And Joabh3097 cameh935h8799 into the househ1004 to the kingh4428, and saidh559h8799, Thou hast shamedh3001h8689 this dayh3117 the facesh6440 of all thy servantsh5650, which this dayh3117 have savedh4422h8764 thy lifeh5315, and the livesh5315 of thy sonsh1121 and of thy daughtersh1323, and the livesh5315 of thy wivesh802, and the livesh5315 of thy concubinesh6370;

In that thou lovesth157h8800 thine enemiesh8130h8802, and hatesth8130h8800 thy friendsh157h8802. For thou hast declaredh5046h8689 this dayh3117, that thou regardest neither princesh8269 nor servantsh5650: for this dayh3117 I perceiveh3045h8804, that ifh3863 Absalomh53 had livedh2416, and all we had diedh4191h8801 this dayh3117, then it had pleased thee wellh3477h5869. in...: Heb.

10

And Absalomh53, whom we anointedh4886h8804 over us, is deadh4191h8804 in battleh4421. Now therefore why speakh2790h8688 ye not a word of bringingh7725 the kingh4428 backh7725h8687? speak...: Heb. are ye silent?

12

Ye are my brethrenh251, ye are my bonesh6106 and my fleshh1320: wherefore then are ye the lasth314 to bring backh7725h8687 the kingh4428?

13

And sayh559h8799 ye to Amasah6021, Art thou not of my boneh6106, and of my fleshh1320? Godh430 doh6213h8799 so to me, and moreh3254h8686 also, if thou be not captainh8269 of the hosth6635 beforeh6440 me continuallyh3117 in the roomh8478 of Joabh3097.

20

For thy servanth5650 doth knowh3045h8804 that I have sinnedh2398h8804: therefore, behold, I am comeh935h8804 the firsth7223 this dayh3117 of all the househ1004 of Josephh3130 to go downh3381h8800 to meeth7125h8800 my lordh113 the kingh4428.

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799, What have I to do with you, ye sonsh1121 of Zeruiahh6870, that ye should this dayh3117 be adversariesh7854 unto me? shall there any manh376 be put to deathh4191h8714 this dayh3117 in Israelh3478? for do not I knowh3045h8804 that I am this dayh3117 kingh4428 over Israelh3478?

And Mephiboshethh4648 the sonh1121 of Saulh7586 came downh3381h8804 to meeth7125h8800 the kingh4428, and had neitherh3808 dressedh6213h8804 his feeth7272, nor trimmedh6213h8804 his beardh8222, nor washedh3526h8765 his clothesh899, from the dayh3117 the kingh4428 departedh3212h8800 until the dayh3117 he cameh935h8804 again in peaceh7965.

For all of my father'sh1 househ1004 were buth3808 deadh4194 menh582 before my lordh113 the kingh4428: yet didst thou seth7896h8799 thy servanth5650 among them that did eath398h8802 at thine own tableh7979.

And Mephiboshethh4648 saidh559h8799 unto the kingh4428, Yea, let him takeh3947h8799 all, forasmuchh310 ash834 my lordh113 the kingh4428 is come againh935h8804 in peaceh7965 unto his own househ1004.

And Barzillaih1271 the Gileaditeh1569 came downh3381h8804 from Rogelimh7274, and went overh5674h8799 Jordanh3383 with the kingh4428, to conducth7971h8763 him over Jordanh3383.

36

Thy servanth5650 will goh5674 a little wayh4592 overh5674h8799 Jordanh3383 with the kingh4428: and why should the kingh4428 recompenseh1580h8799 it me with such a rewardh1578?

37

Let thy servanth5650, I pray thee, turn back againh7725h8799, that I may dieh4191h8799 in mine own cityh5892, and be buried by the graveh6913 of my fatherh1 and of my motherh517.

Then the kingh4428 went onh5674h8799 to Gilgalh1537, and Chimhamh3643 went onh5674h8804 with him: and all the peopleh5971 of Judahh3063 conductedh5674h8689h8675h5674h8686 the kingh4428, and also halfh2677 the peopleh5971 of Israelh3478. Chimham: Heb. Chimhan
