And, behold, the servantsh5650 of Davidh1732 and Joabh3097 cameh935h8802 from pursuing a trooph1416, and brought inh935h8689 a greath7227 spoilh7998 with them: but Abnerh74 was not with Davidh1732 in Hebronh2275; for he had sent him awayh7971h8765, and he was goneh3212h8799 in peaceh7965.

23

When Joabh3097 and all the hosth6635 that was with him were comeh935h8804, they toldh5046h8686 Joabh3097, sayingh559h8800, Abnerh74 the sonh1121 of Nerh5369 cameh935h8804 to the kingh4428, and he hath sent him awayh7971h8762, and he is goneh3212h8799 in peaceh7965.

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 to Joabh3097, and to all the peopleh5971 that were with him, Rendh7167h8798 your clothesh899, and girdh2296h8798 you with sackclothh8242, and mournh5594h8798 beforeh6440 Abnerh74. And kingh4428 Davidh1732 himself followedh1980h8802h310 the bierh4296. bier: Heb. bed

34

Thy handsh3027 were not boundh631h8803, nor thy feeth7272 puth5066h8717 into fettersh5178: as a man fallethh5307h8800 beforeh6440 wickedh5766 menh1121, so fellesth5307h8804 thou. And all the peopleh5971 wepth1058h8800 againh3254h8686 over him. wicked...: Heb. children of iniquity

36

And all the peopleh5971 took noticeh5234h8689 of it , and it pleasedh3190h8799h5869 them: as whatsoever the kingh4428 didh6213h8804 pleasedh5869h2896 all the peopleh5971. pleased them: Heb. was good in their eyes

38

And the kingh4428 saidh559h8799 unto his servantsh5650, Knowh3045h8799 ye not that there is a princeh8269 and a great manh1419 fallenh5307h8804 this dayh3117 in Israelh3478?

39

And I am this dayh3117 weakh7390, though anointedh4886h8803 kingh4428; and these menh582 the sonsh1121 of Zeruiahh6870 be too hardh7186 for me: the LORDh3068 shall rewardh7999h8762 the doer of evilh6213h8802 according to his wickednessh7451. weak: Heb. tender
