2 Samuel 19 (WEBP)
[1] Joab was told, “Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.”
[2] The victory that day was turned into mourning among all the people, for the people heard it said that day, “The king grieves for his son.”
[3] The people sneaked into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
[4] The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”
[5] Joab came into the house to the king, and said, “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants who today have saved your life, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines;
[6] in that you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have declared today that princes and servants are nothing to you. For today I perceive that if Absalom had lived and we had all died today, then it would have pleased you well.
[7] Now therefore arise, go out and speak to comfort your servants; for I swear by Yahweh, if you don’t go out, not a man will stay with you this night. That would be worse to you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now.”
[8] Then the king arose and sat in the gate. The people were all told, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” All the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.
[9] All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.
[10] Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why don’t you speak a word of bringing the king back?”
[11] King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the speech of all Israel has come to the king, to return him to his house?
[12] You are my brothers. You are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?’
[13] Say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you aren’t captain of the army before me continually instead of Joab.’ ”
[14] He bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as one man, so that they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”
[15] So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.
[16] Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.
[17] There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of Saul’s house, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went through the Jordan in the presence of the king.
[18] A ferry boat went to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king when he had come over the Jordan.
[19] He said to the king, “Don’t let my lord impute iniquity to me, or remember that which your servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
[20] For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore behold, I have come today as the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.”
[21] But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Yahweh’s anointed?”
[22] David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For don’t I know that I am king over Israel today?”
[23] The king said to Shimei, “You will not die.” The king swore to him.
[24] Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither groomed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.
[25] When he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”
[26] He answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ because your servant is lame.
[27] He has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.
[28] For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should appeal any more to the king?”
[29] The king said to him, “Why do you speak any more of your matters? I say, you and Ziba divide the land.”
[30] Mephibosheth said to the king, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.”
[31] Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king to conduct him over the Jordan.
[32] Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old. He had provided the king with sustenance while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.
[33] The king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem.”
[34] Barzillai said to the king, “How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
[35] I am eighty years old, today. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of singing men and singing women any more? Why then should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?
[36] Your servant will just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?
[37] Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.”
[38] The king answered, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. Whatever you request of me, that I will do for you.”
[39] All the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over. Then the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
[40] So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.
[41] Behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king and his household, over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him?”
[42] All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? Or has he given us any gift?”
[43] The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, “We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more claim to David than you. Why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?” The words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

2 Samuel 19 (KJVS)
[1] And it was told H5046 (HophImpf) Joab, H3097 Behold, the king H4428 weepeth H1058 (QalActPtc) and mourneth H56 (HithImpf) for Absalom. H53
[2] And the victory H8668 that day H3117 was [turned] into mourning H60 unto all the people: H5971 for the people H5971 heard H8085 (QalPerf) say H559 (QalInf) that day H3117 how the king H4428 was grieved H6087 (NiphPerf) for his son. H1121
[3] And the people H5971 gat H935 (QalInf) them by stealth H1589 (HithImpf) that day H3117 into the city, H5892 as people H5971 being ashamed H3637 (NiphPtc) steal away H1589 (HithImpf) when they flee H5127 (QalInf) in battle. H4421
[4] But the king H4428 covered H3813 (QalPerf) his face, H6440 and the king H4428 cried H2199 (QalImpf) with a loud H1419 voice, H6963 O my son H1121 Absalom, H53 O Absalom, H53 my son, H1121 my son! H1121
[5] And Joab H3097 came H935 (QalImpf) into the house H1004 to the king, H4428 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Thou hast shamed H3001 (HiphPerf) this day H3117 the faces H6440 of all thy servants, H5650 which this day H3117 have saved H4422 (PielPtc) thy life, H5315 and the lives H5315 of thy sons H1121 and of thy daughters, H1323 and the lives H5315 of thy wives, H802 and the lives H5315 of thy concubines; H6370
[6] In that thou lovest H157 (QalInf) thine enemies, H8130 (QalActPtc) and hatest H8130 (QalInf) thy friends. H157 (QalActPtc) For thou hast declared H5046 (HiphPerf) this day, H3117 that thou regardest neither princes H8269 nor servants: H5650 for this day H3117 I perceive, H3045 (QalPerf) that if H3863 Absalom H53 had lived, H2416 and all we had died H4191 (QalPtc) this day, H3117 then it had pleased thee well. H3477 H5869
[7] Now therefore arise, H6965 (QalImpv) go forth, H3318 (QalImpv) and speak H1696 (PielImpv) comfortably H3820 unto thy servants: H5650 for I swear H7650 (NiphPerf) by the Lord, H3068 if thou go not forth, H3318 (QalActPtc) there will not tarry H3885 (QalImpf) one H376 with thee this night: H3915 and that will be worse H7489 (QalPerf) unto thee than all the evil H7451 that befell H935 (QalPerf) thee from thy youth H5271 until now.
[8] Then the king H4428 arose, H6965 (QalImpf) and sat H3427 (QalImpf) in the gate. H8179 And they told H5046 (HiphPerf) unto all the people, H5971 saying, H559 (QalInf) Behold, the king H4428 doth sit H3427 (QalActPtc) in the gate. H8179 And all the people H5971 came H935 (QalImpf) before H6440 the king: H4428 for Israel H3478 had fled H5127 (QalPerf) every man H376 to his tent. H168
[9] And all the people H5971 were at strife H1777 (NiphPtc) throughout all the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 (QalInf) The king H4428 saved H5337 (HiphPerf) us out of the hand H3709 of our enemies, H341 (QalActPtc) and he delivered H4422 (PielPerf) us out of the hand H3709 of the Philistines; H6430 and now he is fled H1272 (QalPerf) out of the land H776 for Absalom. H53
[10] And Absalom, H53 whom we anointed H4886 (QalPerf) over us, is dead H4191 (QalPerf) in battle. H4421 Now therefore why speak H2790 (HiphPtc) ye not a word of bringing H7725 the king H4428 back? H7725 (HiphInf)
[11] And king H4428 David H1732 sent H7971 (QalPerf) to Zadok H6659 and to Abiathar H54 the priests, H3548 saying, H559 (QalInf) Speak H1696 (PielImpv) unto the elders H2205 of Judah, H3063 saying, H559 (QalInf) Why are ye the last H314 to bring H7725 the king H4428 back H7725 (HiphInf) to his house? H1004 seeing the speech H1697 of all Israel H3478 is come H935 (QalPerf) to the king, H4428 [even] to his house. H1004
[12] Ye [are] my brethren, H251 ye [are] my bones H6106 and my flesh: H1320 wherefore then are ye the last H314 to bring back H7725 (HiphInf) the king? H4428
[13] And say H559 (QalImpf) ye to Amasa, H6021 [Art] thou not of my bone, H6106 and of my flesh? H1320 God H430 do H6213 (QalImpf) so to me, and more H3254 (HiphImpf) also, if thou be not captain H8269 of the host H6635 before H6440 me continually H3117 in the room H8478 of Joab. H3097
[14] And he bowed H5186 (HiphImpf) the heart H3824 of all the men H376 of Judah, H3063 even as [the heart of] one H259 man; H376 so that they sent H7971 (QalImpf) [this word] unto the king, H4428 Return H7725 (QalImpv) thou, and all thy servants. H5650
[15] So the king H4428 returned, H7725 (QalImpf) and came H935 (QalImpf) to Jordan. H3383 And Judah H3063 came H935 (QalPerf) to Gilgal, H1537 to go H3212 (QalInf) to meet H7125 (QalInf) the king, H4428 to conduct H5674 the king H4428 over H5674 (HiphInf) Jordan. H3383
[16] And Shimei H8096 the son H1121 of Gera, H1617 a Benjamite, H1145 which [was] of Bahurim, H980 hasted H4116 (PielImpf) and came down H3381 (QalImpf) with the men H376 of Judah H3063 to meet H7125 (QalInf) king H4428 David. H1732
[17] And [there were] a thousand H505 men H376 of Benjamin H1145 with him, and Ziba H6717 the servant H5288 of the house H1004 of Saul, H7586 and his fifteen H2568 H6240 sons H1121 and his twenty H6242 servants H5650 with him; and they went over H6743 (QalPerf) Jordan H3383 before H6440 the king. H4428
[18] And there went over H5674 (QalPerf) a ferry boat H5679 to carry over H5674 (HiphInf) the king’s H4428 household, H1004 and to do H6213 (QalInf) what he thought H5869 good. H2896 And Shimei H8096 the son H1121 of Gera H1617 fell down H5307 (QalPerf) before H6440 the king, H4428 as he was come over H5674 (QalInf) Jordan; H3383
[19] And said H559 (QalImpf) unto the king, H4428 Let not my lord H113 impute H2803 (QalImpf) iniquity H5771 unto me, neither do thou remember H2142 (QalImpf) that which thy servant H5650 did perversely H5753 (HiphPerf) the day H3117 that my lord H113 the king H4428 went out H3318 (QalPerf) of Jerusalem, H3389 that the king H4428 should take H7760 (QalInf) it to his heart. H3820
[20] For thy servant H5650 doth know H3045 (QalPerf) that I have sinned: H2398 (QalPerf) therefore, behold, I am come H935 (QalPerf) the first H7223 this day H3117 of all the house H1004 of Joseph H3130 to go down H3381 (QalInf) to meet H7125 (QalInf) my lord H113 the king. H4428
[21] But Abishai H52 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 answered H6030 (QalImpf) and said, H559 (QalImpf) Shall not Shimei H8096 be put to death H4191 (HophImpf) for this, because he cursed H7043 (PielPerf) the Lord’s H3068 anointed? H4899
[22] And David H1732 said, H559 (QalImpf) What have I to do with you, ye sons H1121 of Zeruiah, H6870 that ye should this day H3117 be adversaries H7854 unto me? shall there any man H376 be put to death H4191 (HophImpf) this day H3117 in Israel? H3478 for do not I know H3045 (QalPerf) that I [am] this day H3117 king H4428 over Israel? H3478
[23] Therefore the king H4428 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Shimei, H8096 Thou shalt not die. H4191 (QalImpf) And the king H4428 sware H7650 (NiphImpf) unto him.
[24] And Mephibosheth H4648 the son H1121 of Saul H7586 came down H3381 (QalPerf) to meet H7125 (QalInf) the king, H4428 and had neither H3808 dressed H6213 (QalPerf) his feet, H7272 nor trimmed H6213 (QalPerf) his beard, H8222 nor washed H3526 (PielPerf) his clothes, H899 from the day H3117 the king H4428 departed H3212 (QalInf) until the day H3117 he came H935 (QalPerf) [again] in peace. H7965
[25] And it came to pass, when he was come H935 (QalPerf) to Jerusalem H3389 to meet H7125 (QalInf) the king, H4428 that the king H4428 said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Wherefore wentest H1980 (QalPerf) not thou with me, Mephibosheth? H4648
[26] And he answered, H559 (QalImpf) My lord, H113 O king, H4428 my servant H5650 deceived H7411 (PielPerf) me: for thy servant H5650 said, H559 (QalPerf) I will saddle H2280 (QalImpf) me an ass, H2543 that I may ride H7392 (QalImpf) thereon, and go H3212 (QalImpf) to the king; H4428 because thy servant H5650 [is] lame. H6455
[27] And he hath slandered H7270 (PielImpf) thy servant H5650 unto my lord H113 the king; H4428 but my lord H113 the king H4428 [is] as an angel H4397 of God: H430 do H6213 (QalImpv) therefore [what is] good H2896 in thine eyes. H5869
[28] For all [of] my father’s H1 house H1004 were but H3808 dead H4194 men H582 before my lord H113 the king: H4428 yet didst thou set H7896 (QalImpf) thy servant H5650 among them that did eat H398 (QalActPtc) at thine own table. H7979 What right H6666 therefore have H3426 I yet to cry H2199 (QalInf) any more unto the king? H4428
[29] And the king H4428 said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Why speakest H1696 (PielImpf) thou any more of thy matters? H1697 I have said, H559 (QalPerf) Thou and Ziba H6717 divide H2505 (QalImpf) the land. H7704
[30] And Mephibosheth H4648 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the king, H4428 Yea, let him take H3947 (QalImpf) all, forasmuch H310 as H834 my lord H113 the king H4428 is come again H935 (QalPerf) in peace H7965 unto his own house. H1004
[31] And Barzillai H1271 the Gileadite H1569 came down H3381 (QalPerf) from Rogelim, H7274 and went over H5674 (QalImpf) Jordan H3383 with the king, H4428 to conduct H7971 (PielInf) him over Jordan. H3383
[32] Now Barzillai H1271 was a very H3966 aged H2204 (QalPerf) man, [even] fourscore H8084 years H8141 old: H1121 and he had provided the king H4428 of sustenance H3557 (PilpPerf) while he lay H7871 at Mahanaim; H4266 for he [was] a very H3966 great H1419 man. H376
[33] And the king H4428 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Barzillai, H1271 Come thou over H5674 (QalImpv) with me, and I will feed H3557 (PilpPerf) thee with me in Jerusalem. H3389
[34] And Barzillai H1271 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the king, H4428 How long H3117 have I to live, H8141 H2416 that I should go up H5927 (QalImpf) with the king H4428 unto Jerusalem? H3389
[35] I [am] this day H3117 fourscore H8084 years H8141 old: H1121 [and] can I discern H3045 (QalImpf) between good H2896 and evil? H7451 can thy servant H5650 taste H2938 (QalImpf) what H834 I eat H398 (QalImpf) or what H834 I drink? H8354 (QalImpf) can I hear H8085 (QalImpf) any more the voice H6963 of singing men H7891 (QalActPtc) and singing women? H7891 (QalActPtc) wherefore then should thy servant H5650 be yet a burden H4853 unto my lord H113 the king? H4428
[36] Thy servant H5650 will go H5674 a little way H4592 over H5674 (QalImpf) Jordan H3383 with the king: H4428 and why should the king H4428 recompense H1580 (QalImpf) it me with such a reward? H1578
[37] Let thy servant, H5650 I pray thee, turn back again, H7725 (QalImpf) that I may die H4191 (QalImpf) in mine own city, H5892 [and be buried] by the grave H6913 of my father H1 and of my mother. H517 But behold thy servant H5650 Chimham; H3643 let him go over H5674 (QalImpf) with my lord H113 the king; H4428 and do H6213 (QalImpv) to him what shall seem good H2896 H5869 unto thee.
[38] And the king H4428 answered, H559 (QalImpf) Chimham H3643 shall go H5674 (QalImpf) over with me, and I will do H6213 (QalImpf) to him that which shall seem good H2896 H5869 unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require H977 (QalImpf) of me, [that] will I do H6213 (QalImpf) for thee.
[39] And all the people H5971 went over H5674 (QalImpf) Jordan. H3383 And when the king H4428 was come over, H5674 (QalPerf) the king H4428 kissed H5401 (QalImpf) Barzillai, H1271 and blessed H1288 (PielImpf) him; and he returned H7725 (QalImpf) unto his own place. H4725
[40] Then the king H4428 went on H5674 (QalImpf) to Gilgal, H1537 and Chimham H3643 went on H5674 (QalPerf) with him: and all the people H5971 of Judah H3063 conducted H5674 (HiphPerf) (Qere) H5674 (HiphImpf) the king, H4428 and also half H2677 the people H5971 of Israel. H3478
[41] And, behold, all the men H376 of Israel H3478 came H935 (QalActPtc) to the king, H4428 and said H559 (QalImpf) unto the king, H4428 Why have our brethren H251 the men H376 of Judah H3063 stolen thee away, H1589 (QalPerf) and have brought H5674 (HiphImpf) the king, H4428 and his household, H1004 and all David’s H1732 men H582 with him, over Jordan? H3383
[42] And all the men H376 of Judah H3063 answered H6030 (QalImpf) the men H376 of Israel, H3478 Because the king H4428 [is] near of kin H7138 to us: wherefore then be ye angry H2734 (QalPerf) for this matter? H1697 have we eaten H398 (QalPerf) at all H398 (QalInf) of the king’s H4428 [cost]? or hath he given H5375 (PielPerf) us any gift? H5379
[43] And the men H376 of Israel H3478 answered H6030 (QalImpf) the men H376 of Judah, H3063 and said, H559 (QalImpf) We have ten H6235 parts H3027 in the king, H4428 and we H589 have also more [right] in David H1732 than ye: why then did ye despise H7043 (HiphPerf) us, that our advice H1697 should not be first H7223 had in bringing back H7725 (HiphInf) our king? H4428 And the words H1697 of the men H376 of Judah H3063 were fiercer H7185 (QalImpf) than the words H1697 of the men H376 of Israel. H3478

[5] [19:6] και εισηλθεν ιωαβ προς τον βασιλεα εις τον οικον και ειπεν κατησχυνας σημερον το προσωπον παντων των δουλων σου των εξαιρουμενων σε σημερον και την ψυχην των υιων σου και των θυγατερων σου και την ψυχην των γυναικων σου και των παλλακων σου
[6] [19:7] του αγαπαν τους μισουντας σε και μισειν τους αγαπωντας σε και ανηγγειλας σημερον οτι ουκ εισιν οι αρχοντες σου ουδε παιδες οτι εγνωκα σημερον οτι ει αβεσσαλωμ εζη παντες ημεις σημερον νεκροι οτι τοτε το ευθες ην εν οφθαλμοις σου
[7] [19:8] και νυν αναστας εξελθε και λαλησον εις την καρδιαν των δουλων σου οτι εν κυριω ωμοσα οτι ει μη εκπορευση σημερον ει αυλισθησεται ανηρ μετα σου την νυκτα ταυτην και επιγνωθι σεαυτω και κακον σοι τουτο υπερ παν το κακον το επελθον σοι εκ νεοτητος σου εως του νυν
[8] [19:9] και ανεστη ο βασιλευς και εκαθισεν εν τη πυλη και πας ο λαος ανηγγειλαν λεγοντες ιδου ο βασιλευς καθηται εν τη πυλη και εισηλθεν πας ο λαος κατα προσωπον του βασιλεως και ισραηλ εφυγεν ανηρ εις τα σκηνωματα αυτου
[9] [19:10] και ην πας ο λαος κρινομενος εν πασαις φυλαις ισραηλ λεγοντες ο βασιλευς δαυιδ ερρυσατο ημας απο παντων των εχθρων ημων και αυτος εξειλατο ημας εκ χειρος αλλοφυλων και νυν πεφευγεν απο της γης και απο της βασιλειας αυτου απο αβεσσαλωμ
[10] [19:11] και αβεσσαλωμ ον εχρισαμεν εφ ημων απεθανεν εν τω πολεμω και νυν ινα τι υμεις κωφευετε του επιστρεψαι τον βασιλεα και το ρημα παντος ισραηλ ηλθεν προς τον βασιλεα
[11] [19:12] και ο βασιλευς δαυιδ απεστειλεν προς σαδωκ και προς αβιαθαρ τους ιερεις λεγων λαλησατε προς τους πρεσβυτερους ιουδα λεγοντες ινα τι γινεσθε εσχατοι του επιστρεψαι τον βασιλεα εις τον οικον αυτου και λογος παντος ισραηλ ηλθεν προς τον βασιλεα
[12] [19:13] αδελφοι μου υμεις οστα μου και σαρκες μου υμεις και ινα τι γινεσθε εσχατοι του επιστρεψαι τον βασιλεα εις τον οικον αυτου
[13] [19:14] και τω αμεσσαι ερειτε ουχι οστουν μου και σαρξ μου συ και νυν ταδε ποιησαι μοι ο θεος και ταδε προσθειη ει μη αρχων δυναμεως εση ενωπιον εμου πασας τας ημερας αντι ιωαβ
[14] [19:15] και εκλινεν την καρδιαν παντος ανδρος ιουδα ως ανδρος ενος και απεστειλαν προς τον βασιλεα λεγοντες επιστραφητι συ και παντες οι δουλοι σου
[15] [19:16] και επεστρεψεν ο βασιλευς και ηλθεν εως του ιορδανου και ανδρες ιουδα ηλθαν εις γαλγαλα του πορευεσθαι εις απαντην του βασιλεως διαβιβασαι τον βασιλεα τον ιορδανην
[16] [19:17] και εταχυνεν σεμει υιος γηρα υιου του ιεμενι εκ βαουριμ και κατεβη μετα ανδρος ιουδα εις απαντην του βασιλεως δαυιδ
[17] [19:18] και χιλιοι ανδρες μετ αυτου εκ του βενιαμιν και σιβα το παιδαριον του οικου σαουλ και δεκα πεντε υιοι αυτου μετ αυτου και εικοσι δουλοι αυτου μετ αυτου και κατευθυναν τον ιορδανην εμπροσθεν του βασιλεως
[18] [19:19] και ελειτουργησαν την λειτουργιαν του διαβιβασαι τον βασιλεα και διεβη η διαβασις εξεγειραι τον οικον του βασιλεως και του ποιησαι το ευθες εν οφθαλμοις αυτου και σεμει υιος γηρα επεσεν επι προσωπον αυτου ενωπιον του βασιλεως διαβαινοντος αυτου τον ιορδανην
[19] [19:20] και ειπεν προς τον βασιλεα μη διαλογισασθω ο κυριος μου ανομιαν και μη μνησθης οσα ηδικησεν ο παις σου εν τη ημερα η ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς εξεπορευετο εξ ιερουσαλημ του θεσθαι τον βασιλεα εις την καρδιαν αυτου
[20] [19:21] οτι εγνω ο δουλος σου οτι εγω ημαρτον και ιδου εγω ηλθον σημερον προτερος παντος οικου ιωσηφ του καταβηναι εις απαντην του κυριου μου του βασιλεως
[21] [19:22] και απεκριθη αβεσσα υιος σαρουιας και ειπεν μη αντι τουτου ου θανατωθησεται σεμει οτι κατηρασατο τον χριστον κυριου
[22] [19:23] και ειπεν δαυιδ τι εμοι και υμιν υιοι σαρουιας οτι γινεσθε μοι σημερον εις επιβουλον σημερον ου θανατωθησεται τις ανηρ εξ ισραηλ οτι ουκ οιδα ει σημερον βασιλευω εγω επι τον ισραηλ
[23] [19:24] και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς σεμει ου μη αποθανης και ωμοσεν αυτω ο βασιλευς
[24] [19:25] και μεμφιβοσθε υιος ιωναθαν υιου σαουλ κατεβη εις απαντην του βασιλεως και ουκ εθεραπευσεν τους ποδας αυτου ουδε ωνυχισατο ουδε εποιησεν τον μυστακα αυτου και τα ιματια αυτου ουκ επλυνεν απο της ημερας ης απηλθεν ο βασιλευς εως της ημερας ης αυτος παρεγενετο εν ειρηνη
[25] [19:26] και εγενετο οτε εισηλθεν εις ιερουσαλημ εις απαντησιν του βασιλεως και ειπεν αυτω ο βασιλευς τι οτι ουκ επορευθης μετ εμου μεμφιβοσθε
[26] [19:27] και ειπεν προς αυτον μεμφιβοσθε κυριε μου βασιλευ ο δουλος μου παρελογισατο με οτι ειπεν ο παις σου αυτω επισαξον μοι την ονον και επιβω επ αυτην και πορευσομαι μετα του βασιλεως οτι χωλος ο δουλος σου
[27] [19:28] και μεθωδευσεν εν τω δουλω σου προς τον κυριον μου τον βασιλεα και ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς ως αγγελος του θεου και ποιησον το αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις σου
[28] [19:29] οτι ουκ ην πας ο οικος του πατρος μου αλλ η οτι ανδρες θανατου τω κυριω μου τω βασιλει και εθηκας τον δουλον σου εν τοις εσθιουσιν την τραπεζαν σου και τι εστιν μοι ετι δικαιωμα και του κεκραγεναι με ετι προς τον βασιλεα
[29] [19:30] και ειπεν αυτω ο βασιλευς ινα τι λαλεις ετι τους λογους σου ειπον συ και σιβα διελεισθε τον αγρον
[30] [19:31] και ειπεν μεμφιβοσθε προς τον βασιλεα και γε τα παντα λαβετω μετα το παραγενεσθαι τον κυριον μου τον βασιλεα εν ειρηνη εις τον οικον αυτου
[31] [19:32] και βερζελλι ο γαλααδιτης κατεβη εκ ρωγελλιμ και διεβη μετα του βασιλεως τον ιορδανην εκπεμψαι αυτον τον ιορδανην
[32] [19:33] και βερζελλι ανηρ πρεσβυτερος σφοδρα υιος ογδοηκοντα ετων και αυτος διεθρεψεν τον βασιλεα εν τω οικειν αυτον εν μαναιμ οτι ανηρ μεγας εστιν σφοδρα
[33] [19:34] και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς βερζελλι συ διαβηση μετ εμου και διαθρεψω το γηρας σου μετ εμου εν ιερουσαλημ
[34] [19:35] και ειπεν βερζελλι προς τον βασιλεα ποσαι ημεραι ετων ζωης μου οτι αναβησομαι μετα του βασιλεως εις ιερουσαλημ
[35] [19:36] υιος ογδοηκοντα ετων εγω ειμι σημερον μη γνωσομαι ανα μεσον αγαθου και κακου η γευσεται ο δουλος σου ετι ο φαγομαι η πιομαι η ακουσομαι ετι φωνην αδοντων και αδουσων ινα τι εσται ετι ο δουλος σου εις φορτιον επι τον κυριον μου τον βασιλεα
[36] [19:37] ως βραχυ διαβησεται ο δουλος σου τον ιορδανην μετα του βασιλεως και ινα τι ανταποδιδωσιν μοι ο βασιλευς την ανταποδοσιν ταυτην
[37] [19:38] καθισατω δη ο δουλος σου και αποθανουμαι εν τη πολει μου παρα τω ταφω του πατρος μου και της μητρος μου και ιδου ο δουλος σου χαμααμ διαβησεται μετα του κυριου μου του βασιλεως και ποιησον αυτω το αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις σου
[38] [19:39] και ειπεν ο βασιλευς μετ εμου διαβητω χαμααμ καγω ποιησω αυτω το αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις σου και παντα οσα εκλεξη επ εμοι ποιησω σοι
[39] [19:40] και διεβη πας ο λαος τον ιορδανην και ο βασιλευς διεβη και κατεφιλησεν ο βασιλευς τον βερζελλι και ευλογησεν αυτον και επεστρεψεν εις τον τοπον αυτου
[40] [19:41] και διεβη ο βασιλευς εις γαλγαλα και χαμααμ διεβη μετ αυτου και πας ο λαος ιουδα διαβαινοντες μετα του βασιλεως και γε το ημισυ του λαου ισραηλ
[41] [19:42] και ιδου πας ανηρ ισραηλ παρεγενοντο προς τον βασιλεα και ειπον προς τον βασιλεα τι οτι εκλεψαν σε οι αδελφοι ημων ανηρ ιουδα και διεβιβασαν τον βασιλεα και τον οικον αυτου τον ιορδανην και παντες ανδρες δαυιδ μετ αυτου
[42] [19:43] και απεκριθη πας ανηρ ιουδα προς ανδρα ισραηλ και ειπαν διοτι εγγιζει προς με ο βασιλευς και ινα τι ουτως εθυμωθης περι του λογου τουτου μη βρωσει εφαγαμεν εκ του βασιλεως η δομα εδωκεν η αρσιν ηρεν ημιν
[43] [19:44] και απεκριθη ανηρ ισραηλ τω ανδρι ιουδα και ειπεν δεκα χειρες μοι εν τω βασιλει και πρωτοτοκος εγω η συ και γε εν τω δαυιδ ειμι υπερ σε και ινα τι τουτο υβρισας με και ουκ ελογισθη ο λογος μου πρωτος μοι του επιστρεψαι τον βασιλεα εμοι και εσκληρυνθη ο λογος ανδρος ιουδα υπερ τον λογον ανδρος ισραηλ
