> every day<S>3117</S>.


text:
So Absalom<S>53</S> fled<S>1272</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Geshur<S>1650</S>, and was there three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And the soul of king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> longed<S>3615</S> to go forth<S>3318</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>: for he was comforted<S>5162</S> concerning Amnon<S>550</S>, seeing he was dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1121</S>, Why, O son of the king<S>4428</S>, art thou thus lean<S>1800</S> from day<S>1242</S> to day<S>1242</S>? wilt thou not tell<S>5046</S> me<S>550</S>? And Amnon said<S>559</S> unto him<S>157</S>, I love Tamar<S>8559</S>, my brother<S>251</S> Absalom<S>53</S>'s sister<S>269</S>.


text:
And Jonadab<S>3082</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7901</S>, Lay thee down on thy bed<S>4904</S>, and feign thyself sick<S>2470</S>: and when thy father<S>1</S> cometh<S>935</S> to see<S>7200</S> thee<S>559</S>, say unto him<S>269</S>, Let my sister Tamar<S>8559</S> come<S>935</S>, I pray thee<S>1262</S>, and give me bread<S>3899</S> to eat<S>6213</S>, and dress the food<S>3899</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>, that I may see<S>7200</S> it<S>398</S>, and eat it from her hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
So Amnon<S>550</S> lay down<S>7901</S>, and feigned himself sick<S>2470</S>: and when the king<S>4428</S> was come<S>935</S> to see<S>7200</S> him<S>550</S>, Amnon said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Let her sister<S>269</S> Tamar<S>8559</S> come<S>935</S>, I pray thee<S>3823</S>, and make me a couple<S>8147</S> of cakes<S>3834</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>, that I may eat<S>1262</S> from her hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> home<S>1004</S> to Tamar<S>8559</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> now to thy brother<S>251</S> Amnon<S>550</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and dress<S>6213</S> him food<S>1279</S>.


text:
So Tamar<S>8559</S> went<S>3212</S> to her brother<S>251</S> Amnon<S>550</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; and he was laid down<S>7901</S>. And she took<S>3947</S> dough<S>1217</S>, and kneaded<S>3888</S> it<S>3823</S>, and made cakes in his sight<S>5869</S>, and did bake<S>1310</S> the cakes<S>3834</S>.


text:
And she took<S>3947</S> the pan<S>4958</S>, and poured them out<S>3332</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>3985</S>; but he refused to eat<S>398</S>. And Amnon<S>550</S> said<S>559</S>, Have out<S>3318</S> all men<S>376</S> from me<S>3318</S>. And they went out every man from him<S>376</S>.


text:
Now Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> perceived<S>3045</S> that the king<S>4428</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> was toward Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Whosoever saith<S>1696</S> aught unto thee<S>935</S>, bring him to me<S>5060</S>, and he shall not touch thee any more<S>3254</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> she<S>4428</S>, I pray thee, let the king remember<S>2142</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>, that the avenger<S>1350</S> of blood<S>1818</S> destroy<S>7843</S> not any more<S>7235</S>, lest they destroy<S>8045</S> my son<S>1121</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, As Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, there shall not one hair<S>8185</S> of thy son<S>1121</S> fall<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
Then the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S>, Let thy handmaid<S>8198</S>, I pray thee<S>1696</S>, speak a word<S>1697</S> unto my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Say on<S>1696</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S>, Wherefore then hast thou devised<S>2803</S> such a thing against the people<S>5971</S> of God<S>430</S>? for in speaking<S>1696</S> this word<S>1697</S> the king<S>4428</S> is as one that is guilty<S>818</S>, in that the king<S>4428</S> doth not fetch home again<S>7725</S> his banished one<S>5080</S>.


text:
For we must needs<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>, and are as water<S>4325</S> spilt<S>5064</S> on the ground<S>776</S>, which cannot be gathered up again<S>622</S>; neither doth God<S>430</S> take away<S>5375</S> life<S>5315</S>, but deviseth<S>2803</S> means<S>4284</S>, that he that is banished<S>5080</S> be not an outcast from him<S>5080</S>.


text:
Now therefore seeing that I am come<S>935</S> to speak<S>1696</S> this word<S>1697</S> unto my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, it is because the people<S>5971</S> have made me afraid<S>3372</S>: and thy handmaid<S>8198</S> said<S>559</S>, I will now speak<S>1696</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>; it may be that the king<S>4428</S> will perform<S>6213</S> the request<S>1697</S> of his servant<S>519</S>.


text:
For the king<S>4428</S> will hear<S>8085</S>, to deliver<S>5337</S> his servant<S>519</S> out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the man<S>376</S> that would destroy<S>8045</S> me and my son<S>1121</S> together<S>3162</S> out of the inheritance<S>5159</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
Then thy handmaid<S>8198</S> said<S>559</S>, Let<S>1697</S>, I pray thee, the word of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> be comfortable<S>4496</S>; for as an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>, so is my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> to discern<S>8085</S> good<S>2896</S> and bad<S>7451</S>: and Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God be with thee<S>430</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> unto the woman<S>802</S>, Hide<S>3582</S> not from me<S>1697</S>, I pray thee, aught that I shall ask<S>7592</S> thee<S>802</S>. And the woman said<S>559</S>, Let my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> now speak<S>1696</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Is the hand<S>3027</S> of Joab<S>3097</S> with thee in all this<S>802</S>? And the woman answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>6030</S>, As thy soul<S>5315</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, none<S>376</S> can<S>786</S> turn to the right hand<S>3231</S> or to the left<S>8041</S> from aught that my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> hath spoken<S>1696</S>; for thy servant<S>5650</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, he bade<S>6680</S> me<S>7760</S>, and he put all these words<S>1697</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of thy handmaid<S>8198</S>;


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Tekoa<S>8620</S>, and fetched<S>3947</S> thence a wise<S>2450</S> woman<S>802</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto her<S>56</S>, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on<S>3847</S> mourning<S>60</S> apparel<S>899</S>, I pray thee<S>5480</S>, and anoint not thyself with oil<S>8081</S>, but be as a woman<S>802</S> that hath a long<S>7227</S> time<S>3117</S> mourned<S>56</S> for the dead<S>4191</S>:


text:
to<S>5668</S> change<S>5437</S> the face<S>6440</S> of the matter<S>1697</S> hath thy servant<S>5650</S> Joab<S>3097</S> done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>: and my lord<S>113</S> is wise<S>2450</S>, according to the wisdom<S>2451</S> of an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>, to know<S>3045</S> all things that are in the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Joab<S>3097</S>, Behold now<S>6213</S>, I have done this thing<S>1697</S>: go<S>3212</S> therefore<S>7725</S>, bring the young man<S>5288</S> Absalom<S>53</S> back<S>7725</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> fell<S>5307</S> to the ground<S>776</S> on his face<S>6440</S>, and did obeisance<S>7812</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> the king<S>4428</S>: and Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S>, To-day<S>3117</S> thy servant<S>5650</S> knoweth<S>3045</S> that I have found<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in thy sight<S>5869</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, in that the king<S>4428</S> hath performed<S>6213</S> the request<S>1697</S> of his servant<S>5650</S>.


text:
So Joab<S>3097</S> arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Geshur<S>1650</S>, and brought<S>935</S> Absalom<S>53</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Let him turn<S>5437</S> to his own house<S>1004</S>, but let him not see<S>7200</S> my face<S>6440</S>. So Absalom<S>53</S> turned<S>5437</S> to his own house<S>1004</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> not the king<S>4428</S>'s face<S>6440</S>.


text:
Now in all Israel<S>3478</S> there was none<S>376</S> to be so much<S>3966</S> praised<S>1984</S> as Absalom<S>53</S> for his beauty<S>3303</S>: from the sole<S>3709</S> of his foot<S>7272</S> even to the crown of his head<S>6936</S> there was no blemish in him<S>3971</S>.


text:
And when he cut<S>1548</S> the hair of his head<S>7218</S> (now it was at every year<S>3117</S>'s end<S>7093</S> that he cut<S>1548</S> it<S>3513</S>; because it was heavy on him<S>1548</S>, therefore he cut it<S>8254</S>); he weighed the hair<S>8181</S> of his head<S>7218</S> at two hundred<S>3967</S> shekels<S>8255</S>, after the king<S>4428</S>'s weight<S>68</S>.


text:
And unto Absalom<S>53</S> there were born<S>3205</S> three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S>, and one<S>259</S> daughter<S>1323</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Tamar<S>8559</S>: she was a woman<S>802</S> of a fair<S>3303</S> countenance<S>4758</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> two full<S>3117</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; and he saw<S>7200</S> not the king<S>4428</S>'s face<S>6440</S>.


text:
Then Absalom<S>53</S> sent<S>7971</S> for Joab<S>3097</S>, to send<S>7971</S> him to the king<S>4428</S>; but he would<S>14</S> not come<S>935</S> to him<S>7971</S>: and he sent again a second time<S>8145</S>, but he would<S>14</S> not come<S>935</S>.


text:
and go<S>935</S> in to the king<S>4428</S>, and speak<S>1696</S> on this manner<S>1697</S> unto him<S>3097</S>. So Joab put<S>7760</S> the words<S>1697</S> in her mouth<S>6310</S>.


text:
Therefore he said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, See<S>7200</S>, Joab<S>3097</S>'s field<S>2513</S> is near<S>413</S> mine<S>3027</S>, and he hath barley<S>8184</S> there<S>3212</S>; go and set<S>3341</S> it on fire<S>784</S>. And Absalom<S>53</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> set<S>3341</S> the field<S>2513</S> on fire<S>784</S>.


text:
Then Joab<S>3097</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Absalom<S>53</S> unto his house<S>1004</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5650</S>, Wherefore have thy servants set<S>3341</S> my field<S>2513</S> on fire<S>784</S>?


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> answered<S>559</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, Behold<S>7971</S>, I sent unto thee<S>559</S>, saying, Come<S>935</S> hither<S>7971</S>, that I may send thee to the king<S>4428</S>, to say<S>559</S>, Wherefore am I come<S>935</S> from Geshur<S>1650</S>? it were better<S>2896</S> for me to be there still<S>7200</S>. Now therefore let me see the king<S>4428</S>'s face<S>6440</S>; and if there be<S>3426</S> iniquity<S>5771</S> in me<S>4191</S>, let him kill me.


text:
So Joab<S>3097</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him<S>7121</S>; and when he had called for Absalom<S>53</S>, he came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> himself on his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> kissed<S>5401</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And when the woman<S>802</S> of Tekoa<S>8621</S> spake<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, she fell<S>5307</S> on her face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>, and did obeisance<S>7812</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Help<S>3467</S>, O king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>559</S>, What aileth thee? And she answered, Of a truth<S>61</S> I<S>802</S> am a widow<S>490</S>, and my husband<S>376</S> is dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
And thy handmaid<S>8198</S> had two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S>, and they two<S>8147</S> strove together<S>5327</S> in the field<S>7704</S>, and there was none to part<S>5337</S> them<S>259</S>, but the one smote<S>5221</S> the other<S>259</S>, and killed him<S>4191</S>.


text:
And<S>4940</S>, behold, the whole family is risen<S>6965</S> against thy handmaid<S>8198</S>, and they say<S>559</S>, Deliver<S>5414</S> him that smote<S>5221</S> his brother<S>251</S>, that we may kill<S>4191</S> him for the life<S>5315</S> of his brother<S>251</S> whom he slew<S>2026</S>, and so destroy<S>8045</S> the heir<S>3423</S> also<S>3518</S>. Thus will they quench my coal<S>1513</S> which is left<S>7760</S>, and will leave<S>7760</S> to my husband<S>376</S> neither name<S>8034</S> nor remainder<S>7611</S> upon<S>6440</S> the face of the earth<S>127</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto the woman<S>802</S>, Go<S>3212</S> to thy house<S>1004</S>, and I will give charge concerning thee<S>6680</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> of Tekoa<S>8621</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, My lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, the iniquity<S>5771</S> be on me<S>1</S>, and on my father's house<S>1004</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> and his throne<S>3678</S> be guiltless<S>5355</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after this<S>310</S>, that Absalom<S>53</S> prepared<S>6213</S> him a chariot<S>4818</S> and horses<S>5483</S>, and fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S> to run<S>7323</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
But Absalom<S>53</S> sent<S>7971</S> spies<S>7270</S> throughout all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, As soon as ye hear<S>8085</S> the sound<S>6963</S> of the trumpet<S>7782</S>, then ye shall say<S>559</S>, Absalom<S>53</S> is king<S>4427</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S>.

And with Absalom<S>53</S> went<S>1980</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> out of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, that were invited<S>7121</S>, and went<S>1980</S> in their simplicity<S>8537</S>; and they knew<S>3045</S> not anything<S>1697</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> sent<S>7971</S> for Ahithophel<S>302</S> the Gilonite<S>1526</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s counsellor<S>3289</S>, from his city<S>5892</S>, even from Giloh<S>1542</S>, while he was offering<S>2076</S> the sacrifices<S>2077</S>. And the conspiracy<S>7195</S> was strong<S>533</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> increased<S>7227</S> continually<S>1980</S> with Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And there came<S>935</S> a messenger<S>5046</S> to David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The hearts<S>3820</S> of the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> are after<S>310</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto all his servants<S>5650</S> that were with him at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, and let us flee<S>1272</S>; for else none of us shall escape<S>6413</S> from<S>6440</S> Absalom<S>53</S>: make speed<S>4116</S> to depart<S>3212</S>, lest he overtake<S>5381</S> us quickly<S>4116</S>, and bring<S>5080</S> down evil<S>7451</S> upon us<S>5221</S>, and smite the city<S>5892</S> with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Behold<S>5650</S>, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> shall choose<S>977</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> went forth<S>3318</S>, and all his household<S>1004</S> after<S>7272</S> him<S>4428</S>. And the king left<S>5800</S> ten<S>6235</S> women<S>802</S>, that were concubines<S>6370</S>, to keep<S>8104</S> the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> went forth<S>3318</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> after<S>7272</S> him<S>5975</S>; and they tarried in<S>1004</S> Beth-merhak<S>4801</S>.


text:
And all his servants<S>5650</S> passed on<S>5674</S> beside<S>3027</S> him<S>3774</S>; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites<S>6432</S>, and all the Gittites<S>1663</S>, six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> that came<S>935</S> after<S>7272</S> him from Gath<S>1661</S>, passed on<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S> to Ittai<S>863</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S>, Wherefore goest<S>3212</S> thou also with us<S>7725</S>? return, and abide<S>3427</S> with the king<S>4428</S>: for thou art a foreigner<S>5237</S>, and also an exile<S>1540</S>; return to thine own place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> rose up early<S>7925</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> beside<S>3027</S> the way<S>1870</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>: and it was so<S>376</S>, that, when any man had a suit<S>7379</S> which should come<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S> for judgment<S>4941</S>, then Absalom<S>53</S> called<S>7121</S> unto him<S>559</S>, and said, Of what<S>335</S> city<S>5892</S> art thou<S>559</S>? And he said, Thy servant<S>5650</S> is of one<S>259</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Whereas thou camest<S>935</S> but yesterday<S>8543</S>, should I this day<S>3117</S> make thee go<S>3212</S> up and down<S>5128</S> with us<S>1980</S>, seeing I go whither I may<S>7725</S>? return thou<S>7725</S>, and take back thy brethren<S>251</S>; mercy<S>2617</S> and truth be with thee<S>571</S>.


text:
And Ittai<S>863</S> answered<S>6030</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, As Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, and as my lord<S>3068</S> the king<S>4428</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, surely in what place<S>4725</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> shall be<S>4194</S>, whether for death or for life<S>2416</S>, even there also will thy servant be<S>5650</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Ittai<S>863</S>, Go<S>3212</S> and pass over<S>5674</S>. And Ittai<S>863</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S> passed over<S>5674</S>, and all his men<S>582</S>, and all the little ones that were with him<S>2945</S>.


text:
And all the country<S>776</S> wept<S>1058</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> passed over<S>5674</S>: the king<S>4428</S> also himself passed over<S>5674</S> the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> passed over<S>5674</S>, toward<S>6440</S> the way<S>1870</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
And<S>6659</S>, lo, Zadok also came<S>3881</S>, and all the Levites with him<S>5375</S>, bearing the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of God<S>430</S>; and they set down<S>3332</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>; and Abiathar<S>54</S> went up<S>5927</S>, until all the people<S>5971</S> had done<S>8552</S> passing<S>5674</S> out of the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Zadok<S>6659</S>, Carry back<S>7725</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> into the city<S>5892</S>: if I shall find<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, he will bring me again<S>7725</S>, and show<S>7200</S> me both it<S>5116</S>, and his habitation:


text:
but if he say<S>559</S> thus<S>2654</S>, I have no delight in thee<S>6213</S>; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth<S>5869</S> good unto him<S>2896</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> also unto Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, Art thou not a seer<S>7200</S>? return<S>7725</S> into the city<S>5892</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, and your two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> with you<S>290</S>, Ahimaaz thy son<S>1121</S>, and Jonathan<S>3083</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Abiathar<S>54</S>.


text:
See<S>7200</S>, I will tarry<S>4102</S> at the fords<S>6160</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S>, until there come<S>935</S> word<S>1697</S> from you to certify me<S>5046</S>.


text:
Zadok<S>6659</S> therefore and Abiathar<S>54</S> carried<S>7725</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> again<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and they abode there<S>3427</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7200</S>, See, thy matters<S>1697</S> are good<S>2896</S> and right<S>5228</S>; but there is no man deputed of the king<S>4428</S> to hear thee<S>8085</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> went up<S>5927</S> by the ascent<S>4608</S> of the mount of Olives<S>2132</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> as he went up<S>5927</S>; and he had his head<S>7218</S> covered<S>2645</S>, and went<S>1980</S> barefoot<S>3182</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him covered<S>2645</S> every man<S>376</S> his head<S>7218</S>, and they went up<S>5927</S>, weeping<S>1058</S> as they went up<S>5927</S>.


text:
And one told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Ahithophel<S>302</S> is among the conspirators<S>7194</S> with Absalom<S>53</S>. And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S>, I pray thee<S>6098</S>, turn the counsel of Ahithophel<S>302</S> into foolishness<S>5528</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1732</S>, that, when David was come<S>935</S> to the top<S>7218</S> of the ascent<S>430</S>, where God was worshipped<S>7812</S>, behold<S>2365</S>, Hushai the Archite<S>757</S> came to meet<S>7125</S> him with his coat<S>3801</S> rent<S>7167</S>, and earth<S>127</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5674</S>, If thou passest on with me<S>4853</S>, then thou wilt be a burden unto me:


text:
but if thou return<S>7725</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, and say<S>559</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, I will be thy servant<S>5650</S>, O king<S>4428</S>; as I have been thy father<S>1</S>'s servant<S>5650</S> in time past<S>227</S>, so will I now be thy servant<S>5650</S>; then wilt thou defeat<S>6565</S> for me the counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S>.


text:
And hast thou not there with thee Zadok<S>6659</S> and Abiathar<S>54</S> the priests<S>3548</S>? therefore it shall be<S>1697</S>, that what thing soever thou shalt hear<S>8085</S> out of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, thou shalt tell<S>5046</S> it to Zadok<S>6659</S> and Abiathar<S>54</S> the priests<S>3548</S>.


text:
Behold<S>8147</S>, they have there with them their two sons<S>1121</S>, Ahimaaz<S>290</S>, Zadok<S>6659</S>'s son<S>3083</S>, and Jonathan, Abiathar<S>54</S>'s son<S>3027</S>; and by them ye shall send<S>7971</S> unto me everything<S>1697</S> that ye shall hear<S>8085</S>.


text:
So Hushai<S>2365</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s friend<S>7463</S>, came<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>; and Absalom<S>53</S> came<S>935</S> into Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> moreover<S>7760</S>, Oh that I were made judge<S>8199</S> in the land<S>776</S>, that every man<S>376</S> who hath any suit<S>7379</S> or cause<S>4941</S> might come<S>935</S> unto me<S>6663</S>, and I would do him justice!


text:
And it was so<S>376</S>, that, when any man came nigh<S>7126</S> to do him obeisance<S>7812</S>, he put forth<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S>, and took<S>2388</S> hold of him<S>5401</S>, and kissed him.


text:
And on this manner<S>1697</S> did<S>6213</S> Absalom<S>53</S> to all Israel<S>3478</S> that came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S> for judgment<S>4941</S>: so Absalom<S>53</S> stole<S>1589</S> the hearts<S>3820</S> of the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the end<S>7093</S> of forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>, that Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, I pray thee<S>3212</S>, let me go and pay<S>7999</S> my vow<S>5088</S>, which I have vowed<S>5087</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, in Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
For thy servant<S>5650</S> vowed<S>5087</S> a vow<S>5088</S> while I abode<S>3427</S> at Geshur<S>1650</S> in Syria<S>758</S>, saying<S>559</S>, If Jehovah<S>3068</S> shall indeed bring me again<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, then I will serve<S>5647</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Go in peace<S>7965</S>. So he arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> was a little<S>4592</S> past<S>5674</S> the top<S>7218</S> of the ascent<S>6717</S>, behold, Ziba the servant<S>5288</S> of Mephibosheth<S>4648</S> met<S>7125</S> him<S>6776</S>, with a couple of asses<S>2543</S> saddled<S>2280</S>, and upon them two hundred<S>3967</S> loaves of bread<S>3899</S>, and a hundred<S>3967</S> clusters of raisins<S>6778</S>, and a hundred<S>3967</S> of summer fruits<S>7019</S>, and a bottle<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, What have I to do with you<S>1121</S>, ye sons of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>? Because he curseth<S>7043</S>, and because Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7043</S>, Curse David<S>1732</S>; who then shall say<S>559</S>, Wherefore hast thou done so<S>6213</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abishai<S>52</S>, and to all his servants<S>5650</S>, Behold<S>1121</S>, my son, who came forth<S>3318</S> from my bowels<S>4578</S>, seeketh<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>: how much more may this Benjamite<S>1145</S> now do it<S>3240</S>? let him alone, and let him curse<S>7043</S>; for Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath bidden him<S>559</S>.


text:
It may be that Jehovah<S>3068</S> will look<S>7200</S> on the wrong<S>5869</S> done unto me<S>3068</S>, and that Jehovah will requite<S>7725</S> me good<S>2896</S> for his cursing<S>7045</S> of me this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>3212</S> by the way<S>1870</S>; and Shimei<S>8096</S> went along<S>1980</S> on the hill-side<S>2022, 6763</S> over against<S>5980</S> him<S>7043</S>, and cursed as he went<S>1980</S>, and threw<S>5619</S> stones<S>68</S> at<S>5980</S> him<S>6080</S>, and cast dust<S>6083</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>935</S>, came weary<S>5889</S>; and he refreshed himself there<S>5314</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S>, the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and Ahithophel with him<S>302</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>2365</S>, when Hushai the Archite<S>757</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s friend<S>7463</S>, was come<S>935</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, that Hushai<S>2365</S> said<S>559</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, Long live<S>2421</S> the king<S>4428</S>, Long live<S>2421</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> to Hushai<S>2365</S>, Is this thy kindness<S>2617</S> to thy friend<S>7453</S>? why wentest<S>1980</S> thou not with thy friend<S>7453</S>?


text:
And Hushai<S>2365</S> said<S>559</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, Nay<S>3068</S>; but whom Jehovah, and this people<S>5971</S>, and all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> have chosen<S>977</S>, his will I be<S>3427</S>, and with him will I abide.


text:
And again<S>8145</S>, whom should I serve<S>5647</S>? should I not serve in the presence<S>6440</S> of his son<S>1121</S>? as I have served<S>5647</S> in thy father<S>1</S>'s presence<S>6440</S>, so will I be in thy presence<S>6440</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ziba<S>6717</S>, What meanest thou by these<S>6717</S>? And Ziba said<S>559</S>, The asses<S>2543</S> are for the king<S>4428</S>'s household<S>1004</S> to ride on<S>7392</S>; and the bread<S>3899</S> and summer fruit<S>7019</S> for the young men<S>5288</S> to eat<S>398</S>; and the wine<S>3196</S>, that such as are faint<S>3287</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> may drink<S>8354</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Absalom<S>53</S> to Ahithophel<S>302</S>, Give<S>3051</S> your counsel<S>6098</S> what we shall do<S>6213</S>.


text:
And Ahithophel<S>302</S> said<S>559</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, Go in<S>935</S> unto thy father<S>1</S>'s concubines<S>6370</S>, that he hath left<S>3240</S> to keep<S>8104</S> the house<S>1004</S>; and all Israel<S>3478</S> will hear<S>8085</S> that thou art abhorred<S>887</S> of thy father<S>1</S>: then will the hands<S>3027</S> of all that are with thee be strong<S>2388</S>.


text:
So they spread<S>5186</S> Absalom<S>53</S> a tent<S>168</S> upon the top of the house<S>1406</S>; and Absalom<S>53</S> went in<S>935</S> unto his father<S>1</S>'s concubines<S>6370</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S>, which he gave<S>3289</S> in those days<S>3117</S>, was as if a man<S>376</S> inquired<S>7592</S> at the oracle<S>1697</S> of God<S>430</S>: so was all the counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S> both with David<S>1732</S> and with Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, And where is thy master<S>113</S>'s son<S>1121</S>? And Ziba<S>6717</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Behold<S>3427</S>, he abideth at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; for he said<S>559</S>, To-day<S>3117</S> will the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> restore<S>7725</S> me the kingdom<S>4468</S> of my father<S>1</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S> to Ziba<S>6717</S>, Behold<S>4648</S>, thine is all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba<S>6717</S> said<S>559</S>, I do obeisance<S>7812</S>; let me find<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in thy sight<S>5869</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>.

And when king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Bahurim<S>980</S>, behold<S>3318</S>, there came out thence a man<S>376</S> of the family<S>4940</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Shimei<S>8096</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S>; he came out<S>3318</S>, and cursed<S>7043</S> still as he came<S>3318</S>.


text:
And he cast<S>5619</S> stones<S>68</S> at David<S>1732</S>, and at all the servants<S>5650</S> of king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> and all the mighty men<S>1368</S> were on his right hand<S>3225</S> and on his left<S>8040</S>.


text:
And thus said<S>559</S> Shimei<S>8096</S> when he cursed<S>7043</S>, Begone<S>3318</S>, begone<S>3318</S>, thou man<S>376</S> of blood<S>1818</S>, and base<S>1100</S> fellow<S>376</S>:


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath returned<S>7725</S> upon thee all the blood<S>1818</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, in whose stead thou hast reigned<S>4427</S>; and Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Absalom<S>53</S> thy son<S>1121</S>; and<S>7451</S>, behold, thou art taken in thine own mischief, because thou art a man<S>376</S> of blood<S>1818</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Why should this dead<S>4191</S> dog<S>3611</S> curse<S>7043</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>? let me go over<S>5674</S>, I pray thee<S>5493</S>, and take off his head<S>7218</S>.


text:
Moreover Ahithophel<S>302</S> said<S>559</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, Let me now choose out<S>977</S> twelve<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>, and I will arise<S>6965</S> and pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S> this night<S>3915</S>:


text:
And even he that is valiant<S>1121</S>, whose heart<S>3820</S> is as the heart<S>3820</S> of a lion<S>738</S>, will utterly<S>4549</S> melt<S>4549</S>; for all Israel<S>3478</S> knoweth<S>3045</S> that thy father<S>1</S> is a mighty man<S>1368</S>, and they that are with him are valiant<S>2428</S> men<S>1121</S>.


text:
But I counsel<S>3289</S> that all Israel<S>3478</S> be gathered<S>622</S> together<S>622</S> unto thee<S>1835</S>, from Dan even to Beer-sheba<S>884</S>, as the sand<S>2344</S> that is by the sea<S>3220</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>; and that thou go<S>1980</S> to battle<S>7128</S> in thine own person<S>6440</S>.


text:
So shall we come<S>935</S> upon him in some<S>259</S> place<S>4725</S> where he shall be found<S>4672</S>, and we will light<S>5168</S> upon him as the dew<S>2919</S> falleth<S>5307</S> on the ground<S>127</S>; and of him and of all the men<S>582</S> that are with him we will not leave<S>3498</S> so much as<S>1571</S> one<S>259</S>.


text:
Moreover<S>518</S>, if he be gotten<S>622</S> into a city<S>5892</S>, then shall all Israel<S>3478</S> bring<S>5375</S> ropes<S>2256</S> to that city<S>5892</S>, and we will draw<S>5498</S> it into the river<S>5158</S>, until there be not one<S>1571</S> small stone<S>6872</S> found there<S>4672</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> and all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, The counsel<S>6098</S> of Hushai<S>2365</S> the Archite<S>757</S> is better<S>2896</S> than the counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S>. For Jehovah<S>3068</S> had ordained<S>6680</S> to defeat<S>6565</S> the good<S>2896</S> counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S>, to the intent<S>5668</S> that Jehovah<S>3068</S> might bring<S>935</S> evil<S>7451</S> upon Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Hushai<S>2365</S> unto Zadok<S>6659</S> and to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priests<S>3548</S>, Thus and thus did Ahithophel<S>302</S> counsel<S>3289</S> Absalom<S>53</S> and the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; and thus and thus have I counselled<S>3289</S>.


text:
Now therefore send<S>7971</S> quickly<S>4120</S>, and tell<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Lodge<S>3885</S> not this night<S>3915</S> at the fords<S>6160</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S>, but by all means<S>5674</S> pass over<S>5674</S>; lest the king<S>4428</S> be swallowed up<S>1104</S>, and all the people that are with him<S>5971</S>.


text:
Now Jonathan<S>3083</S> and Ahimaaz<S>290</S> were staying<S>5975</S> by En-rogel<S>5883</S>; and a maid-servant<S>8198</S> used to go<S>1980</S> and tell<S>5046</S> them<S>1980</S>; and they went and told<S>5046</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>: for they might<S>3201</S> not be seen<S>7200</S> to come<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
But a lad<S>5288</S> saw<S>7200</S> them<S>5046</S>, and told Absalom<S>53</S>: and they went<S>3212</S> both<S>8147</S> of them away quickly<S>4120</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of a man<S>376</S> in Bahurim<S>980</S>, who had a well<S>875</S> in his court<S>2691</S>; and they went down<S>3381</S> thither<S>8033</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> took<S>3947</S> and spread<S>6566</S> the covering<S>4539</S> over the well<S>875</S>'s mouth<S>6440</S>, and strewed<S>7849</S> bruised grain<S>7383</S> thereon<S>1697</S>; and nothing was known<S>3045</S>.


text:
and I will come<S>935</S> upon him while he is weary<S>3023</S> and weak-handed<S>7504</S>, <S>3027</S> and will make him afraid<S>2729</S>; and all the people<S>5971</S> that are with him shall flee<S>5127</S>; and I will smite<S>5221</S> the king only<S>4428</S>;


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> came<S>935</S> to the woman<S>802</S> to the house<S>1004</S>; and they said<S>559</S>, Where are Ahimaaz<S>290</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S>? And the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>5674</S>, They are gone over the brook<S>4323</S> of water<S>4325</S>. And when they had sought<S>1245</S> and could not find<S>4672</S> them<S>7725</S>, they returned to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>310</S>, after they were departed<S>3212</S>, that they came up<S>5927</S> out of the well<S>875</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and told<S>5046</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>; and they said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Arise<S>6965</S> ye<S>4120</S>, and pass quickly over<S>5674</S> the water<S>4325</S>; for thus hath Ahithophel<S>302</S> counselled against you<S>3289</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>5674</S>, and they passed over the Jordan<S>3383</S>: by the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S> there lacked<S>5737</S> not one<S>259</S> of them that was not gone over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And when Ahithophel<S>302</S> saw<S>7200</S> that his counsel<S>6098</S> was not followed<S>6213</S>, he saddled<S>2280</S> his ass<S>2543</S>, and arose<S>6965</S>, and gat him home<S>3212</S>, unto his<S>1004</S> city<S>5892</S>, and set his house<S>1004</S> in order<S>6680</S>, and hanged<S>2614</S> himself<S>4191</S>; and he died, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the sepulchre<S>6913</S> of his father<S>1</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>. And Absalom<S>53</S> passed over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, he and all the men<S>376</S> of Israel with him<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> set<S>7760</S> Amasa<S>6021</S> over the host<S>6635</S> instead of Joab<S>3097</S>. Now Amasa<S>6021</S> was the son<S>1121</S> of a man<S>376</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Ithra<S>3501</S> the Israelite<S>3481</S>, that went in<S>935</S> to Abigal<S>26</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Nahash<S>5176</S>, sister<S>269</S> to Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, Joab<S>3097</S>'s mother<S>517</S>.


text:
And Israel<S>3478</S> and Absalom<S>53</S> encamped<S>2583</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1732</S>, when David was come<S>935</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>, that Shobi<S>7629</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nahash<S>5176</S> of Rabbah<S>7237</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and Machir<S>4353</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ammiel<S>5988</S> of Lodebar<S>3810</S>, and Barzillai<S>1271</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S> of Rogelim<S>7274</S>,


text:
brought<S>5066</S> beds<S>4904</S>, and basins<S>5592</S>, and earthen<S>3335</S> vessels<S>3627</S>, and wheat<S>2406</S>, and barley<S>8184</S>, and meal<S>7058</S>, and parched<S>7039</S> grain<S>6321</S>, and beans, and lentils<S>5742</S>, and parched pulse<S>7039</S>,


text:
and honey<S>1706</S>, and butter<S>2529</S>, and sheep<S>6629</S>, and cheese<S>8194</S> of the herd<S>1241</S>, for David<S>1732</S>, and for the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>398</S>, to eat: for they said<S>559</S>, The people<S>5971</S> are hungry<S>7457</S>, and weary<S>5889</S>, and thirsty<S>6771</S>, in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
and I will bring back<S>7725</S> all the people<S>5971</S> unto thee<S>376</S>: the man whom thou seekest<S>1245</S> is as if all returned<S>7725</S>: so all the people<S>5971</S> shall be in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
And the saying<S>1697</S> pleased<S>3474</S> Absalom<S>53</S> well<S>5869</S>, and all the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, Call<S>7121</S> now Hushai<S>2365</S> the Archite<S>757</S> also<S>8085</S>, and let us hear likewise what he saith<S>6310</S>.


text:
And when Hushai<S>2365</S> was come<S>935</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>, Absalom<S>53</S> spake<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, Ahithophel<S>302</S> hath spoken<S>1696</S> after this manner<S>1697</S>: shall we do<S>6213</S> after his saying<S>1697</S>? if not<S>1696</S>, speak thou.


text:
And Hushai<S>2365</S> said<S>559</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, The counsel<S>6098</S> that Ahithophel<S>302</S> hath given<S>3289</S> this time<S>6471</S> is not good<S>2896</S>.


text:
Hushai<S>2365</S> said<S>559</S> moreover<S>3045</S>, Thou knowest thy father<S>1</S> and his men<S>582</S>, that they are mighty men<S>1368</S>, and they are chafed<S>4751</S> in their minds<S>5315</S>, as a bear<S>1677</S> robbed<S>7909</S> of her whelps in the field<S>7704</S>; and thy father<S>1</S> is a man<S>376</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and will not lodge<S>3885</S> with the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Behold<S>2244</S>, he is hid now in some<S>259</S> pit<S>6354</S>, or in some<S>259</S> other place<S>4725</S>: and it will come to pass<S>5307</S>, when some of them are fallen at the first<S>8462</S>, that whosoever<S>8085</S> heareth<S>8085</S> it will say<S>559</S>, There is a slaughter<S>4046</S> among the people<S>5971</S> that follow<S>310</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> numbered<S>6485</S> the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>7760</S>, and set captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S> and captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds over them<S>3967</S>.


text:
And a certain<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> saw<S>7200</S> it<S>5046</S>, and told Joab<S>3097</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>7200</S>, I saw Absalom<S>53</S> hanging<S>8518</S> in an oak<S>424</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S> unto the man<S>376</S> that told<S>5046</S> him<S>7200</S>, And, behold, thou sawest it<S>5221</S>, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground<S>776</S>? and I would have given<S>5414</S> thee ten<S>6235</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S>, and a<S>259</S> girdle<S>2290</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> unto Joab<S>3097</S>, Though<S>3863</S> I should receive<S>8254</S> a thousand<S>505</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S> in my hand<S>3709</S>, yet would I not put forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>; for in our hearing<S>241</S> the king<S>4428</S> charged<S>6680</S> thee and Abishai<S>52</S> and Ittai<S>863</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Beware<S>8104</S> that none touch the young man<S>5288</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
Otherwise<S>176</S> if I had dealt<S>6213</S> falsely<S>8267</S> against his life<S>5315</S> (and there is no matter<S>1697</S> hid<S>3582</S> from the king<S>4428</S>), then thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me<S>3320</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, I may not tarry<S>3176</S> thus with thee<S>6440</S>. And he took<S>3947</S> three<S>7969</S> darts<S>7626</S> in his hand<S>3709</S>, and thrust<S>8628</S> them through the heart<S>3820</S> of Absalom<S>53</S>, while he was yet alive<S>2416</S> in the midst of the oak<S>424</S>.


text:
And ten<S>6235</S> young men<S>5288</S> that bare<S>5375</S> Joab<S>3097</S>'s armor<S>3627</S> compassed about<S>5437</S> and smote<S>5221</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, and slew him<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> returned<S>7725</S> from pursuing<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; for Joab<S>3097</S> held back<S>2820</S> the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And they took<S>3947</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> him into the great<S>1419</S> pit<S>6354</S> in the forest<S>3293</S>, and raised<S>5324</S> over him a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> heap<S>1530</S> of stones<S>68</S>: and all Israel<S>3478</S> fled<S>5127</S> every one<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
Now Absalom<S>53</S> in his lifetime<S>2416</S> had taken<S>3947</S> and reared up<S>5324</S> for himself the pillar<S>4678</S>, which is in the king<S>4428</S>'s dale<S>6010</S>; for he said<S>559</S>, I have no son<S>1121</S> to keep my name<S>8034</S> in remembrance<S>2142</S>: and he called<S>7121</S> the pillar<S>4678</S> after his own name<S>8034</S>; and it is called<S>7121</S> Absalom<S>53</S>'s monument<S>3027</S>, unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Ahimaaz<S>290</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S>, Let me now run<S>7323</S>, and bear<S>1319</S> the king<S>4428</S> tidings<S>1319</S>, how that Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath avenged<S>8199</S> him of his enemies<S>3027</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent forth<S>7971</S> the people<S>5971</S>, a third part<S>7992</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>, and a third part<S>7992</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, Joab<S>3097</S>'s brother<S>251</S>, and a third part<S>7992</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Ittai<S>863</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, I will surely<S>3318</S> go forth<S>3318</S> with you myself also<S>589</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>376</S>, Thou shalt not be the bearer of tidings<S>1309</S> this day<S>3117</S>, but thou shalt bear tidings<S>1319</S> another<S>312</S> day<S>3117</S>; but this day<S>3117</S> thou shalt bear no tidings<S>1319</S>, because the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S> is dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Joab<S>3097</S> to the Cushite<S>3569</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S> what thou hast seen<S>7200</S>. And the Cushite<S>3569</S> bowed<S>7812</S> himself unto Joab<S>3097</S>, and ran<S>7323</S>.

Then said<S>559</S> Ahimaaz<S>290</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S> yet again<S>3254</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, But come what may<S>4100</S>, let me<S>7323</S>, I pray thee, also run after<S>310</S> the Cushite<S>3569</S>. And Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S>, Wherefore wilt thou run<S>7323</S>, my son<S>1121</S>, seeing that thou wilt have no reward<S>4672</S> for the tidings<S>1309</S>?


text:
But come what may<S>559</S>, said he<S>7323</S>, I will run. And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7323</S>, Run. Then Ahimaaz<S>290</S> ran<S>7323</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the Plain<S>3603</S>, and outran the Cushite<S>3569</S>.


text:
Now David<S>1732</S> was sitting<S>3427</S> between the two<S>8147</S> gates<S>8179</S>: and the watchman<S>6822</S> went up<S>3212</S> to the roof<S>1406</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> unto the wall<S>2346</S>, and lifted up<S>5375</S> his eyes<S>5869</S>, and looked<S>7200</S>, and<S>376</S>, behold, a man running alone<S>7323</S>.


text:
And the watchman<S>6822</S> cried<S>7121</S>, and told<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, If he be alone<S>1309</S>, there is tidings in his mouth<S>6310</S>. And he came<S>3212</S> apace<S>1980</S>, and drew near<S>7131</S>.


text:
And the watchman<S>6822</S> saw<S>7200</S> another<S>312</S> man<S>376</S> running<S>7323</S>; and the watchman<S>6822</S> called<S>7121</S> unto the porter<S>7778</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>376</S>, another man running<S>7323</S> alone<S>4428</S>. And the king said<S>559</S>, He also bringeth tidings<S>1319</S>.


text:
And the watchman<S>6822</S> said<S>559</S>, I think<S>7200</S> the running<S>4794</S> of the foremost<S>7223</S> is like the running<S>4794</S> of Ahimaaz<S>290</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, He is a good<S>2896</S> man<S>376</S>, and cometh<S>935</S> with good<S>2896</S> tidings<S>1309</S>.


text:
And Ahimaaz<S>290</S> called<S>7121</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, All is well<S>7965</S>. And he bowed<S>7812</S> himself before the king<S>4428</S> with his face<S>639</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>, who hath delivered up<S>5462</S> the men<S>582</S> that lifted up<S>5462</S> their hand<S>3027</S> against my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Is it well<S>7965</S> with the young man<S>5288</S> Absalom<S>53</S>? And Ahimaaz<S>290</S> answered<S>559</S>, When Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s servant<S>5650</S>, even me thy servant<S>5650</S>, I saw<S>7200</S> a great<S>1419</S> tumult<S>1995</S>, but I knew not what it was<S>3045</S>.


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S>, Thou shalt not go forth<S>3318</S>: for if we flee<S>5127</S> away<S>5127</S>, they will not care<S>7760</S> for us<S>2677</S>; neither if half of us die<S>4191</S>, will they care<S>7760</S> for us<S>3644</S>: but thou art worth ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> of us<S>2896</S>; therefore now it is better that thou be ready to succor<S>5826</S> us out of the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Turn aside<S>5437</S>, and stand<S>3320</S> here<S>3541</S>. And he turned aside<S>5437</S>, and stood still<S>5975</S>.


text:
And<S>3569</S>, behold, the Cushite came<S>935</S>; and the Cushite<S>3569</S> said<S>559</S>, Tidings<S>1319</S> for my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>; for Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath avenged<S>8199</S> thee this day<S>3117</S> of all them<S>3027</S> that rose up against thee<S>6965</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto the Cushite<S>3569</S>, Is it well<S>7965</S> with the young man<S>5288</S> Absalom<S>53</S>? And the Cushite<S>3569</S> answered<S>559</S>, The enemies<S>341</S> of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and all that rise<S>6965</S> up against thee to do thee hurt<S>7451</S>, be as that young man is<S>5288</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> was much moved<S>7264</S>, and went up<S>5927</S> to the chamber<S>5944</S> over the gate<S>8179</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>: and as he went<S>3212</S>, thus he said<S>559</S>, O my son<S>1121</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, my son<S>1121</S>, my son<S>1121</S> Absalom<S>53</S>! would I had died<S>4191</S> for thee<S>5414</S>, O Absalom<S>53</S>, my son<S>1121</S>, my son<S>1121</S>!


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>5869</S>, What seemeth you best<S>3190</S> I will do<S>6213</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> stood<S>5975</S> by the gate-side<S>8179</S>, <S>3027</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> went out<S>3318</S> by hundreds<S>3967</S> and by thousands<S>505</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Joab<S>3097</S> and Abishai<S>52</S> and Ittai<S>863</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Deal gently<S>328</S> for my sake with the young man<S>5288</S>, even with Absalom<S>53</S>. And all the people<S>5971</S> heard<S>8085</S> when the king<S>4428</S> gave all the captains<S>8269</S> charge<S>6680</S> concerning<S>1697</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
So the people<S>5971</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S> against<S>7125</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: and the battle<S>4421</S> was in the forest<S>3293</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were smitten<S>5062</S> there before<S>6440</S> the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and there was a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4046</S> there that day<S>3117</S> of twenty<S>6242</S> thousand men<S>505</S>.


text:
For the battle<S>4421</S> was there spread<S>6327</S> over the face<S>6440</S> of all the country<S>776</S>; and the forest<S>3293</S> devoured<S>398</S> more<S>7235</S> people<S>5971</S> that day<S>3117</S> than the sword<S>2719</S> devoured<S>398</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> chanced to meet<S>7122</S> the servants<S>6440</S> of David<S>1732</S>. And Absalom<S>53</S> was riding<S>7392</S> upon his mule<S>6505</S>, and the mule<S>6505</S> went<S>935</S> under the thick boughs<S>7730</S> of a great<S>1419</S> oak<S>424</S>, and his head<S>7218</S> caught hold<S>2388</S> of the oak<S>424</S>, and he was taken up<S>5414</S> between heaven<S>8064</S> and earth<S>776</S>; and the mule<S>6505</S> that was under him went on<S>5674</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, Behold<S>4428</S>, the king weepeth<S>1058</S> and mourneth<S>56</S> for Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S>, whom we anointed<S>4886</S> over us<S>4191</S>, is dead in battle<S>4421</S>. Now therefore why speak<S>2790</S> ye not a word of bringing<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> back<S>7725</S>?


text:
And king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Zadok<S>6659</S> and to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priests<S>3548</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Speak<S>1696</S> unto the elders<S>2205</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Why are ye the last<S>314</S> to bring<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> back<S>7725</S> to his house<S>1004</S>? seeing the speech<S>1697</S> of all Israel<S>3478</S> is come<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, to bring him to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Ye are my brethren<S>251</S>, ye are my bone<S>6106</S> and my flesh<S>1320</S>: wherefore then are ye the last<S>314</S> to bring back<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
And say<S>559</S> ye to Amasa<S>6021</S>, Art thou not my bone<S>6106</S> and my flesh<S>1320</S>? God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so to me<S>3254</S>, and more also<S>8269</S>, if thou be not captain of the host<S>6635</S> before<S>6440</S> me continually<S>3117</S> in the room<S>8478</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>.


text:
And he bowed<S>5186</S> the heart<S>3824</S> of all the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, even as the heart of one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>; so that they sent<S>7971</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>7725</S>, Return thou<S>5650</S>, and all thy servants.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> returned<S>7725</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the Jordan<S>3383</S>. And Judah<S>3063</S> came<S>935</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>, to go<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the king<S>4428</S>, to bring<S>5674</S> the king<S>4428</S> over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And Shimei<S>8096</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S>, the Benjamite<S>1145</S>, who was of Bahurim<S>980</S>, hasted<S>4116</S> and came down<S>3381</S> with the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> to meet<S>7125</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And there were a thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> of Benjamin<S>1145</S> with him<S>6717</S>, and Ziba the servant<S>5288</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and his fifteen<S>2568</S> sons<S>1121</S> and his twenty<S>6242</S> servants<S>5650</S> with him<S>6743</S>; and they went through the Jordan<S>3383</S> in the presence<S>6440</S> of the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And there went over<S>5674</S> a ferry-boat<S>5679</S> to bring over<S>5674</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s household<S>1004</S>, and to do<S>6213</S> what he thought<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S>. And Shimei<S>8096</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S> fell down<S>5307</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>, when he was come over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Let not my lord<S>113</S> impute<S>2803</S> iniquity<S>5771</S> unto me<S>2142</S>, neither do thou remember that which thy servant<S>5650</S> did perversely<S>5753</S> the day<S>3117</S> that my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> went out<S>3318</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, that the king<S>4428</S> should take<S>7760</S> it to his heart<S>3820</S>.


text:
And the victory<S>8668</S> that day<S>3117</S> was turned into mourning<S>60</S> unto all the people<S>5971</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> heard<S>8085</S> say<S>559</S> that day<S>3117</S>, The king<S>4428</S> grieveth<S>6087</S> for his son<S>1121</S>.


text:
For thy servant<S>5650</S> doth know<S>3045</S> that I have sinned<S>2398</S>: therefore<S>935</S>, behold, I am come this day<S>3117</S> the first<S>7223</S> of all the house<S>1004</S> of Joseph<S>3130</S> to go down<S>3381</S> to meet<S>7125</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
But Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Shall not Shimei<S>8096</S> be put to death<S>4191</S> for this<S>7043</S>, because he cursed Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, What have I to do with you<S>1121</S>, ye sons of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, that ye should this day<S>3117</S> be adversaries<S>7854</S> unto me<S>376</S>? shall there any man be put to death<S>4191</S> this day<S>3117</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>? for do not I know<S>3045</S> that I am this day<S>3117</S> king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Shimei<S>8096</S>, Thou shalt not die<S>4191</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> sware unto him<S>7650</S>.


text:
And Mephibosheth<S>4648</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> came down<S>3381</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the king<S>4428</S>; and he had neither<S>3808</S> dressed<S>6213</S> his feet<S>7272</S>, nor trimmed<S>6213</S> his beard<S>8222</S>, nor washed<S>3526</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, from the day<S>3117</S> the king<S>4428</S> departed<S>3212</S> until the day<S>3117</S> he came<S>935</S> home in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>935</S>, when he was come to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the king<S>4428</S>, that the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1980</S>, Wherefore wentest not thou with me<S>4648</S>, Mephibosheth?


text:
And he answered<S>559</S>, My lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, my servant<S>5650</S> deceived<S>7411</S> me<S>5650</S>: for thy servant said<S>559</S>, I will saddle<S>2280</S> me an ass<S>2543</S>, that I may ride<S>7392</S> thereon<S>3212</S>, and go with the king<S>4428</S>; because thy servant<S>5650</S> is lame<S>6455</S>.


text:
And he hath slandered<S>7270</S> thy servant<S>5650</S> unto my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>; but my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> is as an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>: do<S>6213</S> therefore what is good<S>2896</S> in thine eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
For all my father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> were but<S>3808</S> dead<S>4194</S> men<S>582</S> before my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>; yet didst thou set<S>7896</S> thy servant<S>5650</S> among them that did eat<S>398</S> at thine own table<S>7979</S>. What right<S>6666</S> therefore have<S>3426</S> I yet that I should cry<S>2199</S> any more unto the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1696</S>, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters<S>1697</S>? I say<S>559</S>, Thou and Ziba<S>6717</S> divide<S>2505</S> the land<S>7704</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> gat<S>935</S> them by stealth<S>1589</S> that day<S>3117</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, as people<S>5971</S> that are ashamed<S>3637</S> steal away<S>1589</S> when they flee<S>5127</S> in battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
And Mephibosheth<S>4648</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, yea<S>3947</S>, let him take all<S>310</S>, forasmuch as<S>834</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> is come<S>935</S> in peace<S>7965</S> unto his own house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Barzillai<S>1271</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S> came down<S>3381</S> from Rogelim<S>7274</S>; and he went over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S> with the king<S>4428</S>, to conduct<S>7971</S> him over the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
Now Barzillai<S>1271</S> was a very<S>3966</S> aged<S>2204</S> man<S>8084</S>, even fourscore years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>: and he had provided the king<S>4428</S> with sustenance<S>3557</S> while he lay<S>7871</S> at Mahanaim<S>4266</S>; for he was a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Barzillai<S>1271</S>, Come thou over<S>5674</S> with me<S>3557</S>, and I will sustain thee with me in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And Barzillai<S>1271</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, How many<S>3117</S> are the days of the years of my life<S>8141</S>, that I should go up<S>5927</S> with the king<S>4428</S> unto Jerusalem<S>3389</S>?


text:
I am this day<S>3117</S> fourscore<S>8084</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>: can I discern<S>3045</S> between good<S>2896</S> and bad<S>7451</S>? can thy servant<S>5650</S> taste<S>2938</S> what<S>834</S> I eat<S>398</S> or what<S>834</S> I drink<S>8354</S>? can I hear<S>8085</S> any more the voice<S>6963</S> of singing men<S>7891</S> and singing women<S>7891</S>? wherefore then should thy servant<S>5650</S> be yet a burden<S>4853</S> unto my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
Thy servant<S>5650</S> would but just<S>4592</S> go<S>5674</S> over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S> with the king<S>4428</S>: and why should the king<S>4428</S> recompense<S>1580</S> it me with such a reward<S>1578</S>?

Let thy servant<S>5650</S>, I pray thee<S>7725</S>, turn back again, that I may die<S>4191</S> in mine own city<S>5892</S>, by the grave<S>6913</S> of my father<S>1</S> and my mother<S>517</S>. But behold<S>5650</S>, thy servant Chimham<S>3643</S>; let him go over<S>5674</S> with my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>; and do<S>6213</S> to him what shall seem good unto thee<S>2896</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>559</S>, Chimham<S>3643</S> shall go<S>5674</S> over with me<S>6213</S>, and I will do to him that which shall seem good<S>2896</S> unto thee<S>977</S>: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me<S>6213</S>, that will I do for thee.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> went over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> went over<S>5674</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> kissed<S>5401</S> Barzillai<S>1271</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> him<S>7725</S>; and he returned unto his own place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> covered<S>3813</S> his face<S>6440</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> cried<S>2199</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>, O my son<S>1121</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, O Absalom<S>53</S>, my son<S>1121</S>, my son<S>1121</S>!


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> went over<S>5674</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and Chimham<S>3643</S> went over<S>5674</S> with him<S>5971</S>: and all the people of Judah<S>3063</S> brought<S>5674</S> the king<S>4428</S> over<S>2677</S>, and also half the people<S>5971</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And<S>376</S>, behold, all the men of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Why have our brethren<S>251</S> the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> stolen thee away<S>1589</S>, and brought<S>5674</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and his household<S>1004</S>, over the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and all David<S>1732</S>'s men with him<S>582</S>?


text:
And all the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> answered<S>6030</S> the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Because the king<S>4428</S> is near of kin<S>7138</S> to us<S>2734</S>: wherefore then are ye angry for this matter<S>1697</S>? have we eaten<S>398</S> at all<S>398</S> at the king<S>4428</S>'s cost<S>5375</S>? or hath he given us any gift<S>5379</S>?


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> answered<S>6030</S> the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and said<S>559</S>, We have ten<S>6235</S> parts<S>3027</S> in the king<S>4428</S>, and we<S>589</S> have also more right in David<S>1732</S> than ye<S>7043</S>: why then did ye despise us<S>1697</S>, that our advice should not be first<S>7223</S> had in bringing back<S>7725</S> our king<S>4428</S>? And the words<S>1697</S> of the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> were fiercer<S>7185</S> than the words<S>1697</S> of the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> came<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Thou hast shamed<S>3001</S> this day<S>3117</S> the faces<S>6440</S> of all thy servants<S>5650</S>, who this day<S>3117</S> have saved<S>4422</S> thy life<S>5315</S>, and the lives<S>5315</S> of thy sons<S>1121</S> and of thy daughters<S>1323</S>, and the lives<S>5315</S> of thy wives<S>802</S>, and the lives<S>5315</S> of thy concubines<S>6370</S>;


text:
in that thou lovest<S>157</S> them that hate<S>8130</S> thee<S>8130</S>, and hatest them that love<S>157</S> thee<S>5046</S>. For thou hast declared this day<S>3117</S>, that princes<S>8269</S> and servants<S>5650</S> are nought unto thee<S>3117</S>: for this day I perceive<S>3045</S>, that if<S>3863</S> Absalom<S>53</S> had lived<S>2416</S>, and all we had died<S>4191</S> this day<S>3117</S>, then it had pleased thee well<S>3477</S>.


text:
Now therefore arise<S>6965</S>, go forth<S>3318</S>, and speak<S>1696</S> comfortably<S>3820</S> unto thy servants<S>5650</S>; for I swear<S>7650</S> by Jehovah<S>3068</S>, if thou go not forth<S>3318</S>, there will not tarry<S>3885</S> a man<S>376</S> with thee this night<S>3915</S>: and that will be worse<S>7489</S> unto thee than all the evil<S>7451</S> that hath befallen<S>935</S> thee from thy youth until now<S>5271</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and sat<S>3427</S> in the gate<S>8179</S>. And they told<S>5046</S> unto all the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>4428</S>, the king is sitting<S>3427</S> in the gate<S>8179</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> came<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>. Now Israel<S>3478</S> had fled<S>5127</S> every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> were at strife<S>1777</S> throughout all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The king<S>4428</S> delivered<S>5337</S> us out of the hand<S>3709</S> of our enemies<S>341</S>, and he saved<S>4422</S> us out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and now he is fled<S>1272</S> out of the land<S>776</S> from Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after this<S>310</S>, that David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Shall I go up<S>5927</S> into any<S>259</S> of the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>? And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5927</S>, Go up. And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, Whither shall I go up<S>5927</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, Unto Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
Ish-bosheth<S>378</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, was forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>. But the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> followed<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And the time<S>4557</S> that David<S>1732</S> was king<S>4428</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S> over the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> was seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> and six<S>8337</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, and the servants<S>5650</S> of Ish-bosheth<S>378</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, went out<S>3318</S> from Mahanaim<S>4266</S> to Gibeon<S>1391</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, and the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>, went out<S>3318</S>, and met<S>6298</S> them<S>3162</S> by the pool<S>1295</S> of Gibeon<S>1391</S>; and they sat down<S>3427</S>, the one on the one side of the pool<S>1295</S>, and the other on the other side of the pool<S>1295</S>.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, Let the young men<S>5288</S>, I pray thee<S>6965</S>, arise and play<S>7832</S> before<S>6440</S> us<S>3097</S>. And Joab said<S>559</S>, Let them arise<S>6965</S>.


text:
Then they arose<S>6965</S> and went over<S>5674</S> by number<S>4557</S>: twelve<S>8147</S> for Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and for Ish-bosheth<S>378</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and twelve<S>8147</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And they caught<S>2388</S> every one<S>376</S> his fellow<S>7453</S> by the head<S>7218</S>, and thrust his sword<S>2719</S> in his fellow<S>7453</S>'s side<S>6654</S>; so they fell down<S>5307</S> together<S>3162</S>: wherefore that place<S>4725</S> was called<S>7121</S> Helkath-hazzurim<S>2521</S>, which is in Gibeon<S>1391</S>.


text:
And the battle<S>4421</S> was very<S>3966</S> sore<S>7186</S> that day<S>3117</S>: and Abner<S>74</S> was beaten<S>5062</S>, and the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, before<S>6440</S> the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And the three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> were there<S>3097</S>, Joab, and Abishai<S>52</S>, and Asahel<S>6214</S>: and Asahel<S>6214</S> was as light<S>7031</S> of foot<S>7272</S> as a<S>259</S> wild<S>7704</S> roe<S>6643</S>.


text:
And Asahel<S>6214</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>; and in going<S>3212</S> he turned<S>5186</S> not to the right hand<S>3225</S> nor to the left<S>8040</S> from following<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> went up<S>5927</S> thither<S>8147</S>, and his two wives<S>802</S> also<S>293</S>, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess<S>3159</S>, and Abigail<S>26</S> the wife<S>802</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S> the Carmelite<S>3761</S>.


text:
Then Abner<S>74</S> looked<S>6437</S> behind<S>310</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, Is it thou<S>6214</S>, Asahel? And he answered<S>559</S>, It is I.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>5186</S>, Turn thee aside to thy right hand<S>3225</S> or to thy left<S>8040</S>, and lay thee hold<S>270</S> on one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S>, and take<S>3947</S> thee his armor<S>2488</S>. But Asahel<S>6214</S> would<S>14</S> not turn aside<S>5493</S> from following him<S>310</S>.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S> again<S>3254</S> to Asahel<S>6214</S>, Turn thee aside<S>5493</S> from following<S>310</S> me<S>5221</S>: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground<S>776</S>? how then should I hold up<S>5375</S> my face<S>6440</S> to Joab<S>3097</S> thy brother<S>251</S>?


text:
Howbeit he refused<S>3985</S> to turn aside<S>5493</S>: wherefore Abner<S>74</S> with the hinder end<S>310</S> of the spear<S>2595</S> smote<S>5221</S> him in<S>413</S> the body<S>2570</S>, so that the spear<S>2595</S> came out<S>3318</S> behind<S>310</S> him<S>5307</S>; and he fell down there<S>4191</S>, and died in the same place<S>8478</S>: and it came to pass<S>935</S>, that as many as came to the place<S>4725</S> where Asahel<S>6214</S> fell down<S>5307</S> and died<S>4191</S> stood still<S>5975</S>.


text:
But Joab<S>3097</S> and Abishai<S>52</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>: and the sun<S>8121</S> went down<S>935</S> when they were come<S>935</S> to the hill<S>1389</S> of Ammah<S>522</S>, that lieth before<S>6440</S> Giah<S>1520</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Gibeon<S>1391</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S> after<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>, and became one<S>259</S> band<S>92</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> on the top<S>7218</S> of a hill<S>1389</S>.


text:
Then Abner<S>74</S> called<S>7121</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Shall the sword<S>2719</S> devour<S>398</S> for ever<S>5331</S>? knowest<S>3045</S> thou not that it will be bitterness<S>4751</S> in the latter end<S>314</S>? how long shall it be then<S>559</S>, ere thou bid the people<S>5971</S> return<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> their brethren<S>251</S>?


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S>, As God<S>430</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, if thou hadst not<S>3884</S> spoken<S>1696</S>, surely then in the morning<S>1242</S> the people<S>5971</S> had gone away<S>5927</S>, nor followed<S>310</S> every one<S>376</S> his brother<S>251</S>.


text:
So Joab<S>3097</S> blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S>; and all the people<S>5971</S> stood still<S>5975</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Israel<S>3478</S> no more<S>3898</S>, neither fought they any more<S>3254</S>.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>1980</S> all that night<S>3915</S> through the Arabah<S>6160</S>; and they passed over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and went through<S>5674</S> all Bithron<S>1338</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>.


text:
And his men<S>582</S> that were with him did David<S>1732</S> bring up<S>5927</S>, every man<S>376</S> with his household<S>1004</S>: and they dwelt<S>3427</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> returned<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>: and when he had gathered<S>6908</S> all the people<S>5971</S> together<S>6908</S>, there lacked<S>6485</S> of David<S>1732</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> nineteen<S>8672</S> men<S>376</S> and Asahel<S>6214</S>.


text:
But the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S> had smitten<S>5221</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and of Abner<S>74</S>'s men<S>582</S>, so that three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and threescore<S>8346</S> men<S>376</S> died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And they took up<S>5375</S> Asahel<S>6214</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> him in the sepulchre<S>6913</S> of his father<S>1</S>, which was in Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>. And Joab<S>3097</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>3212</S> all night<S>3915</S>, and the day<S>215</S> brake upon them at Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> came<S>935</S>, and there they anointed<S>4886</S> David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> over the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>. And they told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The men<S>582</S> of Jabesh-gilead<S>3003</S> were they that buried<S>6912</S> Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh-gilead<S>3003</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>1288</S>, Blessed be ye of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, that ye have showed<S>6213</S> this kindness<S>2617</S> unto your lord<S>113</S>, even unto Saul<S>7586</S>, and have buried him<S>6912</S>.


text:
And now Jehovah<S>3068</S> show<S>6213</S> lovingkindness<S>2617</S> and truth<S>571</S> unto you<S>6213</S>: and I also will requite you this kindness<S>2896</S>, because ye have done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
Now therefore let your hands<S>3027</S> be strong<S>2388</S>, and be ye valiant<S>1121</S>; for Saul<S>7586</S> your lord<S>113</S> is dead<S>4191</S>, and also the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> have anointed<S>4886</S> me king over them<S>4428</S>.


text:
Now Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>'s host<S>6635</S>, had taken<S>3947</S> Ish-bosheth<S>378</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and brought him over<S>5674</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>;


text:
and he made him king<S>4427</S> over Gilead<S>1568</S>, and over the Ashurites<S>805</S>, and over Jezreel<S>3157</S>, and over Ephraim<S>669</S>, and over Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and over all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And there happened<S>7122</S> to be there a base<S>1100</S> fellow<S>376</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Sheba<S>7652</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S>, a Benjamite<S>1145</S>: and he blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S>, and said<S>559</S>, We have no portion<S>2506</S> in David<S>1732</S>, neither have we inheritance<S>5159</S> in the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>: every<S>376</S> man<S>376</S> to his tents<S>168</S>, O Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
But Amasa<S>6021</S> took no heed<S>8104</S> to the sword<S>2719</S> that was in Joab<S>3097</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>: so he smote<S>5221</S> him therewith in the body<S>2570</S>, and shed out<S>8210</S> his bowels<S>4578</S> to the ground<S>776</S>, and struck him not again<S>8138</S>; and he died<S>4191</S>. And Joab<S>3097</S> and Abishai<S>52</S> his brother<S>251</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S>.

And there stood<S>5975</S> by him one<S>376</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>'s young men<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S>, He<S>4310</S> that favoreth<S>2654</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, and he that is for David<S>1732</S>, let him follow<S>310</S> Joab<S>3097</S>.


text:
And Amasa<S>6021</S> lay wallowing<S>1556</S> in his blood<S>1818</S> in the midst<S>8432</S> of the highway<S>4546</S>. And when the man<S>376</S> saw<S>7200</S> that all the people<S>5971</S> stood still<S>5975</S>, he carried<S>5437</S> Amasa<S>6021</S> out of the highway<S>4546</S> into the field<S>7704</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> a garment<S>899</S> over him<S>7200</S>, when he saw that every one that came<S>935</S> by him stood still<S>5975</S>.


text:
When he was removed<S>3014</S> out of the highway<S>4546</S>, all the people<S>376</S> went on<S>5674</S> after<S>310</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, to pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S>.


text:
And he went<S>5674</S> through all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> unto Abel<S>59</S>, and to Beth-maacah<S>1038</S>, and all the Berites<S>1276</S>: and they were gathered together<S>6950</S>, and went<S>935</S> also after him<S>310</S>.


text:
And they came<S>935</S> and besieged<S>6696</S> him in Abel<S>59</S> of Beth-maacah<S>1038</S>, and they cast up<S>8210</S> a mound<S>5550</S> against the city<S>5892</S>, and it stood<S>5975</S> against the rampart<S>2426</S>; and all the people<S>5971</S> that were with Joab<S>3097</S> battered<S>7843</S> the wall<S>2346</S>, to throw it down<S>5307</S>.


text:
Then cried<S>7121</S> a wise<S>2450</S> woman<S>802</S> out of the city<S>5892</S>, Hear<S>8085</S>, hear<S>8085</S>; say<S>559</S>, I pray you<S>3097</S>, unto Joab, Come near<S>7126</S> hither<S>1696</S>, that I may speak with thee.


text:
And he came near<S>7126</S> unto her<S>802</S>; and the woman said<S>559</S>, Art thou Joab<S>3097</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, I am<S>559</S>. Then she said unto him<S>8085</S>, Hear the words<S>1697</S> of thy handmaid<S>519</S>. And he answered<S>559</S>, I do hear<S>8085</S>.


text:
Then she spake<S>559</S>, saying<S>559</S>, They were wont<S>1696</S> to speak<S>1696</S> in old time<S>7223</S>, saying<S>559</S>, They shall surely<S>7592</S> ask<S>7592</S> counsel at Abel<S>59</S>: and so they ended the matter<S>8552</S>.


text:
I am of them that are peaceable<S>7999</S> and faithful<S>539</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>: thou seekest<S>1245</S> to destroy<S>4191</S> a city<S>5892</S> and a mother<S>517</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>: why wilt thou swallow up<S>1104</S> the inheritance<S>5159</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>?


text:
So all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went up<S>5927</S> from following<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S>, and followed<S>310</S> Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S>; but the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> clave<S>1692</S> unto their king<S>4428</S>, from the Jordan<S>3383</S> even to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Far be it<S>2486</S>, far be it<S>2486</S> from me<S>1104</S>, that I should swallow up or destroy<S>7843</S>.


text:
The matter<S>1697</S> is not so<S>376</S>: but a man of the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S> by name<S>8034</S>, hath lifted up<S>5375</S> his hand<S>3027</S> against the king<S>4428</S>, even against David<S>1732</S>; deliver<S>5414</S> him only<S>3212</S>, and I will depart from the city<S>5892</S>. And the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> unto Joab<S>3097</S>, Behold<S>7218</S>, his head shall be thrown<S>7993</S> to thee over<S>1157</S> the wall<S>2346</S>.


text:
Then the woman<S>802</S> went<S>935</S> unto all the people<S>5971</S> in her wisdom<S>2451</S>. And they cut off<S>3772</S> the head<S>7218</S> of Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S>, and threw<S>7993</S> it out to Joab<S>3097</S>. And he blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S>, and they were dispersed<S>6327</S> from the city<S>5892</S>, every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>. And Joab<S>3097</S> returned<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Now Joab<S>3097</S> was over all the host<S>6635</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; and Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> was over the Cherethites<S>3774</S> and over the Pelethites<S>6432</S>;


text:
and Adoram<S>151</S> was over the men subject to taskwork<S>4522</S>; and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahilud<S>286</S> was the recorder<S>2142</S>;


text:
and Sheva<S>7864</S> was scribe<S>5608</S>; and Zadok<S>6659</S> and Abiathar<S>54</S> were priests<S>3548</S>;


text:
And David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to his house<S>1004</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> took<S>3947</S> the ten<S>6235</S> women<S>802</S> his concubines<S>6370</S>, whom he had left<S>3240</S> to keep<S>8104</S> the house<S>1004</S>, and put<S>5414</S> them in ward<S>4931</S>, and provided them with sustenance<S>3557</S>, but went not in<S>935</S> unto them<S>6887</S>. So they were shut up unto the day<S>3117</S> of their death<S>4191</S>, living<S>2424</S> in widowhood<S>491</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S> to Amasa<S>6021</S>, Call<S>2199</S> me the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> together within three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>, and be thou here present<S>5975</S>.


text:
So Amasa<S>6021</S> went<S>3212</S> to call<S>2199</S> the men of Judah<S>3063</S> together<S>309</S>; but he tarried longer than the set time<S>4150</S> which he had appointed him<S>3259</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abishai<S>52</S>, Now will Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S> do us more harm<S>3415</S> than did Absalom<S>53</S>: take<S>3947</S> thou thy lord<S>113</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, and pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>4672</S>, lest he get him fortified<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S>, and escape<S>5337</S> out of our sight<S>5869</S>.


text:
And there went out<S>3318</S> after<S>310</S> him Joab<S>3097</S>'s men<S>582</S>, and the Cherethites<S>3774</S> and the Pelethites<S>6432</S>, and all the mighty men<S>1368</S>; and they went out<S>3318</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Sheba<S>7652</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bichri<S>1075</S>.


text:
When they were at the great<S>1419</S> stone<S>68</S> which is in Gibeon<S>1391</S>, Amasa<S>6021</S> came<S>935</S> to meet<S>6440</S> them<S>3097</S>. And Joab was girded<S>2296</S> with his apparel<S>4055</S> of war that he had put on<S>3830</S>, and thereon was a girdle<S>2289</S> with a sword<S>2719</S> fastened<S>6775</S> upon his loins<S>4975</S> in the sheath<S>8593</S> thereof<S>3318</S>; and as he went forth it fell out<S>3318</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S> to Amasa<S>6021</S>, Is it well<S>7965</S> with thee<S>251</S>, my brother? And Joab<S>3097</S> took<S>270</S> Amasa<S>6021</S> by the beard<S>2206</S> with his right<S>3225</S> hand<S>3027</S> to kiss him<S>5401</S>.


text:
And there was a famine<S>7458</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of David<S>1732</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>, year<S>8141</S> after<S>310</S> year<S>8141</S>; and David<S>1732</S> sought<S>1245</S> the face of<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>. And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, It is for Saul<S>7586</S>, and for his bloody<S>1818</S> house<S>1004</S>, because he put to death<S>4191</S> the Gibeonites<S>1393</S>.


text:
And Rizpah<S>7532</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Aiah<S>345</S> took<S>3947</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S>, and spread<S>5186</S> it for her upon the rock<S>6697</S>, from the beginning<S>8462</S> of harvest<S>7105</S> until water<S>4325</S> was poured<S>5413</S> upon them from heaven<S>8064</S>; and she suffered<S>5414</S> neither the birds<S>5775</S> of the heavens<S>8064</S> to rest<S>5117</S> on them by day<S>3119</S>, nor the beasts<S>2416</S> of the field<S>7704</S> by night<S>3915</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> what Rizpah<S>7532</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Aiah<S>345</S>, the concubine<S>6370</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> went<S>3212</S> and took<S>3947</S> the bones<S>6106</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> and the bones<S>6106</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S> from the men<S>1167</S> of Jabesh-gilead<S>3003</S>, who had stolen<S>1589</S> them from the street<S>7339</S> of Beth-shan<S>1052</S>, where the Philistines<S>6430</S> had hanged<S>8511</S> them<S>3117</S>, in the day that the Philistines<S>6430</S> slew<S>5221</S> Saul<S>7586</S> in Gilboa<S>1533</S>;


text:
and he brought up<S>5927</S> from thence the bones<S>6106</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> and the bones<S>6106</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S>: and they gathered<S>622</S> the bones<S>6106</S> of them that were hanged<S>3363</S>.


text:
And they buried<S>6912</S> the bones<S>6106</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S> in the country<S>776</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> in Zela<S>6762</S>, in the sepulchre<S>6913</S> of Kish<S>7027</S> his father<S>1</S>: and they performed<S>6213</S> all that the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S>. And after<S>310</S> that God<S>430</S> was entreated<S>6279</S> for the land<S>776</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> had war<S>4421</S> again with Israel<S>3478</S>; and David<S>1732</S> went down<S>3381</S>, and his servants<S>5650</S> with him<S>3898</S>, and fought against the Philistines<S>6430</S>. And David<S>1732</S> waxed faint<S>5774</S>;


text:
and Ishbibenob<S>3430</S>, who was of the sons<S>3211</S> of the giant<S>7497</S>, the weight<S>4948</S> of whose spear<S>7013</S> was three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shekels of brass<S>5178</S> in weight<S>4948</S>, he being girded<S>2296</S> with a new<S>2319</S> sword<S>559</S>, thought to have slain<S>5221</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
But Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> succored<S>5826</S> him<S>5221</S>, and smote the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> him<S>582</S>. Then the men of David<S>1732</S> sware<S>7650</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, Thou shalt go<S>3318</S> no more out with us to battle<S>4421</S>, that thou quench<S>3518</S> not the lamp<S>5216</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after this<S>310</S>, that there was again war<S>4421</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S> at Gob<S>1359</S>: then Sibbecai<S>5444</S> the Hushathite<S>2843</S> slew<S>5221</S> Saph<S>5593</S>, who was of the sons<S>3211</S> of the giant<S>7497</S>.


text:
And there was again war<S>4421</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S> at Gob<S>1359</S>; and Elhanan<S>445</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jaareoregim<S>3296</S> the Beth-lehemite<S>1022</S> slew<S>5221</S> Goliath<S>1555</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S>, the staff<S>6086</S> of whose spear<S>2595</S> was like a weaver<S>707</S>'s beam<S>4500</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> called<S>7121</S> the Gibeonites<S>1393</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>1393</S> (now the Gibeonites were not of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, but of the remnant<S>3499</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>; and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had sworn<S>7650</S> unto them<S>7586</S>: and Saul sought<S>1245</S> to slay<S>5221</S> them in his zeal<S>7065</S> for the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>);


text:
And there was again war<S>4421</S> at Gath<S>1661</S>, where was a man<S>376</S> of great stature<S>4067</S>, that had on every hand<S>3027</S> six<S>8337</S> fingers<S>676</S>, and on every foot<S>7272</S> six<S>8337</S> toes<S>676</S>, four<S>702</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> in number<S>4557</S>; and he also was born<S>3205</S> to the giant<S>7497</S>.


text:
And when he defied<S>2778</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, Jonathan<S>3083</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shimei<S>8092</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s brother<S>251</S>, slew him<S>5221</S>.


text:
These four<S>702</S> were born<S>3205</S> to the giant<S>7497</S> in Gath<S>1661</S>; and they fell<S>5307</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and by the hand<S>3027</S> of his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
and David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto the Gibeonites<S>1393</S>, What shall I do<S>6213</S> for you<S>3722</S>? and wherewith shall I make atonement, that ye may bless<S>1288</S> the inheritance<S>5159</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>?


text:
And the Gibeonites<S>1393</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5973</S>, It is no matter of silver<S>3701</S> or gold<S>2091</S> between us and Saul<S>7586</S>, or his house<S>1004</S>; neither is it for us to put any man<S>376</S> to death<S>4191</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, What ye shall say<S>559</S>, that will I do for you<S>6213</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, The man<S>376</S> that consumed<S>3615</S> us<S>1819</S>, and that devised against us<S>8045</S>, that we should be destroyed from remaining<S>3320</S> in any of the borders<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
let seven<S>7651</S> men<S>582</S> of his sons<S>1121</S> be delivered<S>5414</S> unto us<S>3363</S>, and we will hang them up unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, the chosen<S>972</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, I will give them<S>5414</S>.


text:
But the king<S>4428</S> spared<S>2550</S> Mephibosheth<S>4648</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, because of Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s oath<S>7621</S> that was between them<S>1732</S>, between David and Jonathan<S>3083</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
But the king<S>4428</S> took<S>3947</S> the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Rizpah<S>7532</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Aiah<S>345</S>, whom she bare<S>3205</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, Armoni<S>764</S> and Mephibosheth<S>4648</S>; and the five<S>2568</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Michal<S>4324</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, whom she bare<S>3205</S> to Adriel<S>5741</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Barzillai<S>1271</S> the Meholathite<S>4259</S>:


text:
And he delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hands<S>3027</S> of the Gibeonites<S>1393</S>, and they hanged<S>3363</S> them in the mountain<S>2022</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and they fell<S>5307</S> all seven<S>7651</S> together<S>3162</S>. And they were put to death<S>4191</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of harvest<S>7105</S>, in the first<S>7223</S> days<S>8462</S>, at the beginning of barley<S>8184</S> harvest<S>7105</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> spake<S>1696</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> the words<S>1697</S> of this song<S>7892</S> in the day<S>3117</S> that Jehovah<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5337</S> him out of the hand<S>3709</S> of all his enemies<S>341</S>, and out of the hand<S>3709</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>:


text:
He bowed<S>5186</S> the heavens<S>8064</S> also<S>3381</S>, and came down; And thick darkness<S>6205</S> was under his feet<S>7272</S>.

And he rode<S>7392</S> upon a cherub<S>3742</S>, and did fly<S>5774</S>; Yea<S>7200</S>, he was seen upon the wings<S>3671</S> of the wind<S>7307</S>.


text:
And he made<S>7896</S> darkness<S>2822</S> pavilions<S>5521</S> round about<S>5439</S> him<S>2841</S>, Gathering of waters<S>4325</S>, thick clouds<S>5645</S> of the skies<S>7834</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> thundered<S>7481</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, And the Most High<S>5945</S> uttered<S>5414</S> his voice<S>6963</S>.


text:
And he sent out<S>7971</S> arrows<S>2671</S>, and scattered<S>6327</S> them<S>1300</S>; Lightning, and discomfited them<S>2000</S>.


text:
Then the channels<S>650</S> of the sea<S>3220</S> appeared<S>7200</S>, The foundations<S>4146</S> of the world<S>8398</S> were laid bare<S>1540</S>, By the rebuke<S>1606</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, At the blast<S>5397</S> of the breath<S>7307</S> of his nostrils<S>639</S>.


text:
He sent<S>7971</S> from on high<S>4791</S>, he took<S>3947</S> me<S>4871</S>; He drew me out of many<S>7227</S> waters<S>4325</S>;


text:
He delivered<S>5337</S> me from my strong<S>5794</S> enemy<S>341</S>, From them that hated<S>8130</S> me<S>553</S>; for they were too mighty for me.


text:
They came upon<S>6923</S> me in the day<S>3117</S> of my calamity<S>343</S>; But Jehovah<S>3068</S> was my stay<S>4937</S>.


text:
and he said<S>559</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> is my rock<S>5553</S>, and my fortress<S>4686</S>, and my deliverer<S>6403</S>, even mine;


text:
He brought me forth<S>3318</S> also into a large place<S>4800</S>; He delivered<S>2502</S> me<S>2654</S>, because he delighted in me.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> rewarded<S>1580</S> me according to my righteousness<S>6666</S>; According to the cleanness<S>1252</S> of my hands<S>3027</S> hath he recompensed me<S>7725</S>.


text:
For I have kept<S>8104</S> the ways<S>1870</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, And have not wickedly departed<S>7561</S> from my God<S>430</S>.


text:
For all his ordinances<S>4941</S> were before me<S>2708</S>; And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them<S>5493</S>.


text:
I was also perfect<S>8549</S> toward him<S>8104</S>; And I kept myself from mine iniquity<S>5771</S>.


text:
Therefore hath Jehovah<S>3068</S> recompensed<S>7725</S> me according to my righteousness<S>6666</S>, According to my cleanness<S>1252</S> in his eyesight<S>5048</S>.


text:
With the merciful<S>2623</S> thou wilt show thyself merciful<S>2616</S>; With the perfect<S>8549</S> man<S>1368</S> thou wilt show thyself perfect<S>8549</S>;


text:
With the pure<S>1305</S> thou wilt show thyself pure<S>1305</S>; And with the perverse<S>6141</S> thou wilt show thyself froward<S>6141</S>.


text:
And the afflicted<S>6041</S> people<S>5971</S> thou wilt save<S>3467</S>; But thine eyes<S>5869</S> are upon the haughty<S>7311</S>, that thou mayest bring them down<S>8213</S>.


text:
For thou art my lamp<S>5216</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S>; And Jehovah<S>3068</S> will lighten<S>5050</S> my darkness<S>2822</S>.


text:
God<S>430</S>, my rock<S>6697</S>, in him will I take refuge<S>2620</S>; My shield<S>4043</S>, and the horn<S>7161</S> of my salvation<S>3468</S>, my high tower<S>4869</S>, and my refuge<S>4498</S>; My saviour<S>3467</S>, thou savest<S>3467</S> me from violence<S>2555</S>.


text:
For by thee I run<S>7323</S> upon a troop<S>1416</S>; By my God<S>430</S> do I leap over<S>1801</S> a wall<S>7791</S>.


text:
As for God<S>410</S>, his way<S>1870</S> is perfect<S>8549</S>: The word<S>565</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> is tried<S>6884</S>; He is a shield<S>4043</S> unto all them that take refuge in him<S>2620</S>.


text:
For who is God<S>410</S>, save<S>1107</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>? And who is a rock<S>6697</S>, save<S>1107</S> our God<S>430</S>?


text:
God<S>410</S> is my strong<S>4581</S> fortress<S>2428</S>; And he guideth<S>5425</S> the perfect<S>8549</S> in his way<S>1870</S>.


text:
He maketh<S>7737</S> his feet<S>7272</S> like<S>7737</S> hinds<S>355</S>' feet<S>5975</S>, And setteth me upon my high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
He teacheth<S>3925</S> my hands<S>3027</S> to war<S>4421</S>, So that mine arms<S>2220</S> do bend<S>5181</S> a bow<S>7198</S> of brass<S>5154</S>.


text:
Thou hast also given<S>5414</S> me the shield<S>4043</S> of thy salvation<S>3468</S>; And thy gentleness<S>6031</S> hath made me great<S>7235</S>.


text:
Thou hast enlarged<S>7337</S> my steps<S>6806</S> under me<S>7166</S>; And my feet have not slipped<S>4571</S>.


text:
I have pursued<S>7291</S> mine enemies<S>341</S>, and destroyed<S>8045</S> them<S>7725</S>; Neither did I turn again till they were consumed<S>3615</S>.


text:
And I have consumed<S>3615</S> them<S>4272</S>, and smitten them through<S>6965</S>, so that they cannot arise: Yea<S>5307</S>, they are fallen under my feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
I will call<S>7121</S> upon Jehovah<S>3068</S>, who is worthy to be praised<S>1984</S>: So shall I be saved<S>3467</S> from mine enemies<S>341</S>.


text:
For thou hast girded<S>247</S> me with strength<S>2428</S> unto the battle<S>4421</S>; Thou hast subdued<S>3766</S> under me those that rose up against me<S>6965</S>.


text:
Thou hast also made<S>5414</S> mine enemies<S>341</S> turn their backs<S>6203</S> unto me<S>6789</S>, That I might cut off them that hate me<S>8130</S>.


text:
They looked<S>8159</S>, but there was none to save<S>3467</S>; Even unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, but he answered them not<S>6030</S>.


text:
Then did I beat<S>7833</S> them small as the dust<S>6083</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, I did crush<S>1854</S> them as the mire<S>2916</S> of the streets<S>2351</S>, and did spread them abroad<S>7554</S>.


text:
Thou also hast delivered<S>6403</S> me from the strivings<S>7379</S> of my people<S>5971</S>; Thou hast kept<S>8104</S> me to be the head<S>7218</S> of the nations<S>1471</S>: A people<S>5971</S> whom I have not known<S>3045</S> shall serve me<S>5647</S>.


text:
The foreigners<S>1121</S> shall submit<S>3584</S> themselves unto me<S>8085</S>: As soon as they hear of me<S>8085</S>, they shall obey me.


text:
The foreigners<S>1121</S> shall fade away<S>5034</S>, And shall come trembling<S>2296</S> out of their close places<S>4526</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>; And blessed<S>1288</S> be my rock<S>6697</S>; And exalted<S>7311</S> be God<S>430</S>, the rock<S>6697</S> of my salvation<S>3468</S>,


text:
Even the God<S>410</S> that executeth vengeance<S>5414</S> for me<S>3381</S>, And that bringeth down peoples under me<S>5971</S>,


text:
And that bringeth me forth<S>3318</S> from mine enemies<S>341</S>: Yea<S>7311</S>, thou liftest me up above them that rise up<S>6965</S> against me<S>5337</S>; Thou deliverest me from the violent<S>2555</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
For the waves<S>4867</S> of death<S>4194</S> compassed<S>661</S> me<S>5158</S>; The floods of ungodliness<S>1100</S> made me afraid<S>1204</S>:


text:
Therefore I will give thanks<S>3034</S> unto thee<S>3068</S>, O Jehovah, among the nations<S>1471</S>, And will sing praises<S>2167</S> unto thy name<S>8034</S>.


text:
Great<S>4024</S> deliverance<S>3444</S> giveth he to his king<S>4428</S>, And showeth<S>6213</S> lovingkindness<S>2617</S> to his anointed<S>4899</S>, To David<S>1732</S> and to his seed<S>2233</S>, for<S>5704</S> evermore<S>5769</S>.


text:
The cords<S>2256</S> of Sheol<S>7585</S> were round about<S>5437</S> me<S>4170</S>; The snares of death<S>4194</S> came upon me<S>6923</S>.


text:
In my distress<S>6862</S> I called<S>7121</S> upon Jehovah<S>3068</S>; Yea<S>7121</S>, I called unto my God<S>430</S>: And he heard<S>8085</S> my voice<S>6963</S> out of his temple<S>1964</S>, And my cry<S>7775</S> came into his ears<S>241</S>.


text:
Then the earth<S>776</S> shook<S>1607</S> and trembled<S>7493</S>, The foundations<S>4146</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> quaked<S>7264</S> And were shaken<S>1607</S>, because he was wroth<S>2734</S>.


text:
There went up<S>5927</S> a smoke<S>6227</S> out of his nostrils<S>639</S>, And fire<S>784</S> out of his mouth<S>6310</S> devoured<S>398</S>: Coals<S>1513</S> were kindled by it<S>1197</S>.


text:
Now these are the last<S>314</S> words<S>1697</S> of David<S>1732</S>. David<S>1732</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> saith<S>5002</S>, And the man<S>1397</S> who was raised<S>6965</S> on high<S>5920</S> saith<S>5002</S>, The anointed<S>4899</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Jacob<S>3290</S>, And the sweet<S>5273</S> psalmist<S>2158</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>:


text:
He arose<S>6965</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> until<S>3588</S> his hand<S>3027</S> was weary<S>3021</S>, and his hand<S>3027</S> clave<S>1692</S> unto the sword<S>2719</S>; and Jehovah<S>3068</S> wrought<S>6213</S> a great<S>1419</S> victory<S>8668</S> that day<S>3117</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> returned<S>7725</S> after<S>310</S> him only to take spoil<S>6584</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> him was Shammah<S>8048</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Agee<S>89</S> a Hararite<S>2043</S>. And the Philistines<S>6430</S> were gathered together<S>622</S> into a troop<S>2416</S>, where was a plot<S>2513</S> of ground<S>7704</S> full<S>4392</S> of lentils<S>5742</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> fled<S>5127</S> from<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
But he stood<S>3320</S> in the midst<S>8432</S> of the plot<S>2513</S>, and defended<S>5337</S> it<S>5221</S>, and slew the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and Jehovah<S>3068</S> wrought<S>6213</S> a great<S>1419</S> victory<S>8668</S>.


text:
And three<S>7969</S> of the thirty<S>7970</S> chief<S>7218</S> men went down<S>3381</S>, and came<S>935</S> to David<S>1732</S> in the harvest time<S>7105</S> unto the cave<S>4631</S> of Adullam<S>5725</S>; and the troop<S>2416</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> was encamped<S>2583</S> in the valley<S>6010</S> of Rephaim<S>7497</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> was then in the stronghold<S>4686</S>; and the garrison<S>4673</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> was then in Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> longed<S>183</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Oh that one would give me water<S>4325</S> to drink<S>8248</S> of the well<S>953</S> of Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>, which is by the gate<S>8179</S>!


text:
And the three<S>7969</S> mighty men<S>1368</S> brake through<S>1234</S> the host<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and drew<S>7579</S> water<S>4325</S> out of the well<S>953</S> of Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>, that was by the gate<S>8179</S>, and took<S>5375</S> it<S>935</S>, and brought it to David<S>1732</S>: but he would<S>14</S> not drink<S>8354</S> thereof<S>5258</S>, but poured it out unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Be it far<S>2486</S> from me<S>3068</S>, O Jehovah, that I should do<S>6213</S> this<S>1818</S>: shall I drink the blood of the men<S>582</S> that went<S>1980</S> in jeopardy of their lives<S>5315</S>? therefore he would<S>14</S> not drink<S>8354</S> it<S>6213</S>. These things did the three<S>7969</S> mighty men<S>1368</S>.


text:
And Abishai<S>52</S>, the brother<S>251</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, was chief<S>7218</S> of the three<S>7992</S>. And he lifted up<S>5782</S> his spear<S>2595</S> against three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and slew<S>2491</S> them<S>8034</S>, and had a name among the three<S>7969</S>.


text:
Was he not most honorable<S>3513</S> of the three<S>7969</S>? therefore he was made their captain<S>8269</S>: howbeit he attained<S>935</S> not unto the first three<S>7969</S>.


text:
The Spirit<S>7307</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> spake<S>1696</S> by me<S>4405</S>, And his word was upon my tongue<S>3956</S>.


text:
And Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of a valiant<S>2428</S> man<S>376</S> of Kabzeel<S>6909</S>, who had done mighty<S>7227</S> deeds<S>6467</S>, he slew<S>5221</S> the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>739</S> of Ariel of Moab<S>4124</S>: he went down<S>3381</S> also and slew<S>5221</S> a lion<S>738</S> in the midst<S>8432</S> of a pit<S>953</S> in time<S>3117</S> of snow<S>7950</S>.


text:
And he slew<S>2026</S> an Egyptian<S>4713</S>, a goodly<S>4758</S> man<S>376</S>: and the Egyptian<S>4713</S> had a spear<S>2595</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>; but he went down<S>3381</S> to him with a staff<S>7626</S>, and plucked<S>1497</S> the spear<S>2595</S> out of the Egyptian<S>4713</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>, and slew<S>5221</S> him with his own spear<S>2595</S>.


text:
These things did<S>6213</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>, and had a name<S>8034</S> among the three<S>7969</S> mighty men<S>1368</S>.


text:
He was more honorable<S>3513</S> than the thirty<S>7970</S>, but he attained<S>935</S> not to the first three<S>7969</S>. And David<S>1732</S> set<S>7760</S> him over his guard<S>4928</S>.


text:
Asahel<S>6214</S> the brother<S>251</S> of Joab<S>3097</S> was one of the thirty<S>7970</S>; Elhanan<S>445</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Dodo<S>1734</S> of Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>,

text:
The God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, The Rock<S>6697</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> spake<S>1696</S> to me<S>4910</S>: One that ruleth over men<S>120</S> righteously<S>6662</S>, That ruleth<S>4910</S> in the fear<S>3374</S> of God<S>430</S>,

text:
He shall be as the light<S>216</S> of the morning<S>1242</S>, when the sun<S>8121</S> riseth<S>2224</S>, A morning<S>1242</S> without<S>3808</S> clouds<S>5645</S>, When the tender grass<S>1877</S> springeth out of the earth<S>776</S>, Through clear shining<S>5051</S> after rain<S>4306</S>.

Verily my house<S>1004</S> is not so with God<S>410</S>; Yet he hath made<S>7760</S> with me an everlasting<S>5769</S> covenant<S>1285</S>, Ordered<S>6186</S> in all things<S>8104</S>, and sure: For it is all my salvation<S>3468</S>, and all my desire<S>2656</S>, Although he maketh it not to grow<S>6779</S>.

These are the names<S>8034</S> of the mighty men<S>1368</S> whom David<S>1732</S> had<S>7675</S>: Josheb-basshebeth<S>3427</S> a Tahchemonite<S>8461</S>, chief<S>7218</S> of the captains<S>7991</S>; the same was Adino<S>5722</S> the Eznite<S>6112</S>, against eight<S>8083</S> hundred<S>3967</S> slain<S>2491</S> at one<S>259</S> time<S>6471</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> him was Eleazar<S>499</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Dodai<S>1734</S> the son of an Ahohite<S>266</S>, one of the three<S>7969</S> mighty men<S>1368</S> with David<S>1732</S>, when they defied<S>2778</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> that were there gathered together<S>622</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, and the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gone away<S>5927</S>.


text:
And again<S>3254</S> the anger<S>639</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and he moved<S>5496</S> David<S>1732</S> against them<S>559</S>, saying, Go<S>3212</S>, number<S>4487</S> Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> smote<S>5221</S> him after<S>310</S> that he had numbered<S>5608</S> the people<S>5971</S>. And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, I have sinned<S>2398</S> greatly<S>3966</S> in that which I have done<S>6213</S>: but now<S>3068</S>, O Jehovah, put away<S>5674</S>, I beseech thee<S>5771</S>, the iniquity of thy servant<S>5650</S>; for I have done very<S>3966</S> foolishly<S>5528</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> rose up<S>6965</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came unto the prophet<S>5030</S> Gad<S>1410</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s seer<S>2374</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Go<S>1980</S> and speak<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Thus saith<S>1696</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, I offer<S>5190</S> thee three<S>7969</S> things<S>977</S>: choose thee one<S>259</S> of them<S>6213</S>, that I may do it unto thee.


text:
So Gad<S>1410</S> came<S>935</S> to David<S>1732</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, and said unto him<S>7651</S>, Shall seven years<S>8141</S> of famine<S>7458</S> come<S>935</S> unto thee in thy land<S>776</S>? or wilt thou flee<S>5127</S> three<S>7969</S> months<S>2320</S> before<S>6440</S> thy foes<S>6862</S> while they pursue<S>7291</S> thee<S>7969</S>? or shall there be three days<S>3117</S>' pestilence<S>1698</S> in thy land<S>776</S>? now advise<S>3045</S> thee<S>7200</S>, and consider what answer<S>1697</S> I shall return<S>7725</S> to him that sent me<S>7971</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Gad<S>1410</S>, I am in a great<S>3966</S> strait<S>6887</S>: let us fall<S>5307</S> now into the hand<S>3027</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; for his mercies<S>7356</S> are great<S>7227</S>; and let me not fall<S>5307</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of man<S>120</S>.


text:
So Jehovah<S>3068</S> sent<S>5414</S> a pestilence<S>1698</S> upon Israel<S>3478</S> from the morning<S>1242</S> even to the time<S>6256</S> appointed<S>4150</S>; and there died<S>4191</S> of the people<S>5971</S> from Dan<S>1835</S> even to Beer-sheba<S>884</S> seventy<S>7657</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And when the angel<S>4397</S> stretched out<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S> toward Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to destroy<S>7843</S> it<S>3068</S>, Jehovah repented<S>5162</S> him of the evil<S>7451</S>, and said<S>559</S> to the angel<S>4397</S> that destroyed<S>7843</S> the people<S>5971</S>, It is enough<S>7227</S>; now stay<S>7503</S> thy hand<S>3027</S>. And the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was by the threshing-floor<S>1637</S> of Araunah<S>728</S> the Jebusite<S>2983</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> spake<S>559</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> when he saw<S>7200</S> the angel<S>4397</S> that smote<S>5221</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Lo<S>2398</S>, I have sinned, and I have done perversely<S>5753</S>; but these sheep<S>6629</S>, what have they done<S>6213</S>? let thy hand<S>3027</S>, I pray thee<S>1</S>, be against me, and against my father's house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Gad<S>1410</S> came<S>935</S> that day<S>3117</S> to David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5927</S>, Go up, rear<S>6965</S> an altar<S>4196</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> in the threshing-floor<S>1637</S> of Araunah<S>728</S> the Jebusite<S>2983</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> went up<S>5927</S> according to the saying<S>1697</S> of Gad<S>1410</S>, as Jehovah<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Joab<S>3097</S> the captain<S>8269</S> of the host<S>2428</S>, who was with him<S>7751</S>, Go now to and fro through all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, from Dan<S>1835</S> even to Beer-sheba<S>884</S>, and number<S>6485</S> ye the people<S>5971</S>, that I may know<S>3045</S> the sum<S>4557</S> of the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And Araunah<S>728</S> looked<S>8259</S> forth<S>7200</S>, and saw the king<S>4428</S> and his servants<S>5650</S> coming on<S>5674</S> toward him<S>728</S>: and Araunah went out<S>3318</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> himself before the king<S>4428</S> with his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
And Araunah<S>728</S> said<S>559</S>, Wherefore is my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> come<S>935</S> to his servant<S>5650</S>? And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, To buy<S>7069</S> the threshing-floor<S>1637</S> of thee<S>1129</S>, to build an altar<S>4196</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, that the plague<S>4046</S> may be stayed<S>6113</S> from the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And Araunah<S>728</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Let my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> take<S>3947</S> and offer up<S>5927</S> what seemeth good<S>2896</S> unto him<S>5869</S>: behold<S>7200</S>, the oxen<S>1241</S> for the burnt-offering<S>5930</S>, and the threshing instruments<S>4173</S> and the yokes<S>3627</S> of the oxen<S>1241</S> for the wood<S>6086</S>:


text:
all this<S>4428</S>, O king, doth Araunah<S>728</S> give<S>5414</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>. And Araunah<S>728</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S> accept thee<S>7521</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Araunah<S>728</S>, Nay<S>7069</S>; but I will verily buy<S>7069</S> it of thee at a price<S>4242</S>. Neither will I offer<S>5927</S> burnt-offerings<S>5930</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S> which cost me nothing<S>2600</S>. So David<S>1732</S> bought<S>7069</S> the threshing-floor<S>1637</S> and the oxen<S>1241</S> for fifty<S>2572</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of silver<S>3701</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> built<S>1129</S> there an altar<S>4196</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> burnt-offerings<S>5930</S> and peace-offerings<S>5930</S>. So Jehovah<S>3068</S> was entreated<S>6279</S> for the land<S>776</S>, and the plague<S>4046</S> was stayed<S>6113</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Now Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S> add<S>3254</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, how many soever<S>1992</S> they may be<S>3967</S>, a hundredfold; and may the eyes<S>5869</S> of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> see<S>7200</S> it<S>113</S>: but why doth my lord the king<S>4428</S> delight<S>2654</S> in this thing<S>1697</S>?


text:
Notwithstanding<S>4428</S>, the king's word<S>1697</S> prevailed<S>2388</S> against Joab<S>3097</S>, and against the captains<S>8269</S> of the host<S>2428</S>. And Joab<S>3097</S> and the captains<S>8269</S> of the host<S>2428</S> went out<S>3318</S> from the presence<S>6440</S> of the king<S>4428</S>, to number<S>6485</S> the people<S>5971</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And they passed over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Aroer<S>6177</S>, on the right side<S>3225</S> of the city<S>5892</S> that is in the middle<S>8432</S> of the valley<S>5158</S> of Gad<S>1410</S>, and unto Jazer<S>3270</S>:


text:
then they came<S>935</S> to Gilead<S>1568</S>, and to the land<S>776</S> of Tahtim-hodshi<S>8483</S>; and they came<S>935</S> to Dan-jaan<S>1842</S>, and round about<S>5439</S> to Sidon<S>6721</S>,


text:
and came<S>935</S> to the stronghold<S>4013</S> of Tyre<S>6865</S>, and to all the cities<S>5892</S> of the Hivites<S>2340</S>, and of the Canaanites<S>3669</S>; and they went out<S>3318</S> to the south<S>5045</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, at Beer-sheba<S>884</S>.


text:
So when they had gone<S>7751</S> to and from through all the land<S>776</S>, they came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> at the end<S>7097</S> of nine<S>8672</S> months<S>2320</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> gave up<S>5414</S> the sum<S>4557</S> of the numbering<S>4662</S> of the people<S>5971</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>: and there were in Israel<S>3478</S> eight<S>8083</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> valiant<S>2428</S> men<S>376</S> that drew<S>8025</S> the sword<S>2719</S>; and the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> were five<S>2568</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
Now there was long<S>752</S> war<S>4421</S> between the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> and the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and David<S>1732</S> waxed<S>1980</S> stronger<S>2390</S> and stronger<S>2390</S>, but the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> waxed<S>1980</S> weaker<S>1800</S> and weaker<S>1800</S>.


text:
to transfer<S>5674</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and to set up<S>6965</S> the throne<S>3678</S> of David<S>1732</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> and over Judah<S>3063</S>, from Dan<S>1835</S> even to Beer-sheba<S>884</S>.


text:
And he could<S>3201</S> not answer<S>7725</S> Abner<S>74</S> another word<S>1697</S>, because he feared him<S>3372</S>.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to David<S>1732</S> on his behalf<S>559</S>, saying, Whose is the land<S>776</S>? saying<S>559</S> also<S>3772</S>, Make thy league<S>1285</S> with me<S>3027</S>, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee<S>5437</S>, to bring about all Israel unto thee<S>3478</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Well<S>2896</S>; I will make<S>3772</S> a league<S>1285</S> with thee<S>259</S>; but one thing<S>1697</S> I require<S>7592</S> of thee<S>559</S>: that is, thou shalt not see<S>7200</S> my face<S>6440</S>, except thou first<S>6440</S> bring<S>935</S> Michal<S>4324</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S>, when thou comest<S>935</S> to see<S>7200</S> my face<S>6440</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Ish-bosheth<S>378</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Deliver<S>5414</S> me my wife<S>802</S> Michal<S>4324</S>, whom I betrothed<S>781</S> to me for a hundred<S>3967</S> foreskins<S>6190</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And Ish-bosheth<S>378</S> sent<S>7971</S>, and took<S>3947</S> her from her husband<S>376</S>, even from Paltiel<S>6409</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Laish<S>3889</S>.


text:
And her husband<S>376</S> went<S>3212</S> with her<S>1980</S>, weeping as he went<S>310</S>, and followed her to Bahurim<S>980</S>. Then said<S>559</S> Abner<S>74</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Go, return<S>7725</S>: and he returned<S>7725</S>.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> had communication<S>1961</S> with the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, In times<S>8543</S> past<S>8032</S> ye sought<S>1245</S> for David<S>1732</S> to be king over you<S>4428</S>:


text:
now then do<S>6213</S> it<S>3068</S>; for Jehovah hath spoken<S>559</S> of David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, By the hand<S>3027</S> of my servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> I will save<S>3467</S> my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and out of the hand<S>3027</S> of all their enemies<S>341</S>.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> also spake<S>1696</S> in the ears<S>241</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>: and Abner<S>74</S> went<S>3212</S> also to speak<S>1696</S> in the ears<S>241</S> of David<S>1732</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S> all that seemed<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S> to Israel<S>3478</S>, and<S>5869</S> to the whole house<S>1004</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>.


text:
And unto David<S>1732</S> were sons<S>1121</S> born<S>3205</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S>: and his first-born<S>1060</S> was Amnon<S>550</S>, of Ahinoam<S>293</S> the Jezreelitess<S>3159</S>;


text:
So Abner<S>74</S> came<S>935</S> to David<S>1732</S> to Hebron<S>2275</S>, and twenty<S>6242</S> men<S>582</S> with him<S>1732</S>. And David made<S>6213</S> Abner<S>74</S> and the men<S>582</S> that were with him a feast<S>4960</S>.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, I will arise<S>6965</S> and go<S>3212</S>, and will gather<S>6908</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> unto my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, that they may make<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with thee<S>4427</S>, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul<S>5315</S> desireth<S>183</S>. And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> Abner<S>74</S> away<S>7971</S>; and he went<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
And<S>5650</S>, behold, the servants of David<S>1732</S> and Joab<S>3097</S> came<S>935</S> from a foray<S>1416</S>, and brought in<S>935</S> a great<S>7227</S> spoil<S>7998</S> with them<S>74</S>: but Abner was not with David<S>1732</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S>; for he had sent him away<S>7971</S>, and he was gone<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
When Joab<S>3097</S> and all the host<S>6635</S> that was with him were come<S>935</S>, they told<S>5046</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and he hath sent him away<S>7971</S>, and he is gone<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
Then Joab<S>3097</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, What hast thou done<S>6213</S>? behold<S>74</S>, Abner came<S>935</S> unto thee<S>7971</S>; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite<S>1980</S> gone<S>3212</S>?


text:
Thou knowest<S>3045</S> Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, that he came<S>935</S> to deceive<S>6601</S> thee<S>3045</S>, and to know thy going out<S>4161</S> and thy coming in<S>4126</S>, and to know<S>3045</S> all that thou doest<S>6213</S>.


text:
And when Joab<S>3097</S> was come out<S>3318</S> from David<S>1732</S>, he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> after<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>, and they brought him back<S>7725</S> from the well<S>953</S> of Sirah<S>5626</S>: but David<S>1732</S> knew it not<S>3045</S>.

And when Abner<S>74</S> was returned<S>7725</S> to Hebron<S>2275</S>, Joab<S>3097</S> took him aside<S>5186</S> into the midst<S>413</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> to speak<S>1696</S> with him quietly<S>7987</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> him there in the body<S>2570</S>, so that he died<S>4191</S>, for the blood<S>1818</S> of Asahel<S>6214</S> his brother<S>251</S>.


text:
And afterward<S>310</S>, when David<S>1732</S> heard<S>8085</S> it<S>559</S>, he said, I and my kingdom<S>4467</S> are guiltless<S>5355</S> before Jehovah<S>3068</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S> of the blood<S>1818</S> of Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>:


text:
let it fall<S>2342</S> upon the head<S>7218</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>, and upon all his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; and let there not fail<S>3772</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of Joab<S>3097</S> one that hath an issue<S>2100</S>, or that is a leper<S>6879</S>, or that leaneth<S>2388</S> on a staff<S>6418</S>, or that falleth<S>5307</S> by the sword<S>2719</S>, or that lacketh<S>2638</S> bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
and his second<S>4932</S>, Chileab<S>3609</S>, of Abigail<S>26</S> the wife<S>802</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S> the Carmelite<S>3761</S>; and the third<S>7992</S>, Absalom<S>53</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Maacah<S>4601</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Talmai<S>8526</S> king<S>4428</S> of Geshur<S>1650</S>;


text:
So Joab<S>3097</S> and Abishai<S>52</S> his brother<S>251</S> slew<S>2026</S> Abner<S>74</S>, because he had killed<S>4191</S> their brother<S>251</S> Asahel<S>6214</S> at Gibeon<S>1391</S> in the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, and to all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>7167</S>, Rend your clothes<S>899</S>, and gird<S>2296</S> you with sackcloth<S>8242</S>, and mourn<S>5594</S> before<S>6440</S> Abner<S>74</S>. And king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> followed<S>1980</S> the bier<S>4296</S>.


text:
And they buried<S>6912</S> Abner<S>74</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> lifted up<S>5375</S> his voice<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> at the grave<S>6913</S> of Abner<S>74</S>; and all the people<S>5971</S> wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> lamented<S>6969</S> for Abner<S>74</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Should Abner<S>74</S> die<S>4191</S> as a fool<S>5036</S> dieth<S>4191</S>?


text:
Thy hands<S>3027</S> were not bound<S>631</S>, nor thy feet<S>7272</S> put<S>5066</S> into fetters<S>5178</S>: As a man falleth<S>5307</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of iniquity<S>5766</S>, so didst thou fall<S>5307</S>. And all the people<S>5971</S> wept<S>1058</S> again over him<S>3254</S>.


text:
And all<S>3605</S> the people<S>5971</S> came<S>935</S> to cause<S>1262</S> David<S>1732</S> to eat<S>1262</S> bread<S>3899</S> while it was yet<S>5750</S> day<S>3117</S>; but David<S>1732</S> sware<S>7650</S>, saying<S>559</S>, God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so to me<S>3254</S>, and more also, if I taste<S>2938</S> bread<S>3899</S>, or aught<S>3972</S> else<S>6440</S>, till the sun<S>8121</S> be down<S>935</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> took notice<S>5234</S> of it<S>3190</S>, and it pleased them<S>4428</S>; as whatsoever the king did<S>6213</S> pleased<S>5869</S> all the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
So all the people<S>5971</S> and all Israel<S>3478</S> understood<S>3045</S> that day<S>3117</S> that it was not of the king<S>4428</S> to slay<S>4191</S> Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, Know<S>3045</S> ye not that there is a prince<S>8269</S> and a great man<S>1419</S> fallen<S>5307</S> this day<S>3117</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
And I am this day<S>3117</S> weak<S>7390</S>, though anointed<S>4886</S> king<S>4428</S>; and these men<S>582</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> are too hard<S>7186</S> for me<S>3068</S>: Jehovah reward<S>7999</S> the evil-doer<S>6213</S> according to his wickedness<S>6213</S>.


text:
and the fourth<S>7243</S>, Adonijah<S>138</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Haggith<S>2294</S>; and the fifth<S>2549</S>, Shephatiah<S>8203</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Abital<S>37</S>;


text:
and the sixth<S>8345</S>, Ithream<S>3507</S>, of Eglah<S>5698</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s wife<S>802</S>. These were born<S>3205</S> to David<S>1732</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4421</S>, while there was war between the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> and the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, that Abner<S>74</S> made himself strong<S>2388</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
Now Saul<S>7586</S> had a concubine<S>6370</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Rizpah<S>7532</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Aiah<S>345</S>: and Ish-bosheth<S>559</S> said to Abner<S>74</S>, Wherefore hast thou gone in<S>935</S> unto my father<S>1</S>'s concubine<S>6370</S>?


text:
Then was Abner<S>74</S> very<S>3966</S> wroth<S>2734</S> for the words<S>1697</S> of Ish-bosheth<S>378</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Am I a dog<S>3611</S>'s head<S>7218</S> that belongeth to Judah<S>3063</S>? This day<S>3117</S> do I show<S>6213</S> kindness<S>2617</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> thy father<S>1</S>, to his brethren<S>251</S>, and to his friends<S>4828</S>, and have not delivered<S>4672</S> thee into the hand<S>3027</S> of David<S>1732</S>; and yet thou chargest<S>6485</S> me this day<S>3117</S> with a fault<S>5771</S> concerning this woman<S>802</S>.


text:
God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so to Abner<S>74</S>, and more also<S>3254</S>, if<S>3068</S>, as Jehovah hath sworn<S>7650</S> to David<S>1732</S>, I do not even so to him<S>6213</S>;


text:
And when Ish-bosheth<S>7586</S>, Saul's son<S>1121</S>, heard<S>8085</S> that Abner<S>74</S> was dead<S>4191</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S>, his hands<S>3027</S> became feeble<S>7503</S>, and all the Israelites<S>3478</S> were troubled<S>926</S>.


text:
when one told<S>5046</S> me<S>559</S>, saying, Behold<S>7586</S>, Saul is dead<S>4191</S>, thinking to have brought<S>5869</S> good tidings<S>1319</S>, I took hold<S>270</S> of him<S>2026</S>, and slew him in Ziklag<S>6860</S>, which was the reward I gave<S>5414</S> him for his tidings<S>1309</S>.


text:
How much more<S>7563</S>, when wicked men<S>582</S> have slain<S>2026</S> a righteous<S>6662</S> person<S>376</S> in his own house<S>1004</S> upon his bed<S>4904</S>, shall I not now require<S>1245</S> his blood<S>1818</S> of your hand<S>3027</S>, and take you away<S>1197</S> from the earth<S>776</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> commanded<S>6680</S> his young men<S>5288</S>, and they slew<S>2026</S> them<S>7112</S>, and cut off their hands<S>3027</S> and their feet<S>7272</S>, and hanged them up<S>8518</S> beside the pool<S>1295</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S>. But they took<S>3947</S> the head<S>7218</S> of Ish-bosheth<S>378</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> it in the grave<S>6913</S> of Abner<S>74</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
And Ish-bosheth<S>7586</S>, Saul's son<S>1121</S>, had<S>1961</S> two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S> that were captains<S>8269</S> of bands<S>1416</S>: the name<S>8034</S> of the one<S>259</S> was Baanah<S>1196</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of the other<S>8145</S> Rechab<S>7394</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S> the Beerothite<S>886</S>, of the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> (for Beeroth<S>881</S> also is reckoned<S>2803</S> to Benjamin<S>1144</S>:


text:
and the Beerothites<S>886</S> fled<S>1272</S> to Gittaim<S>1664</S>, and have been sojourners<S>1481</S> there until this day<S>3117</S>).


text:
Now Jonathan<S>3083</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, had a son<S>1121</S> that was lame<S>5223</S> of his feet<S>7272</S>. He was five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when the tidings<S>8052</S> came<S>935</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> out of Jezreel<S>3157</S>; and his nurse<S>539</S> took him up<S>5375</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>: and it came to pass<S>2648</S>, as she made haste to flee<S>5127</S>, that he fell<S>5307</S>, and became lame<S>6452</S>. And his name<S>8034</S> was Mephibosheth<S>4648</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S> the Beerothite<S>886</S>, Rechab<S>7394</S> and Baanah<S>1196</S>, went<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> about the heat<S>2527</S> of the day<S>3117</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Ish-bosheth<S>378</S>, as he took<S>7901</S> his rest<S>4904</S> at noon<S>6672</S>.


text:
And they came thither<S>935</S> into the midst<S>8432</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, as though they would have fetched<S>3947</S> wheat<S>2406</S>; and they smote<S>5221</S> him in the body<S>2570</S>: and Rechab<S>7394</S> and Baanah<S>1196</S> his brother<S>251</S> escaped<S>4422</S>.


text:
Now when they came<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S>, as he lay<S>7901</S> on his bed<S>4296</S> in his bedchamber<S>2315</S>, they smote<S>5221</S> him<S>4191</S>, and slew him<S>5493</S>, and beheaded him<S>3947</S>, and took his head<S>7218</S>, and went<S>3212</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the Arabah<S>6160</S> all night<S>3915</S>.


text:
And they brought<S>935</S> the head<S>7218</S> of Ish-bosheth<S>378</S> unto David<S>1732</S> to Hebron<S>2275</S>, and said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, Behold<S>7218</S>, the head of Ish-bosheth<S>378</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, thine enemy<S>341</S>, who sought<S>1245</S> thy life<S>5315</S>; and Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath<S>5414</S> avenged<S>5360</S> my lord<S>3068</S> the king<S>4428</S> this day<S>3117</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and of his seed<S>2233</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> answered<S>6030</S> Rechab<S>7394</S> and Baanah<S>1196</S> his brother<S>251</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S> the Beerothite<S>886</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3068</S>, As Jehovah liveth<S>2416</S>, who hath redeemed<S>6299</S> my soul<S>5315</S> out of all adversity<S>6869</S>,


text:
Then came<S>935</S> all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to David<S>1732</S> unto Hebron<S>2275</S>, and spake<S>559</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>6106</S>, we are thy bone and thy flesh<S>1320</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> waxed<S>3212</S> greater<S>1419</S> and greater<S>1980</S>; for Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>, was with him.


text:
And Hiram<S>2438</S> king<S>4428</S> of Tyre<S>6865</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to David<S>1732</S>, and<S>730</S> cedar-trees<S>6086</S>, and carpenters<S>2796</S>, and masons<S>7023</S>; and they built<S>1129</S> David<S>1732</S> a house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> perceived<S>3045</S> that Jehovah<S>3068</S> had established<S>3559</S> him king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, and that he had exalted<S>5375</S> his kingdom<S>4467</S> for his people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>'s sake.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> him more concubines<S>6370</S> and wives<S>802</S> out of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, after<S>310</S> he was come<S>935</S> from Hebron<S>2275</S>; and there were yet sons<S>1121</S> and daughters<S>1323</S> born<S>3205</S> to David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And these are the names<S>8034</S> of those that were born<S>3209</S> unto him in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: Shammua<S>8051</S>, and Shobab<S>7727</S>, and Nathan<S>5416</S>, and Solomon<S>8010</S>,


text:
And when the Philistines<S>6430</S> heard<S>8085</S> that they had anointed<S>4886</S> David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, all the Philistines<S>6430</S> went up<S>5927</S> to seek<S>1245</S> David<S>1732</S>; and David<S>1732</S> heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>3381</S>, and went down to the stronghold<S>4686</S>.


text:
Now the Philistines<S>6430</S> had come<S>935</S> and spread<S>5203</S> themselves in the valley<S>6010</S> of Rephaim<S>7497</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Shall I go up<S>5927</S> against the Philistines<S>6430</S>? wilt thou deliver<S>5414</S> them into my hand<S>3027</S>? And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Go up<S>5927</S>; for I will certainly<S>5414</S> deliver<S>5414</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> into thy hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
In times past<S>865</S>, when Saul<S>7586</S> was king<S>4428</S> over us<S>3318</S>, it was thou that leddest out and broughtest in<S>935</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: and Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to thee<S>7462</S>, Thou shalt be shepherd of my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and thou shalt be prince<S>5057</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Baal-perazim<S>1188</S>, and David<S>1732</S> smote<S>5221</S> them there<S>559</S>; and he said, Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath broken<S>6555</S> mine enemies<S>341</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>6556</S>, like the breach of waters<S>4325</S>. Therefore he called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of that place<S>4725</S> Baal-perazim<S>1188</S>.


text:
And they left<S>5800</S> their images<S>6091</S> there<S>1732</S>; and David and his men<S>582</S> took them away<S>5375</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> came up<S>5927</S> yet again<S>3254</S>, and spread<S>5203</S> themselves in the valley<S>6010</S> of Rephaim<S>7497</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, he said<S>559</S>, Thou shalt not go up<S>5927</S>: make a circuit<S>5437</S> behind<S>310</S> them<S>935</S>, and come upon them over against<S>4136</S> the mulberry-trees<S>1057</S>.


text:
And it shall be<S>8085</S>, when thou hearest the sound<S>6963</S> of marching<S>6807</S> in the tops<S>7218</S> of the mulberry-trees<S>1057</S>, that then thou shalt bestir<S>2782</S> thyself<S>3068</S>; for then is Jehovah gone out<S>3318</S> before<S>6440</S> thee to smite<S>5221</S> the host<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> did so<S>6213</S>, as Jehovah<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S> him<S>5221</S>, and smote the Philistines<S>6430</S> from Geba<S>1387</S> until thou come<S>935</S> to Gezer<S>1507</S>.


text:
So all the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S> to Hebron<S>2275</S>; and king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with them in Hebron<S>2275</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>: and they anointed<S>4886</S> David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> was thirty<S>7970</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>.

In Hebron<S>2275</S> he reigned<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S> seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> and six<S>8337</S> months<S>2320</S>; and in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> he reigned<S>4427</S> thirty<S>7970</S> and three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> over all Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>3212</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> against the Jebusites<S>2983</S>, the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the land<S>776</S>, who spake<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Except thou take away<S>5493</S> the blind<S>5787</S> and the lame<S>6455</S>, thou shalt not come in<S>935</S> hither<S>559</S>; thinking, David<S>1732</S> cannot come in hither<S>935</S>.


text:
Nevertheless David<S>1732</S> took<S>3920</S> the stronghold<S>4686</S> of Zion<S>6726</S>; the same is the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> on that day<S>3117</S>, Whosoever smiteth<S>5221</S> the Jebusites<S>2983</S>, let him get up<S>5060</S> to the watercourse<S>6794</S>, and smite the lame<S>6455</S> and the blind<S>5787</S>, that are hated<S>8130</S> of David<S>1732</S>'s soul<S>5315</S>. Wherefore they say<S>559</S>, There are the blind<S>5787</S> and the lame<S>6455</S>; he cannot come<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> in the stronghold<S>4686</S>, and called<S>7121</S> it the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>. And David<S>1732</S> built<S>1129</S> round about<S>5439</S> from Millo<S>4407</S> and inward<S>1004</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> again gathered together<S>622</S> all the chosen<S>977</S> men of Israel<S>3478</S>, thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> would<S>14</S> not remove<S>5493</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> unto him into the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>; but David<S>1732</S> carried it aside<S>5186</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Obed-edom<S>5654</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S>.


text:
And the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> remained<S>3427</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Obed-edom<S>5654</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S> three<S>7969</S> months<S>2320</S>: and Jehovah<S>3068</S> blessed<S>1288</S> Obed-edom<S>5654</S>, and all his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath blessed<S>1288</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Obed-edom<S>5654</S>, and all that pertaineth unto him<S>727</S>, because of the ark of God<S>430</S>. And David<S>1732</S> went<S>3212</S> and brought up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of Obed-edom<S>5654</S> into the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> with joy<S>8057</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>5375</S>, that, when they that bare the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> had gone<S>6805</S> six<S>8337</S> paces<S>6806</S>, he sacrificed<S>2076</S> an ox<S>7794</S> and a fatling<S>4806</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> danced<S>3769</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> with all his might<S>5797</S>; and David<S>1732</S> was girded<S>2296</S> with a linen<S>906</S> ephod<S>646</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> and all the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> brought up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> with shouting<S>8643</S>, and with the sound<S>6963</S> of the trumpet<S>7782</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>727</S>, as the ark of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, that Michal<S>4324</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> looked<S>8259</S> out at the window<S>2474</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> leaping<S>6339</S> and dancing<S>3769</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>; and she despised<S>959</S> him in her heart<S>3820</S>.


text:
And they brought<S>935</S> in the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and set<S>3322</S> it in its place<S>4725</S>, in the midst<S>8432</S> of the tent<S>168</S> that David<S>1732</S> had pitched<S>5186</S> for it<S>1732</S>; and David offered<S>5927</S> burnt-offerings<S>5930</S> and peace-offerings<S>5930</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> had made an end<S>3615</S> of offering<S>5927</S> the burnt-offering<S>5927</S> and the peace-offerings<S>5927</S>, he blessed<S>1288</S> the people<S>5971</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>.


text:
And he dealt<S>2505</S> among all the people<S>5971</S>, even among the whole multitude<S>1995</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, both to men<S>376</S> and women<S>802</S>, to every one<S>376</S> a<S>259</S> cake<S>2471</S> of bread<S>3899</S>, and a portion<S>829</S> of flesh<S>809</S>, and a cake of raisins<S>5971</S>. So all the people departed<S>3212</S> every one<S>376</S> to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> with all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>1184</S>, from Baale-judah, to bring up<S>5927</S> from thence the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, which is called<S>7121</S> by the Name<S>8034</S>, even the name<S>8034</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> that sitteth<S>3427</S> above the cherubim<S>3742</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> returned<S>7725</S> to bless<S>1288</S> his household<S>1004</S>. And Michal<S>4324</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> came out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S>, How glorious<S>3513</S> was the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to-day<S>3117</S>, who uncovered<S>1540</S> himself to-day<S>3117</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of the handmaids<S>519</S> of his servants<S>5650</S>, as one<S>259</S> of the vain fellows<S>7386</S> shamelessly<S>1540</S> uncovereth himself<S>1540</S>!


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Michal<S>4324</S>, It was before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, who chose<S>977</S> me above thy father<S>1</S>, and above all his house<S>1004</S>, to appoint<S>6680</S> me prince<S>5057</S> over the people<S>5971</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, over Israel<S>3478</S>: therefore will I play<S>7832</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And I will be yet more vile<S>7043</S> than this<S>2063</S>, and will be base<S>8217</S> in mine own sight<S>5869</S>: but of the handmaids<S>519</S> of whom thou hast spoken<S>559</S>, of them shall I be had in honor<S>3513</S>.


text:
And Michal<S>4324</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> had no child<S>2056</S> unto the day<S>3117</S> of her death<S>4194</S>.


text:
And they set<S>7392</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> upon a new<S>2319</S> cart<S>5699</S>, and brought<S>5375</S> it out of the house<S>1004</S> of Abinadab<S>41</S> that was in the hill<S>1390</S>: and Uzzah<S>5798</S> and Ahio<S>283</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Abinadab<S>41</S>, drove<S>5090</S> the new<S>2319</S> cart<S>5699</S>.


text:
And they brought<S>5375</S> it out of the house<S>1004</S> of Abinadab<S>41</S>, which was in the hill<S>1390</S>, with<S>5973</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>: and Ahio<S>283</S> went<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> the ark<S>727</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> and all the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> played<S>7832</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> with all manner of instruments made of fir-wood<S>1265</S>, <S>6086</S> and with harps<S>3658</S>, and with psalteries<S>5035</S>, and with timbrels<S>8596</S>, and with castanets<S>4517</S>, and with cymbals<S>6767</S>.


text:
And when they came<S>935</S> to the threshing-floor<S>1637</S> of Nacon<S>5225</S>, Uzzah<S>5798</S> put forth<S>7971</S> his hand to the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, and took hold<S>270</S> of it<S>1241</S>; for the oxen stumbled<S>8058</S>.


text:
And the anger<S>639</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Uzzah<S>5798</S>; and God<S>430</S> smote<S>5221</S> him there for his error<S>7944</S>; and there he died<S>4191</S> by the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> was displeased<S>2734</S>, because Jehovah<S>3068</S> had broken<S>6556</S> forth<S>6555</S> upon Uzzah<S>5798</S>; and he called<S>7121</S> that place<S>4725</S> Perez-uzzah<S>6560</S>, unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> was afraid<S>3372</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> that day<S>3117</S>; and he said<S>559</S>, How shall the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> come unto me<S>935</S>?


text:
And it came to pass<S>4428</S>, when the king dwelt<S>3427</S> in his house<S>1004</S>, and Jehovah<S>3068</S> had given him rest<S>5117</S> from all his enemies<S>341</S> round about<S>5439</S>,


text:
And I will appoint<S>7760</S> a place<S>4725</S> for my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and will plant<S>5193</S> them<S>7931</S>, that they may dwell in their own place<S>7264</S>, and be moved no more<S>1121</S>; neither shall the children of wickedness<S>5766</S> afflict<S>6031</S> them any more<S>3254</S>, as at the first<S>7223</S>,


text:
and as from the day<S>3117</S> that I commanded<S>6680</S> judges<S>8199</S> to be over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and I will cause thee to rest<S>5117</S> from all thine enemies<S>341</S>. Moreover Jehovah<S>3068</S> telleth<S>5046</S> thee that Jehovah will make<S>6213</S> thee a house<S>1004</S>.


text:
When thy days<S>3117</S> are fulfilled<S>4390</S>, and thou shalt sleep<S>7901</S> with thy fathers<S>1</S>, I will set up<S>6965</S> thy seed<S>2233</S> after<S>310</S> thee<S>3318</S>, that shall proceed out of thy bowels<S>4578</S>, and I will establish<S>3559</S> his kingdom<S>4467</S>.


text:
He shall build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> for my name<S>8034</S>, and I will establish<S>3559</S> the throne<S>3678</S> of his kingdom<S>4467</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
I will be his father<S>1</S>, and he shall be my son<S>1121</S>: if he commit iniquity<S>5753</S>, I will chasten<S>3198</S> him with the rod<S>7626</S> of men<S>582</S>, and with the stripes<S>5061</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of men<S>120</S>;


text:
but my lovingkindness<S>2617</S> shall not depart from<S>5493</S> him<S>5493</S>, as I took it from Saul<S>7586</S>, whom I put away<S>5493</S> before thee<S>6440</S>.


text:
And thy house<S>1004</S> and thy kingdom<S>4467</S> shall be made<S>539</S> sure for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S> before<S>6440</S> thee<S>3678</S>: thy throne shall be established<S>3559</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
According to all these words<S>1697</S>, and according to all this vision<S>2384</S>, so did Nathan<S>5416</S> speak<S>1696</S> unto David<S>1732</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> the king<S>4428</S> went<S>935</S> in<S>3427</S>, and sat before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>; and he said<S>559</S>, Who am I<S>136</S>, O Lord Jehovah<S>3069</S>, and what is my house<S>1004</S>, that thou hast brought<S>935</S> me thus far<S>1988</S>?


text:
And this was yet a small thing<S>6994</S> in thine eyes<S>5869</S>, O Lord<S>136</S> Jehovah<S>3069</S>; but thou hast spoken<S>1696</S> also of thy servant<S>5650</S>'s house<S>1004</S> for a great while to come<S>7350</S>; and this too after the manner<S>8452</S> of men<S>120</S>, O Lord<S>136</S> Jehovah<S>3069</S>!


text:
that the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, See<S>7200</S> now<S>3427</S>, I dwell in a house<S>1004</S> of cedar<S>730</S>, but the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> dwelleth<S>3427</S> within<S>8432</S> curtains<S>3407</S>.


text:
And what can<S>3254</S> David<S>1732</S> say<S>1696</S> more<S>3254</S> unto thee<S>3045</S>? for thou knowest thy servant<S>5650</S>, O Lord<S>136</S> Jehovah<S>3069</S>.


text:
For thy word<S>1697</S>'s sake<S>3820</S>, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought<S>6213</S> all this greatness<S>1420</S>, to make thy servant<S>5650</S> know it<S>3045</S>.


text:
Wherefore thou art great<S>1431</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>: for there is none like thee<S>430</S>, neither is there any God besides<S>2108</S> thee<S>8085</S>, according to all that we have heard with our ears<S>241</S>.


text:
And what one<S>259</S> nation<S>1471</S> in the earth<S>776</S> is like thy people<S>5971</S>, even like Israel<S>3478</S>, whom God<S>430</S> went<S>1980</S> to redeem<S>6299</S> unto himself for a people<S>5971</S>, and to make<S>7760</S> him a name<S>8034</S>, and to do<S>6213</S> great things<S>1420</S> for you<S>3372</S>, and terrible things for thy land<S>776</S>, before<S>6440</S> thy people<S>5971</S>, whom thou redeemest<S>6299</S> to thee out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, from the nations<S>1471</S> and their gods<S>430</S>?


text:
And thou didst establish<S>3559</S> to thyself thy people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> to be a people<S>5971</S> unto thee for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>; and thou<S>3068</S>, Jehovah, becamest<S>1961</S> their God<S>430</S>.


text:
And now<S>3068</S>, O Jehovah God<S>430</S>, the word<S>1697</S> that thou hast spoken<S>1696</S> concerning thy servant<S>5650</S>, and concerning his house<S>1004</S>, confirm<S>6965</S> thou it for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>, and do<S>6213</S> as thou hast spoken<S>1696</S>.


text:
And let thy name<S>8034</S> be magnified<S>1431</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> is God<S>430</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>; and the house<S>1004</S> of thy servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> shall be established<S>3559</S> before thee<S>6440</S>.


text:
For thou<S>3068</S>, O Jehovah of hosts<S>6635</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, hast revealed<S>1540</S> to thy servant<S>5650</S>, saying<S>559</S>, I will build<S>1129</S> thee a house<S>1004</S>: therefore hath thy servant<S>5650</S> found<S>4672</S> in his heart<S>3820</S> to pray<S>6419</S> this prayer unto thee<S>8605</S>.


text:
And now<S>136</S>, O Lord Jehovah<S>3069</S>, thou art God<S>430</S>, and thy words<S>1697</S> are truth<S>571</S>, and thou hast promised<S>1696</S> this good<S>2896</S> thing unto thy servant<S>5650</S>:


text:
now therefore let it please<S>2974</S> thee to bless<S>1288</S> the house<S>1004</S> of thy servant<S>5650</S>, that it may continue for ever<S>5769</S> before<S>6440</S> thee<S>136</S>; for thou, O Lord Jehovah<S>3069</S>, hast spoken<S>1696</S> it<S>1293</S>: and with thy blessing let the house<S>1004</S> of thy servant<S>5650</S> be blessed<S>1288</S> for ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And Nathan<S>5416</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, do<S>6213</S> all that is in thy heart<S>3824</S>; for Jehovah is with thee<S>3068</S>.


text:
And it came to pass the same night<S>3915</S>, that the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came unto Nathan<S>5416</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Go<S>3212</S> and tell<S>559</S> my servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Shalt thou build<S>1129</S> me a house<S>1004</S> for me to dwell in<S>3427</S>?


text:
for I have not dwelt<S>3427</S> in a house<S>1004</S> since the day<S>3117</S> that I brought up<S>5927</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, even to this day<S>3117</S>, but have walked<S>1980</S> in a tent<S>168</S> and in a tabernacle<S>4908</S>.

In all places wherein I have walked<S>1980</S> with all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, spake<S>1696</S> I a word<S>1697</S> with any<S>259</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, whom I commanded<S>6680</S> to be shepherd<S>7462</S> of my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Why have ye not built<S>1129</S> me a house<S>1004</S> of cedar<S>730</S>?


text:
Now therefore thus shalt thou say<S>559</S> unto my servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>, I took<S>3947</S> thee from the sheepcote<S>5116</S>, from following<S>310</S> the sheep<S>6629</S>, that thou shouldest be prince<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S>, over Israel<S>3478</S>;


text:
and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest<S>1980</S>, and have cut off<S>3772</S> all thine enemies<S>341</S> from before thee<S>6440</S>; and I will make<S>6213</S> thee a great<S>1419</S> name<S>8034</S>, like unto the name<S>8034</S> of the great<S>1419</S> ones that are in the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> this it came to pass<S>1732</S>, that David smote<S>5221</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and subdued<S>3665</S> them<S>1732</S>: and David took<S>3947</S> the bridle<S>4965</S> of the mother city out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
then Toi<S>8583</S> sent<S>7971</S> Joram<S>3141</S> his son<S>1121</S> unto king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>, to salute<S>7592</S> him<S>1288</S>, and to bless him<S>3898</S>, because he had fought against Hadadezer<S>1909</S> and smitten<S>5221</S> him<S>1909</S>: for Hadadezer had wars<S>376</S> with Toi<S>8583</S>. And Joram brought with him<S>3027</S> vessels<S>3627</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and vessels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and vessels<S>3627</S> of brass<S>5178</S>:


text:
These also did king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> dedicate<S>6942</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, with the silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S> that he dedicated<S>6942</S> of all the nations<S>1471</S> which he subdued<S>3533</S>;


text:
of Syria<S>758</S>, and of Moab<S>4124</S>, and of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and of Amalek<S>6002</S>, and of the spoil<S>7998</S> of Hadadezer<S>1909</S>, son<S>1121</S> of Rehob<S>7340</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Zobah<S>6678</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> gat<S>6213</S> him a name<S>8034</S> when he returned<S>7725</S> from smiting<S>5221</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> in the Valley<S>1516</S> of Salt<S>4417</S>, even eighteen<S>8083</S> thousand men<S>505</S>.


text:
And he put<S>7760</S> garrisons<S>5333</S> in Edom<S>123</S>; throughout all Edom<S>123</S> put<S>7760</S> he garrisons<S>5333</S>, and all the Edomites<S>123</S> became servants<S>5650</S> to David<S>1732</S>. And Jehovah<S>3068</S> gave victory<S>3467</S> to David<S>1732</S> whithersoever he went<S>1980</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over all Israel<S>3478</S>; and David<S>1732</S> executed<S>6213</S> justice<S>6666</S> and righteousness<S>4941</S> unto all his people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> was over the host<S>6635</S>; and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahilud<S>286</S> was recorder<S>2142</S>;


text:
and Zadok<S>6659</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>, and Ahimelech<S>288</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Abiathar<S>54</S>, were priests<S>3548</S>; and Seraiah<S>8304</S> was scribe<S>5608</S>;


text:
and Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> was over the Cherethites<S>3774</S> and the Pelethites<S>6432</S>; and David<S>1732</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> were chief ministers<S>3548</S>.


text:
And he smote<S>5221</S> Moab<S>4124</S>, and measured<S>4058</S> them with the line<S>2256</S>, making them to lie down<S>7901</S> on the ground<S>776</S>; and he measured<S>4058</S> two<S>8147</S> lines<S>2256</S> to put to death<S>4191</S>, and one full<S>4393</S> line<S>2256</S> to keep alive<S>2421</S>. And the Moabites<S>4124</S> became servants<S>5650</S> to David<S>1732</S>, and brought<S>5375</S> tribute<S>4503</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> smote<S>5221</S> also Hadadezer<S>1909</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Rehob<S>7340</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Zobah<S>6678</S>, as he went<S>3212</S> to recover<S>7725</S> his dominion<S>3027</S> at the<S>6578</S> River<S>5104</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> took<S>3920</S> from him a thousand<S>505</S> and seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>376</S>: and David<S>1732</S> hocked<S>6131</S> all the chariot<S>7393</S> horses<S>3498</S>, but reserved of them for a hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>7393</S>.


text:
And when the Syrians<S>758</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S> came<S>935</S> to succor<S>5826</S> Hadadezer<S>1909</S> king<S>4428</S> of Zobah<S>6678</S>, David<S>1732</S> smote<S>5221</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S> two<S>8147</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> put<S>7760</S> garrisons<S>5333</S> in Syria<S>758</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>; and the Syrians<S>758</S> became servants<S>5650</S> to David<S>1732</S>, and brought<S>5375</S> tribute<S>4503</S>. And Jehovah<S>3068</S> gave victory<S>3467</S> to David<S>1732</S> whithersoever he went<S>1980</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> the shields<S>7982</S> of gold<S>2091</S> that were on the servants<S>5650</S> of Hadadezer<S>1909</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And from Betah<S>984</S> and from Berothai<S>1268</S>, cities<S>5892</S> of Hadadezer<S>1909</S>, king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> exceeding<S>3966</S> much<S>7235</S> brass<S>5178</S>.


text:
And when Toi<S>8583</S> king<S>4428</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S> heard<S>8085</S> that David<S>1732</S> had smitten<S>5221</S> all the host<S>2428</S> of Hadadezer<S>1909</S>,


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, Is there yet<S>3426</S> any that is left<S>3498</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, that I may show<S>6213</S> him kindness<S>2617</S> for Jonathan<S>3083</S>'s sake?


text:
And thou shalt till<S>5647</S> the land<S>127</S> for him<S>1121</S>, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants<S>5650</S>; and thou shalt bring<S>935</S> in the fruits<S>113</S>, that thy master's son<S>1121</S> may have bread<S>3899</S> to eat<S>398</S>: but Mephibosheth<S>4648</S> thy master<S>113</S>'s son<S>1121</S> shall eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> alway<S>8548</S> at my table<S>7979</S>. Now Ziba<S>6717</S> had fifteen<S>2568</S> sons<S>1121</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Ziba<S>6717</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, According to all that my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> commandeth<S>6680</S> his servant<S>5650</S>, so shall thy servant<S>5650</S> do<S>6213</S>. As for Mephibosheth<S>4648</S>, said the king<S>398</S>, he shall eat at my table<S>7979</S>, as one<S>259</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
And Mephibosheth<S>4648</S> had a young<S>6996</S> son<S>1121</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Mica<S>4316</S>. And all that dwelt<S>4186</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Ziba<S>6717</S> were servants<S>5650</S> unto Mephibosheth<S>4648</S>.


text:
So Mephibosheth<S>4648</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; for he did eat<S>398</S> continually<S>8548</S> at the king<S>4428</S>'s table<S>7979</S>. And he was lame<S>6455</S> in both<S>8147</S> his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
And there was of the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> a servant<S>5650</S> whose name<S>8034</S> was Ziba<S>6717</S>, and they called<S>7121</S> him unto David<S>1732</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6717</S>, Art thou Ziba? And he said<S>559</S>, Thy servant is he<S>5650</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Is there not<S>657</S> yet any<S>376</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, that I may show<S>6213</S> the kindness<S>2617</S> of God<S>430</S> unto him<S>6717</S>? And Ziba said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Jonathan<S>3083</S> hath yet a son<S>1121</S>, who is lame<S>5223</S> of his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>375</S>, Where is he<S>6717</S>? And Ziba said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Behold<S>1004</S>, he is in the house of Machir<S>4353</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ammiel<S>5988</S>, in Lo-debar<S>3810</S>.


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S>, and fetched<S>3947</S> him out of the house<S>1004</S> of Machir<S>4353</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ammiel<S>5988</S>, from Lo-debar<S>3810</S>.


text:
And Mephibosheth<S>4648</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, came<S>935</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, and fell<S>5307</S> on his face<S>6440</S>, and did obeisance<S>7812</S>. And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, Mephibosheth<S>4648</S>. And he answered<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5650</S>, thy servant!


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3372</S>, Fear not<S>6213</S>; for I will surely show<S>6213</S> thee kindness<S>2617</S> for Jonathan<S>3083</S> thy father<S>1</S>'s sake<S>7725</S>, and will restore thee all the land<S>7704</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> thy father<S>1</S>; and thou shalt eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> at my table<S>7979</S> continually<S>8548</S>.


text:
And he did obeisance<S>7812</S>, and said<S>559</S>, What is thy servant<S>5650</S>, that thou shouldest look<S>6437</S> upon such a dead<S>4191</S> dog as I am<S>3611</S>?


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> called<S>7121</S> to Ziba<S>6717</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s servant<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1961</S>, All that pertained to Saul<S>7586</S> and to all his house<S>1004</S> have I given<S>5414</S> unto thy master<S>113</S>'s son<S>1121</S>.


text:
Now king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> was old<S>2204</S> and stricken<S>935</S> in years<S>3117</S>; and they covered<S>3680</S> him with clothes<S>899</S>, but he gat no heat<S>3179</S>.


text:
but Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, and Benaiah<S>1141</S>, and the mighty men<S>1368</S>, and Solomon<S>8010</S> his brother<S>251</S>, he called not<S>7121</S>.


text:
Then Nathan<S>5416</S> spake<S>559</S> unto Bath-sheba<S>1339</S> the mother<S>517</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Hast thou not heard<S>8085</S> that Adonijah<S>138</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Haggith<S>2294</S> doth reign<S>4427</S>, and David<S>1732</S> our lord<S>113</S> knoweth it not<S>3045</S>?


text:
Now therefore come<S>3212</S>, let me<S>3289</S>, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save<S>4422</S> thine own life<S>5315</S>, and the life<S>5315</S> of thy son<S>1121</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
Go<S>3212</S> and get thee in<S>935</S> unto king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>, and say<S>559</S> unto him<S>113</S>, Didst not thou, my lord, O king<S>4428</S>, swear<S>7650</S> unto thy handmaid<S>519</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Assuredly<S>3588</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> thy son<S>1121</S> shall reign<S>4427</S> after<S>310</S> me<S>3427</S>, and he shall sit upon my throne<S>3678</S>? why then doth Adonijah<S>138</S> reign<S>4427</S>?


text:
Behold<S>1696</S>, while thou yet talkest there with the king<S>4428</S>, I also will come in<S>935</S> after<S>310</S> thee<S>4390</S>, and confirm thy words<S>1697</S>.


text:
And Bath-sheba<S>1339</S> went in<S>935</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> into the chamber<S>2315</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> was very<S>3966</S> old<S>2204</S>; and Abishag<S>49</S> the Shunammite<S>7767</S> was ministering<S>8334</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And Bath-sheba<S>1339</S> bowed<S>6915</S>, and did obeisance<S>7812</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, What wouldest thou?


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto him<S>113</S>, My lord, thou swarest<S>7650</S> by Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S> unto thy handmaid<S>519</S>, saying<S>8010</S>, Assuredly Solomon thy son<S>1121</S> shall reign<S>4427</S> after<S>310</S> me<S>3427</S>, and he shall sit upon my throne<S>3678</S>.


text:
And now<S>138</S>, behold, Adonijah reigneth<S>4427</S>; and thou<S>113</S>, my lord the king<S>4428</S>, knowest it not<S>3045</S>:


text:
and he hath slain<S>2076</S> oxen<S>7794</S> and fatlings<S>4806</S> and sheep<S>6629</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>, and hath called<S>7121</S> all the sons<S>1121</S> of the king<S>4428</S>, and Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and Joab<S>3097</S> the captain<S>8269</S> of the host<S>6635</S>; but Solomon<S>8010</S> thy servant<S>5650</S> hath he not called<S>7121</S>.


text:
Wherefore his servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1245</S>, Let there be sought for my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> a young<S>5291</S> virgin<S>1330</S>: and let her stand<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and cherish<S>5532</S> him<S>7901</S>; and let her lie in thy bosom<S>2436</S>, that my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> may get heat<S>2552</S>.


text:
And thou<S>113</S>, my lord the king<S>4428</S>, the eyes<S>5869</S> of all Israel<S>3478</S> are upon thee<S>5046</S>, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> after him<S>310</S>.


text:
Otherwise it will come to pass<S>113</S>, when my lord the king<S>4428</S> shall sleep<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, that I and my son<S>1121</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> shall be counted offenders<S>2400</S>.


text:
And<S>1696</S>, lo, while she yet talked with the king<S>4428</S>, Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> came in<S>935</S>.


text:
And they told<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5416</S>, Nathan the prophet<S>5030</S>. And when he was come in<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>, he bowed<S>7812</S> himself before the king<S>4428</S> with his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
And Nathan<S>5416</S> said<S>559</S>, My lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, hast thou said<S>559</S>, Adonijah<S>138</S> shall reign<S>4427</S> after<S>310</S> me<S>3427</S>, and he shall sit upon my throne<S>3678</S>?


text:
For he is gone down<S>3381</S> this day<S>3117</S>, and hath slain<S>2076</S> oxen<S>7794</S> and fatlings<S>4806</S> and sheep<S>6629</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>, and hath called<S>7121</S> all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, and the captains<S>8269</S> of the host<S>6635</S>, and Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S>; and<S>398</S>, behold, they are eating and drinking<S>8354</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>559</S>, and say, Long live<S>2421</S> king<S>4428</S> Adonijah<S>138</S>.


text:
But me<S>5650</S>, even me thy servant, and Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>, and thy servant<S>5650</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, hath he not called<S>7121</S>.

Is this thing<S>1697</S> done<S>1961</S> by my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and thou hast not showed<S>3045</S> unto thy servants<S>5650</S> who should sit<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> after him<S>310</S>?


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Call<S>7121</S> to me Bath-sheba<S>1339</S>. And she came<S>935</S> into the king<S>4428</S>'s presence<S>6440</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> sware<S>7650</S>, and said<S>559</S>, As Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, who hath redeemed<S>6299</S> my soul<S>5315</S> out of all adversity<S>6869</S>,


text:
So they sought<S>1245</S> for a fair<S>3303</S> damsel<S>5291</S> throughout all the borders<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and found<S>4672</S> Abishag<S>49</S> the Shunammite<S>7767</S>, and brought<S>935</S> her to the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
verily as I sware<S>7650</S> unto thee by Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Assuredly Solomon<S>8010</S> thy son<S>1121</S> shall reign<S>4427</S> after<S>310</S> me<S>3427</S>, and he shall sit upon my throne<S>3678</S> in my stead<S>6213</S>; verily so will I do this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then Bath-sheba<S>1339</S> bowed<S>6915</S> with her face<S>639</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and did obeisance<S>7812</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Let my lord<S>113</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> live<S>2421</S> for ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, Call<S>7121</S> to me Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, and Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>. And they came<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3947</S>, Take with you the servants<S>5650</S> of your lord<S>113</S>, and cause Solomon<S>8010</S> my son<S>1121</S> to ride<S>7392</S> upon mine own mule<S>6506</S>, and bring him down<S>3381</S> to Gihon<S>1521</S>:


text:
and let Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S> and Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> anoint<S>4886</S> him there king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>; and blow<S>8628</S> ye the trumpet<S>7782</S>, and say<S>559</S>, Long live<S>2421</S> king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
Then ye shall come up<S>5927</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>935</S>, and he shall come and sit<S>3427</S> upon my throne<S>3678</S>; for he shall be king<S>4427</S> in my stead<S>6680</S>; and I have appointed him to be prince<S>5057</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> and over Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> answered<S>6030</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Amen<S>543</S>: Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, say so too<S>559</S>.


text:
As Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath been with my lord<S>3068</S> the king<S>4428</S>, even so be he with Solomon<S>8010</S>, and make<S>1431</S> his throne<S>3678</S> greater<S>1431</S> than the throne<S>3678</S> of my lord<S>113</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
So Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, and Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>, and the Cherethites<S>3774</S> and the Pelethites<S>6432</S>, went down<S>3381</S>, and caused Solomon<S>8010</S> to ride<S>7392</S> upon king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>'s mule<S>6506</S>, and brought<S>3212</S> him to Gihon<S>1521</S>.


text:
And Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S> took<S>3947</S> the horn<S>7161</S> of oil<S>8081</S> out of the Tent<S>168</S>, and anointed<S>4886</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>. And they blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S>; and all the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S>, Long live<S>2421</S> king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
And the damsel<S>5291</S> was very<S>3966</S> fair<S>3303</S>; and she cherished<S>5532</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and ministered<S>8334</S> to him<S>4428</S>; but the king knew her not<S>3045</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> came up<S>5927</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>5971</S>, and the people piped<S>2490</S> with pipes<S>2485</S>, and rejoiced<S>8056</S> with great<S>1419</S> joy<S>8057</S>, so that the earth<S>776</S> rent<S>1234</S> with the sound of them<S>6963</S>.


text:
And Adonijah<S>138</S> and all the guests<S>7121</S> that were with him heard<S>8085</S> it as they had made an end<S>3615</S> of eating<S>398</S>. And when Joab<S>3097</S> heard<S>8085</S> the sound<S>6963</S> of the trumpet<S>7782</S>, he said<S>559</S>, Wherefore is this noise<S>6963</S> of the city<S>7151</S> being in an uproar<S>1993</S>?


text:
While he yet spake<S>1696</S>, behold<S>3129</S>, Jonathan the son<S>1121</S> of Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S> came<S>935</S>: and Adonijah<S>138</S> said<S>559</S>, Come<S>935</S> in<S>935</S>; for thou art a worthy man<S>376</S>, and bringest<S>1319</S> good<S>2896</S> tidings<S>1319</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3129</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> to Adonijah<S>138</S>, Verily<S>61</S> our lord<S>113</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> hath made Solomon<S>8010</S> king<S>4427</S>:


text:
and the king<S>4428</S> hath sent<S>7971</S> with him Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, and Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>, and the Cherethites<S>3774</S> and the Pelethites<S>6432</S>; and they have caused him to ride<S>7392</S> upon the king<S>4428</S>'s mule<S>6506</S>;


text:
and Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S> and Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> have anointed<S>4886</S> him king<S>4428</S> in Gihon<S>1521</S>; and they are come up<S>5927</S> from thence rejoicing<S>8056</S>, so that the city<S>7151</S> rang again<S>1949</S>. This is the noise<S>6963</S> that ye have heard<S>8085</S>.


text:
And moreover the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> came<S>935</S> to bless<S>1288</S> our lord<S>113</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thy God<S>430</S> make the name<S>8034</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> better<S>3190</S> than thy name<S>8034</S>, and make<S>1431</S> his throne<S>3678</S> greater<S>1431</S> than thy throne<S>3678</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> bowed<S>7812</S> himself upon the bed<S>4904</S>.


text:
And also thus said<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who hath given<S>5414</S> one to sit<S>3427</S> on my throne<S>3678</S> this day<S>3117</S>, mine eyes<S>5869</S> even seeing it<S>7200</S>.


text:
And all the guests<S>7121</S> of Adonijah<S>138</S> were afraid<S>2729</S>, and rose up<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> every man<S>376</S> his way<S>1870</S>.


text:
Then Adonijah<S>138</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Haggith<S>2294</S> exalted<S>4984</S> himself<S>559</S>, saying, I will be king<S>4427</S>: and he prepared<S>6213</S> him chariots<S>7393</S> and horsemen<S>6571</S>, and fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S> to run<S>7323</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And Adonijah<S>138</S> feared<S>3372</S> because<S>6440</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>; and he arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S>, and caught hold<S>2388</S> on the horns<S>7161</S> of the altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>138</S>, Adonijah feareth<S>3372</S> king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>; for<S>270</S>, lo, he hath laid hold on the horns<S>7161</S> of the altar<S>4196</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> swear<S>7650</S> unto me first<S>3117</S> that he will not slay<S>4191</S> his servant<S>5650</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> said<S>559</S>, If he shall show himself a worthy<S>2428</S> man<S>1121</S>, there shall not a hair<S>8185</S> of him fall<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S>; but if wickedness<S>7451</S> be found<S>4672</S> in him<S>4191</S>, he shall die.


text:
So king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> sent<S>7971</S>, and they brought him down<S>3381</S> from the altar<S>4196</S>. And he came<S>935</S> and did obeisance<S>7812</S> to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>; and Solomon<S>8010</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Go to thy house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And his father<S>1</S> had not displeased<S>6087</S> him at any time<S>3117</S> in saying<S>559</S>, Why hast thou done so<S>6213</S>? and he was also a very<S>3966</S> goodly<S>2896</S> man<S>3205</S>; and he was born after<S>310</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And he conferred<S>1697</S> with Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, and with Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S>: and they following<S>310</S> Adonijah<S>138</S> helped him<S>5826</S>.


text:
But Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>, and Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, and Shimei<S>8096</S>, and Rei<S>7472</S>, and the mighty men<S>1368</S> that belonged to David<S>1732</S>, were not with Adonijah<S>138</S>.


text:
And Adonijah<S>138</S> slew<S>2076</S> sheep<S>6629</S> and oxen<S>1241</S> and fatlings<S>4806</S> by the stone<S>68</S> of Zoheleth<S>2120</S>, which is beside<S>681</S> En-rogel<S>5883</S>; and he called<S>7121</S> all his brethren<S>251</S>, the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, and all the men<S>582</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>:


text:
And when the queen<S>4436</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> heard<S>8085</S> of the fame<S>8088</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> concerning the name<S>8034</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, she came<S>935</S> to prove<S>5254</S> him with hard questions<S>2420</S>.


text:
And she gave<S>5414</S> the king<S>4428</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and of spices<S>1314</S> very<S>3966</S> great store<S>7235</S>, and precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>: there came<S>935</S> no more such<S>1931</S> abundance<S>7230</S> of spices<S>1314</S> as these which the queen<S>4436</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> gave<S>5414</S> to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
And the navy<S>590</S> also of Hiram<S>2438</S>, that brought<S>5375</S> gold<S>2091</S> from Ophir<S>211</S>, brought in<S>935</S> from Ophir<S>211</S> great<S>3966</S> plenty<S>7235</S> of almug<S>484</S> - trees<S>6086</S> and precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> made<S>6213</S> of the almug<S>484</S> - trees<S>6086</S> pillars<S>4552</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and for the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, harps<S>3658</S> also and psalteries<S>5035</S> for the singers<S>7891</S>: there came<S>935</S> no such almug<S>484</S> - trees<S>6086</S>, nor were seen<S>7200</S>, unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> gave<S>5414</S> to the queen<S>4436</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> all her desire<S>2656</S>, whatsoever she asked<S>7592</S>, besides that which Solomon<S>8010</S> gave<S>5414</S> her of his royal<S>4428</S> bounty<S>3027</S>. So she turned<S>6437</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to her own land<S>776</S>, she and her servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
Now the weight<S>4948</S> of gold<S>2091</S> that came<S>935</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> in one<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S> was six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> threescore<S>8346</S> and six<S>8337</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>,


text:
besides that which the traders<S>582</S> brought<S>4536</S>, and the traffic of the merchants<S>7402</S>, and of all the kings<S>4428</S> of the mingled<S>6153</S> people<S>6346</S>, and of the governors of the country<S>776</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> bucklers<S>6793</S> of beaten<S>7820</S> gold<S>2091</S>; six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shekels of gold<S>2091</S> went<S>5927</S> to one<S>259</S> buckler<S>6793</S>.


text:
And he made three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shields<S>4043</S> of beaten<S>7820</S> gold<S>2091</S>; three<S>7969</S> pounds<S>4488</S> of gold<S>2091</S> went<S>5927</S> to one<S>259</S> shield<S>4043</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> put<S>5414</S> them in the house<S>1004</S> of the forest<S>3293</S> of Lebanon<S>3844</S>.


text:
Moreover the king<S>4428</S> made<S>6213</S> a great<S>1419</S> throne<S>3678</S> of ivory<S>8127</S>, and overlaid<S>6823</S> it with the finest<S>6338</S> gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
There were six<S>8337</S> steps<S>4609</S> to the throne<S>3678</S>, and the top<S>7218</S> of the throne<S>3678</S> was round<S>5696</S> behind<S>310</S>; and there were stays<S>3027</S> on either side by the place<S>4725</S> of the seat<S>7675</S>, and two<S>8147</S> lions<S>738</S> standing<S>5975</S> beside<S>681</S> the stays<S>3027</S>.


text:
And she came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> with a very<S>3966</S> great<S>3515</S> train<S>2428</S>, with camels<S>1581</S> that bare<S>5375</S> spices<S>1314</S>, and very<S>3966</S> much<S>7227</S> gold<S>2091</S>, and precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>; and when she was come<S>935</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, she communed<S>1696</S> with him of all that was in her heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
And twelve<S>8147</S> lions<S>738</S> stood<S>5975</S> there on the one side and on the other upon the six<S>8337</S> steps<S>4609</S>: there was not the like<S>3651</S> made<S>6213</S> in any kingdom<S>4467</S>.


text:
And all king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>'s drinking<S>4945</S> vessels<S>3627</S> were of gold<S>2091</S>, and all the vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the forest<S>3293</S> of Lebanon<S>3844</S> were of pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>: none were of silver<S>3701</S>; it was nothing<S>3972</S> accounted<S>2803</S> of in the days<S>3117</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
For the king<S>4428</S> had at sea<S>3220</S> a navy<S>590</S> of Tarshish<S>8659</S> with the navy<S>590</S> of Hiram<S>2438</S>: once<S>259</S> every three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> came<S>935</S> the navy<S>590</S> of Tarshish<S>8659</S>, bringing<S>5375</S> gold<S>2091</S>, and silver<S>3701</S>, ivory<S>8143</S>, and apes<S>6971</S>, and peacocks<S>8500</S>.


text:
So king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> exceeded<S>1431</S> all the kings<S>4428</S> of the earth<S>776</S> in riches<S>6239</S> and in wisdom<S>2451</S>.


text:
And all the earth<S>776</S> sought<S>1245</S> the presence of Solomon<S>8010</S>, to<S>6440</S> hear<S>8085</S> his wisdom<S>2451</S>, which God<S>430</S> had put<S>5414</S> in his heart<S>3820</S>.

And they brought<S>935</S> every man<S>376</S> his tribute<S>4503</S>, vessels<S>3627</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and vessels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and raiment<S>8008</S>, and armor<S>5402</S>, and spices<S>1314</S>, horses<S>5483</S>, and mules<S>6505</S>, a rate<S>1697</S> year<S>8141</S> by year<S>8141</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> gathered together<S>622</S> chariots<S>7393</S> and horsemen<S>6571</S>: and he had a thousand<S>505</S> and four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>7393</S>, and twelve<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, that he bestowed<S>5148</S> in the chariot<S>7393</S> cities<S>5892</S>, and with the king<S>4428</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> made<S>5414</S> silver<S>3701</S> to be in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> as stones<S>68</S>, and cedars<S>730</S> made<S>5414</S> he to be as the sycomore-trees<S>8256</S> that are in the lowland<S>8219</S>, for abundance<S>7230</S>.


text:
And the horses<S>5483</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> had were brought<S>4161</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>; and the king<S>4428</S>'s merchants<S>5503</S> received<S>3947</S> them in droves<S>4723</S>, each drove<S>4723</S> at a price<S>4242</S>.


text:
And a chariot<S>4818</S> came up<S>5927</S> and went out<S>3318</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> for six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shekels of silver<S>3701</S>, and a horse<S>5483</S> for a hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S>; and so for all the kings<S>4428</S> of the Hittites<S>2850</S>, and for the kings<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, did they bring them out<S>3318</S> by their means<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> told<S>5046</S> her all her questions<S>1697</S>: there was not anything<S>1697</S> hid<S>5956</S> from the king<S>4428</S> which he told her not<S>5046</S>.


text:
And when the queen<S>4436</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> had seen<S>7200</S> all the wisdom<S>2451</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> that he had built<S>1129</S>,


text:
and the food<S>3978</S> of his table<S>7979</S>, and the sitting<S>4186</S> of his servants<S>5650</S>, and the attendance<S>4612</S> of his ministers<S>8334</S>, and their apparel<S>4403</S>, and his cupbearers<S>8248</S>, and his ascent<S>5930</S> by which he went up<S>5927</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; there was no more spirit in her<S>7307</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, It was a true<S>571</S> report<S>1697</S> that I heard<S>8085</S> in mine own land<S>776</S> of thine acts<S>1697</S>, and of thy wisdom<S>2451</S>.


text:
Howbeit I believed<S>539</S> not the words<S>1697</S>, until I came<S>935</S>, and mine eyes<S>5869</S> had seen<S>7200</S> it<S>2677</S>: and, behold, the half was not told<S>5046</S> me<S>2451</S>; thy wisdom and prosperity<S>2896</S> exceed<S>3254</S> the fame<S>8052</S> which I heard<S>8085</S>.


text:
Happy<S>835</S> are thy men<S>582</S>, happy<S>835</S> are these thy servants<S>5650</S>, that stand<S>5975</S> continually<S>8548</S> before<S>6440</S> thee<S>8085</S>, and that hear thy wisdom<S>2451</S>.


text:
Blessed<S>1288</S> be Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>, who delighted<S>2654</S> in thee<S>5414</S>, to set thee on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: because Jehovah<S>3068</S> loved<S>160</S> Israel<S>3478</S> for ever<S>5769</S>, therefore made<S>7760</S> he thee king<S>4428</S>, to do<S>6213</S> justice<S>4941</S> and righteousness<S>6666</S>.


text:
Now king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> loved<S>157</S> many<S>7227</S> foreign<S>5237</S> women<S>802</S>, together with the daughter<S>1323</S> of Pharaoh<S>6547</S>, women of the Moabites<S>4125</S>, Ammonites<S>5984</S>, Edomites<S>130</S>, Sidonians<S>6722</S>, and Hittites<S>2850</S>;


text:
and had commanded<S>6680</S> him concerning this thing<S>1697</S>, that he should not go<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>: but he kept<S>8104</S> not that which Jehovah<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S>.


text:
Wherefore Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Solomon<S>8010</S>, Forasmuch as this is done of thee<S>8104</S>, and thou hast not kept my covenant<S>1285</S> and my statutes<S>2708</S>, which I have commanded<S>6680</S> thee<S>7167</S>, I will surely rend<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> from thee<S>5414</S>, and will give it to thy servant<S>5650</S>.


text:
Notwithstanding in thy days<S>3117</S> I will not do<S>6213</S> it<S>1732</S>, for David thy father<S>1</S>'s sake<S>7167</S>: but I will rend it out of the hand<S>3027</S> of thy son<S>1121</S>.


text:
Howbeit<S>7535</S> I will not rend away<S>7167</S> all the kingdom<S>4467</S>; but I will give<S>5414</S> one<S>259</S> tribe<S>7626</S> to thy son<S>1121</S>, for David<S>1732</S> my servant<S>5650</S>'s sake<S>3389</S>, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen<S>977</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> raised up<S>6965</S> an adversary<S>7854</S> unto Solomon<S>8010</S>, Hadad<S>1908</S> the Edomite<S>130</S>: he was of the king<S>4428</S>'s seed<S>2233</S> in Edom<S>123</S>.


text:
For it came to pass<S>1732</S>, when David was in Edom<S>123</S>, and Joab<S>3097</S> the captain<S>8269</S> of the host<S>6635</S> was gone up<S>5927</S> to bury<S>6912</S> the slain<S>2491</S>, and had smitten<S>5221</S> every male<S>2145</S> in Edom<S>123</S>


text:
(for Joab<S>3097</S> and all Israel<S>3478</S> remained<S>3427</S> there six<S>8337</S> months<S>2320</S>, until he had cut off<S>3772</S> every male<S>2145</S> in Edom<S>123</S>);


text:
that Hadad<S>111</S> fled<S>1272</S>, he and certain<S>582</S> Edomites<S>130</S> of his father<S>1</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> with him<S>935</S>, to go into Egypt<S>4714</S>, Hadad<S>1908</S> being yet a little<S>6996</S> child<S>5288</S>.


text:
And they arose<S>6965</S> out of Midian<S>4080</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Paran<S>6290</S>; and they took<S>3947</S> men<S>582</S> with them out of Paran<S>6290</S>, and they came<S>935</S> to Egypt<S>4714</S>, unto Pharaoh<S>6547</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, who gave<S>5414</S> him a house<S>1004</S>, and appointed<S>559</S> him victuals<S>3899</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> him land<S>776</S>.


text:
And Hadad<S>1908</S> found<S>4672</S> great<S>3966</S> favor<S>2580</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Pharaoh<S>6547</S>, so that he gave<S>5414</S> him to wife<S>802</S> the sister<S>269</S> of his own wife<S>802</S>, the sister<S>269</S> of Tahpenes<S>8472</S> the queen<S>1377</S>.


text:
of the nations<S>1471</S> concerning which Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Ye shall not go among<S>935</S> them<S>935</S>, neither shall they come among you<S>403</S>; for surely they will turn away<S>5186</S> your heart<S>3824</S> after<S>310</S> their gods<S>430</S>: Solomon<S>8010</S> clave<S>1692</S> unto these in love<S>157</S>.


text:
And the sister<S>269</S> of Tahpenes<S>8472</S> bare<S>3205</S> him Genubath<S>1592</S> his son<S>1121</S>, whom Tahpenes<S>8472</S> weaned<S>1580</S> in<S>8432</S> Pharaoh<S>6547</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; and Genubath<S>1592</S> was in Pharaoh<S>6547</S>'s house<S>1004</S> among<S>8432</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Pharaoh<S>6547</S>.


text:
And when Hadad<S>1908</S> heard<S>8085</S> in Egypt<S>4714</S> that David<S>1732</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and that Joab<S>3097</S> the captain<S>8269</S> of the host<S>6635</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, Hadad<S>1908</S> said<S>559</S> to Pharaoh<S>6547</S>, Let me depart<S>7971</S>, that I may go<S>3212</S> to mine own country<S>776</S>.


text:
Then Pharaoh<S>6547</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>2638</S>, But what hast thou lacked with me<S>1245</S>, that, behold, thou seekest to go<S>3212</S> to thine own country<S>776</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, Nothing<S>7971</S>: howbeit only let me depart<S>7971</S>.


text:
And God<S>430</S> raised up<S>6965</S> another adversary<S>7854</S> unto him<S>7331</S>, Rezon the son<S>1121</S> of Eliada<S>450</S>, who had fled<S>1272</S> from his lord<S>113</S> Hadadezer<S>1909</S> king<S>4428</S> of Zobah<S>6678</S>.


text:
And he gathered<S>6908</S> men<S>582</S> unto him<S>8269</S>, and became captain over a troop<S>1416</S>, when David<S>1732</S> slew<S>2026</S> them of Zobah<S>3212</S>: and they went to Damascus<S>1834</S>, and dwelt<S>3427</S> therein<S>4427</S>, and reigned in Damascus<S>1834</S>.


text:
And he was an adversary<S>7854</S> to Israel<S>3478</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, besides the mischief<S>7451</S> that Hadad<S>1908</S> did<S>6973</S>: and he abhorred Israel<S>3478</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> over Syria<S>758</S>.


text:
And Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, an Ephraimite<S>673</S> of Zeredah<S>6868</S>, a servant<S>5650</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, whose mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Zeruah<S>6871</S>, a<S>802</S> widow<S>490</S>, he also lifted up<S>7311</S> his hand<S>3027</S> against the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And this was the reason<S>1697</S> why he lifted up<S>7311</S> his hand<S>3027</S> against the king<S>4428</S>: Solomon<S>8010</S> built<S>1129</S> Millo<S>4407</S>, and repaired<S>5462</S> the breach of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> was a mighty man<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>; and Solomon<S>8010</S> saw<S>7200</S> the young man<S>5288</S> that he was industrious<S>6213</S>, and he gave him charge<S>6485</S> over all the labor<S>5447</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Joseph<S>3130</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at that time<S>6256</S>, when Jeroboam<S>3379</S> went out<S>3318</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, that the prophet<S>5030</S> Ahijah<S>281</S> the Shilonite<S>7888</S> found<S>4672</S> him in the way<S>1870</S>; now Ahijah had clad<S>3680</S> himself with a new<S>2319</S> garment<S>8008</S>; and they two<S>8147</S> were alone in the field<S>7704</S>.


text:
And he had seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> wives<S>802</S>, princesses<S>8282</S>, and three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> concubines<S>6370</S>; and his wives<S>802</S> turned away<S>5186</S> his heart<S>3820</S>.


text:
And Ahijah<S>281</S> laid hold<S>8610</S> of the new<S>2319</S> garment<S>8008</S> that was on him<S>7167</S>, and rent it in twelve<S>8147</S> pieces<S>7168</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, Take<S>3947</S> thee ten<S>6235</S> pieces<S>7168</S>; for thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Behold<S>7167</S>, I will rend the kingdom<S>4467</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, and will give<S>5414</S> ten<S>6235</S> tribes to thee<S>7626</S>


text:
(but he shall have one<S>259</S> tribe<S>7626</S>, for my servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S>'s sake and for Jerusalem<S>3389</S>'s sake<S>5892</S>, the city which I have chosen<S>977</S> out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>);


text:
because that they have forsaken<S>5800</S> me<S>7812</S>, and have worshipped Ashtoreth<S>6253</S> the goddess<S>430</S> of the Sidonians<S>6722</S>, Chemosh<S>3645</S> the god<S>430</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and Milcom<S>4445</S> the god<S>430</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>; and they have not walked<S>1980</S> in my ways<S>1870</S>, to do<S>6213</S> that which is right<S>3477</S> in mine eyes<S>5869</S>, and to keep my statutes<S>2708</S> and mine ordinances<S>4941</S>, as did David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
Howbeit I will not take<S>3947</S> the whole kingdom<S>4467</S> out of his hand<S>3027</S>; but I will make<S>7896</S> him prince<S>5387</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>, for David<S>1732</S> my servant<S>5650</S>'s sake whom I chose<S>977</S>, who kept<S>8104</S> my commandments<S>4687</S> and my statutes<S>2708</S>;


text:
but I will take<S>3947</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> out of his son<S>1121</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>, and will give<S>5414</S> it unto thee<S>6235</S>, even ten tribes<S>7626</S>.


text:
And unto his son<S>1121</S> will I give<S>5414</S> one<S>259</S> tribe<S>7626</S>, that David<S>1732</S> my servant<S>5650</S> may have a lamp<S>5216</S> alway<S>3117</S> before<S>6440</S> me in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, the city<S>5892</S> which I have chosen<S>977</S> me to put<S>7760</S> my name there<S>8034</S>.


text:
And I will take<S>3947</S> thee<S>4427</S>, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul<S>5315</S> desireth<S>183</S>, and shalt be king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it shall be<S>8085</S>, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command<S>6680</S> thee<S>1980</S>, and wilt walk in my ways<S>1870</S>, and do<S>6213</S> that which is right<S>3477</S> in mine eyes<S>5869</S>, to keep<S>8104</S> my statutes<S>2708</S> and my commandments<S>4687</S>, as David<S>1732</S> my servant<S>5650</S> did<S>6213</S>; that I will be with thee<S>1129</S>, and will build thee a sure<S>539</S> house<S>1004</S>, as I built<S>1129</S> for David<S>1732</S>, and will give<S>5414</S> Israel unto thee<S>3478</S>.


text:
And I will for this afflict<S>6031</S> the seed<S>2233</S> of David<S>1732</S>, but not for ever<S>3117</S>.


text:
For it came to pass<S>6256</S>, when Solomon<S>8010</S> was old<S>2209</S>, that his wives<S>802</S> turned away<S>5186</S> his heart<S>3824</S> after<S>310</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>; and his heart<S>3824</S> was not perfect<S>8003</S> with Jehovah<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, as was the heart<S>3824</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> sought<S>1245</S> therefore to kill<S>4191</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S>; but Jeroboam<S>3379</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and fled<S>1272</S> into Egypt<S>4714</S>, unto Shishak<S>7895</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and was in Egypt<S>4714</S> until the death<S>4194</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and his wisdom<S>2451</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>?


text:
And the time<S>3117</S> that Solomon<S>8010</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> over all Israel<S>3478</S> was forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>: and Rehoboam<S>7346</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
For Solomon<S>8010</S> went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> Ashtoreth<S>6253</S> the goddess<S>430</S> of the Sidonians<S>6722</S>, and after<S>310</S> Milcom<S>4445</S> the abomination<S>8251</S> of the Ammonites<S>5984</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and went not fully<S>4390</S> after<S>310</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, as did David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
Then did Solomon<S>8010</S> build<S>1129</S> a high place<S>1116</S> for Chemosh<S>3645</S> the abomination<S>8251</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, in the mount<S>2022</S> that is before<S>6440</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and for Molech<S>4432</S> the abomination<S>8251</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.

And so did<S>6213</S> he for all his foreign<S>5237</S> wives<S>802</S>, who burnt incense<S>6999</S> and sacrificed<S>2076</S> unto their gods<S>430</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> was angry<S>599</S> with Solomon<S>8010</S>, because his heart<S>3824</S> was turned<S>5186</S> away from Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who had appeared<S>7200</S> unto him twice<S>6471</S>,


text:
And Rehoboam<S>7346</S> went<S>3212</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S>: for all Israel<S>3478</S> were come<S>935</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S> to make him king<S>4427</S>.


text:
And the young men<S>3206</S> that were grown up<S>1431</S> with him spake<S>1696</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, Thus shalt thou say<S>559</S> unto this people<S>5971</S> that spake<S>1696</S> unto thee<S>559</S>, saying, Thy father<S>1</S> made<S>3513</S> our yoke<S>5923</S> heavy<S>3513</S>, but make thou it lighter<S>7043</S> unto us<S>1696</S>; thus shalt thou speak unto them<S>6995</S>, My little finger is thicker<S>5666</S> than my father<S>1</S>'s loins<S>4975</S>.


text:
And now whereas my father<S>1</S> did lade<S>6006</S> you with a heavy<S>3515</S> yoke<S>5923</S>, I will add<S>3254</S> to your yoke<S>5923</S>: my father<S>1</S> chastised<S>3256</S> you with whips<S>7752</S>, but I will chastise<S>3256</S> you with scorpions<S>6137</S>.


text:
So Jeroboam<S>3379</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> came<S>935</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>, as the king<S>4428</S> bade<S>1696</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Come to me again<S>7725</S> the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S> the people<S>5971</S> roughly<S>7186</S>, and forsook<S>5800</S> the counsel<S>6098</S> of the old men<S>2205</S> which they had given him<S>3289</S>,


text:
and spake<S>1696</S> to them after the counsel<S>6098</S> of the young men<S>3206</S>, saying<S>559</S>, My father<S>1</S> made<S>3513</S> your yoke<S>5923</S> heavy<S>3513</S>, but I will add<S>3254</S> to your yoke<S>5923</S>: my father<S>1</S> chastised<S>3256</S> you with whips<S>7752</S>, but I will chastise<S>3256</S> you with scorpions<S>6137</S>.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> hearkened<S>8085</S> not unto the people<S>5971</S>; for it was<S>5438</S> a thing brought about of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, that he might establish<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S>, which Jehovah<S>3068</S> spake<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> Ahijah<S>281</S> the Shilonite<S>7888</S> to Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>.


text:
And<S>7725</S> when all Israel<S>3478</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the king<S>4428</S> hearkened<S>8085</S> not unto them<S>5971</S>, the people answered<S>1697</S> the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, What portion<S>2506</S> have we in David<S>1732</S>? neither have we inheritance<S>5159</S> in the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>: to your tents<S>168</S>, O Israel<S>3478</S>: now see<S>7200</S> to thine own house<S>1004</S>, David<S>1732</S>. So Israel<S>3478</S> departed<S>3212</S> unto their tents<S>168</S>.


text:
But as for the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that dwelt<S>3427</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, Rehoboam<S>7346</S> reigned over them<S>4427</S>.


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> sent<S>7971</S> Adoram<S>151</S>, who was over the men subject to taskwork<S>4522</S>; and all Israel<S>3478</S> stoned<S>7275</S> him to death<S>4191</S> with stones<S>68</S>. And king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> made speed<S>553</S> to get him up<S>5927</S> to his chariot<S>4818</S>, to flee<S>5127</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
So Israel<S>3478</S> rebelled<S>6586</S> against the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3379</S>, when Jeroboam the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S> heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>4714</S> (for he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled<S>1272</S> from the presence<S>6440</S> of king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> in Egypt<S>4714</S>,


text:
And it came to pass<S>3478</S>, when all Israel heard<S>8085</S> that Jeroboam<S>3379</S> was returned<S>7725</S>, that they sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> him unto the congregation<S>5712</S>, and made him king<S>4427</S> over all Israel<S>3478</S>: there was none that followed<S>310</S> the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, but<S>2108</S> the tribe<S>7626</S> of Judah only<S>3063</S>.


text:
And when Rehoboam<S>7346</S> was come<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, he assembled<S>6950</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, a hundred<S>3967</S> and fourscore<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen men<S>977</S>, that were warriors<S>6213</S>, to fight<S>3898</S> against the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to bring<S>7725</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> again<S>7725</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
But the word<S>1697</S> of God<S>430</S> came unto Shemaiah<S>8098</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Speak<S>559</S> unto Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and unto all the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and to the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Ye shall not go up<S>5927</S>, nor fight<S>3898</S> against your brethren<S>251</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: return<S>7725</S> every man<S>376</S> to his house<S>1004</S>; for this thing<S>1697</S> is<S>1961</S> of me<S>8085</S>. So they hearkened unto the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and returned<S>7725</S> and went their way<S>3212</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then Jeroboam<S>3379</S> built<S>1129</S> Shechem<S>7927</S> in the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and dwelt<S>3427</S> therein<S>3318</S>; and he went out from thence<S>1129</S>, and built Penuel<S>6439</S>.


text:
And Jeroboam<S>3379</S> said<S>559</S> in his heart<S>3820</S>, Now will the kingdom<S>4467</S> return<S>7725</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>:


text:
if this people<S>5971</S> go up<S>5927</S> to offer<S>6213</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, then will the heart<S>3820</S> of this people<S>5971</S> turn again<S>7725</S> unto their lord<S>113</S>, even unto Rehoboam<S>7346</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>; and they will kill<S>2026</S> me<S>7725</S>, and return to Rehoboam<S>7346</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Whereupon the king<S>4428</S> took counsel<S>3289</S>, and made<S>6213</S> two<S>8147</S> calves<S>5695</S> of gold<S>2091</S>; and he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>7227</S>, It is too much for you to go up<S>5927</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: behold thy gods<S>430</S>, O Israel<S>3478</S>, which brought thee up<S>5927</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
And he set<S>7760</S> the one<S>259</S> in Beth-el<S>1008</S>, and the other<S>259</S> put<S>5414</S> he in Dan<S>1835</S>.


text:
and they sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> him<S>3379</S>), that Jeroboam and all the assembly<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S>, and spake<S>1696</S> unto Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
And this thing<S>1697</S> became a sin<S>2403</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> went<S>3212</S> to worship before<S>6440</S> the one<S>259</S>, even unto Dan<S>1835</S>.


text:
And he made<S>6213</S> houses<S>1004</S> of high places<S>1116</S>, and made<S>6213</S> priests<S>3548</S> from among<S>7098</S> all the people<S>5971</S>, that were not of the sons<S>1121</S> of Levi<S>3878</S>.


text:
And Jeroboam<S>3379</S> ordained<S>6213</S> a feast<S>2282</S> in the eighth<S>8066</S> month<S>2320</S>, on the fifteenth<S>2568</S> day<S>3117</S> of the month<S>2320</S>, like unto the feast<S>2282</S> that is in Judah<S>3063</S>, and he went<S>5927</S> up unto the altar<S>4196</S>; so did<S>6213</S> he in Beth-el<S>1008</S>, sacrificing<S>2076</S> unto the calves<S>5695</S> that he had made<S>6213</S>: and he placed<S>5975</S> in Beth-el<S>1008</S> the priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> that he had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
And he went<S>5927</S> up unto the altar<S>4196</S> which he had made<S>6213</S> in Beth-el<S>1008</S> on the fifteenth<S>2568</S> day<S>3117</S> in the eighth<S>8066</S> month<S>2320</S>, even in the month<S>2320</S> which he had devised<S>908</S> of his own heart<S>3820</S>: and he ordained<S>6213</S> a feast<S>2282</S> for the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and went<S>5927</S> up unto the altar<S>4196</S>, to burn incense<S>6999</S>.


text:
Thy father<S>1</S> made<S>7185</S> our yoke<S>5923</S> grievous<S>7185</S>: now therefore make thou the grievous<S>7186</S> service<S>5656</S> of thy father<S>1</S>, and his heavy<S>3515</S> yoke<S>5923</S> which he put<S>5414</S> upon us<S>7043</S>, lighter, and we will serve thee<S>5647</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3212</S>, Depart yet for three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>, then come again<S>7725</S> to me<S>5971</S>. And the people departed<S>3212</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> took counsel<S>3289</S> with the old men<S>2205</S>, that had stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> his father<S>1</S> while he yet lived<S>2416</S>, saying<S>559</S>, What counsel<S>3289</S> give ye me to return<S>7725</S> answer<S>1697</S> to this people<S>5971</S>?


text:
And they spake<S>1696</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, If thou wilt be a servant<S>5650</S> unto this people<S>5971</S> this day<S>3117</S>, and wilt serve<S>5647</S> them<S>6030</S>, and answer them<S>1696</S>, and speak good<S>2896</S> words<S>1697</S> to them<S>5650</S>, then they will be thy servants for ever<S>3117</S>.


text:
But he forsook<S>5800</S> the counsel<S>6098</S> of the old men<S>2205</S> which they had given<S>3289</S> him<S>3289</S>, and took counsel with the young men<S>3206</S> that were grown up<S>1431</S> with him<S>5975</S>, that stood before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3289</S>, What counsel give ye<S>7725</S>, that we may return answer<S>1697</S> to this people<S>5971</S>, who have spoken<S>1696</S> to me<S>559</S>, saying, Make<S>7043</S> the yoke<S>5923</S> that thy father<S>1</S> did put<S>5414</S> upon us lighter<S>7043</S>?


text:
And<S>935</S>, behold, there came a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> out of Judah<S>3063</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> unto Beth-el<S>1008</S>: and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> was standing<S>5975</S> by the altar<S>4196</S> to burn incense<S>6999</S>.


text:
So he went<S>3212</S> another<S>312</S> way<S>1870</S>, and returned<S>7725</S> not by the way<S>1870</S> that he came<S>935</S> to Beth-el<S>1008</S>.


text:
Now there dwelt<S>3427</S> an<S>259</S> old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S> in Beth-el<S>1008</S>; and one of his sons<S>1121</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>5608</S> him all the works<S>4639</S> that the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had done<S>6213</S> that day<S>3117</S> in Beth-el<S>1008</S>: the words<S>1697</S> which he had spoken<S>1696</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, them also they told<S>5608</S> unto their father<S>1</S>.


text:
And their father<S>1</S> said<S>1696</S> unto them<S>1870</S>, What way went<S>1980</S> he<S>1121</S>? Now his sons had seen<S>7200</S> what<S>335</S> way<S>1870</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> went<S>1980</S>, that came<S>935</S> from Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto his sons<S>1121</S>, Saddle<S>2280</S> me the ass<S>2543</S>. So they saddled<S>2280</S> him the ass<S>2543</S>; and he rode thereon<S>7392</S>.


text:
And he went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and found<S>4672</S> him sitting<S>3427</S> under an oak<S>424</S>; and he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>376</S>, Art thou the man of God<S>430</S> that camest<S>935</S> from Judah<S>3063</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, I am.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Come home<S>1004</S> with me<S>398</S>, and eat bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, I may<S>3201</S> not return<S>7725</S> with thee<S>935</S>, nor go in with thee<S>398</S>; neither will I eat bread<S>3899</S> nor drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> with thee in this place<S>4725</S>:


text:
for it was said<S>1697</S> to me by the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Thou shalt eat<S>398</S> no bread<S>3899</S> nor drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> there<S>7725</S>, nor turn again to go<S>3212</S> by the way<S>1870</S> that thou camest<S>1980</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5030</S>, I also am a prophet as thou art<S>4397</S>; and an angel spake<S>1696</S> unto me by the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Bring him back<S>7725</S> with thee into thy house<S>1004</S>, that he may eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> and drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S>. But he lied unto him<S>3584</S>.


text:
So he went back<S>7725</S> with him<S>398</S>, and did eat bread<S>3899</S> in his house<S>1004</S>, and drank<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S>.


text:
And he cried<S>7121</S> against the altar<S>4196</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O altar<S>4196</S>, altar<S>4196</S>, thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>: Behold<S>1121</S>, a son shall be born<S>3205</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, Josiah<S>2977</S> by name<S>8034</S>; and upon thee shall he sacrifice<S>2076</S> the priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> that burn incense<S>6999</S> upon thee<S>120</S>, and men's bones<S>6106</S> shall they burn upon thee<S>8313</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3427</S>, as they sat at the table<S>7979</S>, that the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came unto the prophet<S>5030</S> that brought him back<S>7725</S>;


text:
and he cried<S>7121</S> unto the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> that came<S>935</S> from Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Forasmuch as<S>3282</S> thou hast been disobedient<S>4784</S> unto the mouth<S>6310</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and hast not kept<S>8104</S> the commandment<S>4687</S> which Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S> commanded thee<S>6680</S>,


text:
but camest back<S>7725</S>, and hast eaten<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> and drunk<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> in the place<S>4725</S> of which he said<S>1696</S> to thee<S>398</S>, Eat no bread<S>3899</S>, and drink<S>8354</S> no water<S>4325</S>; thy body<S>5038</S> shall not come<S>935</S> unto the sepulchre<S>6913</S> of thy fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>310</S>, after he had eaten<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>, and after<S>310</S> he had drunk<S>8354</S>, that he saddled<S>2280</S> for him the ass<S>2543</S>, to wit<S>5030</S>, for the prophet whom he had brought back<S>7725</S>.

And when he was gone<S>3212</S>, a lion<S>738</S> met<S>4672</S> him by the way<S>1870</S>, and slew<S>4191</S> him<S>5038</S>: and his body was cast<S>7993</S> in the way<S>1870</S>, and the ass<S>2543</S> stood<S>5975</S> by<S>681</S> it<S>738</S>; the lion also stood<S>5975</S> by the body<S>5038</S>.


text:
And<S>582</S>, behold, men passed by<S>5674</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> the body<S>5038</S> cast<S>7993</S> in the way<S>1870</S>, and the lion<S>738</S> standing<S>5975</S> by<S>681</S> the body<S>5038</S>; and they came<S>935</S> and told<S>1696</S> it in the city<S>5892</S> where the old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S> dwelt<S>3427</S>.


text:
And when the prophet<S>5030</S> that brought him back<S>7725</S> from the way<S>1870</S> heard<S>8085</S> thereof<S>559</S>, he said, It is the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, who was disobedient<S>4784</S> unto the mouth<S>6310</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>: therefore Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> him unto the lion<S>738</S>, which hath torn<S>7665</S> him<S>4191</S>, and slain him<S>1697</S>, according to the word of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, which he spake unto him<S>1696</S>.


text:
And he spake<S>1696</S> to his sons<S>1121</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Saddle<S>2280</S> me the ass<S>2543</S>. And they saddled it<S>2280</S>.


text:
And he went<S>3212</S> and found<S>4672</S> his body<S>5038</S> cast<S>7993</S> in the way<S>1870</S>, and the ass<S>2543</S> and the lion<S>738</S> standing<S>5975</S> by<S>681</S> the body<S>5038</S>: the lion<S>738</S> had not eaten<S>398</S> the body<S>5038</S>, nor torn<S>7665</S> the ass<S>2543</S>.


text:
And the prophet<S>5030</S> took up<S>5375</S> the body<S>5038</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and laid<S>3240</S> it upon the ass<S>2543</S>, and brought it back<S>7725</S>; and he came<S>935</S> to the city<S>5892</S> of the old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S>, to mourn<S>5594</S>, and to bury him<S>6912</S>.


text:
And he gave<S>5414</S> a sign<S>4159</S> the same day<S>3117</S>, saying<S>559</S>, This is the sign<S>4159</S> which Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath spoken<S>1696</S>: Behold<S>4196</S>, the altar shall be rent<S>7167</S>, and the ashes<S>1880</S> that are upon it shall be poured out<S>8210</S>.


text:
And he laid<S>3240</S> his body<S>5038</S> in his own grave<S>6913</S>; and they mourned<S>5594</S> over him<S>1945</S>, saying, Alas, my brother<S>251</S>!


text:
And it came to pass<S>310</S>, after he had buried<S>6912</S> him<S>559</S>, that he spake to his sons<S>1121</S>, saying<S>559</S>, When I am dead<S>4191</S>, then bury<S>6912</S> me in the sepulchre<S>6913</S> wherein the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> is buried<S>6912</S>; lay<S>3240</S> my bones<S>6106</S> beside<S>681</S> his bones<S>6106</S>.


text:
For the saying<S>1697</S> which he cried<S>7121</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> against the altar<S>4196</S> in Beth-el<S>1008</S>, and against all the houses<S>1004</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> which are in the cities<S>5892</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>, shall surely come to pass.


text:
After<S>310</S> this thing<S>1697</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> returned<S>7725</S> not from his evil<S>7451</S> way<S>1870</S>, but made<S>6213</S> again<S>7725</S> from among all<S>7098</S> the people<S>5971</S> priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S>: whosoever would<S>2655</S>, he consecrated<S>4390</S> him<S>3548</S>, that there might be priests of the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
And this thing<S>1697</S> became sin<S>2403</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, even to cut it off<S>3582</S>, and to destroy<S>8045</S> it from off the face<S>6440</S> of the earth<S>127</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4428</S>, when the king heard<S>8085</S> the saying<S>1697</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, which he cried<S>7121</S> against the altar<S>4196</S> in Beth-el<S>1008</S>, that Jeroboam<S>3379</S> put forth<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S> from the altar<S>4196</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Lay hold<S>8610</S> on him<S>3027</S>. And his hand, which he put forth<S>7971</S> against him<S>3001</S>, dried up, so that he could<S>3201</S> not draw it back again to him<S>7725</S>.


text:
The altar<S>4196</S> also was rent<S>7167</S>, and the ashes<S>1880</S> poured out<S>8210</S> from the altar<S>4196</S>, according to the sign<S>4159</S> which the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had given<S>5414</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> unto the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, Entreat<S>2470</S> now the favor<S>6440</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>, and pray<S>6419</S> for me<S>3027</S>, that my hand may be restored me again<S>7725</S>. And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> entreated<S>2470</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s hand<S>3027</S> was restored him again<S>7725</S>, and became as it was before<S>7223</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>1696</S> unto the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, Come<S>935</S> home<S>1004</S> with me<S>5582</S>, and refresh thyself<S>5414</S>, and I will give thee a reward<S>4991</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, If thou wilt give<S>5414</S> me half<S>2677</S> thy house<S>1004</S>, I will not go in<S>935</S> with thee<S>398</S>, neither will I eat bread<S>3899</S> nor drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> in this place<S>4725</S>;


text:
for so was it charged<S>6680</S> me by the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thou shalt eat<S>398</S> no bread<S>3899</S>, nor drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S>, neither return<S>7725</S> by the way<S>1870</S> that thou camest<S>1980</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> Abijah<S>29</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> fell sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
therefore<S>935</S>, behold, I will bring evil<S>7451</S> upon the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and will cut off<S>3772</S> from Jeroboam<S>3379</S> every man-child<S>8366</S>, <S>7023</S> him that is shut up<S>6113</S> and him that is left<S>5800</S> at large in Israel<S>3478</S>, and will utterly<S>310</S> sweep away<S>1197</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, as a man sweepeth away<S>1197</S> dung<S>1557</S>, till it be all gone<S>8552</S>.


text:
Him that dieth<S>4191</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> in the city<S>5892</S> shall the dogs<S>3611</S> eat<S>398</S>; and him that dieth<S>4191</S> in the field<S>7704</S> shall the birds<S>5775</S> of the heavens<S>8064</S> eat<S>398</S>: for Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath spoken it<S>1696</S>.


text:
Arise<S>6965</S> thou therefore<S>3212</S>, get thee to thy house<S>1004</S>: and when thy feet<S>7272</S> enter<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, the child<S>3206</S> shall die<S>4191</S>.


text:
And all Israel<S>3478</S> shall mourn<S>5594</S> for him<S>6912</S>, and bury him<S>3379</S>; for he only of Jeroboam shall come<S>935</S> to the grave<S>6913</S>, because in him there is found<S>4672</S> some good<S>2896</S> thing<S>1697</S> toward Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, in the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>.


text:
Moreover Jehovah<S>3068</S> will raise him up<S>6965</S> a king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, who shall cut off<S>3772</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> that day<S>3117</S>: but what? even now.


text:
For Jehovah<S>3068</S> will smite<S>5221</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, as a reed<S>7070</S> is shaken<S>5110</S> in the water<S>4325</S>; and he will root up<S>5428</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of this good<S>2896</S> land<S>127</S> which he gave<S>5414</S> to their fathers<S>1</S>, and will scatter<S>2219</S> them beyond<S>5676</S> the River<S>5104</S>, because they have made<S>6213</S> their Asherim<S>842</S>, provoking Jehovah<S>3068</S> to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
And he will give<S>5414</S> Israel<S>3478</S> up<S>5414</S> because<S>1558</S> of the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, which he hath sinned<S>2398</S>, and wherewith he hath made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
And Jeroboam<S>3379</S>'s wife<S>802</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and departed<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Tirzah<S>8656</S>: and as she came<S>935</S> to the threshold<S>5592</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, the child<S>5288</S> died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And all Israel<S>3478</S> buried<S>6912</S> him<S>5594</S>, and mourned for him<S>1697</S>, according to the word of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, which he spake<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servant<S>5650</S> Ahijah<S>281</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>.


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, how he warred<S>3898</S>, and how he reigned<S>4427</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Jeroboam<S>3379</S> said<S>559</S> to his wife<S>802</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, I pray thee<S>8138</S>, and disguise thyself<S>3045</S>, that thou be not known to be the wife<S>802</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>; and get<S>1980</S> thee to Shiloh<S>7887</S>: behold<S>281</S>, there is Ahijah the prophet<S>5030</S>, who spake<S>1696</S> concerning me that I should be king<S>4428</S> over this people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And the days<S>3117</S> which Jeroboam<S>3379</S> reigned<S>4427</S> were two<S>8147</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>: and he slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and Nadab<S>5070</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>. Rehoboam<S>7346</S> was forty<S>705</S> and one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> seventeen<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, the city<S>5892</S> which Jehovah<S>3068</S> had chosen<S>977</S> out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to put<S>7760</S> his name<S>8034</S> there<S>517</S>: and his mother's name<S>8034</S> was Naamah<S>5279</S> the Ammonitess<S>5985</S>.


text:
And Judah<S>3063</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and they provoked him to jealousy<S>7065</S> with their sins<S>2403</S> which they committed<S>2398</S>, above all that their fathers<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
For they also built<S>1129</S> them high places<S>1116</S>, and pillars<S>4676</S>, and Asherim<S>842</S>, on every high<S>1364</S> hill<S>1389</S>, and under every green<S>7488</S> tree<S>6086</S>;


text:
and there were also sodomites<S>6945</S> in the land<S>776</S>: they did<S>6213</S> according to all the abominations<S>8441</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> which Jehovah<S>3068</S> drove out<S>3423</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the fifth<S>2549</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, that Shishak<S>7895</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> came up<S>5927</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>;


text:
and he took away<S>3947</S> the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; he even took away<S>3947</S> all<S>3947</S>: and he took away all the shields<S>4043</S> of gold<S>2091</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> made<S>6213</S> in their stead shields<S>4043</S> of brass<S>5178</S>, and committed<S>6485</S> them to the hands<S>3027</S> of the captains<S>8269</S> of the guard<S>7323</S>, who kept<S>8104</S> the door<S>6607</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>1767</S>, that, as oft as the king<S>4428</S> went<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the guard<S>7323</S> bare<S>5375</S> them<S>7725</S>, and brought them back into the guard<S>7323</S> - chamber<S>8372</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
And take<S>3947</S> with thee<S>3027</S> ten<S>6235</S> loaves<S>3899</S>, and cakes<S>5350</S>, and a cruse<S>1228</S> of honey<S>1706</S>, and go<S>935</S> to him<S>5046</S>: he will tell thee what shall become of the child<S>5288</S>.


text:
And there was war<S>4421</S> between Rehoboam<S>7346</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> continually<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Rehoboam<S>7346</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Naamah<S>5279</S> the Ammonitess<S>5985</S>. And Abijam<S>38</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And Jeroboam<S>3379</S>'s wife<S>802</S> did so<S>6213</S>, and arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S>. Now Ahijah<S>281</S> could<S>3201</S> not see<S>7200</S>; for his eyes<S>5869</S> were set<S>6965</S> by reason of his age<S>7869</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ahijah<S>281</S>, Behold<S>802</S>, the wife of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> cometh<S>935</S> to inquire<S>1875</S> of thee concerning<S>1697</S> her son<S>1121</S>; for he is sick<S>2470</S>: thus<S>2090</S> and thus shalt thou say<S>1696</S> unto her<S>935</S>; for it will be, when she cometh in, that she will feign herself to be another woman<S>5234</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>281</S>, when Ahijah heard<S>8085</S> the sound<S>6963</S> of her feet<S>7272</S>, as she came in<S>935</S> at the door<S>6607</S>, that he said<S>559</S>, Come in<S>935</S>, thou wife<S>802</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>; why feignest thou thyself to be another<S>5234</S>? for I am sent<S>7971</S> to thee with heavy tidings<S>7186</S>.


text:
Go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>559</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: Forasmuch as<S>3282</S> I exalted<S>7311</S> thee from among<S>8432</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and made<S>5414</S> thee prince<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
and rent<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> away<S>7167</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> it thee<S>5650</S>; and yet thou hast not been as my servant David<S>1732</S>, who kept<S>8104</S> my commandments<S>4687</S>, and who followed<S>1980</S> me with all his heart<S>3824</S>, to do<S>6213</S> that only which was right<S>3477</S> in mine eyes<S>5869</S>,


text:
but hast done<S>6213</S> evil<S>7489</S> above all that were before<S>6440</S> thee<S>3212</S>, and hast gone and made<S>6213</S> thee other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and molten images<S>4541</S>, to provoke me to anger<S>3707</S>, and hast cast<S>7993</S> me behind<S>310</S> thy back<S>1458</S>:


text:
Now in the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S> began Abijam<S>38</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S>.

And forty<S>705</S> and one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> reigned<S>4427</S> he in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Maacah<S>4601</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Abishalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And Asa<S>609</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, as did David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
And he put away<S>5674</S> the sodomites<S>6945</S> out of the land<S>776</S>, and removed<S>5493</S> all the idols<S>1544</S> that his fathers<S>1</S> had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
And also Maacah<S>4601</S> his mother<S>517</S> he removed<S>5493</S> from being queen<S>1377</S>, because she had made<S>6213</S> an abominable image<S>4656</S> for an Asherah<S>842</S>; and Asa<S>609</S> cut down<S>3772</S> her image<S>4656</S>, and burnt<S>8313</S> it at the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>.


text:
But the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S>: nevertheless the heart<S>3824</S> of Asa<S>609</S> was perfect<S>8003</S> with Jehovah<S>3068</S> all his days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And he brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> the things<S>6944</S> that his father<S>1</S> had dedicated<S>6944</S>, and the things that himself had dedicated<S>6944</S>, silver<S>3701</S>, and gold<S>2091</S>, and vessels<S>3627</S>.


text:
And there was war<S>4421</S> between Asa<S>609</S> and Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> all their days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went up<S>5927</S> against Judah<S>3063</S>, and built<S>1129</S> Ramah<S>7414</S>, that he might not suffer<S>5414</S> any one to go out<S>3318</S> or come in<S>935</S> to Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Then Asa<S>609</S> took<S>3947</S> all the silver<S>3701</S> and the gold<S>2091</S> that were left<S>3498</S> in the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of his servants<S>5650</S>; and king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> sent<S>7971</S> them to Ben-hadad<S>1130</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Tabrimmon<S>2886</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Hezion<S>2383</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, that dwelt<S>3427</S> at Damascus<S>1834</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
There is a league<S>1285</S> between me and thee<S>1</S>, between my father and thy father<S>1</S>: behold<S>7971</S>, I have sent unto thee a present<S>7810</S> of silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S>; go<S>3212</S>, break<S>6565</S> thy league<S>1285</S> with Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that he may depart from me<S>5927</S>.


text:
Three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> reigned<S>4427</S> he in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Maacah<S>4601</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Abishalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And Ben-hadad<S>1130</S> hearkened<S>8085</S> unto king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of his armies<S>2428</S> against the cities<S>5892</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> Ijon<S>5859</S>, and Dan<S>1835</S>, and Abel-beth<S>62</S>-maacah, and all Chinneroth<S>3672</S>, with all the land<S>776</S> of Naphtali<S>5321</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1201</S>, when Baasha heard<S>8085</S> thereof<S>2308</S>, that he left off building<S>1129</S> Ramah<S>7414</S>, and dwelt<S>3427</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>.


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> made a proclamation<S>8085</S> unto all Judah<S>3063</S>; none was exempted<S>5355</S>: and they carried<S>5375</S> away the stones<S>68</S> of Ramah<S>7414</S>, and the timber<S>6086</S> thereof<S>1201</S>, wherewith Baasha had builded<S>1129</S>; and king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> built<S>1129</S> therewith Geba<S>1387</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and Mizpah<S>4709</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of all the acts<S>1697</S> of Asa<S>609</S>, and all his might<S>1369</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and the cities<S>5892</S> which he built<S>1129</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>? But in the time<S>6256</S> of his old age<S>2209</S> he was diseased<S>2470</S> in his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
And Asa<S>609</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>; and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And Nadab<S>5070</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in the second<S>8147</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of his father<S>1</S>, and in his sin<S>2403</S> wherewith he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
And Baasha<S>1201</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S>, of the house<S>1004</S> of Issachar<S>3485</S>, conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>1201</S>; and Baasha smote<S>5221</S> him at Gibbethon<S>1405</S>, which belonged to the Philistines<S>6430</S>; for Nadab<S>5070</S> and all Israel<S>3478</S> were laying siege<S>6696</S> to Gibbethon<S>1405</S>.


text:
Even in the third<S>7969</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> did Baasha<S>1201</S> slay<S>4191</S> him<S>4427</S>, and reigned in his stead.


text:
And it came to pass that<S>4427</S>, as soon as he was king, he smote<S>5221</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>: he left<S>7604</S> not to Jeroboam<S>3379</S> any that breathed<S>5397</S>, until he had destroyed<S>8045</S> him<S>1697</S>; according unto the saying of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, which he spake<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servant<S>5650</S> Ahijah<S>281</S> the Shilonite<S>7888</S>;


text:
And he walked<S>3212</S> in all the sins<S>2403</S> of his father<S>1</S>, which he had done<S>6213</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>3824</S>; and his heart was not perfect<S>8003</S> with Jehovah<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, as the heart<S>3824</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
for the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> which he sinned<S>2398</S>, and wherewith he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, because of his provocation<S>3708</S> wherewith he provoked Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Nadab<S>5070</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
In the third<S>7969</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Baasha<S>1201</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over all Israel<S>3478</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>, and reigned twenty<S>6242</S> and four<S>702</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and in his sin<S>2403</S> wherewith he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
Nevertheless for David<S>1732</S>'s sake did Jehovah<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S> give<S>5414</S> him a lamp<S>5216</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to set up<S>6965</S> his son<S>1121</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>5975</S>, and to establish Jerusalem<S>3389</S>;


text:
because David<S>1732</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and turned not aside<S>5493</S> from anything that he commanded<S>6680</S> him all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>, save only in the matter<S>1697</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S>.


text:
Now there was war<S>4421</S> between Rehoboam<S>7346</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>.


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Abijam<S>38</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>? And there was war<S>4421</S> between Abijam<S>38</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S>.


text:
And Abijam<S>38</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Asa<S>609</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And in the twentieth<S>6242</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> began Asa<S>609</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came to Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hanani<S>2607</S> against Baasha<S>1201</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
and Zimri<S>2174</S> went in<S>935</S> and smote<S>5221</S> him<S>4191</S>, and killed him<S>6242</S>, in the twenty and seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4427</S>, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat<S>3427</S> on his throne<S>3678</S>, that he smote<S>5221</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>: he left<S>7604</S> him not a single man-child<S>8366</S>, <S>7023</S> neither of his kinsfolks<S>1350</S>, nor of his friends<S>7453</S>.


text:
Thus did Zimri<S>2174</S> destroy<S>8045</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, which he spake<S>1696</S> against Baasha<S>1201</S> by<S>3027</S> Jehu<S>3058</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>,


text:
for all the sins<S>2403</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>, and the sins<S>2403</S> of Elah<S>425</S> his son<S>1121</S>, which they sinned<S>2398</S>, and wherewith they made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, to provoke Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to anger<S>3707</S> with their vanities<S>1892</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Elah<S>425</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
In the twenty<S>6242</S> and seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> did Zimri<S>2174</S> reign<S>4427</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>. Now the people<S>5971</S> were encamped<S>2583</S> against Gibbethon<S>1405</S>, which belonged to the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> that were encamped<S>2583</S> heard<S>8085</S> say<S>559</S>, Zimri<S>2174</S> hath conspired<S>7194</S>, and hath also smitten<S>5221</S> the king<S>4428</S>: wherefore all Israel<S>3478</S> made Omri<S>6018</S>, the captain<S>8269</S> of the host<S>6635</S>, king<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> that day<S>3117</S> in the camp<S>4264</S>.


text:
And Omri<S>6018</S> went up<S>5927</S> from Gibbethon<S>1405</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>6696</S>, and they besieged Tirzah<S>8656</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>2174</S>, when Zimri saw<S>7200</S> that the city<S>5892</S> was taken<S>3920</S>, that he went<S>935</S> into the castle<S>759</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and burnt<S>8313</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S> over him with fire<S>784</S>, and died<S>4191</S>,


text:
for his sins<S>2403</S> which he sinned<S>2398</S> in doing<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, in walking<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and in his sin<S>2403</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, to make Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
Forasmuch as I exalted<S>7311</S> thee out of the dust<S>6083</S>, and made<S>5414</S> thee prince<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and thou hast walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and hast made my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, to provoke me to anger<S>3707</S> with their sins<S>2403</S>;


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Zimri<S>2174</S>, and his treason<S>7195</S> that he wrought<S>7194</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
Then were the people<S>5971</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> divided<S>2505</S> into two parts<S>2677</S>: half<S>2677</S> of the people<S>5971</S> followed<S>1961</S> Tibni<S>8402</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ginath<S>1527</S>, to make him king<S>4427</S>; and half<S>2677</S> followed<S>310</S> Omri<S>6018</S>.


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> that followed<S>310</S> Omri<S>6018</S> prevailed<S>2388</S> against<S>854</S> the people<S>5971</S> that followed<S>310</S> Tibni<S>8402</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ginath<S>1527</S>: so Tibni<S>8402</S> died<S>4191</S>, and Omri<S>6018</S> reigned<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the thirty<S>7970</S> and first<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Omri<S>6018</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, and reigned twelve<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>: six<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> reigned<S>4427</S> he in Tirzah<S>8656</S>.


text:
And he bought<S>7069</S> the hill<S>2022</S> Samaria<S>8111</S> of Shemer<S>8106</S> for two talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>; and he built<S>1129</S> on the hill<S>2022</S>, and called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of the city<S>5892</S> which he built<S>1129</S>, after the name<S>8034</S> of Shemer<S>8106</S>, the owner<S>113</S> of the hill<S>2022</S>, Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And Omri<S>6018</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and dealt wickedly above<S>7489</S> all that were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
For he walked<S>3212</S> in all the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, and in his sins<S>2403</S> wherewith he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, to provoke Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to anger<S>3707</S> with their vanities<S>1892</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, and his might<S>1369</S> that he showed<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
So Omri<S>6018</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>; and Ahab<S>256</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.

And in the thirty<S>7970</S> and eighth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Ahab<S>256</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>: and Ahab<S>256</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
behold<S>1197</S>, I will utterly sweep away Baasha<S>1201</S> and his<S>310</S> house<S>1004</S>; and I will make<S>5414</S> thy house<S>1004</S> like the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> above all that were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7043</S>, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk<S>3212</S> in the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, that he took<S>3947</S> to wife<S>802</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Ethbaal<S>856</S> king<S>4428</S> of the Sidonians<S>6722</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S>, and worshipped him<S>7812</S>.


text:
And he reared up<S>6965</S> an altar<S>4196</S> for Baal<S>1168</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, which he had built<S>1129</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> made<S>6213</S> the Asherah<S>842</S>; and Ahab<S>256</S> did<S>6213</S> yet more<S>3254</S> to provoke Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to anger<S>3707</S> than all the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
In his days<S>3117</S> did Hiel<S>2419</S> the Beth-elite<S>1017</S> build<S>1129</S> Jericho<S>3405</S>: he laid the foundation<S>3245</S> thereof with the loss of Abiram<S>48</S> his first-born<S>1060</S>, and set up<S>5324</S> the gates<S>1817</S> thereof with the loss of his youngest<S>6810</S> son Segub<S>7687</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, which he spake<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> Joshua<S>3091</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nun<S>5126</S>.


text:
Him that dieth<S>4191</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S> in the city<S>5892</S> shall the dogs<S>3611</S> eat<S>398</S>; and him that dieth<S>4191</S> of his in the field<S>7704</S> shall the birds<S>5775</S> of the heavens<S>8064</S> eat<S>398</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>, and what he did<S>6213</S>, and his might<S>1369</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
And Baasha<S>1201</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>; and Elah<S>425</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And moreover by<S>3027</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hanani<S>2607</S> came the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> against Baasha<S>1201</S>, and against his house<S>1004</S>, both because of all the evil<S>7451</S> that he did<S>6213</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, to provoke him to anger<S>3707</S> with the work<S>4639</S> of his hands<S>3027</S>, in being like the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and because he smote him<S>5221</S>.


text:
In the twenty<S>6242</S> and sixth<S>8337</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Elah<S>425</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>, and reigned two years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And his servant<S>5650</S> Zimri<S>2174</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of half<S>4276</S> his chariots<S>7393</S>, conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>8656</S>. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking<S>8354</S> himself drunk<S>7910</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Arza<S>777</S>, who was over the household<S>1004</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>:


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> the Tishbite<S>8664</S>, who was of the sojourners<S>8453</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, said<S>559</S> unto Ahab<S>256</S>, As Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, liveth<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, there shall not be dew<S>2919</S> nor rain<S>4306</S> these years<S>8141</S>, but according<S>6310</S> to my word<S>1697</S>.


text:
So he arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Zarephath<S>6886</S>; and when he came<S>935</S> to the gate<S>6607</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, behold<S>490</S>, a widow <S>802</S> was there gathering<S>7197</S> sticks<S>6086</S>: and he called<S>7121</S> to her<S>559</S>, and said, Fetch<S>3947</S> me<S>4592</S>, I pray thee, a little water<S>4325</S> in a vessel<S>3627</S>, that I may drink<S>8354</S>.


text:
And as she was going<S>3212</S> to fetch<S>3947</S> it<S>7121</S>, he called to her<S>559</S>, and said, Bring<S>3947</S> me<S>6595</S>, I pray thee, a morsel of bread<S>3899</S> in thy hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, As Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, I have<S>3426</S> not a cake<S>4580</S>, but a handful<S>4393</S> of meal<S>7058</S> in the jar<S>3537</S>, and a little<S>4592</S> oil<S>8081</S> in the cruse<S>6835</S>: and<S>7197</S>, behold, I am gathering two<S>8147</S> sticks<S>6086</S>, that I may go in<S>935</S> and dress<S>6213</S> it for me and my son<S>1121</S>, that we may eat<S>398</S> it<S>4191</S>, and die.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>3372</S>, Fear not<S>935</S>; go and do<S>6213</S> as thou hast said<S>1697</S>; but make<S>6213</S> me thereof<S>8033</S> a little<S>6996</S> cake<S>5692</S> first<S>7223</S>, and bring<S>3318</S> it forth unto me<S>314</S>, and afterward make<S>6213</S> for thee and for thy son<S>1121</S>.


text:
For thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, The jar<S>3537</S> of meal<S>7058</S> shall not waste<S>3615</S>, neither shall the cruse<S>6835</S> of oil<S>8081</S> fail<S>2637</S>, until the day<S>3117</S> that Jehovah<S>3068</S> sendeth<S>5414</S> rain<S>1653</S> upon<S>6440</S> the earth<S>127</S>.


text:
And she went<S>3212</S> and did<S>6213</S> according to the saying<S>1697</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>: and she<S>1004</S>, and he, and her house, did eat<S>398</S> many days<S>3117</S>.


text:
The jar<S>3537</S> of meal<S>7058</S> wasted<S>3615</S> not<S>6835</S>, neither did the cruse of oil<S>8081</S> fail<S>2638</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, which he spake<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> Elijah<S>452</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after<S>310</S> these things<S>1697</S>, that the son<S>1121</S> of the woman<S>802</S>, the mistress<S>1172</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, fell sick<S>2470</S>; and his sickness<S>2483</S> was so<S>3966</S> sore<S>2389</S>, that there was no breath<S>5397</S> left in him<S>3498</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto Elijah<S>452</S>, What have I to do with thee<S>376</S>, O thou man of God<S>430</S>? thou art come<S>935</S> unto me to bring<S>2142</S> my sin<S>5771</S> to remembrance<S>2142</S>, and to slay<S>4191</S> my son<S>1121</S>!


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto her<S>5414</S>, Give me thy son<S>1121</S>. And he took<S>3947</S> him out of her bosom<S>2436</S>, and carried him up<S>5927</S> into the chamber<S>5944</S>, where he abode<S>3427</S>, and laid<S>7901</S> him upon his own bed<S>4296</S>.


text:
And he cried<S>7121</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, hast thou also brought evil<S>7489</S> upon the widow<S>490</S> with whom I sojourn<S>1481</S>, by slaying<S>4191</S> her son<S>1121</S>?


text:
And he stretched<S>4058</S> himself upon the child<S>3206</S> three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S>, and cried<S>7121</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, I pray thee<S>3206</S>, let this child's soul<S>5315</S> come<S>7725</S> into him<S>7130</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> hearkened<S>8085</S> unto the voice<S>6963</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>; and the soul<S>5315</S> of the child<S>3206</S> came<S>7725</S> into him<S>7130</S> again<S>7725</S>, and he revived<S>2421</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> took<S>3947</S> the child<S>3206</S>, and brought him down<S>3381</S> out of the chamber<S>5944</S> into the house<S>1004</S>, and delivered<S>5414</S> him unto his mother<S>517</S>; and Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S>, See<S>7200</S>, thy son<S>1121</S> liveth<S>2416</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>, Now<S>2088</S> I know<S>3045</S> that thou art a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and that the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> in thy mouth<S>6310</S> is truth<S>571</S>.


text:
Get<S>3212</S> thee hence<S>6437</S>, and turn thee eastward<S>6924</S>, and hide<S>5641</S> thyself by the brook<S>5158</S> Cherith<S>3747</S>, that is before<S>6440</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And it shall be<S>8354</S>, that thou shalt drink of the brook<S>5158</S>; and I have commanded<S>6680</S> the ravens<S>6158</S> to feed thee there<S>3557</S>.


text:
So he went<S>3212</S> and did<S>6213</S> according unto the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; for he went<S>3212</S> and dwelt<S>3427</S> by the brook<S>5158</S> Cherith<S>3747</S>, that is before<S>6440</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And the ravens<S>6158</S> brought<S>935</S> him bread<S>3899</S> and flesh<S>1320</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and bread<S>3899</S> and flesh<S>1320</S> in the evening<S>6153</S>; and he drank<S>8354</S> of the brook<S>5158</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after<S>7093</S> a while<S>3117</S>, that the brook<S>5158</S> dried up<S>3001</S>, because there was no rain<S>1653</S> in the land<S>776</S>.


text:
Arise<S>6965</S>, get<S>3212</S> thee to Zarephath<S>6886</S>, which belongeth to Sidon<S>6721</S>, and dwell<S>3427</S> there<S>6680</S>: behold, I have commanded a widow<S>490, Ruth2</S> there to sustain thee<S>3557</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after many<S>7227</S> days<S>3117</S>, that the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came to Elijah<S>452</S>, in the third<S>7992</S> year<S>8141</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, show<S>7200</S> thyself unto Ahab<S>256</S>; and I will send<S>5414</S> rain<S>4306</S> upon<S>6440</S> the earth<S>127</S>.


text:
As Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, there is no<S>3426</S> nation<S>1471</S> or kingdom<S>4467</S>, whither<S>834</S> my lord<S>113</S> hath not sent<S>7971</S> to seek<S>1245</S> thee<S>559</S>: and when they said, He is not here<S>7650</S>, he took an oath of the kingdom<S>4467</S> and nation<S>1471</S>, that they found thee not<S>4672</S>.


text:
And now thou sayest<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>559</S> thy lord<S>113</S>, Behold<S>452</S>, Elijah is here.


text:
And it will come to pass<S>3212</S>, as soon as I am gone from thee<S>7307</S>, that the Spirit of Jehovah<S>3068</S> will carry<S>5375</S> thee whither I know<S>3045</S> not<S>935</S>; and so when I come and tell<S>5046</S> Ahab<S>256</S>, and he cannot find<S>4672</S> thee<S>2026</S>, he will slay me<S>5650</S>: but I thy servant fear<S>3372</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> from my youth<S>5271</S>.


text:
Was it not told<S>5046</S> my lord<S>113</S> what I did<S>6213</S> when Jezebel<S>348</S> slew<S>2026</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, how I hid<S>2244</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s prophets<S>5030</S> by fifty<S>2572</S> in a cave<S>4631</S>, and fed<S>3557</S> them with bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S>?


text:
And now thou sayest<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>559</S> thy lord<S>113</S>, Behold<S>452</S>, Elijah is here<S>2026</S>; and he will slay me.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S>, As Jehovah<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, I will surely show<S>7200</S> myself unto him to-day<S>3117</S>.


text:
So Obadiah<S>5662</S> went<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Ahab<S>256</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him<S>256</S>; and Ahab went<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Elijah<S>452</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>256</S>, when Ahab saw<S>7200</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, that Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5916</S>, Is it thou, thou troubler of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
And he answered<S>559</S>, I have not troubled<S>5916</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; but thou<S>1</S>, and thy father's house<S>1004</S>, in that ye have forsaken<S>5800</S> the commandments<S>4687</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and thou hast followed<S>3212</S> the Baalim<S>1168</S>.


text:
Now therefore send<S>7971</S>, and gather<S>6908</S> to me all Israel<S>3478</S> unto mount<S>2022</S> Carmel<S>3760</S>, and the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S>, and the prophets<S>5030</S> of the Asherah<S>842</S> four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S>, that eat<S>398</S> at Jezebel<S>348</S>'s table<S>7979</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> went<S>3212</S> to show<S>7200</S> himself unto Ahab<S>256</S>. And the famine<S>7458</S> was sore<S>2389</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
So Ahab<S>256</S> sent<S>7971</S> unto all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and gathered<S>6908</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> together<S>6908</S> unto mount<S>2022</S> Carmel<S>3760</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> came<S>5066</S> near unto all the people<S>5971</S>, and said<S>559</S>, How long<S>5921</S> go ye limping<S>6452</S> between the two<S>8147</S> sides<S>3068</S>? if Jehovah be God<S>430</S>, follow<S>3212</S> him<S>1168</S>; but if Baal, then follow<S>3212</S> him<S>5971</S>. And the people answered<S>6030</S> him not a word<S>1697</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Elijah<S>452</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, I<S>3498</S>, even I only, am left a prophet<S>5030</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; but Baal<S>1168</S>'s prophets<S>5030</S> are four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
Let them therefore give<S>5414</S> us two<S>8147</S> bullocks<S>6499</S>; and let them choose<S>977</S> one<S>259</S> bullock<S>6499</S> for themselves<S>5408</S>, and cut it in pieces, and lay<S>7760</S> it on the wood<S>6086</S>, and put<S>7760</S> no fire<S>784</S> under<S>6213</S>; and I will dress the other<S>259</S> bullock<S>6499</S>, and lay<S>5414</S> it on the wood<S>6086</S>, and put<S>7760</S> no fire under<S>784</S>.


text:
And call<S>7121</S> ye on the name<S>8034</S> of your god<S>430</S>, and I will call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; and the God<S>430</S> that answereth<S>6030</S> by fire<S>784</S>, let him be God<S>430</S>. And all the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>6030</S>, It is well<S>2896</S> spoken<S>559</S>.

And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, Choose<S>977</S> you one<S>259</S> bullock<S>6499</S> for yourselves<S>6213</S>, and dress it first<S>7223</S>; for ye are many<S>7227</S>; and call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of your god<S>430</S>, but put<S>7760</S> no fire under<S>784</S>.


text:
And they took<S>3947</S> the bullock<S>6499</S> which was given<S>5414</S> them<S>6213</S>, and they dressed it<S>7121</S>, and called on the name<S>8034</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> from morning<S>1242</S> even until noon<S>6672</S>, saying<S>559</S>, O Baal<S>1168</S>, hear<S>6030</S> us<S>369</S>. But there was no voice<S>6963</S>, nor any that answered<S>6030</S>. And they leaped<S>6452</S> about the altar<S>4196</S> which was made<S>6213</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at noon<S>6672</S>, that Elijah<S>452</S> mocked<S>2048</S> them<S>559</S>, and said, Cry<S>7121</S> aloud<S>1419</S>; for he is a god<S>430</S>: either he is musing<S>7879</S>, or he is gone aside<S>7873</S>, or he is on a journey<S>1870</S>, or peradventure<S>194</S> he sleepeth<S>3463</S> and must be awaked<S>3364</S>.


text:
And they cried<S>7121</S> aloud<S>6963</S>, and cut<S>1413</S> themselves after their manner<S>4941</S> with knives<S>2719</S> and lances<S>7420</S>, till the blood<S>1818</S> gushed out upon them<S>8210</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>6672</S>, when midday was past<S>5674</S>, that they prophesied<S>5012</S> until the time of the offering<S>5927</S> of the evening oblation<S>5927</S>; but there was neither voice<S>6963</S>, nor any to answer<S>6030</S>, nor any that regarded<S>7182</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> called<S>7121</S> Obadiah<S>5662</S>, who was over the household<S>1004</S>. (Now Obadiah<S>5662</S> feared<S>3373</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> greatly<S>3966</S>:


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto all the people<S>5971</S>, Come near<S>5066</S> unto me<S>5971</S>; and all the people came near<S>5066</S> unto him<S>7495</S>. And he repaired the altar<S>4196</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> that was thrown down<S>2040</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> took<S>3947</S> twelve<S>8147</S> stones<S>68</S>, according to the number<S>4557</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Jacob<S>3290</S>, unto whom the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came<S>559</S>, saying, Israel<S>3478</S> shall be thy name<S>8034</S>.


text:
And with the stones<S>68</S> he built<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; and he made<S>6213</S> a trench<S>8585</S> about<S>5439</S> the altar<S>4196</S>, as great as would contain<S>1004</S> two measures<S>5429</S> of seed<S>2233</S>.


text:
And he put<S>6186</S> the wood<S>6086</S> in order<S>6186</S>, and cut<S>5408</S> the bullock<S>6499</S> in pieces<S>7760</S>, and laid it on the wood<S>6086</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Fill<S>4390</S> four<S>702</S> jars<S>3537</S> with water<S>4325</S>, and pour<S>3332</S> it on the burnt-offering<S>5930</S>, and on the wood<S>6086</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Do it the second time<S>8138</S>; and they did it the second time<S>8138</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Do it the third time<S>8027</S>; and they did it the third time<S>8027</S>.


text:
And the water<S>4325</S> ran<S>3212</S> round about<S>5439</S> the altar<S>4196</S>; and he filled<S>4390</S> the trench<S>8585</S> also with water<S>4325</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the time of the offering<S>5927</S> of the evening oblation<S>4503</S>, that Elijah<S>452</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> came near<S>5066</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Abraham<S>85</S>, of Isaac<S>3327</S>, and of Israel<S>3478</S>, let it be known<S>3045</S> this day<S>3117</S> that thou art God<S>430</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, and that I am thy servant<S>5650</S>, and that I have done<S>6213</S> all these things at thy word<S>1697</S>.


text:
Hear<S>6030</S> me<S>3068</S>, O Jehovah, hear<S>6030</S> me<S>5971</S>, that this people may know<S>3045</S> that thou<S>3068</S>, Jehovah, art God<S>430</S>, and that thou hast turned<S>5437</S> their heart<S>3820</S> back<S>5437</S> again<S>322</S>.


text:
Then the fire<S>784</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> fell<S>5307</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> the burnt-offering<S>5930</S>, and the wood<S>6086</S>, and the stones<S>68</S>, and the dust<S>6083</S>, and licked up<S>3897</S> the water<S>4325</S> that was in the trench<S>8585</S>.


text:
And when all the people<S>5971</S> saw<S>7200</S> it<S>5307</S>, they fell on their faces<S>6440</S>: and they said<S>559</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S>, he is God<S>430</S>; Jehovah<S>3068</S>, he is God<S>430</S>.


text:
for it was so<S>348</S>, when Jezebel cut off<S>3772</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, that Obadiah<S>5662</S> took<S>3947</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> prophets<S>5030</S>, and hid<S>2244</S> them by fifty<S>376</S> in a cave<S>4631</S>, and fed<S>3557</S> them with bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S>.)


text:
and Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>8610</S>, Take the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>; let not one<S>376</S> of them escape<S>4422</S>. And they took<S>8610</S> them<S>452</S>; and Elijah brought them down<S>3381</S> to the brook<S>5158</S> Kishon<S>7028</S>, and slew them there<S>7819</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ahab<S>256</S>, Get thee up<S>5927</S>, eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>; for there is the sound<S>6963</S> of abundance<S>1995</S> of rain<S>1653</S>.


text:
So Ahab<S>256</S> went up<S>5927</S> to eat<S>398</S> and to drink<S>8354</S>. And Elijah<S>452</S> went up<S>5927</S> to the top<S>7218</S> of Carmel<S>3760</S>; and he bowed himself down<S>1457</S> upon the earth<S>776</S>, and put<S>7760</S> his face<S>6440</S> between his knees<S>1290</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to his servant<S>5288</S>, Go up<S>5927</S> now<S>5027</S>, look toward<S>1870</S> the sea<S>3220</S>. And he went up<S>5927</S>, and looked<S>5027</S>, and said<S>559</S>, There is nothing<S>3972</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Go again<S>7725</S> seven<S>7651</S> times<S>6471</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the seventh time<S>7637</S>, that he said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5927</S>, there ariseth a cloud<S>5645</S> out of the sea<S>3220</S>, as small<S>6996</S> as a man<S>376</S>'s hand<S>3709</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Go up<S>5927</S>, say<S>559</S> unto Ahab<S>256</S>, Make ready<S>631</S> thy chariot<S>3381</S>, and get thee down, that the rain<S>1653</S> stop thee not<S>6113</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in a little while<S>3541</S>, that the heavens<S>8064</S> grew black<S>6937</S> with clouds<S>5645</S> and wind<S>7307</S>, and there was a great<S>1419</S> rain<S>1653</S>. And Ahab<S>256</S> rode<S>7392</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Jezreel<S>3157</S>:


text:
and the hand<S>3027</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was on Elijah<S>452</S>; and he girded up<S>8151</S> his loins<S>4975</S>, and ran<S>7323</S> before<S>6440</S> Ahab<S>256</S> to the entrance<S>935</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> unto Obadiah<S>5662</S>, Go<S>3212</S> through the land<S>776</S>, unto all the fountains<S>4599</S> of water<S>4325</S>, and unto all the brooks<S>5158</S>: peradventure<S>194</S> we may find<S>4672</S> grass<S>2682</S> and save<S>2421</S> the horses<S>5483</S> and mules<S>6505</S> alive<S>2421</S>, that we lose<S>3772</S> not all the beasts<S>929</S>.


text:
So they divided<S>2505</S> the land<S>776</S> between them to pass throughout<S>5674</S> it<S>256</S>: Ahab went<S>1980</S> one<S>259</S> way<S>1870</S> by himself<S>5662</S>, and Obadiah went<S>1980</S> another<S>259</S> way by himself<S>1870</S>.


text:
And as Obadiah<S>5662</S> was in the way<S>1870</S>, behold<S>452</S>, Elijah met<S>7125</S> him<S>5234</S>: and he knew him<S>5307</S>, and fell on his face<S>6440</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Is it thou<S>113</S>, my lord Elijah<S>452</S>?


text:
And he answered<S>559</S> him<S>3212</S>, It is I: go, tell<S>559</S> thy lord<S>113</S>, Behold<S>452</S>, Elijah is here.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Wherein have I sinned<S>2398</S>, that thou wouldest deliver<S>5414</S> thy servant<S>5650</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>, to slay me<S>4191</S>?


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> told<S>5046</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> all that Elijah<S>452</S> had done<S>6213</S>, and withal how he had slain<S>2026</S> all the prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, I have been very<S>7065</S> jealous<S>7065</S> for Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>; for the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> have forsaken<S>5800</S> thy covenant<S>1285</S>, thrown down<S>2040</S> thine altars<S>4196</S>, and slain<S>2026</S> thy prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>: and I<S>3498</S>, even I only, am left; and they seek<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>, to take it away<S>3947</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Go forth<S>3318</S>, and stand<S>5975</S> upon the mount<S>2022</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>. And<S>3068</S>, behold, Jehovah passed by<S>5674</S>, and a great<S>1419</S> and strong<S>2389</S> wind<S>7307</S> rent<S>6561</S> the mountains<S>2022</S>, and brake in pieces<S>7665</S> the rocks<S>5553</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>; but Jehovah<S>3068</S> was not in the wind<S>7307</S>: and after<S>310</S> the wind<S>7307</S> an earthquake<S>7494</S>; but Jehovah<S>3068</S> was not in the earthquake<S>7494</S>:


text:
and after<S>310</S> the earthquake<S>7494</S> a fire<S>784</S>; but Jehovah<S>3068</S> was not in the fire<S>784</S>: and after<S>310</S> the fire<S>784</S> a still<S>1827</S> small<S>1851</S> voice<S>6963</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>452</S>, when Elijah heard<S>8085</S> it<S>3874</S>, that he wrapped his face<S>6440</S> in his mantle<S>155</S>, and went out<S>3318</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> in<S>6607</S> the entrance of the cave<S>4631</S>. And<S>6963</S>, behold, there came a voice unto him<S>559</S>, and said, What doest thou here<S>452</S>, Elijah?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, I have been very<S>7065</S> jealous<S>7065</S> for Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>; for the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> have forsaken<S>5800</S> thy covenant<S>1285</S>, thrown down<S>2040</S> thine altars<S>4196</S>, and slain<S>2026</S> thy prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>; and I<S>3498</S>, even I only, am left; and they seek<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>, to take it away<S>3947</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Go, return<S>7725</S> on thy way<S>1870</S> to the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>: and when thou comest<S>935</S>, thou shalt anoint<S>4886</S> Hazael<S>2371</S> to be king<S>4428</S> over Syria<S>758</S>;


text:
and Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S> shalt thou anoint<S>4886</S> to be king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>; and Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S> of Abel-meholah<S>65</S> shalt thou anoint<S>4886</S> to be prophet in thy room<S>5030</S>.


text:
And it shall come to pass<S>4422</S>, that him that escapeth from the sword<S>2719</S> of Hazael<S>2371</S> shall Jehu<S>3058</S> slay<S>4191</S>; and him that escapeth<S>4422</S> from the sword<S>2719</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> shall Elisha<S>477</S> slay<S>4191</S>.


text:
Yet will I leave<S>7604</S> me seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, all the knees<S>1290</S> which have not bowed<S>3766</S> unto Baal<S>1168</S>, and every mouth<S>6310</S> which hath not kissed him<S>5401</S>.


text:
So he departed<S>3212</S> thence<S>4672</S>, and found Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S>, who was plowing<S>2790</S>, with twelve<S>8147</S> yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen before<S>6440</S> him<S>8147</S>, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah<S>452</S> passed<S>5674</S> over unto him<S>7993</S>, and cast his mantle upon him<S>155</S>.


text:
Then Jezebel<S>348</S> send<S>7971</S> a messenger<S>4397</S> unto Elijah<S>452</S>, saying<S>559</S>, So let the gods<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> to me<S>3254</S>, and more also<S>7760</S>, if I make not thy life<S>5315</S> as the life<S>5315</S> of one<S>259</S> of them by to-morrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S>.


text:
And he left<S>5800</S> the oxen<S>1241</S>, and ran<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Let me<S>5401</S>, I pray thee, kiss my father<S>1</S> and my mother<S>517</S>, and then I will follow<S>3212</S> thee<S>559</S>. And he said unto him<S>3212</S>, Go back again<S>7725</S>; for what have I done to thee<S>6213</S>?


text:
And he returned<S>7725</S> from following him<S>310</S>, and took<S>3947</S> the yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, and slew<S>2076</S> them<S>1310</S>, and boiled their flesh<S>1320</S> with the instruments<S>3627</S> of the oxen<S>1241</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, and they did eat<S>398</S>. Then he arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, and ministered unto him<S>8334</S>.


text:
And when he saw<S>7200</S> that<S>6965</S>, he arose, and went<S>3212</S> for his life<S>5315</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Beer-sheba<S>884</S>, which belongeth to Judah<S>3063</S>, and left<S>3240</S> his servant there<S>5288</S>.


text:
But he himself went<S>1980</S> a day<S>3117</S>'s journey<S>1870</S> into the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and came<S>935</S> and sat down<S>3427</S> under a<S>259</S> juniper-tree<S>7574</S>: and he requested<S>7592</S> for himself<S>5315</S> that he might die<S>4191</S>, and said<S>559</S>, It is enough<S>7227</S>; now<S>3068</S>, O Jehovah, take away<S>3947</S> my life<S>5315</S>; for I am not better<S>2896</S> than my fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
And he lay<S>7901</S> down and slept<S>3462</S> under a<S>259</S> juniper-tree<S>7574</S>; and<S>4397</S>, behold, an angel touched<S>5060</S> him<S>559</S>, and said unto him<S>6965</S>, Arise and eat<S>398</S>.


text:
And he looked<S>5027</S>, and<S>4763</S>, behold, there was at his head a cake<S>5692</S> baken on the coals<S>7529</S>, and a cruse<S>6835</S> of water<S>4325</S>. And he did eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>, and laid him down<S>7901</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came again<S>7725</S> the second time<S>8145</S>, and touched<S>5060</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, Arise<S>6965</S> and eat<S>398</S>, because the journey<S>1870</S> is too great for thee<S>7227</S>.


text:
And he arose<S>6965</S>, and did eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>, and went<S>3212</S> in the strength<S>3581</S> of that food<S>396</S> forty<S>705</S> days<S>3117</S> and forty<S>705</S> nights<S>3915</S> unto Horeb<S>2722</S> the mount<S>2022</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
And he came<S>935</S> thither unto a cave<S>4631</S>, and lodged<S>3885</S> there<S>1697</S>; and, behold, the word of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came to him<S>559</S>, and he said unto him<S>452</S>, What doest thou here, Elijah?


text:
Now the days<S>3117</S> of David<S>1732</S> drew nigh<S>7126</S> that he should die<S>4191</S>; and he charged<S>6680</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> his son<S>1121</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
And David<S>1732</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>.

And the days<S>3117</S> that David<S>1732</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> were forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>; seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> reigned<S>4427</S> he in Hebron<S>2275</S>, and thirty<S>7970</S> and three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> reigned<S>4427</S> he in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> sat<S>3427</S> upon the throne<S>3678</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>; and his kingdom<S>4438</S> was established<S>3559</S> greatly<S>3966</S>.


text:
Then Adonijah<S>138</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Haggith<S>2294</S> came<S>935</S> to Bath-sheba<S>1339</S> the mother<S>517</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>. And she said<S>559</S>, Comest<S>935</S> thou peaceably<S>7965</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, Peaceably<S>7965</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> moreover<S>1697</S>, I have somewhat to say unto thee<S>559</S>. And she said, Say on<S>1696</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Thou knowest<S>3045</S> that the kingdom<S>4410</S> was mine<S>3478</S>, and that all Israel set<S>7760</S> their faces<S>6440</S> on me<S>4427</S>, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom<S>4410</S> is turned about<S>5437</S>, and is become my brother<S>251</S>'s; for it was his from Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And now I ask<S>7592</S> one<S>259</S> petition<S>7596</S> of thee<S>7725</S>; deny me<S>6440</S> not<S>559</S>. And she said unto him<S>1696</S>, Say on.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Speak<S>559</S>, I pray thee<S>8010</S>, unto Solomon the king<S>4428</S> (for he will not say<S>7725</S> thee<S>6440</S> nay<S>7725</S>), that he give<S>5414</S> me Abishag<S>49</S> the Shunammite<S>7767</S> to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And Bath-sheba<S>1339</S> said<S>559</S>, Well<S>2896</S>; I will speak<S>1696</S> for thee unto the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Bath-sheba<S>1339</S> therefore went<S>935</S> unto king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, to speak<S>1696</S> unto him for Adonijah<S>138</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> rose up<S>6965</S> to meet<S>7125</S> her<S>7812</S>, and bowed himself unto her<S>3427</S>, and sat down on his throne<S>3678</S>, and caused a throne<S>3678</S> to be set<S>7760</S> for the king<S>4428</S>'s mother<S>517</S>; and she sat<S>3427</S> on his right hand<S>3225</S>.


text:
I am going<S>1980</S> the way<S>1870</S> of all the earth<S>776</S>: be thou strong<S>2388</S> therefore<S>376</S>, and show thyself a man;


text:
Then she said<S>7592</S>, I ask one<S>259</S> small<S>6996</S> petition<S>7596</S> of thee<S>7725</S>; deny me<S>6440</S> not<S>7725</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>7725</S> unto her<S>7725</S>, Ask on<S>7592</S>, my mother<S>517</S>; for I will<S>7725</S> not deny<S>7725</S> thee<S>6440</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, Let Abishag<S>49</S> the Shunammite<S>7767</S> be given<S>5414</S> to Adonijah<S>138</S> thy brother<S>251</S> to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> unto his mother<S>517</S>, And why dost thou ask<S>7592</S> Abishag<S>49</S> the Shunammite<S>7767</S> for Adonijah<S>138</S>? ask<S>7592</S> for him the kingdom<S>4410</S> also<S>1419</S>; for he is mine elder brother<S>251</S>; even for him<S>54</S>, and for Abiathar the priest<S>3548</S>, and for Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>.


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> sware<S>7650</S> by Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so to me<S>3254</S>, and more also, if Adonijah<S>138</S> hath not spoken<S>1696</S> this word<S>1697</S> against his own life<S>5315</S>.


text:
Now therefore as Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, who hath established<S>3559</S> me<S>3427</S>, and set me on the throne<S>3678</S> of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and who hath made<S>6213</S> me a house<S>1004</S>, as he promised<S>1696</S>, surely Adonijah<S>138</S> shall be put to death<S>4191</S> this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> sent<S>7971</S> by<S>3027</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>; and he fell<S>6293</S> upon him<S>4191</S>, so that he died.


text:
And unto Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S> said<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, Get<S>3212</S> thee to Anathoth<S>6068</S>, unto thine own fields<S>7704</S>; for thou art worthy<S>376</S> of death<S>4194</S>: but I will not at this time<S>3117</S> put thee to death<S>4191</S>, because thou barest<S>5375</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>136</S> Jehovah<S>3069</S> before<S>6440</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and because thou wast afflicted<S>6031</S> in all wherein my father<S>1</S> was afflicted<S>6031</S>.


text:
So Solomon<S>8010</S> thrust out<S>1644</S> Abiathar<S>54</S> from being priest<S>3548</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, that he might fulfil<S>4390</S> the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, which he spake<S>1696</S> concerning the house<S>1004</S> of Eli<S>5941</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>.


text:
And the tidings<S>8052</S> came<S>935</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>; for Joab<S>3097</S> had turned<S>5186</S> after<S>310</S> Adonijah<S>138</S>, though he turned<S>5186</S> not after<S>310</S> Absalom<S>53</S>. And Joab<S>3097</S> fled<S>5127</S> unto the Tent<S>168</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and caught hold<S>2388</S> on the horns<S>7161</S> of the altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, Joab<S>3097</S> is fled<S>5127</S> unto the Tent<S>168</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and<S>681</S>, behold, he is by the altar<S>4196</S>. Then Solomon<S>8010</S> sent<S>7971</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, fall upon him<S>6293</S>.


text:
and keep<S>8104</S> the charge<S>4931</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> in his ways<S>1870</S>, to keep<S>8104</S> his statutes<S>2708</S>, and his commandments<S>4687</S>, and his ordinances<S>4941</S>, and his testimonies<S>5715</S>, according to that which is written<S>3789</S> in the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, that thou mayest prosper<S>7919</S> in all that thou doest<S>6213</S>, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself<S>6437</S>.


text:
And Benaiah<S>1141</S> came<S>935</S> to the Tent<S>168</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Thus saith the king<S>4428</S>, Come forth<S>3318</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Nay<S>4191</S>; but I will die here<S>1141</S>. And Benaiah brought<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> word<S>1697</S> again<S>7725</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thus said<S>1696</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, and thus he answered me<S>1696</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6213</S>, Do as he hath said<S>1696</S>, and fall<S>6293</S> upon him<S>6912</S>, and bury him<S>5493</S>; that thou mayest take away the blood<S>1818</S>, which Joab<S>3097</S> shed<S>8210</S> without cause<S>2600</S>, from me and from my father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> will return<S>7725</S> his blood<S>1818</S> upon his own head<S>7218</S>, because he fell<S>6293</S> upon two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S> more righteous<S>6662</S> and better<S>2896</S> than he<S>2026</S>, and slew them with the sword<S>2719</S>, and my father<S>1</S> David<S>1732</S> knew<S>3045</S> it not<S>74</S>, to wit, Abner the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of the host<S>6635</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and Amasa<S>6021</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jether<S>3500</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of the host<S>6635</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
So shall their blood<S>1818</S> return<S>7725</S> upon the head<S>7218</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>, and upon the head<S>7218</S> of his seed<S>2233</S> for ever<S>5769</S>: but unto David<S>1732</S>, and unto his seed<S>2233</S>, and unto his house<S>1004</S>, and unto his throne<S>3678</S>, shall there be peace<S>7965</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S> from Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and fell<S>6293</S> upon him<S>4191</S>, and slew him<S>6912</S>; and he was buried in his own house<S>1004</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> put<S>5414</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> in his room over the host<S>6635</S>; and Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S> did the king<S>4428</S> put<S>5414</S> in the room of Abiathar<S>54</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> for Shimei<S>8096</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1129</S>, Build thee a house<S>1004</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and dwell<S>3427</S> there<S>3318</S>, and go not forth thence any whither<S>575</S>.


text:
For on the day<S>3117</S> thou goest out<S>3318</S>, and passest over<S>5674</S> the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>, know<S>3045</S> thou for certain<S>3045</S> that thou shalt surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>: thy blood<S>1818</S> shall be upon thine own head<S>7218</S>.


text:
And Shimei<S>8096</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, The saying<S>1697</S> is good<S>2896</S>: as my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> hath said<S>1696</S>, so will thy servant<S>5650</S> do<S>6213</S>. And Shimei<S>8096</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> many<S>7227</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the end<S>7093</S> of three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>, that two<S>8147</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of Shimei<S>8096</S> ran away<S>1272</S> unto Achish<S>397</S>, son<S>1121</S> of Maacah<S>4601</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>. And they told<S>5046</S> Shimei<S>8096</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5650</S>, thy servants are in Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
That Jehovah<S>3068</S> may establish<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S> which he spake<S>1696</S> concerning me<S>559</S>, saying, If thy children<S>1121</S> take heed<S>8104</S> to their way<S>1870</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> before<S>6440</S> me in truth<S>571</S> with all their heart<S>3824</S> and with all their soul<S>5315</S>, there shall not fail<S>3772</S> thee<S>559</S> (said he<S>376</S>) a man on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Shimei<S>8096</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and saddled<S>2280</S> his ass<S>2543</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Gath<S>1661</S> to Achish<S>397</S>, to seek<S>1245</S> his servants<S>5650</S>; and Shimei<S>8096</S> went<S>3212</S>, and brought<S>935</S> his servants<S>5650</S> from Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> that Shimei<S>8096</S> had gone<S>1980</S> from Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to Gath<S>1661</S>, and was come again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> for Shimei<S>8096</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7650</S>, Did I not adjure thee by Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and protest<S>5749</S> unto thee<S>559</S>, saying, Know<S>3045</S> for certain<S>3045</S>, that on the day<S>3117</S> thou goest out<S>3318</S>, and walkest<S>1980</S> abroad any whither<S>575</S>, thou shalt surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>? and thou saidst<S>559</S> unto me<S>1697</S>, The saying that I have heard<S>8085</S> is good<S>2896</S>.


text:
Why then hast thou not kept<S>8104</S> the oath<S>7621</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and the commandment<S>4687</S> that I have charged thee with<S>6680</S>?


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> moreover to Shimei<S>8096</S>, Thou knowest<S>3045</S> all the wickedness<S>7451</S> which thy heart<S>3824</S> is privy to<S>3045</S>, that thou didst<S>6213</S> to David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>: therefore Jehovah<S>3068</S> shall return<S>7725</S> thy wickedness<S>7451</S> upon thine own head<S>7218</S>.


text:
But king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> shall be blessed<S>1288</S>, and the throne<S>3678</S> of David<S>1732</S> shall be established<S>3559</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>; and he went out<S>3318</S>, and fell<S>6293</S> upon him<S>4191</S>, so that he died. And the kingdom<S>4467</S> was established<S>3559</S> in the hand<S>3027</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
Moreover thou knowest<S>3045</S> also what Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> did<S>6213</S> unto me<S>6213</S>, even what he did to the two<S>8147</S> captains<S>8269</S> of the hosts<S>6635</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, unto Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, and unto Amasa<S>6021</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jether<S>3500</S>, whom he slew<S>2026</S>, and shed<S>7760</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of war<S>4421</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, and put<S>5414</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of war<S>4421</S> upon his girdle<S>2290</S> that was about his loins<S>4975</S>, and in his shoes<S>5275</S> that were on his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
Do<S>6213</S> therefore according to thy wisdom<S>2451</S>, and let not his hoar head<S>7872</S> go down<S>3381</S> to Sheol<S>7585</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
But show<S>6213</S> kindness<S>2617</S> unto the sons<S>1121</S> of Barzillai<S>1271</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S>, and let them be of those that eat<S>398</S> at thy table<S>7979</S>; for so they came<S>7126</S> to me when I fled<S>1272</S> from<S>6440</S> Absalom<S>53</S> thy brother<S>251</S>.


text:
And<S>8096</S>, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S>, the Benjamite<S>1145</S>, of Bahurim<S>980</S>, who cursed<S>7043</S> me with a grievous<S>4834</S> curse<S>7045</S> in the day<S>3117</S> when I went<S>3212</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>; but he came down<S>3381</S> to meet<S>7125</S> me at the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and I sware<S>7650</S> to him by Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, I will not put thee to death<S>4191</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
Now therefore hold him not guiltless<S>5352</S>, for thou art a wise<S>2450</S> man<S>376</S>; and thou wilt know<S>3045</S> what thou oughtest to do<S>6213</S> unto him<S>7872</S>, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down<S>3381</S> to Sheol<S>7585</S> with blood<S>1818</S>.


text:
And Ben-hadad<S>1130</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all his host<S>2428</S> together<S>6908</S>; and there were thirty<S>7970</S> and two<S>8147</S> kings<S>4428</S> with him<S>5483</S>, and horses and chariots<S>7393</S>: and he went up<S>5927</S> and besieged<S>6696</S> Samaria<S>8111</S>, and fought against it<S>3898</S>.


text:
And Ben-hadad<S>1130</S> sent<S>7971</S> unto him<S>559</S>, and said, The gods<S>430</S> do so<S>6213</S> unto me<S>3254</S>, and more also, if the dust<S>6083</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S> shall suffice<S>5606</S> for handfuls<S>8168</S> for all the people<S>5971</S> that follow me<S>7272</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Tell<S>1696</S> him<S>2296</S>, Let not him that girdeth on his armor boast<S>1984</S> himself as he that putteth it off<S>6605</S>.

And it came to pass<S>8085</S>, when Ben-hadad heard this message<S>1697</S>, as he was drinking<S>8354</S>, he and the kings<S>4428</S>, in the pavilions<S>5521</S>, that he said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, Set<S>7760</S> yourselves in array<S>7760</S>. And they set themselves in array against the city<S>5892</S>.

And<S>259</S>, behold, a prophet<S>5030</S> came<S>5066</S> near unto Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Hast thou seen<S>7200</S> all this great<S>1419</S> multitude<S>1995</S>? behold<S>5414</S>, I will deliver it into thy hand<S>3027</S> this day<S>3117</S>; and thou shalt know<S>3045</S> that I am Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S>, By whom<S>559</S>? And he said, Thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, By the young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S>. Then he said<S>559</S>, Who shall begin<S>631</S> the battle<S>4421</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, Thou.


text:
Then he mustered<S>6485</S> the young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S>, and they were two<S>8147</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> - two<S>8147</S>: and after<S>310</S> them he mustered<S>6485</S> all the people<S>5971</S>, even all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, being seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
And they went out<S>3318</S> at noon<S>6672</S>. But Ben-hadad<S>1130</S> was drinking<S>8354</S> himself drunk<S>7910</S> in the pavilions<S>5521</S>, he and the kings<S>4428</S>, the thirty<S>7970</S> and two<S>8147</S> kings<S>4428</S> that helped him<S>5826</S>.


text:
And the young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S> went out<S>3318</S> first<S>7223</S>; and Ben-hadad<S>1130</S> sent out<S>7971</S>, and they told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, There are men<S>582</S> come out<S>3318</S> from Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Whether they are come out<S>3318</S> for peace<S>7965</S>, take<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>, or whether they are come out<S>3318</S> for war<S>4421</S>, take<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>.


text:
So these went out<S>3318</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, the young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S>, and the army<S>2428</S> which followed them<S>310</S>.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, into the city<S>5892</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Thus saith Ben-hadad<S>1130</S>,


text:
And they slew<S>5221</S> every one<S>376</S> his man<S>376</S>; and the Syrians<S>758</S> fled<S>5127</S>, and Israel<S>3478</S> pursued<S>7291</S> them<S>1130</S>: and Ben-hadad the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> escaped<S>4422</S> on a horse<S>5483</S> with horsemen<S>6571</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> the horses<S>5483</S> and chariots<S>7393</S>, and slew<S>5221</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>.


text:
And the prophet<S>5030</S> came<S>5066</S> near to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Go, strengthen<S>2388</S> thyself<S>3045</S>, and mark, and see<S>7200</S> what thou doest<S>6213</S>; for at the return<S>8666</S> of the year<S>8141</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> will come up against thee<S>5927</S>.


text:
And the servants<S>5650</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>430</S>, Their god is a god<S>430</S> of the hills<S>2022</S>; therefore they were stronger<S>2388</S> than we<S>199</S>: but let us fight<S>3898</S> against them in the plain<S>4334</S>, and surely<S>3808</S> we shall be stronger than they<S>2388</S>.


text:
And do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>: take<S>5493</S> the kings<S>4428</S> away<S>376</S>, every man out of his place<S>4725</S>, and put<S>7760</S> captains in their room<S>6346</S>;


text:
and number<S>4487</S> thee an army<S>2428</S>, like the army<S>2428</S> that thou hast lost<S>5307</S>, horse<S>5483</S> for horse<S>5483</S>, and chariot<S>7393</S> for chariot<S>7393</S>; and we will fight<S>3898</S> against<S>854</S> them in the plain<S>4334</S>, and surely we shall be stronger<S>2388</S> than they<S>8085</S>. And he hearkened unto their voice<S>6963</S>, and did so<S>6213</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the return<S>8666</S> of the year<S>8141</S>, that Ben-hadad<S>1130</S> mustered<S>6485</S> the Syrians<S>758</S>, and went up<S>5927</S> to Aphek<S>663</S>, to fight<S>4421</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were mustered<S>6485</S>, and were victualled<S>3557</S>, and went<S>3212</S> against<S>7125</S> them<S>1121</S>: and the children of Israel<S>3478</S> encamped<S>2583</S> before them like two<S>8147</S> little flocks<S>2835</S> of kids<S>5795</S>; but the Syrians<S>758</S> filled<S>4390</S> the country<S>776</S>.


text:
And a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>5066</S> near and spake<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Because the Syrians<S>758</S> have said<S>559</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> is a god<S>430</S> of the hills<S>2022</S>, but he is not a god<S>430</S> of the valleys<S>6010</S>; therefore will I deliver<S>5414</S> all this great<S>1419</S> multitude<S>1995</S> into thy hand<S>3027</S>, and ye shall know<S>3045</S> that I am Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And they encamped<S>2583</S> one<S>428</S> over against<S>5227</S> the other<S>428</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>. And so it was<S>7637</S>, that in the seventh day<S>3117</S> the battle<S>4421</S> was joined<S>7126</S>; and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> slew<S>5221</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S> in one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S>.

Thy silver<S>3701</S> and thy gold<S>2091</S> is mine<S>802</S>; thy wives also and thy children<S>1121</S>, even the goodliest<S>2896</S>, are mine.
