2 Samuel 3:3and his second is Chileab, of Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite, and the third is Absalom son of Maacah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur,2 Samuel 13:22and Absalom hath not spoken with Amnon either evil or good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled Tamar his sister.2 Samuel 13:23And it cometh to pass, after two years of days, that Absalom hath shearers in Baal-Hazor, which is with Ephraim, and Absalom calleth for all the sons of the king.2 Samuel 13:24And Absalom cometh unto the king, and saith, ‘Lo, I pray thee, thy servant hath shearers, let the king go, I pray thee, and his servants, with thy servant.’2 Samuel 13:25And the king saith unto Absalom, ‘Nay, my son, let us not all go, I pray thee, and we are not too heavy on thee;’ and he presseth on him, and he hath not been willing to go, and he blesseth him.2 Samuel 13:26And Absalom saith, ‘If not—let, I pray thee, Amnon my brother go with us;’ and the king saith to him, ‘Why doth he go with thee?’2 Samuel 13:27and Absalom urgeth on him, and he sendeth with him Amnon, and all the sons of the king.2 Samuel 13:28And Absalom commandeth his young men, saying, ‘See, I pray thee, when the heart of Amnon is glad with wine, and I have said unto you, Smite Amnon, that ye have put him to death; fear not; is it not because I have commanded you? be strong, yea, become sons of valour.’2 Samuel 13:29And the young men of Absalom do to Amnon as Absalom commanded, and rise do all the sons of the king, and they ride, each on his mule, and flee.2 Samuel 13:37And Absalom hath fled, and goeth unto Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and David mourneth for his son all the days.2 Samuel 13:38And Absalom hath fled, and goeth to Geshur, and is there three years;2 Samuel 14:1And Joab son of Zeruial knoweth that the heart of the king is on Absalom,2 Samuel 14:2and Joab sendeth to Tekoah, and taketh thence a wise woman, and saith unto her, ‘Feign thyself a mourner, I pray thee, and put on, I pray thee, garments of mourning, and anoint not thyself with oil, and thou hast been as a woman these many days mourning for the dead,2 Samuel 14:3and thou hast gone unto the king, and spoken unto him, according to this word;’ and Joab putteth the words into her mouth.2 Samuel 14:4And the woman of Tekoah speaketh unto the king, and falleth on her face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith, ‘Save, O king.’2 Samuel 14:5And the king saith to her, ‘What—to thee?’ and she saith, ‘Truly a widow woman am I, and my husband dieth,2 Samuel 14:6and thy maid-servant hath two sons; and they strive both of them in a field, and there is no deliverer between them, and the one smiteth the other, and putteth him to death;2 Samuel 14:7and lo, the whole family hath risen against thy maid-servant, and say, Give up him who smiteth his brother, and we put him to death for the life of his brother whom he hath slain, and we destroy also the heir; and they have quenched my coal which is left—so as not to set to my husband a name and remnant on the face of the ground.’2 Samuel 14:8And the king saith unto the woman, ‘Go to thine house, and I give charge concerning thee.’2 Samuel 14:9And the woman of Tekoah saith unto the king, ‘On me, my lord, O king, is the iniquity, and on the house of my father; and the king and his throne are innocent.’2 Samuel 14:10And the king saith, ‘He who speaketh aught unto thee, and thou hast brought him unto me, then he doth not add any more to come against thee.’2 Samuel 14:11And she saith, ‘Let, I pray thee, the king remember by Jehovah thy God, that the redeemer of blood add not to destroy, and they destroy not my son;’ and he saith, ‘Jehovah liveth; if there doth fall of the hair of thy son to the earth.’2 Samuel 14:12And the woman saith, ‘Let, I pray thee, thy maid-servant speak unto my lord the king a word;’ and he saith, ‘Speak.’2 Samuel 14:13And the woman saith, ‘And why hast thou thought thus concerning the people of God? yea, the king is speaking this thing as a guilty one, in that the king hath not brought back his outcast;2 Samuel 14:14for we do surely die, and are as water which is running down to the earth, which is not gathered, and God doth not accept a person, and hath devised devices in that the outcast is not outcast by Him.2 Samuel 14:15And now that I have come to speak unto the king my lord this word, it is because the people made me afraid, and thy maid-servant saith, Let me speak, I pray thee, unto the king; it may be the king doth do the word of his handmaid,2 Samuel 14:16for the king doth hearken to deliver his handmaid out of the paw of the man seeking to destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God,2 Samuel 14:17and thy maid-servant saith, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be for ease; for as a messenger of God so is my lord the king, to understand the good and the evil; and Jehovah thy God is with thee.’2 Samuel 14:18And the king answereth and saith unto the woman, ‘Do not, I pray thee, hide from me the thing that I am asking thee;’ and the woman saith, ‘Let, I pray thee, my lord the king speak.’2 Samuel 14:19And the king saith, ‘Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this?’ And the woman answereth and saith, ‘Thy soul liveth, my lord, O king, none doth turn to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab he commanded me, and he put in the mouth of thy maid-servant all these words;2 Samuel 14:20in order to bring round the appearance of the thing hath thy servant Joab done this thing, and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of a messenger of God, to know all that is in the land.’2 Samuel 14:21And the king saith unto Joab, ‘Lo, I pray thee, thou hast done this thing; and go, bring back the young man Absalom.’2 Samuel 14:22And Joab falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and blesseth the king, and Joab saith, ‘To-day hath thy servant known that I have found grace in thine eyes, my lord, O king, in that the king hath done the word of his servant.’2 Samuel 14:23And Joab riseth and goeth to Geshur, and bringeth in Absalom to Jerusalem,2 Samuel 14:24and the king saith, ‘Let him turn round unto his house, and my face he doth not see.’ And Absalom turneth round unto his house, and the face of the king he hath not seen.2 Samuel 14:25And like Absalom there was no man so fair in all Israel, to praise greatly; from the sole of his foot even unto his crown there was no blemish in him;2 Samuel 14:27And there are born to Absalom three sons, and one daughter, and her name is Tamar; she was a woman of a fair appearance.2 Samuel 15:2and Absalom hath risen early, and stood by the side of the way of the gate, and it cometh to pass, every man who hath a pleading to come unto the king for judgment, that Absalom calleth unto him, and saith, ‘Of what city art thou?’ and he saith, ‘Of one of the tribes of Israel is thy servant.’2 Samuel 15:3And Absalom saith unto him, ‘See, thy matters are good and straightforward—and there is none hearkening to thee from the king.’2 Samuel 15:4And Absalom saith, ‘Who doth make me a judge in the land, that unto me doth come every man who hath a plea and judgment?—then I have declared him righteous.’2 Samuel 15:5And it hath come to pass, in the drawing nearing of any one to bow himself to him, that he hath put forth his hand, and laid hold on him, and given a kiss to him;2 Samuel 15:6and Absalom doth according to this thing to all Israel who come in for judgment unto the king, and Absalom stealeth the heart of the men of Israel.2 Samuel 15:13And he who is declaring tidings cometh in unto David, saying, ‘The heart of the men of Israel hath been after Absalom.’2 Samuel 15:17And the king goeth out, and all the people at his feet, and they stand still at the farthest off house.2 Samuel 18:9And Absalom meeteth before the servants of David, and Absalom is riding on the mule, and the mule cometh in under an entangled bough of the great oak, and his head taketh hold on the oak, and he is placed between the heavens and the earth, and the mule that is under him hath passed on.2 Samuel 18:10And one man seeth, and declareth to Joab, and saith, ‘Lo, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.’2 Samuel 18:11And Joab saith to the man who is declaring it to him, ‘And lo, thou hast seen—and wherefore didst thou not smite him there to the earth—and on me to give to thee ten silverlings and one girdle?’2 Samuel 18:12And the man saith unto Joab, ‘Yea, though I am weighing on my hand a thousand silverlings, I do not put forth my hand unto the son of the king; for in our ears hath the king charged thee, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, Observe ye who is against the youth—against Absalom;2 Samuel 18:13or I had done against my soul a vain thing, and no matter is hid from the king, and thou—thou dost station thyself over-against.’2 Samuel 18:14And Joab saith, ‘Not right—I tarry before thee;’ and he taketh three darts in his hand, and striketh them into the heart of Absalom, while he is alive, in the midst of the oak.2 Samuel 18:15And they go round—ten youths bearing weapons of Joab—and smite Absalom, and put him to death.2 Samuel 18:16And Joab bloweth with a trumpet, and the people turneth back from pursuing after Israel, for Joab hath kept back the people;2 Samuel 18:17and they take Absalom and cast him in the forest unto the great pit, and set up over him a very great heap of stones, and all Israel have fled—each to his tent.2 Samuel 18:18And Absalom hath taken, and setteth up for himself in his life, the standing-pillar that is in the king’s valley, for he said, ‘I have no son to cause my name to be remembered;’ and he calleth the standing-pillar by his own name, and it is called ‘The monument of Absalom’ unto this day.2 Samuel 18:33And the king trembleth, and goeth up on the upper chamber of the gate, and weepeth, and thus he hath said in his going, ‘My son! Absalom my son; my son Absalom; oh that I had died for thee, Absalom, my son, my son.’2 Samuel 19:1And it is declared to Joab, ‘Lo, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom;’2 Samuel 19:2and the salvation on that day becometh mourning to all the people, for the people hath heard on that day, saying, ‘The king hath been grieved for his son.’2 Samuel 19:3And the people stealeth away, on that day, to go in to the city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their fleeing in battle;2 Samuel 19:4and the king hath covered his face, yea, the king crieth—a loud voice—‘My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son.’2 Samuel 19:5And Joab cometh in unto the king to the house, and saith, ‘Thou hast put to shame to-day the faces of all thy servants, those delivering thy life to-day, and the life of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the life of thy wives, and the life of thy concubines,
