As for me, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.”

And I, whither shall I cause my shame H2781 to go? H3212 (HiphImpf) and as for thee, thou shalt be as one H259 of the fools H5036 in Israel. H3478 Now therefore, I pray thee, speak H1696 (PielImpv) unto the king; H4428 for he will not withhold H4513 (QalImpf) me from thee.

και εγω που αποισω το ονειδος μου και συ εση ως εις των αφρονων εν ισραηλ και νυν λαλησον δη προς τον βασιλεα οτι ου μη κωλυση με απο σου

Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.

And Absalom H53 her brother H251 said H559 (QalImpf) unto her, Hath Amnon H550 thy brother H251 been with thee? but hold now thy peace, H2790 (HiphImpv) my sister: H269 he is thy brother; H251 regard H7896 (QalImpf) H3820 not this thing.^§ H1697 So Tamar H8559 remained H3427 (QalImpf) desolate^§ H8074 (QalActPtc) in her brother H251 Absalom’s H53 house.

Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered, “Don’t let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

Joab sent to Tekoa and brought a wise woman from there, and said to her, “Please act like a mourner, and put on mourning clothing, please, and don’t anoint yourself with oil; but be as a woman who has mourned a long time for the dead.

When he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year’s end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels,° after the king’s weight.

2 Samuel 14:26 A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces, so 200 shekels is about 2 kilograms or about 4.4 pounds.

And when he polled H1548 (PielInf) his head, H7218 (for it was at every year’s H3117 H3117 end H7093 that he polled H1548 (PielImpf) it; because the hair was heavy H3513 (QalPerf) on him, therefore he polled H1548 (PielPerf) it;) he weighed H8254 (QalPerf) the hair H8181 of his head H7218 at two hundred H3967 shekels H8255 after the king’s H4428 weight.

And he said, H559 (QalImpf) Thy servant H5650 is of one H259 of the tribes H7626 of Israel. H3478

2 Samuel 15:2 Heb. to come

και εγενετο εν τω εγγιζειν ανδρα του προσκυνησαι αυτω και εξετεινεν την χειρα αυτου και επελαμβανετο αυτου και κατεφιλησεν αυτον

At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Yahweh, in Hebron.

And it came to pass after H7093 forty H705 years, H8141 that Absalom H53 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the king, H4428 I pray thee, let me go H3212 (QalImpf) and pay H7999 (PielImpf) my vow, H5088 which I have vowed H5087 (QalPerf) unto the Lord, H3068 in Hebron. H2275

A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”

And there came H935 (QalImpf) a messenger H5046 (HiphPtc) to David, H1732 saying, H559 (QalInf) The hearts H3820 of the men H376 of Israel H3478 are after H310 Absalom. H53

και παρεγενετο ο απαγγελλων προς δαυιδ λεγων εγενηθη η καρδια ανδρων ισραηλ οπισω αβεσσαλωμ

David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”

Ittai answered the king and said, “As Yahweh lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”

And Ittai H863 answered H6030 (QalImpf) the king, H4428 and said, H559 (QalImpf) As the Lord H3068 liveth, H2416 and as my lord H113 the king H4428 liveth, H2416 surely in what place H4725 my lord H113 the king H4428 shall be, whether in death H4194 or life, H2416 even there also will thy servant H5650 be.

but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’

but if thou return H7725 (QalImpf) to the city, H5892 and say H559 (QalPerf) unto Absalom, H53 I will be thy servant, H5650 O king; H4428 as I have been thy father’s H1 servant H5650 hitherto, H227 so will I now also be thy servant: H5650 then mayest thou for me defeat H6565 (HiphPerf) the counsel H6098 of Ahithophel.

και ειπεν χουσι προς αβεσσαλωμ ουχι αλλα κατοπισθεν ου εξελεξατο κυριος και ο λαος ουτος και πας ανηρ ισραηλ αυτω εσομαι και μετ αυτου καθησομαι

Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn’t I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so I will be in your presence.”

And again, H8145 whom should I serve? H5647 (QalImpf) should I not serve in the presence H6440 of his son? H1121 as I have served H5647 (QalPerf) in thy father’s H1 presence, H6440 so will I be in thy presence. H6440

and I will bring back all the people to you. The man whom you seek is as if all returned. All the people shall be in peace.”

and I will bring back H7725 (HiphImpf) all the people H5971 unto thee: the man H376 whom thou seekest H1245 (PielPtc) is as if all returned: H7725 (QalInf) so all the people H5971 shall be in peace. H7965

But the people said, “You shall not go out, for if we flee away, they will not care for us, neither if half of us die, will they care for us. But you are worth ten thousand of us. Therefore now it is better that you are ready to help us out of the city.”

But the people H5971 answered, H559 (QalImpf) Thou shalt not go forth: H3318 (QalImpf) for if we flee H5127 (QalImpf) away, H5127 (QalInf) they will not care H7760 (QalImpf) H3820 for us;^§ neither if half H2677 of us die, H4191 (QalImpf) will they care H7760 (QalImpf) H3820 for us: but now thou art worth H3644 ten H6235 thousand H505 of us:^§ therefore now it is better H2896 that thou succour^§ H5826 (QalInf) (Qere) H5826 (HiphInf) us out of the city.

Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said yet again to Joab, “But come what may, please let me also run after the Cushite.” Joab said, “Why do you want to run, my son, since you will have no reward for the news?”

Then said H559 (QalImpf) Ahimaaz H290 the son H1121 of Zadok H6659 yet again H3254 (HiphImpf) to Joab, H3097 But howsoever,^§ H4100 let me, I pray thee, also run H7323 (QalImpf) after H310 Cushi.

The king said to the Cushite, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” The Cushite answered, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you to do you harm, be as that young man is.”

H7965 And Cushi H3569 answered, H559 (QalImpf) The enemies H341 (QalActPtc) of my lord H113 the king, H4428 and all that rise H6965 (QalPerf) against thee to do thee hurt, H7451 be as that young man H5288 is.
