And thy handmaidh8198 had twoh8147 sonsh1121, and they twoh8147 strove togetherh5327h8735 in the fieldh7704, and there was none to parth5337h8688 them, but the oneh259 smoteh5221h8686 the otherh259, and slewh4191h8686 him. none...: Heb. no deliverer between them

And the kingh4428 saidh559h8799, Whosoever saithh1696h8764 ought unto thee, bringh935h8689 him to me, and he shall not touchh5060h8800 thee any moreh3254h8686.

11

Then saidh559h8799 she, I pray thee, let the kingh4428 rememberh2142h8799 the LORDh3068 thy Godh430, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengersh1350h8802 of bloodh1818 to destroyh7843h8763 any moreh7235h8687, lest they destroyh8045h8686 my sonh1121. And he saidh559h8799, As the LORDh3068 livethh2416, there shall not one hairh8185 of thy sonh1121 fallh5307h8799 to the earthh776. that...: Heb. that the revenger of blood do not multiply to destroy

13

And the womanh802 saidh559h8799, Wherefore then hast thou thoughth2803h8804 such a thing against the peopleh5971 of Godh430? for the kingh4428 doth speakh1696h8693 this thingh1697 as one which is faultyh818, in that the kingh4428 doth not fetch home againh7725h8687 his banishedh5080h8737.

14

For we must needsh4191h8800 dieh4191h8799, and are as waterh4325 spilth5064h8737 on the groundh776, which cannot be gathered up againh622h8735; neither doth Godh430 respecth5375h8799 any personh5315: yet doth he deviseh2803h8804 meansh4284, that his banishedh5080h8737 be not expelledh5080h8799 from him. neither...: or, because God hath not taken away his life, he hath also devised means, etc

15

Now therefore that I am comeh935h8804 to speakh1696h8763 of this thingh1697 unto my lordh113 the kingh4428, it is because the peopleh5971 have made me afraidh3372h8765: and thy handmaidh8198 saidh559h8799, I will now speakh1696h8762 unto the kingh4428; it may be that the kingh4428 will performh6213h8799 the requesth1697 of his handmaidh519.

16

For the kingh4428 will hearh8085h8799, to deliverh5337h8687 his handmaidh519 out of the handh3709 of the manh376 that would destroyh8045h8687 me and my sonh1121 togetherh3162 out of the inheritanceh5159 of Godh430.

17

Then thine handmaidh8198 saidh559h8799, The wordh1697 of my lordh113 the kingh4428 shall now be comfortableh4496: for as an angelh4397 of Godh430, so is my lordh113 the kingh4428 to discernh8085h8800 goodh2896 and badh7451: therefore the LORDh3068 thy Godh430 will be with thee. comfortable: Heb. for rest

18

Then the kingh4428 answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799 unto the womanh802, Hideh3582h8762 not from me, I pray thee, the thingh1697 that I shall askh7592h8802 thee. And the womanh802 saidh559h8799, Let my lordh113 the kingh4428 now speakh1696h8762.

19

And the kingh4428 saidh559h8799, Is not the handh3027 of Joabh3097 with thee in all this? And the womanh802 answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799, As thy soulh5315 livethh2416, my lordh113 the kingh4428, noneh376 canh786 turn to the right handh3231h8687 or to the lefth8041h8687 from ought that my lordh113 the kingh4428 hath spokenh1696h8765: for thy servanth5650 Joabh3097, he badeh6680h8765 me, and he puth7760h8804 all these wordsh1697 in the mouthh6310 of thine handmaidh8198:

20

Toh5668 fetch abouth5437h8763 this formh6440 of speechh1697 hath thy servanth5650 Joabh3097 doneh6213h8804 this thingh1697: and my lordh113 is wiseh2450, according to the wisdomh2451 of an angelh4397 of Godh430, to knowh3045h8800 all things that are in the earthh776.

21

And the kingh4428 saidh559h8799 unto Joabh3097, Behold now, I have doneh6213h8804 this thingh1697: goh3212h8798 therefore, bringh7725 the young manh5288 Absalomh53 againh7725h8685.

22

And Joabh3097 fellh5307h8799 to the groundh776 on his faceh6440, and bowedh7812h8691 himself, and thankedh1288h8762 the kingh4428: and Joabh3097 saidh559h8799, To dayh3117 thy servanth5650 knowethh3045h8804 that I have foundh4672h8804 graceh2580 in thy sighth5869, my lordh113, O kingh4428, in that the kingh4428 hath fulfilledh6213h8804 the requesth1697 of his servanth5650. thanked: Heb. blessed
his servant: or, thy servant

23

So Joabh3097 aroseh6965h8799 and wenth3212h8799 to Geshurh1650, and broughth935h8686 Absalomh53 to Jerusalemh3389.

24

And the kingh4428 saidh559h8799, Let him turnh5437h8735 to his own househ1004, and let him not seeh7200h8799 my faceh6440. So Absalomh53 returnedh5437h8735 to his own househ1004, and sawh7200h8804 not the king'sh4428 faceh6440.

25

But in all Israelh3478 there was noneh376 to be so muchh3966 praisedh1984h8763 as Absalomh53 for his beautyh3303: from the soleh3709 of his footh7272 even to the crown of his headh6936 there was no blemishh3971 in him. But...: Heb. And as Absalom there was not a beautiful man in all Israel to praise greatly

26

And when he polledh1548h8763 his headh7218, (for it was at every year'sh3117h3117 endh7093 that he polledh1548h8762 it : because the hair was heavyh3513h8804 on him, therefore he polledh1548h8765 it:) he weighedh8254h8804 the hairh8181 of his headh7218 at two hundredh3967 shekelsh8255 after the king'sh4428 weighth68.

27

And unto Absalomh53 there were bornh3205h8735 threeh7969 sonsh1121, and oneh259 daughterh1323, whose nameh8034 was Tamarh8559: she was a womanh802 of a fairh3303 countenanceh4758.

28

So Absalomh53 dwelth3427h8799 two fullh3117 yearsh8141 in Jerusalemh3389, and sawh7200h8804 not the king'sh4428 faceh6440.

29

Therefore Absalomh53 senth7971h8799 for Joabh3097, to have senth7971h8800 him to the kingh4428; but he wouldh14h8804 not comeh935h8800 to him: and when he sent againh7971h8799 the second timeh8145, he wouldh14h8804 not comeh935h8800.

30

Therefore he saidh559h8799 unto his servantsh5650, Seeh7200h8798, Joab'sh3097 fieldh2513 is nearh413 mineh3027, and he hath barleyh8184 there; goh3212h8798 and seth3341h8685 it on fireh784. And Absalom'sh53 servantsh5650 seth3341h8686 the fieldh2513 on fireh784. near...: Heb. near my place

31

Then Joabh3097 aroseh6965h8799, and cameh935h8799 to Absalomh53 unto his househ1004, and saidh559h8799 unto him, Wherefore have thy servantsh5650 seth3341h8689 my fieldh2513 on fireh784?

32

And Absalomh53 answeredh559h8799 Joabh3097, Behold, I senth7971h8804 unto thee, sayingh559h8800, Comeh935h8798 hither, that I may sendh7971h8799 thee to the kingh4428, to sayh559h8800, Wherefore am I comeh935h8804 from Geshurh1650? it had been goodh2896 for me to have been there still: now therefore let me seeh7200h8799 the king'sh4428 faceh6440; and if there beh3426 any iniquityh5771 in me, let him killh4191h8689 me.

33

So Joabh3097 cameh935h8799 to the kingh4428, and toldh5046h8686 him: and when he had calledh7121h8799 for Absalomh53, he cameh935h8799 to the kingh4428, and bowedh7812h8691 himself on his faceh639 to the groundh776 beforeh6440 the kingh4428: and the kingh4428 kissedh5401h8799 Absalomh53.
