And Jonadab H3082 said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Lay thee down H7901 (QalImpv) on thy bed, H4904 and make thyself sick: H2470 (HithImpv) and when thy father H1 cometh H935 (QalPerf) to see H7200 (QalInf) thee, say H559 (QalPerf) unto him, I pray thee, let my sister H269 Tamar H8559 come, H935 (QalImpf) and give H1262 (HiphImpf) me meat, H3899 and dress H6213 (QalPerf) the meat H1279 in my sight, H5869 that I may see H7200 (QalImpf) [it], and eat H398 (QalPerf) [it] at her hand. H3027

And Jonadab saith to him, ‘Lie down on thy couch, and feign thyself sick, and thy father hath come in to see thee, and thou hast said unto him, ‘Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come in and give me bread to eat; and she hath made the food before mine eyes so that I see it, and have eaten from her hand.’

So Amnon lay down and faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.”

So Amnon H550 lay down, H7901 (QalImpf) and made himself sick: H2470 (HithImpf) and when the king H4428 was come H935 (QalImpf) to see H7200 (QalInf) him, Amnon H550 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the king, H4428 I pray thee, let Tamar H8559 my sister H269 come, H935 (QalImpf) and make H3823 (PielImpf) me a couple H8147 of cakes H3834 in my sight, H5869 that I may eat H1262 (QalImpf) at her hand. H3027

And Amnon lieth down, and feigneth himself sick, and the king cometh in to see him, and Amnon saith unto the king, ‘Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come, and she maketh before mine eyes two cakes, and I eat from her hand.’

Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.

And Amnon H550 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Tamar, H8559 Bring H935 (HiphImpv) the meat H1279 into the chamber, H2315 that I may eat H1262 (QalImpf) of thine hand. H3027 And Tamar H8559 took H3947 (QalImpf) the cakes H3834 which she had made, H6213 (QalPerf) and brought H935 (HiphImpf) [them] into the chamber H2315 to Amnon H550 her brother. H251

And Amnon saith unto Tamar, ‘Bring the food into the inner chamber, and I eat from thy hand;’ and Tamar taketh the cakes that she hath made, and bringeth in to Amnon her brother, into the inner chamber,

When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister!”

And when she had brought H5066 (HiphImpf) [them] unto him to eat, H398 (QalInf) he took hold H2388 (HiphImpf) of her, and said H559 (QalImpf) unto her, Come H935 (QalImpv) lie H7901 (QalImpv) with me, my sister. H269

and she bringeth nigh unto him to eat, and he layeth hold on her, and saith to her, ‘Come, lie with me, my sister.’

Absalom came to the king and said, “See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”

And Absalom H53 came H935 (QalImpf) to the king, H4428 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Behold now, thy servant H5650 hath sheepshearers; H1494 (QalActPtc) let H3212 the king, H4428 I beseech thee, and his servants H5650 go H3212 (QalImpf) with thy servant. H5650

And 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.’

While they were on the way, the news came to David, saying, “Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left!”

And it came to pass, while they were in the way, H1870 that tidings H8052 came H935 (QalPerf) to David, H1732 saying, H559 (QalInf) Absalom H53 hath slain H5221 (HiphPerf) all the king’s H4428 sons, H1121 and there is not one H259 of them left. H3498 (NiphPerf)

And it cometh to pass-they are in the way-and the report hath come unto David, saying, ‘Absalom hath smitten all the sons of the king, and there is not left of them one;’

Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.”

And Jonadab H3122 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the king, H4428 Behold, the king’s H4428 sons H1121 come: H935 (QalPerf) as thy servant H5650 said, H1697 so it is.

And Jonadab saith unto the king, ‘Lo, the sons of the king have come; as the word of thy servant, so it hath been.’

As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end H3615 (PielInf) of speaking, H1696 (PielInf) that, behold, the king’s H4428 sons H1121 came, H935 (QalPerf) and lifted up H5375 (QalImpf) their voice H6963 and wept: H1058 (QalImpf) and the king H4428 also and all his servants H5650 wept H1058 (QalPerf) very H3966 sore. H1065 H1419

And it cometh to pass at his finishing to speak, that lo, the sons of the king have come, and they lift up their voice, and weep, and also the king and all his servants have wept-a very great weeping.

Go in to the king and speak like this to him.” So Joab put the words in her mouth.

And come H935 (QalPerf) to the king, H4428 and speak H1696 (PielPerf) on this manner H1697 unto him. So Joab H3097 put H7760 (QalImpf) the words H1697 in her mouth. H6310

and thou hast gone unto the king, and spoken unto him, according to this word;’ and Joab putteth the words into her mouth.

The king said, “Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he will not bother you any more.”

And the king H4428 said, H559 (QalImpf) Whosoever saith H1696 (PielPtc) [ought] unto thee, bring H935 (HiphPerf) him to me, and he shall not touch H5060 (QalInf) thee any more. H3254 (HiphImpf)

And 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.’

Now therefore, seeing that I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid. Your servant said, ‘I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.’

Now therefore that I am come H935 (QalPerf) to speak H1696 (PielInf) of this thing H1697 unto my lord H113 the king, H4428 [it is] because the people H5971 have made me afraid: H3372 (PielPerf) and thy handmaid H8198 said, H559 (QalImpf) I will now speak H1696 (PielImpf) unto the king; H4428 it may be that the king H4428 will perform H6213 (QalImpf) the request H1697 of his handmaid. H519

‘And 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,

So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

So Joab H3097 arose H6965 (QalImpf) and went H3212 (QalImpf) to Geshur, H1650 and brought H935 (HiphImpf) Absalom H53 to Jerusalem. H3389

And Joab riseth and goeth to Geshur, and bringeth in Absalom to Jerusalem,

Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. Then he sent again a second time, but he would not come.

Therefore Absalom H53 sent H7971 (QalImpf) for Joab, H3097 to have sent H7971 (QalInf) him to the king; H4428 but he would H14 (QalPerf) not come H935 (QalInf) to him: and when he sent again H7971 (QalImpf) the second time, H8145 he would H14 (QalPerf) not come. H935 (QalInf)

and Absalom sendeth unto Joab, to send him unto the king, and he hath not been willing to come unto him; and he sendeth again a second time, and he hath not been willing to come.

Then Joab arose and came to Absalom to his house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?”

Then Joab H3097 arose, H6965 (QalImpf) and came H935 (QalImpf) to Absalom H53 unto [his] house, H1004 and said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Wherefore have thy servants H5650 set H3341 (HiphPerf) my field H2513 on fire? H784

And Joab riseth and cometh unto Absalom in the house, and saith unto him, ‘Why have thy servants burned the portion that I have with fire?’

Absalom answered Joab, “Behold, I sent to you, saying, ‘Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still. Now therefore, let me see the king’s face; and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.” ’ ”

And Absalom H53 answered H559 (QalImpf) Joab, H3097 Behold, I sent H7971 (QalPerf) unto thee, saying, H559 (QalInf) Come H935 (QalImpv) hither, that I may send H7971 (QalImpf) thee to the king, H4428 to say, H559 (QalInf) Wherefore am I come H935 (QalPerf) from Geshur? H1650 [it had been] good H2896 for me [to have been] there still: now therefore let me see H7200 (QalImpf) the king’s H4428 face; H6440 and if there be H3426 [any] iniquity H5771 in me, let him kill H4191 (HiphPerf) me.

And Absalom saith unto Joab, ‘Lo, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, and I send thee unto the king to say, Why have I come in from Geshur?-good for me while I am there-and now, let me see the king’s face, and if there is in me iniquity then thou hast put me to death.’
