2 Samuel 16

KJV

1  And when David1732 was a little4592 past5674 the top4480 7218 of the hill, behold,2009 Ziba6717 the servant5288 of Mephibosheth4648 met7125 him, with a couple6776 of asses2543 saddled,2280 and upon5921 them two hundred3967 loaves of bread,3899 and a hundred3967 bunches of raisins,6778 and a hundred3967 of summer fruits,7019 and a bottle5035 of wine.3196

2  And the king4428 said559 unto413 Ziba,6717 What4100 meanest thou by these?428 And Ziba6717 said,559 The asses2543 be for the king's4428 household1004 to ride on;7392 and the bread3899 and summer fruit7019 for the young men5288 to eat;398 and the wine,3196 that such as be faint3287 in the wilderness4057 may drink.8354

3  And the king4428 said,559 And where346 is thy master's113 son?1121 And Ziba6717 said559 unto413 the king,4428 Behold,2009 he abideth3427 at Jerusalem:3389 for3588 he said,559 Today3117 shall the house1004 of Israel3478 restore7725 me 853 the kingdom4468 of my father.1

4  Then said559 the king4428 to Ziba,6717 Behold,2009 thine are all3605 that834 pertained unto Mephibosheth.4648 And Ziba6717 said,559 I humbly beseech7812 thee that I may find4672 grace2580 in thy sight,5869 my lord,113 O king.4428

5  And when king4428 David1732 came935 to5704 Bahurim,980 behold,2009 thence4480 8033 came out3318 a man376 of the family4480 4940 of the house1004 of Saul,7586 whose name8034 was Shimei,8096 the son1121 of Gera:1617 he came forth,3318 and cursed7043 still as he came.3318

6  And he cast5619 stones68 at 853 David,1732 and at all3605 the servants5650 of king4428 David:1732 and all3605 the people5971 and all3605 the mighty men1368 were on his right hand4480 3225 and on his left.4480 8040

7  And thus3541 said559 Shimei8096 when he cursed,7043 Come out,3318 come out,3318 thou bloody1818 man,376 and thou man376 of Belial:1100

8  The LORD3068 hath returned7725 upon5921 thee all3605 the blood1818 of the house1004 of Saul,7586 in whose834 stead8478 thou hast reigned;4427 and the LORD3068 hath delivered5414 853 the kingdom4410 into the hand3027 of Absalom53 thy son:1121 and, behold,2009 thou art taken in thy mischief,7451 because3588 thou859 art a bloody1818 man.376

9  Then said559 Abishai52 the son1121 of Zeruiah6870 unto413 the king,4428 Why4100 should this2088 dead4191 dog3611 curse7043 853 my lord113 the king?4428 let me go over,5674 I pray thee,4994 and take off5493 853 his head.7218

10  And the king4428 said,559 What4100 have I to do with you, ye sons1121 of Zeruiah?6870 so3541 let him curse,7043 because3588 the LORD3068 hath said559 unto him, Curse7043 853 David.1732 Who4310 shall then say,559 Wherefore4069 hast thou done6213 so?3651

11  And David1732 said559 to413 Abishai,52 and to413 all3605 his servants,5650 Behold,2009 my son,1121 which834 came forth3318 of my bowels,4480 4578 seeketh1245 853 my life:5315 how much more637 3588 now6258 may this Benjamite1145 do it? let him alone,5117 and let him curse;7043 for3588 the LORD3068 hath bidden559 him.

12  It may be194 that the LORD3068 will look7200 on mine affliction,6040 and that the LORD3068 will requite7725 me good2896 for8478 his cursing7045 this2088 day.3117

13  And as David1732 and his men376 went1980 by the way,1870 Shimei8096 went along1980 on the hill's2022 side6763 over against5980 him, and cursed7043 as he went,1980 and threw5619 stones68 at5980 him, and cast6080 dust.6083

14  And the king,4428 and all3605 the people5971 that834 were with854 him, came935 weary,5889 and refreshed themselves5314 there.8033

15  And Absalom,53 and all3605 the people5971 the men376 of Israel,3478 came935 to Jerusalem,3389 and Ahithophel302 with854 him.

16  And it came to pass,1961 when834 Hushai2365 the Archite,757 David's1732 friend,7463 was come935 unto413 Absalom,53 that Hushai2365 said559 unto413 Absalom,53 God save2421 the king,4428 God save2421 the king.4428

17  And Absalom53 said559 to413 Hushai,2365 Is this2088 thy kindness2617 to 853 thy friend?7453 why4100 wentest1980 thou not3808 with854 thy friend?7453

18  And Hushai2365 said559 unto413 Absalom,53 Nay;3808 but3588 whom834 the LORD,3068 and this2088 people,5971 and all3605 the men376 of Israel,3478 choose,977 his will I be,1961 and with854 him will I abide.3427

19  And again,8145 whom4310 should I589 serve?5647 should I not3808 serve in the presence6440 of his son?1121 as834 I have served5647 in thy father's1 presence,6440 so3651 will I be1961 in thy presence.6440

20  Then said559 Absalom53 to413 Ahithophel,302 Give3051 counsel6098 among you what4100 we shall do.6213

21  And Ahithophel302 said559 unto413 Absalom,53 Go935 in unto413 thy father's1 concubines,6370 which834 he hath left5117 to keep8104 the house;1004 and all3605 Israel3478 shall hear8085 that3588 thou art abhorred887 of854 thy father:1 then shall the hands3027 of all3605 that834 are with854 thee be strong.2388

22  So they spread5186 Absalom53 a tent168 upon5921 the top1406 of the house; and Absalom53 went935 in unto413 his father's1 concubines6370 in the sight5869 of all3605 Israel.3478

23  And the counsel6098 of Ahithophel,302 which834 he counseled3289 in those1992 days,3117 was as834 if a man376 had inquired7592 at the oracle1697 of God:430 so3651 was all3605 the counsel6098 of Ahithophel302 both1571 with David1732 and1571 with Absalom.53

1 καὶ Δαυιδ παρῆλθεν βραχύ τι ἀπὸ τῆς Ροως καὶ ἰδοὺ Σιβα τὸ παιδάριον Μεμφιβοσθε εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ζεῦγος ὄνων ἐπισεσαγμένων καὶ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς διακόσιοι ἄρτοι καὶ ἑκατὸν σταφίδες καὶ ἑκατὸν φοίνικες καὶ Νεβελ οἴνου

2 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σιβα τί ταῦτά σοι καὶ εἶπεν Σιβα τὰ ὑποζύγια τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ ἐπικαθῆσθαι καὶ οἱ ἄρτοι καὶ οἱ φοίνικες εἰς βρῶσιν τοῖς παιδαρίοις καὶ ὁ οἶνος πιεῖν τοῖς ἐκλελυμένοις ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ

3 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς καὶ ποῦ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ κυρίου σου καὶ εἶπεν Σιβα πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἰδοὺ κάθηται ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ὅτι εἶπεν σήμερον ἐπιστρέψουσίν μοι ὁ οἶκος Ισραηλ τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ πατρός μου

4 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Σιβα ιδοὺ σοὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν τῷ Μεμφιβοσθε καὶ εἶπεν Σιβα προσκυνήσας εὕροιμι χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ

5 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυιδ ἕως Βαουριμ καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖθεν ἀνὴρ ἐξεπορεύετο ἐκ συγγενείας οἴκου Σαουλ καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Σεμεϊ υἱὸς Γηρα ἐξῆλθεν ἐκπορευόμενος καὶ καταρώμενος

6 καὶ λιθάζων ἐν λίθοις τὸν Δαυιδ καὶ πάντας τοὺς παῖδας τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυιδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἦν καὶ πάντες οἱ δυνατοὶ ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων τοῦ βασιλέως

7 καὶ οὕτως ἔλεγεν Σεμεϊ ἐν τῷ καταρᾶσθαι αὐτόν ἔξελθε ἔξελθε ἀνὴρ αἱμάτων καὶ ἀνὴρ ὁ παράνομος

8 ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπὶ σὲ κύριος πάντα τὰ αἵματα τοῦ οἴκου Σαουλ ὅτι ἐβασίλευσας ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν κύριος τὴν βασιλείαν ἐν χειρὶ Αβεσσαλωμ τοῦ υἱοῦ σου καὶ ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν τῇ κακίᾳ σου ὅτι ἀνὴρ αἱμάτων σύ

9 καὶ εἶπεν Αβεσσα υἱὸς Σαρουιας πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἵνα τί καταρᾶται ὁ κύων ὁ τεθνηκὼς οὗτος τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα διαβήσομαι δὴ καὶ ἀφελῶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ

10 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς τί ἐμοὶ καὶ ὑμῖν υἱοὶ Σαρουιας ἄφετε αὐτὸν καὶ οὕτως καταράσθω ὅτι κύριος εἶπεν αὐτῷ καταρᾶσθαι τὸν Δαυιδ καὶ τίς ἐρεῖ ὡς τί ἐποίησας οὕτως

11 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Αβεσσα καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἐξελθὼν ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας μου ζητεῖ τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ προσέτι νῦν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Ιεμινι ἄφετε αὐτὸν καταρᾶσθαι ὅτι εἶπεν αὐτῷ κύριος

12 εἴ πως ἴδοι κύριος ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει μου καὶ ἐπιστρέψει μοι ἀγαθὰ ἀντὶ τῆς κατάρας αὐτοῦ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ

13 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυιδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ Σεμεϊ ἐπορεύετο ἐκ πλευρᾶς τοῦ ὄρους ἐχόμενα αὐτοῦ πορευόμενος καὶ καταρώμενος καὶ λιθάζων ἐν λίθοις ἐκ πλαγίων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ χοῒ πάσσων

14 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐκλελυμένοι καὶ ἀνέψυξαν ἐκεῖ

15 καὶ Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ Αχιτοφελ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ

16 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡνίκα ἦλθεν Χουσι ὁ Αρχι ἑταῖρος Δαυιδ πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ καὶ εἶπεν Χουσι πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ ζήτω ὁ βασιλεύς

17 καὶ εἶπεν Αβεσσαλωμ πρὸς Χουσι τοῦτο τὸ ἔλεός σου μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου ἵνα τί οὐκ ἀπῆλθες μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου

18 καὶ εἶπεν Χουσι πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ οὐχί ἀλλὰ κατόπισθεν οὗ ἐξελέξατο κύριος καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὗτος καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ αὐτῷ ἔσομαι καὶ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καθήσομαι

19 καὶ τὸ δεύτερον τίνι ἐγὼ δουλεύσω οὐχὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καθάπερ ἐδούλευσα ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός σου οὕτως ἔσομαι ἐνώπιόν σου

20 καὶ εἶπεν Αβεσσαλωμ πρὸς Αχιτοφελ φέρετε ἑαυτοῖς βουλὴν τί ποιήσωμεν

21 καὶ εἶπεν Αχιτοφελ πρὸς Αβεσσαλωμ εἴσελθε πρὸς τὰς παλλακὰς τοῦ πατρός σου ἃς κατέλιπεν φυλάσσειν τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀκούσεται πᾶς Ισραηλ ὅτι κατῄσχυνας τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ ἐνισχύσουσιν αἱ χεῖρες πάντων τῶν μετὰ σοῦ

22 καὶ ἔπηξαν τὴν σκηνὴν τῷ Αβεσσαλωμ ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Αβεσσαλωμ πρὸς τὰς παλλακὰς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ κατ᾽ ὀφθαλμοὺς παντὸς Ισραηλ

23 καὶ ἡ βουλὴ Αχιτοφελ ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταῖς πρώταις ὃν τρόπον ἐπερωτήσῃ ἐν λόγῳ τοῦ θεοῦ οὕτως πᾶσα ἡ βουλὴ τοῦ Αχιτοφελ καί γε τῷ Δαυιδ καί γε τῷ Αβεσσαλωμ

1 Cumque David transisset paululum montis verticem, apparuit Siba puer Miphiboseth in occursum ejus, cum duobus asinis, qui onerati erant ducentis panibus, et centum alligaturis uvæ passæ, et centum massis palatharum, et utre vini.

2 Et dixit rex Sibæ: Quid sibi volunt hæc? Responditque Siba: Asini, domesticis regis ut sedeant: panes et palathæ ad vescendum pueris tuis: vinum autem ut bibat siquis defecerit in deserto.

3 Et ait rex: Ubi est filius domini tui? Responditque Siba regi: Remansit in Jerusalem, dicens: Hodie restituet mihi domus Israël regnum patris mei.

4 Et ait rex Sibæ: Tua sint omnia quæ fuerunt Miphiboseth. Dixitque Siba: Oro ut inveniam gratiam coram te, domine mi rex.

5 Venit ergo rex David usque Bahurim: et ecce egrediebatur inde vir de cognatione domus Saul, nomine Semei, filius Gera: procedebatque egrediens, et maledicebat,

6 mittebatque lapides contra David et contra universos servos regis David: omnis autem populus, et universi bellatores, a dextro et a sinistro latere regis incedebant.

7 Ita autem loquebatur Semei cum malediceret regi: Egredere, egredere, vir sanguinum, et vir Belial.

8 Reddidit tibi Dominus universum sanguinem domus Saul: quoniam invasisti regnum pro eo, et dedit Dominus regnum in manu Absalom filii tui: et ecce premunt te mala tua, quoniam vir sanguinum es.

9 Dixit autem Abisai filius Sarviæ regi: Quare maledicit canis hic mortuus domino meo regi? vadam, et amputabo caput ejus.

10 Et ait rex: Quid mihi et vobis est, filii Sarviæ? dimittite eum, ut maledicat: Dominus enim præcepit ei ut malediceret David: et quis est qui audeat dicere quare sic fecerit?

11 Et ait rex Abisai, et universis servis suis: Ecce filius meus qui egressus est de utero meo, quærit animam meam: quanto magis nunc filius Jemini? Dimittite eum ut maledicat juxta præceptum Domini:

12 si forte respiciat Dominus afflictionem meam, et reddat mihi Dominus bonum pro maledictione hac hodierna.

13 Ambulabat itaque David et socii ejus per viam cum eo. Semei autem per jugum montis ex latere contra illum gradiebatur, maledicens, et mittens lapides adversum eum, terramque spargens.

14 Venit itaque rex, et universus populus cum eo lassus, et refocillati sunt ibi.

15 Absalom autem et omnis populus ejus ingressi sunt Jerusalem, sed et Achitophel cum eo.

16 Cum autem venisset Chusai Arachites amicus David ad Absalom, locutus est ad eum: Salve rex, salve rex.

17 Ad quem Absalom: Hæc est, inquit, gratia tua ad amicum tuum? quare non ivisti cum amico tuo?

18 Responditque Chusai ad Absalom: Nequaquam: quia illius ero, quem elegit Dominus, et omnis hic populus, et universus Israël: et cum eo manebo.

19 Sed ut et hoc inferam, cui ego serviturus sum? nonne filio regis? Sicut parui patri tuo, ita parebo et tibi.

20 Dixit autem Absalom ad Achitophel: Inite consilium quid agere debeamus.

21 Et ait Achitophel ad Absalom: Ingredere ad concubinas patris tui, quas dimisit ad custodiendam domum: ut cum audierit omnis Israël quod fœdaveris patrem tuum, roborentur tecum manus eorum.

22 Tetenderunt ergo Absalom tabernaculum in solario, ingressusque est ad concubinas patris sui coram universo Israël.

23 Consilium autem Achitophel quod dabat in diebus illis, quasi si quis consuleret Deum: sic erat omne consilium Achitophel, et cum esset cum David, et cum esset cum Absalom.
