[2 Samuel 1]
1:1^C Now it came to pass after³¹⁰ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ when David¹⁷³² was returned⁷⁷²⁵ from the slaughter⁵²²¹ of the Amalekites,⁶⁰⁰² and David¹⁷³² had abode³⁴²⁷ two⁸¹⁴⁷ days³¹¹⁷ in Ziklag;⁶⁸⁶⁰
1:2^C It came even to pass on the third⁷⁹⁹² day,³¹¹⁷ that, behold, a man³⁷⁶ came⁹³⁵ out of the camp⁴²⁶⁴ from Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ with his clothes⁸⁹⁹ rent,⁷¹⁶⁷ and earth¹²⁷ upon his head:⁷²¹⁸ and so it was, when he came⁹³⁵ to David,¹⁷³² that he fell⁵³⁰⁷ to the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and did obeisance.⁷⁸¹²
1:3 And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, From whence comest⁹³⁵ thou? And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Out of the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ am I escaped.⁴⁴²²
1:4 And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, How⁴¹⁰⁰ went the matter?¹⁶⁹⁷ I pray thee, tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ me. And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ That the people⁵⁹⁷¹ are fled⁵¹²⁷ from the battle,⁴⁴²¹ and many⁷²³⁵ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ also are fallen⁵³⁰⁷ and dead;⁴¹⁹¹ and Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ and Jonathan³⁰⁸³ his son¹¹²¹ are dead⁴¹⁹¹ also.
1:5 And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto the young man⁵²⁸⁸ that told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him, How knowest³⁰⁴⁵ thou that Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ and Jonathan³⁰⁸³ his son¹¹²¹ be dead?⁴¹⁹¹
1:6 And the young man⁵²⁸⁸ that told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him said,⁵⁵⁹ As I happened⁷¹³⁶ by chance⁷¹²² upon mount²⁰²² Gilboa,¹⁵³³ behold, Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ leaned⁸¹⁷² upon his spear;²⁵⁹⁵ and, lo, the chariots⁷³⁹³ and horsemen^11676571 followed hard¹⁶⁹² after him.
1:7 And when he looked⁶⁴³⁷ behind³¹⁰ him, he saw⁷²⁰⁰ me, and called⁷¹²¹ unto me. And I answered,⁵⁵⁹ Here am I.
1:8 And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto me, Who art thou? And I answered⁵⁵⁹ him, I am an Amalekite.⁶⁰⁰³
1:9^C He said⁵⁵⁹ unto me again, Stand,⁵⁹⁷⁵ I pray thee, upon me, and slay⁴¹⁹¹ me: for anguish⁷⁶⁶¹ is come²⁷⁰ upon me, because my life⁵³¹⁵ is yet whole in me.
1:10 So I stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ upon him, and slew⁴¹⁹¹ him, because I was sure³⁰⁴⁵ that he could not live²⁴²¹ after³¹⁰ that he was fallen:⁵³⁰⁷ and I took³⁹⁴⁷ the crown⁵¹⁴⁵ that was upon his head,⁷²¹⁸ and the bracelet⁶⁸⁵ that was on his arm,²²²⁰ and have brought⁹³⁵ them hither unto my lord.¹¹³
1:11 Then David¹⁷³² took hold²³⁸⁸ on his clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and rent⁷¹⁶⁷ them; and likewise all the men⁵⁸² that were with him:
1:12 And they mourned,⁵⁵⁹⁴ and wept,¹⁰⁵⁸ and fasted⁶⁶⁸⁴ until even,⁶¹⁵³ for Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and for Jonathan³⁰⁸³ his son,¹¹²¹ and for the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ because they were fallen⁵³⁰⁷ by the sword.²⁷¹⁹
1:13 And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto the young man⁵²⁸⁸ that told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him, Whence art thou? And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ I am the son¹¹²¹ of a stranger,^3761616 an Amalekite.⁶⁰⁰³
1:14 And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, How wast thou not afraid³³⁷² to stretch forth⁷⁹⁷¹ thine hand³⁰²⁷ to destroy⁷⁸⁴³ the LORD'S³⁰⁶⁸ anointed?⁴⁸⁹⁹
1:15^C And David¹⁷³² called⁷¹²¹ one²⁵⁹ of the young men,⁵²⁸⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Go near,⁵⁰⁶⁶ and fall⁶²⁹³ upon him. And he smote⁵²²¹ him that he died.⁴¹⁹¹
1:16 And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Thy blood¹⁸¹⁸ be upon thy head;⁷²¹⁸ for thy mouth⁶³¹⁰ hath testified⁶⁰³⁰ against thee, saying,⁵⁵⁹ I have slain⁴¹⁹¹ the LORD'S³⁰⁶⁸ anointed.⁴⁸⁹⁹
1:17^C And David¹⁷³² lamented⁶⁹⁶⁹ with this lamentation⁷⁰¹⁵ over Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ and over Jonathan³⁰⁸³ his son:¹¹²¹
1:18^C (Also he bade⁵⁵⁹ them teach³⁹²⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ the use of the bow:⁷¹⁹⁸ behold, it is written³⁷⁸⁹ in the book⁵⁶¹² of Jasher.)³⁴⁷⁷
1:19 The beauty⁶⁶⁴³ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ is slain²⁴⁹¹ upon thy high places:¹¹¹⁶ how are the mighty¹³⁶⁸ fallen!⁵³⁰⁷
1:20 Tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ it not in Gath,¹⁶⁶¹ publish¹³¹⁹ it not in the streets²³⁵¹ of Askelon;⁸³¹ lest the daughters¹³²³ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ rejoice,⁸⁰⁵⁵ lest the daughters¹³²³ of the uncircumcised⁶¹⁸⁹ triumph.⁵⁹³⁷
1:21 Ye mountains²⁰²² of Gilboa,¹⁵³³ let there be no dew,²⁹¹⁹ neither let there be rain,⁴³⁰⁶ upon you, nor fields⁷⁷⁰⁴ of offerings:⁸⁶⁴¹ for there the shield⁴⁰⁴³ of the mighty¹³⁶⁸ is vilely cast away,¹⁶⁰² the shield⁴⁰⁴³ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ as though he had not been anointed⁴⁸⁹⁹ with oil.⁸⁰⁸¹
1:22 From the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of the slain,²⁴⁹¹ from the fat²⁴⁵⁹ of the mighty,¹³⁶⁸ the bow⁷¹⁹⁸ of Jonathan³⁰⁸³ turned⁷⁷³⁴ not back,²⁶⁸ and the sword²⁷¹⁹ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ returned⁷⁷²⁵ not empty.⁷³⁸⁷
1:23^C Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ and Jonathan³⁰⁸³ were lovely¹⁵⁷ and pleasant⁵²⁷³ in their lives,²⁴¹⁶ and in their death⁴¹⁹⁴ they were not divided:⁶⁵⁰⁴ they were swifter⁷⁰⁴³ than eagles,⁵⁴⁰⁴ they were stronger¹³⁹⁶ than lions.⁷³⁸
1:24 Ye daughters¹³²³ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ weep over¹⁰⁵⁸ Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ who clothed³⁸⁴⁷ you in scarlet,⁸¹⁴⁴ with other delights,⁵⁷³⁰ who put⁵⁹²⁷ on ornaments⁵⁷¹⁶ of gold²⁰⁹¹ upon your apparel.³⁸³⁰
1:25 How are the mighty¹³⁶⁸ fallen⁵³⁰⁷ in the midst⁸⁴³² of the battle!⁴⁴²¹ O Jonathan,³⁰⁸³ thou wast slain²⁴⁹¹ in thine high places.¹¹¹⁶
1:26^C I am distressed⁶⁸⁸⁷ for thee, my brother²⁵¹ Jonathan:³⁰⁸³ very³⁹⁶⁶ pleasant⁵²⁷⁶ hast thou been unto me: thy love¹⁶⁰ to me was wonderful,⁶³⁸¹ passing the love¹⁶⁰ of women.⁸⁰²
1:27 How are the mighty¹³⁶⁸ fallen,⁵³⁰⁷ and the weapons³⁶²⁷ of war⁴⁴²¹ perished!⁶

[2 Samuel 2]
2:1^C And it came to pass after this,³¹⁰ that David¹⁷³² enquired⁷⁵⁹² of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Shall I go up⁵⁹²⁷ into any²⁵⁹ of the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah?³⁰⁶³ And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Go up.⁵⁹²⁷ And David¹⁷³² said,⁵⁵⁹ Whither shall I go up?⁵⁹²⁷ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Unto Hebron.²²⁷⁵
2:2 So David¹⁷³² went up⁵⁹²⁷ thither, and his two⁸¹⁴⁷ wives⁸⁰² also, Ahinoam²⁹³ the Jezreelitess,³¹⁵⁹ and Abigail²⁶ Nabal's⁵⁰³⁷ wife⁸⁰² the Carmelite.³⁷⁶¹
2:3 And his men⁵⁸² that were with him did David¹⁷³² bring up,⁵⁹²⁷ every man³⁷⁶ with his household:¹⁰⁰⁴ and they dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Hebron.²²⁷⁵
2:4^C And the men⁵⁸² of Judah³⁰⁶³ came,⁹³⁵ and there they anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ over the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah.³⁰⁶³ And they told⁵⁰⁴⁶ David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹ That the men⁵⁸² of Jabeshgilead^30031568 were they that buried⁶⁹¹² Saul.⁷⁵⁸⁶
2:5^C And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ unto the men⁵⁸² of Jabeshgilead,^30031568 and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be ye of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that ye have shewed⁶²¹³ this kindness²⁶¹⁷ unto your lord,¹¹³ even unto Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and have buried⁶⁹¹² him.
2:6 And now the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shew⁶²¹³ kindness²⁶¹⁷ and truth⁵⁷¹ unto you: and I also will requite⁶²¹³ you this kindness,²⁸⁹⁶ because ye have done⁶²¹³ this thing.¹⁶⁹⁷
2:7^C Therefore now let your hands³⁰²⁷ be strengthened,²³⁸⁸ and be ye valiant:^11212428 for your master¹¹³ Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ is dead,⁴¹⁹¹ and also the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ have anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ me king⁴⁴²⁸ over them.
2:8 But Abner⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Ner,⁵³⁶⁹ captain⁸²⁶⁹ of Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ host,⁶⁶³⁵ took³⁹⁴⁷ Ishbosheth³⁷⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and brought him over⁵⁶⁷⁴ to Mahanaim;⁴²⁶⁶
2:9^C And made him king⁴⁴²⁷ over Gilead,¹⁵⁶⁸ and over the Ashurites,⁸⁰⁵ and over Jezreel,³¹⁵⁷ and over Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and over Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ and over all Israel.³⁴⁷⁸
2:10 Ishbosheth³⁷⁸ Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ son¹¹²¹ was forty⁷⁰⁵ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign⁴⁴²⁷ over Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and reigned⁴⁴²⁷ two⁸¹⁴⁷ years.⁸¹⁴¹ But the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ followed³¹⁰ David.¹⁷³²
2:11^C And the time^45573117 that David¹⁷³² was king⁴⁴²⁸ in Hebron²²⁷⁵ over the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ was seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ and six⁸³³⁷ months.²³²⁰
2:12 And Abner⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Ner,⁵³⁶⁹ and the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Ishbosheth³⁷⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ went out³³¹⁸ from Mahanaim⁴²⁶⁶ to Gibeon.¹³⁹¹
2:13 And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Zeruiah,⁶⁸⁷⁰ and the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of David,¹⁷³² went out,³³¹⁸ and met⁶²⁹⁸ together³¹⁶² by the pool¹²⁹⁵ of Gibeon:¹³⁹¹ and they sat down,³⁴²⁷ the one on the one side of the pool,¹²⁹⁵ and the other on the other side of the pool.¹²⁹⁵
2:14 And Abner⁷⁴ said⁵⁵⁹ to Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ Let the young men⁵²⁸⁸ now arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and play⁷⁸³² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ us. And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ Let them arise.⁶⁹⁶⁵
2:15 Then there arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went over⁵⁶⁷⁴ by number⁴⁵⁵⁷ twelve^81476240 of Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ which pertained to Ishbosheth³⁷⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and twelve^81476240 of the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of David.¹⁷³²
2:16 And they caught²³⁸⁸ every one³⁷⁶ his fellow⁷⁴⁵³ by the head,⁷²¹⁸ and thrust his sword²⁷¹⁹ in his fellow's⁷⁴⁵³ side;⁶⁶⁵⁴ so they fell down⁵³⁰⁷ together:³¹⁶² wherefore that place⁴⁷²⁵ was called⁷¹²¹ Helkathhazzurim,²⁵²¹ which is in Gibeon.¹³⁹¹
2:17 And there was a very³⁹⁶⁶ sore⁷¹⁸⁶ battle⁴⁴²¹ that day;³¹¹⁷ and Abner⁷⁴ was beaten,⁵⁰⁶² and the men⁵⁸² of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of David.¹⁷³²
2:18 And there were three⁷⁹⁶⁹ sons¹¹²¹ of Zeruiah⁶⁸⁷⁰ there, Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ and Abishai,⁵² and Asahel:⁶²¹⁴ and Asahel⁶²¹⁴ was as light⁷⁰³¹ of foot⁷²⁷² as a²⁵⁹ wild⁷⁷⁰⁴ roe.⁶⁶⁴³
2:19 And Asahel⁶²¹⁴ pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ Abner;⁷⁴ and in going³²¹² he turned⁵¹⁸⁶ not to the right hand³²²⁵ nor to the left⁸⁰⁴⁰ from following³¹⁰ Abner.⁷⁴
2:20 Then Abner⁷⁴ looked⁶⁴³⁷ behind³¹⁰ him, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Art thou Asahel?⁶²¹⁴ And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ I am.
2:21 And Abner⁷⁴ said⁵⁵⁹ to him, Turn thee aside⁵¹⁸⁶ to thy right hand³²²⁵ or to thy left,⁸⁰⁴⁰ and lay thee hold²⁷⁰ on one²⁵⁹ of the young men,⁵²⁸⁸ and take³⁹⁴⁷ thee his armour.²⁴⁸⁸ But Asahel⁶²¹⁴ would¹⁴ not turn aside⁵⁴⁹³ from following³¹⁰ of him.
2:22 And Abner⁷⁴ said⁵⁵⁹ again³²⁵⁴ to Asahel,⁶²¹⁴ Turn thee aside⁵⁴⁹³ from following³¹⁰ me: wherefore should I smite⁵²²¹ thee to the ground?⁷⁷⁶ how then should I hold up⁵³⁷⁵ my face⁶⁴⁴⁰ to Joab³⁰⁹⁷ thy brother?²⁵¹
2:23 Howbeit he refused³⁹⁸⁵ to turn aside:⁵⁴⁹³ wherefore Abner⁷⁴ with the hinder end³¹⁰ of the spear²⁵⁹⁵ smote⁵²²¹ him under⁴¹³ the fifth²⁵⁷⁰ rib, that the spear²⁵⁹⁵ came out³³¹⁸ behind³¹⁰ him; and he fell down⁵³⁰⁷ there, and died⁴¹⁹¹ in the same place:⁸⁴⁷⁸ and it came to pass, that as many as came⁹³⁵ to the place⁴⁷²⁵ where Asahel⁶²¹⁴ fell down⁵³⁰⁷ and died⁴¹⁹¹ stood still.⁵⁹⁷⁵
2:24 Joab³⁰⁹⁷ also and Abishai⁵² pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ Abner:⁷⁴ and the sun⁸¹²¹ went down⁹³⁵ when they were come⁹³⁵ to the hill¹³⁸⁹ of Ammah,⁵²² that lieth before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Giah¹⁵²⁰ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Gibeon.¹³⁹¹
2:25 And the children¹¹²¹ of Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ gathered themselves together⁶⁹⁰⁸ after³¹⁰ Abner,⁷⁴ and became one²⁵⁹ troop,⁹² and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ on the top⁷²¹⁸ of an hill.¹³⁸⁹
2:26 Then Abner⁷⁴ called⁷¹²¹ to Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Shall the sword²⁷¹⁹ devour³⁹⁸ for ever?⁵³³¹ knowest³⁰⁴⁵ thou not that it will be bitterness⁴⁷⁵¹ in the latter end?³¹⁴ how long shall it be then, ere thou bid⁵⁵⁹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ return⁷⁷²⁵ from following³¹⁰ their brethren?²⁵¹
2:27 And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ As God⁴³⁰ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ unless³⁸⁸⁴ thou hadst spoken,¹⁶⁹⁶ surely then in the morning¹²⁴² the people⁵⁹⁷¹ had gone up⁵⁹²⁷ every one³⁷⁶ from following³¹⁰ his brother.²⁵¹
2:28 So Joab³⁰⁹⁷ blew⁸⁶²⁸ a trumpet,⁷⁷⁸² and all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ stood still,⁵⁹⁷⁵ and pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ no more, neither fought³⁸⁹⁸ they any more.³²⁵⁴
2:29 And Abner⁷⁴ and his men⁵⁸² walked¹⁹⁸⁰ all that night³⁹¹⁵ through the plain,⁶¹⁶⁰ and passed over⁵⁶⁷⁴ Jordan,³³⁸³ and went through³²¹² all Bithron,¹³³⁸ and they came⁹³⁵ to Mahanaim.⁴²⁶⁶
2:30 And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ returned⁷⁷²⁵ from following³¹⁰ Abner:⁷⁴ and when he had gathered⁶⁹⁰⁸ ➔ all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ together,⁶⁹⁰⁸ there lacked⁶⁴⁸⁵ of David's¹⁷³² servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ nineteen^86726240 men³⁷⁶ and Asahel.⁶²¹⁴
2:31 But the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of David¹⁷³² had smitten⁵²²¹ of Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ and of Abner's⁷⁴ men,⁵⁸² so that three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ men³⁷⁶ died.⁴¹⁹¹
2:32 And they took up⁵³⁷⁵ Asahel,⁶²¹⁴ and buried⁶⁹¹² him in the sepulchre⁶⁹¹³ of his father,¹ which was in Bethlehem.¹⁰³⁵ And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ and his men⁵⁸² went³²¹² all night,³⁹¹⁵ and they came to Hebron²²⁷⁵ at break of day.²¹⁵

[2 Samuel 3]
3:1^C Now there was long⁷⁵² war⁴⁴²¹ between the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David:¹⁷³² but David¹⁷³² waxed¹⁹⁸⁰ stronger²³⁹⁰ and stronger,²³⁹⁰ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ waxed¹⁹⁸⁰ weaker¹⁸⁰⁰ and weaker.¹⁸⁰⁰
3:2 And unto David¹⁷³² were sons¹¹²¹ born^32053205 in Hebron:²²⁷⁵ and his firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ was Amnon,⁵⁵⁰ of Ahinoam²⁹³ the Jezreelitess;³¹⁵⁹
3:3^C And his second,⁴⁹³² Chileab,³⁶⁰⁹ of Abigail²⁶ the wife⁸⁰² of Nabal⁵⁰³⁷ the Carmelite;³⁷⁶¹ and the third,⁷⁹⁹² Absalom⁵³ the son¹¹²¹ of Maacah⁴⁶⁰¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Talmai⁸⁵²⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Geshur;¹⁶⁵⁰
3:4 And the fourth,⁷²⁴³ Adonijah¹³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Haggith;²²⁹⁴ and the fifth,²⁵⁴⁹ Shephatiah⁸²⁰³ the son¹¹²¹ of Abital;³⁷
3:5 And the sixth,⁸³⁴⁵ Ithream,³⁵⁰⁷ by Eglah⁵⁶⁹⁸ David's¹⁷³² wife.⁸⁰² These were born³²⁰⁵ to David¹⁷³² in Hebron.²²⁷⁵
3:6 And it came to pass, while there was war⁴⁴²¹ between the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David,¹⁷³² that Abner⁷⁴ made himself strong²³⁸⁸ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Saul.⁷⁵⁸⁶
3:7 And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ had a concubine,⁶³⁷⁰ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Rizpah,⁷⁵³² the daughter¹³²³ of Aiah:³⁴⁵ and Ishbosheth said⁵⁵⁹ to Abner,⁷⁴ Wherefore hast thou gone in⁹³⁵ unto my father's¹ concubine?⁶³⁷⁰
3:8 Then was Abner⁷⁴ very³⁹⁶⁶ wroth²⁷³⁴ for the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Ishbosheth,³⁷⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Am I a dog's³⁶¹¹ head,⁷²¹⁸ which against Judah³⁰⁶³ do shew⁶²¹³ kindness²⁶¹⁷ this day³¹¹⁷ unto the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ thy father,¹ to his brethren,²⁵¹ and to his friends,⁴⁸²⁸ and have not delivered⁴⁶⁷² thee into the hand³⁰²⁷ of David,¹⁷³² that thou chargest⁶⁴⁸⁵ me to day³¹¹⁷ with a fault⁵⁷⁷¹ concerning this woman?⁸⁰²
3:9 So do⁶²¹³ God⁴³⁰ to Abner,⁷⁴ and more also,³²⁵⁴ except, as the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ to David,¹⁷³² even so I do⁶²¹³ to him;
3:10 To translate⁵⁶⁷⁴ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ from the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and to set up⁶⁹⁶⁵ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of David¹⁷³² over Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and over Judah,³⁰⁶³ from Dan¹⁸³⁵ even to Beersheba.⁸⁸⁴
3:11 And he could³²⁰¹ not answer⁷⁷²⁵ Abner⁷⁴ a word¹⁶⁹⁷ again, because he feared³³⁷² him.
3:12 And Abner⁷⁴ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ to David¹⁷³² on his behalf, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Whose is the land?⁷⁷⁶ saying⁵⁵⁹ also, Make³⁷⁷² thy league¹²⁸⁵ with me, and, behold, my hand³⁰²⁷ shall be with thee, to bring about⁵⁴³⁷ all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ unto thee.
3:13 And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Well;²⁸⁹⁶ I will make³⁷⁷² a league¹²⁸⁵ with thee: but one²⁵⁹ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ I require⁷⁵⁹² of thee, that is,⁵⁵⁹ Thou shalt not see⁷²⁰⁰ my face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ except thou first⁶⁴⁴⁰ bring⁹³⁵ Michal⁴³²⁴ Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ daughter,¹³²³ when thou comest⁹³⁵ to see⁷²⁰⁰ my face.⁶⁴⁴⁰
3:14 And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ to Ishbosheth³⁷⁸ Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ son,¹¹²¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ me my wife⁸⁰² Michal,⁴³²⁴ which I espoused⁷⁸¹ to me for an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ foreskins⁶¹⁹⁰ of the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰
3:15 And Ishbosheth³⁷⁸ sent,⁷⁹⁷¹ and took³⁹⁴⁷ her from her husband,³⁷⁶ even from Phaltiel⁶⁴⁰⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Laish.^38893919
3:16 And her husband³⁷⁶ went³²¹² with her along weeping^19801058 behind³¹⁰ her to Bahurim.⁹⁸⁰ Then said⁵⁵⁹ Abner⁷⁴ unto him, Go,³²¹² return.⁷⁷²⁵ And he returned.⁷⁷²⁵
3:17 And Abner⁷⁴ had communication^19611697 with the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye sought¹²⁴⁵ for David¹⁷³² in times⁸⁵⁴³ past⁸⁰³² to be king⁴⁴²⁸ over you:
3:18 Now then do⁶²¹³ it: for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken⁵⁵⁹ of David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹ By the hand³⁰²⁷ of my servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² I will save³⁴⁶⁷ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of all their enemies.³⁴¹
3:19 And Abner⁷⁴ also spake¹⁶⁹⁶ in the ears²⁴¹ of Benjamin:¹¹⁴⁴ and Abner⁷⁴ went³²¹² also to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ in the ears²⁴¹ of David¹⁷³² in Hebron²²⁷⁵ all that seemed⁵⁸⁶⁹ good²⁸⁹⁶ to Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and that seemed good⁵⁸⁶⁹ to the whole house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Benjamin.¹¹⁴⁴
3:20 So Abner⁷⁴ came⁹³⁵ to David¹⁷³² to Hebron,²²⁷⁵ and twenty⁶²⁴² men⁵⁸² with him. And David¹⁷³² made⁶²¹³ Abner⁷⁴ and the men⁵⁸² that were with him a feast.⁴⁹⁶⁰
3:21 And Abner⁷⁴ said⁵⁵⁹ unto David,¹⁷³² I will arise⁶⁹⁶⁵ and go,³²¹² and will gather⁶⁹⁰⁸ all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ unto my lord¹¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ that they may make³⁷⁷² a league¹²⁸⁵ with thee, and that thou mayest reign⁴⁴²⁷ over all that thine heart⁵³¹⁵ desireth.¹⁸³ And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ ➔ Abner⁷⁴ away;⁷⁹⁷¹ and he went³²¹² in peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵
3:22 And, behold, the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of David¹⁷³² and Joab³⁰⁹⁷ came⁹³⁵ from pursuing a troop,¹⁴¹⁶ and brought in⁹³⁵ a great⁷²²⁷ spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ with them: but Abner⁷⁴ was not with David¹⁷³² in Hebron;²²⁷⁵ for he had sent him away,⁷⁹⁷¹ and he was gone³²¹² in peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵
3:23 When Joab³⁰⁹⁷ and all the host⁶⁶³⁵ that was with him were come,⁹³⁵ they told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Abner⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Ner⁵³⁶⁹ came⁹³⁵ to the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and he hath sent him away,⁷⁹⁷¹ and he is gone³²¹² in peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵
3:24 Then Joab³⁰⁹⁷ came⁹³⁵ to the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ What hast thou done?⁶²¹³ behold, Abner⁷⁴ came⁹³⁵ unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away,⁷⁹⁷¹ and he is quite¹⁹⁸⁰ gone?³²¹²
3:25 Thou knowest³⁰⁴⁵ Abner⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Ner,⁵³⁶⁹ that he came⁹³⁵ to deceive⁶⁶⁰¹ thee, and to know³⁰⁴⁵ thy going out⁴¹⁶¹ and thy coming in,^41263996 and to know³⁰⁴⁵ all that thou doest.⁶²¹³
3:26 And when Joab³⁰⁹⁷ was come out³³¹⁸ from David,¹⁷³² he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ after³¹⁰ Abner,⁷⁴ which brought him again⁷⁷²⁵ from the well⁹⁵³ of Sirah:⁵⁶²⁶ but David¹⁷³² knew³⁰⁴⁵ it not.
3:27 And when Abner⁷⁴ was returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Hebron,²²⁷⁵ Joab³⁰⁹⁷ took him aside⁵¹⁸⁶ in^4138432 the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ with him quietly,⁷⁹⁸⁷ and smote⁵²²¹ him there under the fifth²⁵⁷⁰ rib, that he died,⁴¹⁹¹ for the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of Asahel⁶²¹⁴ his brother.²⁵¹
3:28 And afterward³¹⁰ when David¹⁷³² heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, he said,⁵⁵⁹ I and my kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ are guiltless⁵³⁵⁵ before the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ for⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever⁵⁷⁶⁹ from the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of Abner⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Ner:⁵³⁶⁹
3:29 Let it rest²³⁴² on the head⁷²¹⁸ of Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ and on all his father's¹ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and let there not fail³⁷⁷² from the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Joab³⁰⁹⁷ one that hath an issue,²¹⁰⁰ or that is a leper,⁶⁸⁷⁹ or that leaneth²³⁸⁸ on a staff,⁶⁴¹⁸ or that falleth⁵³⁰⁷ on the sword,²⁷¹⁹ or that lacketh²⁶³⁸ bread.³⁸⁹⁹
3:30 So Joab³⁰⁹⁷ and Abishai⁵² his brother²⁵¹ slew²⁰²⁶ Abner,⁷⁴ because he had slain⁴¹⁹¹ their brother²⁵¹ Asahel⁶²¹⁴ at Gibeon¹³⁹¹ in the battle.⁴⁴²¹
3:31 And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ to Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ and to all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were with him, Rend⁷¹⁶⁷ your clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and gird²²⁹⁶ you with sackcloth,⁸²⁴² and mourn⁵⁵⁹⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Abner.⁷⁴ And king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² himself followed^1980310 the bier.⁴²⁹⁶
3:32 And they buried⁶⁹¹² Abner⁷⁴ in Hebron:²²⁷⁵ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ his voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and wept¹⁰⁵⁸ at the grave⁶⁹¹³ of Abner;⁷⁴ and all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ wept.¹⁰⁵⁸
3:33 And the king⁴⁴²⁸ lamented⁶⁹⁶⁹ over Abner,⁷⁴ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Died⁴¹⁹¹ Abner⁷⁴ as a fool⁵⁰³⁶ dieth?⁴¹⁹⁴
3:34 Thy hands³⁰²⁷ were not bound,⁶³¹ nor thy feet⁷²⁷² put⁵⁰⁶⁶ into fetters:⁵¹⁷⁸ as a man falleth⁵³⁰⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ wicked⁵⁷⁶⁶ men,¹¹²¹ so fellest⁵³⁰⁷ thou. And all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ wept¹⁰⁵⁸ again³²⁵⁴ over him.
3:35 And when all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ came⁹³⁵ to cause¹²⁶² ➔ David¹⁷³² to eat¹²⁶² meat³⁸⁹⁹ while it was yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ day,³¹¹⁷ David¹⁷³² sware,⁷⁶⁵⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ So do⁶²¹³ God⁴³⁰ to me, and more also,³²⁵⁴ if I taste²⁹³⁸ bread,³⁸⁹⁹ or ought³⁹⁷² else, till⁶⁴⁴⁰ the sun⁸¹²¹ be down.⁹³⁵
3:36 And all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ took notice⁵²³⁴ of it, and it pleased^31905869 them: as whatsoever the king⁴⁴²⁸ did⁶²¹³ pleased^58692896 all the people.⁵⁹⁷¹
3:37 For all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ and all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ understood³⁰⁴⁵ that day³¹¹⁷ that it was not of the king⁴⁴²⁸ to slay⁴¹⁹¹ Abner⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Ner.⁵³⁶⁹
3:38^C And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ Know³⁰⁴⁵ ye not that there is a prince⁸²⁶⁹ and a great man¹⁴¹⁹ fallen⁵³⁰⁷ this day³¹¹⁷ in Israel?³⁴⁷⁸
3:39^C And I am this day³¹¹⁷ weak,⁷³⁹⁰ though anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ king;⁴⁴²⁸ and these men⁵⁸² the sons¹¹²¹ of Zeruiah⁶⁸⁷⁰ be too hard⁷¹⁸⁶ for me: the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall reward⁷⁹⁹⁹ the doer of evil⁶²¹³ according to his wickedness.⁷⁴⁵¹

[2 Samuel 4]
4:1 And when Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ son¹¹²¹ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that Abner⁷⁴ was dead⁴¹⁹¹ in Hebron,²²⁷⁵ his hands³⁰²⁷ were feeble,⁷⁵⁰³ and all the Israelites³⁴⁷⁸ were troubled.⁹²⁶
4:2 And Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ son¹¹²¹ had¹⁹⁶¹ two⁸¹⁴⁷ men⁵⁸² that were captains⁸²⁶⁹ of bands:¹⁴¹⁶ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the one²⁵⁹ was Baanah,¹¹⁹⁶ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the other⁸¹⁴⁵ Rechab,⁷³⁹⁴ the sons¹¹²¹ of Rimmon⁷⁴¹⁷ a Beerothite,⁸⁸⁶ of the children¹¹²¹ of Benjamin:¹¹⁴⁴ (for Beeroth⁸⁸¹ also was reckoned²⁸⁰³ to Benjamin:¹¹⁴⁴
4:3 And the Beerothites⁸⁸⁶ fled¹²⁷² to Gittaim,¹⁶⁶⁴ and were sojourners¹⁴⁸¹ there until this day.)³¹¹⁷
4:4 And Jonathan,³⁰⁸³ Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ son,¹¹²¹ had a son¹¹²¹ that was lame⁵²²³ of his feet.⁷²⁷² He was five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when the tidings⁸⁰⁵² came⁹³⁵ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ and Jonathan³⁰⁸³ out of Jezreel,³¹⁵⁷ and his nurse⁵³⁹ took him up,⁵³⁷⁵ and fled:⁵¹²⁷ and it came to pass, as she made haste²⁶⁴⁸ to flee,⁵¹²⁷ that he fell,⁵³⁰⁷ and became lame.⁶⁴⁵² And his name⁸⁰³⁴ was Mephibosheth.⁴⁶⁴⁸
4:5 And the sons¹¹²¹ of Rimmon⁷⁴¹⁷ the Beerothite,⁸⁸⁶ Rechab⁷³⁹⁴ and Baanah,¹¹⁹⁶ went,³²¹² and came⁹³⁵ about the heat²⁵²⁷ of the day³¹¹⁷ to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ishbosheth,³⁷⁸ who lay⁷⁹⁰¹ on a bed⁴⁹⁰⁴ at noon.⁶⁶⁷²
4:6 And they came thither⁹³⁵ into the midst⁸⁴³² of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ as though they would have fetched³⁹⁴⁷ wheat;²⁴⁰⁶ and they smote⁵²²¹ him under the fifth²⁵⁷⁰ rib: and Rechab⁷³⁹⁴ and Baanah¹¹⁹⁶ his brother²⁵¹ escaped.⁴⁴²²
4:7 For when they came⁹³⁵ into the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ he lay⁷⁹⁰¹ on his bed⁴²⁹⁶ in his bedchamber,^23154904 and they smote⁵²²¹ him, and slew⁴¹⁹¹ him, and beheaded⁵⁴⁹³ him, and took³⁹⁴⁷ his head,⁷²¹⁸ and gat them away³²¹² through¹⁸⁷⁰ the plain⁶¹⁶⁰ all night.³⁹¹⁵
4:8 And they brought⁹³⁵ the head⁷²¹⁸ of Ishbosheth³⁷⁸ unto David¹⁷³² to Hebron,²²⁷⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ to the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Behold the head⁷²¹⁸ of Ishbosheth³⁷⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ thine enemy,³⁴¹ which sought¹²⁴⁵ thy life;⁵³¹⁵ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath⁵⁴¹⁴ avenged⁵³⁶⁰ my lord¹¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ this day³¹¹⁷ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and of his seed.²²³³
4:9 And David¹⁷³² answered⁶⁰³⁰ Rechab⁷³⁹⁴ and Baanah¹¹⁹⁶ his brother,²⁵¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Rimmon⁷⁴¹⁷ the Beerothite,⁸⁸⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, As the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ who hath redeemed⁶²⁹⁹ my soul⁵³¹⁵ out of all adversity,⁶⁸⁶⁹
4:10 When one told⁵⁰⁴⁶ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ is dead,⁴¹⁹¹ thinking to have brought⁵⁸⁶⁹ good tidings,¹³¹⁹ I took hold²⁷⁰ of him, and slew²⁰²⁶ him in Ziklag,⁶⁸⁶⁰ who thought that I would have given⁵⁴¹⁴ him a reward for his tidings:¹³⁰⁹
4:11^C How much more, when wicked⁷⁵⁶³ men⁵⁸² have slain²⁰²⁶ a righteous⁶⁶⁶² person³⁷⁶ in his own house¹⁰⁰⁴ upon his bed?⁴⁹⁰⁴ shall I not therefore now require¹²⁴⁵ his blood¹⁸¹⁸ of your hand,³⁰²⁷ and take you away¹¹⁹⁷ from the earth?⁷⁷⁶
4:12 And David¹⁷³² commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ his young men,⁵²⁸⁸ and they slew²⁰²⁶ them, and cut off⁷¹¹² their hands³⁰²⁷ and their feet,⁷²⁷² and hanged them up⁸⁵¹⁸ over the pool¹²⁹⁵ in Hebron.²²⁷⁵ But they took³⁹⁴⁷ the head⁷²¹⁸ of Ishbosheth,³⁷⁸ and buried⁶⁹¹² it in the sepulchre⁶⁹¹³ of Abner⁷⁴ in Hebron.²²⁷⁵

[2 Samuel 5]
5:1 Then came⁹³⁵ all the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to David¹⁷³² unto Hebron,²²⁷⁵ and spake,⁵⁵⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, we are thy bone⁶¹⁰⁶ and thy flesh.¹³²⁰
5:2 Also in time past,^8658032 when Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ was king⁴⁴²⁸ over us, thou wast he that leddest out³³¹⁸ and broughtest in⁹³⁵ Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to thee, Thou shalt feed⁷⁴⁶² my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and thou shalt be a captain⁵⁰⁵⁷ over Israel.³⁴⁷⁸
5:3^C So all the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ to the king⁴⁴²⁸ to Hebron;²²⁷⁵ and king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² made³⁷⁷² a league¹²⁸⁵ with them in Hebron²²⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and they anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ over Israel.³⁴⁷⁸
5:4 David¹⁷³² was thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ forty⁷⁰⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹
5:5^C In Hebron²²⁷⁵ he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over Judah³⁰⁶³ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ and six⁸³³⁷ months:²³²⁰ and in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ over all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah.³⁰⁶³
5:6^C And the king⁴⁴²⁸ and his men⁵⁸² went³²¹² to Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ unto the Jebusites,²⁹⁸³ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land:⁷⁷⁶ which spake⁵⁵⁹ unto David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Except thou take away⁵⁴⁹³ the blind⁵⁷⁸⁷ and the lame,⁶⁴⁵⁵ thou shalt not come in⁹³⁵ hither: thinking,⁵⁵⁹ David¹⁷³² cannot come in⁹³⁵ hither.
5:7^C Nevertheless David¹⁷³² took³⁹²⁰ the strong hold⁴⁶⁸⁶ of Zion:⁶⁷²⁶ the same is the city⁵⁸⁹² of David.¹⁷³²
5:8^C And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ on that day,³¹¹⁷ Whosoever getteth up⁵⁰⁶⁰ to the gutter,⁶⁷⁹⁴ and smiteth⁵²²¹ the Jebusites,²⁹⁸³ and the lame⁶⁴⁵⁵ and the blind,⁵⁷⁸⁷ that are hated⁸¹³⁰ of David's¹⁷³² soul,⁵³¹⁵ he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said,⁵⁵⁹ The blind⁵⁷⁸⁷ and the lame⁶⁴⁵⁵ shall not come⁹³⁵ into the house.¹⁰⁰⁴
5:9 So David¹⁷³² dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the fort,⁴⁶⁸⁶ and called⁷¹²¹ it the city⁵⁸⁹² of David.¹⁷³² And David¹⁷³² built¹¹²⁹ round about⁵⁴³⁹ from Millo⁴⁴⁰⁷ and inward.¹⁰⁰⁴
5:10 And David¹⁷³² went³²¹² on,¹⁹⁸⁰ and grew great,¹⁴¹⁹ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ was with him.
5:11 And Hiram²⁴³⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Tyre⁶⁸⁶⁵ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ to David,¹⁷³² and cedar⁷³⁰ trees,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and carpenters,²⁷⁹⁶ and masons:⁷⁰²³⁶⁸ and they built¹¹²⁹ David¹⁷³² an house.¹⁰⁰⁴
5:12^C And David¹⁷³² perceived³⁰⁴⁵ that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had established³⁵⁵⁹ him king⁴⁴²⁸ over Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and that he had exalted⁵³⁷⁵ his kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ for his people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel's³⁴⁷⁸ sake.
5:13 And David¹⁷³² took³⁹⁴⁷ him more concubines⁶³⁷⁰ and wives⁸⁰² out of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ after³¹⁰ he was come⁹³⁵ from Hebron:²²⁷⁵ and there were yet sons¹¹²¹ and daughters¹³²³ born³²⁰⁵ to David.¹⁷³²
5:14 And these be the names⁸⁰³⁴ of those that were born³²⁰⁹ unto him in Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹ Shammua,⁸⁰⁵¹ and Shobab,⁷⁷²⁷ and Nathan,⁵⁴¹⁶ and Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰
5:15 Ibhar²⁹⁸⁴ also, and Elishua,⁴⁷⁴ and Nepheg,⁵²⁹⁸ and Japhia,³³⁰⁹
5:16 And Elishama,⁴⁷⁶ and Eliada,⁴⁵⁰ and Eliphalet.⁴⁶⁷
5:17 But when the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that they had anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ over Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ all the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ came up⁵⁹²⁷ to seek¹²⁴⁵ David;¹⁷³² and David¹⁷³² heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ of it, and went down³³⁸¹ to the hold.⁴⁶⁸⁶
5:18 The Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ also came⁹³⁵ and spread⁵²⁰³ themselves in the valley⁶⁰¹⁰ of Rephaim.⁷⁴⁹⁷
5:19^C And David¹⁷³² enquired⁷⁵⁹² of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Shall I go up⁵⁹²⁷ to the Philistines?⁶⁴³⁰ wilt thou deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ them into mine hand?³⁰²⁷ And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto David,¹⁷³² Go up:⁵⁹²⁷ for I will doubtless⁵⁴¹⁴ deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ into thine hand.³⁰²⁷
5:20^C And David¹⁷³² came⁹³⁵ to Baalperazim,¹¹⁸⁸ and David¹⁷³² smote⁵²²¹ them there, and said,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath broken forth⁶⁵⁵⁵ upon mine enemies³⁴¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me, as the breach⁶⁵⁵⁶ of waters.⁴³²⁵ Therefore he called⁷¹²¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of that place⁴⁷²⁵ Baalperazim.¹¹⁸⁸
5:21^C And there they left⁵⁸⁰⁰ their images,⁶⁰⁹¹ and David¹⁷³² and his men⁵⁸² burned⁵³⁷⁵ them.
5:22 And the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ came up⁵⁹²⁷ yet again,³²⁵⁴ and spread⁵²⁰³ themselves in the valley⁶⁰¹⁰ of Rephaim.⁷⁴⁹⁷
5:23 And when David¹⁷³² enquired⁷⁵⁹² of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ he said,⁵⁵⁹ Thou shalt not go up;⁵⁹²⁷ but fetch a compass⁵⁴³⁷ behind³¹⁰ them, and come⁹³⁵ upon them over against⁴¹³⁶ the mulberry trees.¹⁰⁵⁷
5:24 And let it be, when thou hearest⁸⁰⁸⁵ the sound⁶⁹⁶³ of a going⁶⁸⁰⁷ in the tops⁷²¹⁸ of the mulberry trees,¹⁰⁵⁷ that then thou shalt bestir²⁷⁸² thyself: for then shall the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ go out³³¹⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, to smite⁵²²¹ the host⁴²⁶⁴ of the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰
5:25 And David¹⁷³² did so,⁶²¹³ as the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ him; and smote⁵²²¹ the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ from Geba¹³⁸⁷ until thou come⁹³⁵ to Gazer.¹⁵⁰⁷

[2 Samuel 6]
6:1^C Again, David¹⁷³² gathered together^6223254 all the chosen⁹⁷⁷ men of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand.⁵⁰⁵
6:2^C And David¹⁷³² arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went³²¹² with all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were with him from Baale of Judah,¹¹⁸⁴ to bring up⁵⁹²⁷ from thence the ark⁷²⁷ of God,⁴³⁰ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ is called⁷¹²¹ by the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ that dwelleth³⁴²⁷ between the cherubims.³⁷⁴²
6:3^C And they set⁷³⁹² the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ upon a new²³¹⁹ cart,⁵⁶⁹⁹ and brought⁵³⁷⁵ it out of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Abinadab⁴¹ that was in Gibeah:¹³⁹⁰ and Uzzah⁵⁷⁹⁸ and Ahio,²⁸³ the sons¹¹²¹ of Abinadab,⁴¹ drave⁵⁰⁹⁰ the new²³¹⁹ cart.⁵⁶⁹⁹
6:4 And they brought⁵³⁷⁵ it out of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Abinadab⁴¹ which was at Gibeah,¹³⁹⁰ accompanying⁵⁹⁷³ the ark⁷²⁷ of God:⁴³⁰ and Ahio²⁸³ went¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the ark.⁷²⁷
6:5 And David¹⁷³² and all the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ played⁷⁸³² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ on all manner of instruments made of fir¹²⁶⁵ wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ even on harps,³⁶⁵⁸ and on psalteries,⁵⁰³⁵ and on timbrels,⁸⁵⁹⁶ and on cornets,⁴⁵¹⁷ and on cymbals.⁶⁷⁶⁷
6:6 And when they came⁹³⁵ to Nachon's⁵²²⁵ threshingfloor,¹⁶³⁷ Uzzah⁵⁷⁹⁸ put forth⁷⁹⁷¹ his hand to the ark⁷²⁷ of God,⁴³⁰ and took hold²⁷⁰ of it; for the oxen¹²⁴¹ shook⁸⁰⁵⁸ it.
6:7^C And the anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against Uzzah;⁵⁷⁹⁸ and God⁴³⁰ smote⁵²²¹ him there for his error;⁷⁹⁴⁴ and there he died⁴¹⁹¹ by the ark⁷²⁷ of God.⁴³⁰
6:8^C And David¹⁷³² was displeased,²⁷³⁴ because the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had made⁶⁵⁵⁵ a breach⁶⁵⁵⁶ upon Uzzah:⁵⁷⁹⁸ and he called⁷¹²¹ the name of the place⁴⁷²⁵ Perezuzzah⁶⁵⁶⁰ to this day.³¹¹⁷
6:9^C And David¹⁷³² was afraid³³⁷² of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ that day,³¹¹⁷ and said,⁵⁵⁹ How shall the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ come⁹³⁵ to me?
6:10 So David¹⁷³² would¹⁴ not remove⁵⁴⁹³ the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto him into the city⁵⁸⁹² of David:¹⁷³² but David¹⁷³² carried it aside⁵¹⁸⁶ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Obededom⁵⁶⁵⁴ the Gittite.¹⁶⁶³
6:11^C And the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ continued³⁴²⁷ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Obededom⁵⁶⁵⁴ the Gittite¹⁶⁶³ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ months:²³²⁰ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ blessed¹²⁸⁸ Obededom,⁵⁶⁵⁴ and all his household.¹⁰⁰⁴
6:12^C And it was told⁵⁰⁴⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath blessed¹²⁸⁸ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Obededom,⁵⁶⁵⁴ and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark⁷²⁷ of God.⁴³⁰ So David¹⁷³² went³²¹² and brought up⁵⁹²⁷ the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ from the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Obededom⁵⁶⁵⁴ into the city⁵⁸⁹² of David¹⁷³² with gladness.⁸⁰⁵⁷
6:13^C And it was so, that when they that bare⁵³⁷⁵ the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had gone⁶⁸⁰⁵ six⁸³³⁷ paces,⁶⁸⁰⁶ he sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ oxen⁷⁷⁹⁴ and fatlings.⁴⁸⁰⁶
6:14^C And David¹⁷³² danced³⁷⁶⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with all his might;⁵⁷⁹⁷ and David¹⁷³² was girded²²⁹⁶ with a linen⁹⁰⁶ ephod.⁶⁴⁶
6:15^C So David¹⁷³² and all the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ brought up⁵⁹²⁷ the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with shouting,⁸⁶⁴³ and with the sound⁶⁹⁶³ of the trumpet.⁷⁷⁸²
6:16 And as the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came⁹³⁵ into the city⁵⁸⁹² of David,¹⁷³² Michal⁴³²⁴ Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ daughter¹³²³ looked⁸²⁵⁹ through a window,²⁴⁷⁴ and saw⁷²⁰⁰ king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² leaping⁶³³⁹ and dancing³⁷⁶⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and she despised⁹⁵⁹ him in her heart.³⁸²⁰
6:17 And they brought⁹³⁵ in the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and set³³²² it in his place,⁴⁷²⁵ in the midst⁸⁴³² of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ that David¹⁷³² had pitched⁵¹⁸⁶ for it: and David¹⁷³² offered⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ and peace offerings⁸⁰⁰² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸
6:18 And as soon as David¹⁷³² had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of offering⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ and peace offerings,⁸⁰⁰² he blessed¹²⁸⁸ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts.⁶⁶³⁵
6:19 And he dealt²⁵⁰⁵ among all the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ even among the whole multitude¹⁹⁹⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ as well to the women⁸⁰² as men,³⁷⁶ to every one³⁷⁶ a²⁵⁹ cake²⁴⁷¹ of bread,³⁸⁹⁹ and a good piece⁸²⁹ of flesh, and a flagon⁸⁰⁹ of wine. So all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ departed³²¹² every one³⁷⁶ to his house.¹⁰⁰⁴
6:20 Then David¹⁷³² returned⁷⁷²⁵ to bless¹²⁸⁸ his household.¹⁰⁰⁴ And Michal⁴³²⁴ the daughter¹³²³ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ came out³³¹⁸ to meet⁷¹²⁵ David,¹⁷³² and said,⁵⁵⁹ How glorious³⁵¹³ was the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to day,³¹¹⁷ who uncovered¹⁵⁴⁰ himself to day³¹¹⁷ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the handmaids⁵¹⁹ of his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ as one²⁵⁹ of the vain fellows⁷³⁸⁶ shamelessly¹⁵⁴⁰ uncovereth¹⁵⁴⁰ himself!
6:21 And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Michal,⁴³²⁴ It was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which chose⁹⁷⁷ me before thy father,¹ and before all his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ to appoint⁶⁶⁸⁰ me ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ over the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ over Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ therefore will I play⁷⁸³² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸
6:22 And I will yet be more vile⁷⁰⁴³ than thus,²⁰⁶³ and will be base⁸²¹⁷ in mine own sight:⁵⁸⁶⁹ and of the maidservants⁵¹⁹ which thou hast spoken⁵⁵⁹ of, of them shall I be had in honour.³⁵¹³
6:23 Therefore Michal⁴³²⁴ the daughter¹³²³ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ had no child^20563206 unto the day³¹¹⁷ of her death.⁴¹⁹⁴

[2 Samuel 7]
7:1 And it came to pass, when the king⁴⁴²⁸ sat³⁴²⁷ in his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had given him rest⁵¹¹⁷ round about⁵⁴³⁹ from all his enemies;³⁴¹
7:2^C That the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ See⁷²⁰⁰ now, I dwell³⁴²⁷ in an house¹⁰⁰⁴ of cedar,⁷³⁰ but the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ dwelleth³⁴²⁷ within⁸⁴³² curtains.³⁴⁰⁷
7:3 And Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ to the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Go,³²¹² do⁶²¹³ all that is in thine heart;³⁸²⁴ for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is with thee.
7:4 And it came to pass that night,³⁹¹⁵ that the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came unto Nathan,⁵⁴¹⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹
7:5^C Go³²¹² and tell⁵⁵⁹ my servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David,¹⁷³² Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Shalt thou build¹¹²⁹ me an house¹⁰⁰⁴ for me to dwell in?³⁴²⁷
7:6^C Whereas I have not dwelt³⁴²⁷ in any house¹⁰⁰⁴ since the time³¹¹⁷ that I brought up⁵⁹²⁷ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ out of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ even to this day,³¹¹⁷ but have walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in a tent¹⁶⁸ and in a tabernacle.⁴⁹⁰⁸
7:7 In all the places wherein I have walked¹⁹⁸⁰ with all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ I a word¹⁶⁹⁷ with any²⁵⁹ of the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ whom I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ to feed⁷⁴⁶² my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Why build¹¹²⁹ ye not me an house¹⁰⁰⁴ of cedar?⁷³⁰
7:8^C Now therefore so shalt thou say⁵⁵⁹ unto my servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David,¹⁷³² Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ I took³⁹⁴⁷ thee from the sheepcote,⁵¹¹⁶ from following³¹⁰ the sheep,⁶⁶²⁹ to be ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ over my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ over Israel:³⁴⁷⁸
7:9^C And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest,¹⁹⁸⁰ and have cut off³⁷⁷² all thine enemies³⁴¹ out of thy sight,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and have made⁶²¹³ thee a great¹⁴¹⁹ name,⁸⁰³⁴ like unto the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the great¹⁴¹⁹ men that are in the earth.⁷⁷⁶
7:10^C Moreover I will appoint⁷⁷⁶⁰ a place⁴⁷²⁵ for my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and will plant⁵¹⁹³ them, that they may dwell⁷⁹³¹ in a place of their own, and move⁷²⁶⁴ no more; neither shall the children¹¹²¹ of wickedness⁵⁷⁶⁶ afflict⁶⁰³¹ them any more,³²⁵⁴ as beforetime,⁷²²³
7:11 And as since the time³¹¹⁷ that I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ judges⁸¹⁹⁹ to be over my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and have caused thee to rest⁵¹¹⁷ from all thine enemies.³⁴¹ Also the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ telleth⁵⁰⁴⁶ thee that he will make⁶²¹³ thee an house.¹⁰⁰⁴
7:12^C And when thy days³¹¹⁷ be fulfilled,⁴³⁹⁰ and thou shalt sleep⁷⁹⁰¹ with thy fathers,¹ I will set up⁶⁹⁶⁵ thy seed²²³³ after³¹⁰ thee, which shall proceed³³¹⁸ out of thy bowels,⁴⁵⁷⁸ and I will establish³⁵⁵⁹ his kingdom.⁴⁴⁶⁷
7:13^C He shall build¹¹²⁹ an house¹⁰⁰⁴ for my name,⁸⁰³⁴ and I will stablish³⁵⁵⁹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of his kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ for⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever.⁵⁷⁶⁹
7:14^C I will be his father,¹ and he shall be my son.¹¹²¹ If he commit iniquity,⁵⁷⁵³ I will chasten³¹⁹⁸ him with the rod⁷⁶²⁶ of men,⁵⁸² and with the stripes⁵⁰⁶¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of men:¹²⁰
7:15 But my mercy²⁶¹⁷ shall not depart away⁵⁴⁹³ from him, as I took⁵⁴⁹³ it from Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ whom I put away⁵⁴⁹³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee.
7:16^C And thine house¹⁰⁰⁴ and thy kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ shall be established⁵³⁹ for⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever⁵⁷⁶⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee: thy throne³⁶⁷⁸ shall be established³⁵⁵⁹ for⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever.⁵⁷⁶⁹
7:17 According to all these words,¹⁶⁹⁷ and according to all this vision,²³⁸⁴ so did Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto David.¹⁷³²
7:18 Then went⁹³⁵ king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² in, and sat³⁴²⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and he said,⁵⁵⁹ Who am I, O Lord¹³⁶ GOD?³⁰⁶⁹ and what is my house,¹⁰⁰⁴ that thou hast brought⁹³⁵ me hitherto?¹⁹⁸⁸
7:19 And this was yet a small thing⁶⁹⁹⁴ in thy sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ O Lord¹³⁶ GOD;³⁰⁶⁹ but thou hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ also of thy servant's⁵⁶⁵⁰ house¹⁰⁰⁴ for a great while to come.⁷³⁵⁰ And is this the manner⁸⁴⁵² of man,¹²⁰ O Lord¹³⁶ GOD?³⁰⁶⁹
7:20 And what can³²⁵⁴ ➔ David¹⁷³² say¹⁶⁹⁶ more³²⁵⁴ unto thee? for thou, Lord¹³⁶ GOD,³⁰⁶⁹ knowest³⁰⁴⁵ thy servant.⁵⁶⁵⁰
7:21 For thy word's¹⁶⁹⁷ sake, and according to thine own heart,³⁸²⁰ hast thou done⁶²¹³ all these great things,¹⁴²⁰ to make thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ know³⁰⁴⁵ them.
7:22 Wherefore thou art great,¹⁴³¹ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God:⁴³⁰ for there is none like thee, neither is there any God⁴³⁰ beside²¹⁰⁸ thee, according to all that we have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ with our ears.²⁴¹
7:23 And what one²⁵⁹ nation¹⁴⁷¹ in the earth⁷⁷⁶ is like thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ even like Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ whom God⁴³⁰ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to redeem⁶²⁹⁹ for a people⁵⁹⁷¹ to himself, and to make⁷⁷⁶⁰ him a name,⁸⁰³⁴ and to do⁶²¹³ for you great things¹⁴²⁰ and terrible,³³⁷² for thy land,⁷⁷⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ which thou redeemedst⁶²⁹⁹ to thee from Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ from the nations¹⁴⁷¹ and their gods?⁴³⁰
7:24 For thou hast confirmed³⁵⁵⁹ to thyself thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to be a people⁵⁹⁷¹ unto thee for⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever:⁵⁷⁶⁹ and thou, LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ art become¹⁹⁶¹ their God.⁴³⁰
7:25 And now, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ that thou hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ concerning thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and concerning his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ establish⁶⁹⁶⁵ it for⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ and do⁶²¹³ as thou hast said.¹⁶⁹⁶
7:26 And let thy name⁸⁰³⁴ be magnified¹⁴³¹ for⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ is the God⁴³⁰ over Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and let the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² be established³⁵⁵⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee.
7:27 For thou, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ hast revealed^1540241 to thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ I will build¹¹²⁹ thee an house:¹⁰⁰⁴ therefore hath thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ found⁴⁶⁷² in his heart³⁸²⁰ to pray⁶⁴¹⁹ this prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ unto thee.
7:28 And now, O Lord¹³⁶ GOD,³⁰⁶⁹ thou art that God,⁴³⁰ and thy words¹⁶⁹⁷ be true,⁵⁷¹ and thou hast promised¹⁶⁹⁶ this goodness²⁸⁹⁶ unto thy servant:⁵⁶⁵⁰
7:29 Therefore now let it please²⁹⁷⁴ thee to bless¹²⁸⁸ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ that it may continue for ever⁵⁷⁶⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee: for thou, O Lord¹³⁶ GOD,³⁰⁶⁹ hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ it: and with thy blessing¹²⁹³ let the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ be blessed¹²⁸⁸ for ever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

[2 Samuel 8]
8:1 And after³¹⁰ this it came to pass, that David¹⁷³² smote⁵²²¹ the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and subdued³⁶⁶⁵ them: and David¹⁷³² took³⁹⁴⁷ Methegammah⁴⁹⁶⁵ out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰
8:2 And he smote⁵²²¹ Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and measured⁴⁰⁵⁸ them with a line,²²⁵⁶ casting them down⁷⁹⁰¹ to the ground;⁷⁷⁶ even with two⁸¹⁴⁷ lines²²⁵⁶ measured⁴⁰⁵⁸ he to put to death,⁴¹⁹¹ and with one full⁴³⁹³ line²²⁵⁶ to keep alive.²⁴²¹ And so the Moabites⁴¹²⁴ became David's¹⁷³² servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and brought⁵³⁷⁵ gifts.⁴⁵⁰³
8:3 David¹⁷³² smote⁵²²¹ also Hadadezer,¹⁹⁰⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Rehob,⁷³⁴⁰ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Zobah,⁶⁶⁷⁸ as he went³²¹² to recover⁷⁷²⁵ his border³⁰²⁷ at the river⁵¹⁰⁴ Euphrates.⁶⁵⁷⁸
8:4 And David¹⁷³² took³⁹²⁰ from him a thousand⁵⁰⁵ chariots, and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ footmen:^3767273 and David¹⁷³² houghed⁶¹³¹ all the chariot⁷³⁹³ horses, but reserved³⁴⁹⁸ of them for an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots.⁷³⁹³
8:5 And when the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ of Damascus¹⁸³⁴ came⁹³⁵ to succour⁵⁸²⁶ Hadadezer¹⁹⁰⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Zobah,⁶⁶⁷⁸ David¹⁷³² slew⁵²²¹ of the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ two⁸¹⁴⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ men.³⁷⁶
8:6 Then David¹⁷³² put⁷⁷⁶⁰ garrisons⁵³³³ in Syria⁷⁵⁸ of Damascus:¹⁸³⁴ and the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ became servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ to David,¹⁷³² and brought⁵³⁷⁵ gifts.⁴⁵⁰³ And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ preserved³⁴⁶⁷ David¹⁷³² whithersoever he went.¹⁹⁸⁰
8:7^C And David¹⁷³² took³⁹⁴⁷ the shields⁷⁹⁸² of gold²⁰⁹¹ that were on the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Hadadezer,¹⁹⁰⁹ and brought⁹³⁵ them to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹
8:8 And from Betah,⁹⁸⁴ and from Berothai,¹²⁶⁸ cities⁵⁸⁹² of Hadadezer,¹⁹⁰⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² took³⁹⁴⁷ exceeding³⁹⁶⁶ much⁷²³⁵ brass.⁵¹⁷⁸
8:9 When Toi⁸⁵⁸³ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Hamath²⁵⁷⁴ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that David¹⁷³² had smitten⁵²²¹ all the host²⁴²⁸ of Hadadezer,¹⁹⁰⁹
8:10 Then Toi⁸⁵⁸³ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ Joram³¹⁴¹ his son¹¹²¹ unto king⁴⁴²⁸ David,¹⁷³² to salute^75927965 him, and to bless¹²⁸⁸ him, because he had fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Hadadezer,¹⁹⁰⁹ and smitten⁵²²¹ him: for Hadadezer¹⁹⁰⁹ had wars^3764421 with Toi.⁸⁵⁸³ And Joram brought with him³⁰²⁷ vessels³⁶²⁷ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of brass:⁵¹⁷⁸
8:11^C Which also king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² did dedicate⁶⁹⁴² unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ with the silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold²⁰⁹¹ that he had dedicated⁶⁹⁴² of all nations¹⁴⁷¹ which he subdued;³⁵³³
8:12 Of Syria,⁷⁵⁸ and of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and of Amalek,⁶⁰⁰² and of the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ of Hadadezer,¹⁹⁰⁹ son¹¹²¹ of Rehob,⁷³⁴⁰ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Zobah.⁶⁶⁷⁸
8:13 And David¹⁷³² gat⁶²¹³ him a name⁸⁰³⁴ when he returned⁷⁷²⁵ from smiting⁵²²¹ of the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ in the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of salt,⁴⁴¹⁷ being eighteen^80836240 thousand⁵⁰⁵ men.
8:14 And he put⁷⁷⁶⁰ garrisons⁵³³³ in Edom;¹²³ throughout all Edom¹²³ put⁷⁷⁶⁰ he garrisons,⁵³³³ and all they of Edom¹²³ became David's¹⁷³² servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰ And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ preserved³⁴⁶⁷ David¹⁷³² whithersoever he went.¹⁹⁸⁰
8:15 And David¹⁷³² reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over all Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and David¹⁷³² executed⁶²¹³ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ and justice⁶⁶⁶⁶ unto all his people.⁵⁹⁷¹
8:16 And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Zeruiah⁶⁸⁷⁰ was over the host;⁶⁶³⁵ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the son¹¹²¹ of Ahilud²⁸⁶ was recorder;²¹⁴²
8:17 And Zadok⁶⁶⁵⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahitub,²⁸⁵ and Ahimelech²⁸⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Abiathar,⁵⁴ were the priests;³⁵⁴⁸ and Seraiah⁸³⁰⁴ was the scribe;⁵⁶⁰⁸
8:18 And Benaiah¹¹⁴¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ was over both the Cherethites³⁷⁷⁴ and the Pelethites;⁶⁴³² and David's¹⁷³² sons¹¹²¹ were chief rulers.³⁵⁴⁸

[2 Samuel 9]
9:1^C And David¹⁷³² said,⁵⁵⁹ Is there yet³⁴²⁶ any that is left³⁴⁹⁸ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ that I may shew⁶²¹³ him kindness²⁶¹⁷ for Jonathan's³⁰⁸³ sake?
9:2 And there was of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ a servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Ziba.⁶⁷¹⁷ And when they had called⁷¹²¹ him unto David,¹⁷³² the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Art thou Ziba?⁶⁷¹⁷ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ is he.
9:3 And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Is there not⁶⁵⁷ yet any³⁷⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ that I may shew⁶²¹³ the kindness²⁶¹⁷ of God⁴³⁰ unto him? And Ziba⁶⁷¹⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Jonathan³⁰⁸³ hath yet a son,¹¹²¹ which is lame⁵²²³ on his feet.⁷²⁷²
9:4 And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Where³⁷⁵ is he? And Ziba⁶⁷¹⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Behold, he is in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Machir,⁴³⁵³ the son¹¹²¹ of Ammiel,⁵⁹⁸⁸ in Lodebar.³⁸¹⁰
9:5 Then king⁴⁴²⁸ David¹⁷³² sent,⁷⁹⁷¹ and fetched³⁹⁴⁷ him out of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Machir,⁴³⁵³ the son¹¹²¹ of Ammiel,⁵⁹⁸⁸ from Lodebar.³⁸¹⁰
9:6^C Now when Mephibosheth,⁴⁶⁴⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jonathan,³⁰⁸³ the son¹¹²¹ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ was come⁹³⁵ unto David,¹⁷³² he fell⁵³⁰⁷ on his face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and did reverence.⁷⁸¹² And David¹⁷³² said,⁵⁵⁹ Mephibosheth.⁴⁶⁴⁸ And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ Behold thy servant!⁵⁶⁵⁰
9:7^C And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Fear³³⁷² not: for I will surely⁶²¹³ shew⁶²¹³ thee kindness²⁶¹⁷ for Jonathan³⁰⁸³ thy father's¹ sake, and will restore⁷⁷²⁵ thee all the land⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ thy father;¹ and thou shalt eat³⁹⁸ bread³⁸⁹⁹ at my table⁷⁹⁷⁹ continually.⁸⁵⁴⁸
9:8 And he bowed⁷⁸¹² himself, and said,⁵⁵⁹ What is thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ that thou shouldest look⁶⁴³⁷ upon such a dead⁴¹⁹¹ dog³⁶¹¹ as I am?
9:9 Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ called⁷¹²¹ to Ziba,⁶⁷¹⁷ Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ servant,⁵²⁸⁸ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto thy master's¹¹³ son¹¹²¹ all that pertained¹⁹⁶¹ to Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ and to all his house.¹⁰⁰⁴
9:10 Thou therefore, and thy sons,¹¹²¹ and thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ shall till⁵⁶⁴⁷ the land¹²⁷ for him, and thou shalt bring⁹³⁵ in the fruits, that thy master's¹¹³ son¹¹²¹ may have food³⁸⁹⁹ to eat:³⁹⁸ but Mephibosheth⁴⁶⁴⁸ thy master's¹¹³ son¹¹²¹ shall eat³⁹⁸ bread³⁸⁹⁹ alway⁸⁵⁴⁸ at my table.⁷⁹⁷⁹ Now Ziba⁶⁷¹⁷ had fifteen^25686240 sons¹¹²¹ and twenty⁶²⁴² servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰
9:11 Then said⁵⁵⁹ Ziba⁶⁷¹⁷ unto the king,⁴⁴²⁸ According to all that my lord¹¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ hath commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ his servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ so shall thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ do.⁶²¹³ As for Mephibosheth,⁴⁶⁴⁸ said the king, he shall eat³⁹⁸ at my table,⁷⁹⁷⁹ as one²⁵⁹ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ sons.¹¹²¹
9:12 And Mephibosheth⁴⁶⁴⁸ had a young⁶⁹⁹⁶ son,¹¹²¹ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Micha.⁴³¹⁶ And all that dwelt⁴¹⁸⁶ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ziba⁶⁷¹⁷ were servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ unto Mephibosheth.⁴⁶⁴⁸
9:13 So Mephibosheth⁴⁶⁴⁸ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ for he did eat³⁹⁸ continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ at the king's⁴⁴²⁸ table;⁷⁹⁷⁹ and was lame⁶⁴⁵⁵ on both⁸¹⁴⁷ his feet.⁷²⁷²

[2 Samuel 10]
10:1 And it came to pass after this,³¹⁰ that the king⁴⁴²⁸ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ died,⁴¹⁹¹ and Hanun²⁵⁸⁶ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.
10:2 Then said⁵⁵⁹ David,¹⁷³² I will shew⁶²¹³ kindness²⁶¹⁷ unto Hanun²⁵⁸⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Nahash,⁵¹⁷⁶ as his father¹ shewed⁶²¹³ kindness²⁶¹⁷ unto me. And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to comfort⁵¹⁶² him by the hand³⁰²⁷ of his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ for his father.¹ And David's¹⁷³² servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ came⁹³⁵ into the land⁷⁷⁶ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon.⁵⁹⁸³
10:3 And the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Hanun²⁵⁸⁶ their lord,¹¹³ Thinkest⁵⁸⁶⁹ thou that David¹⁷³² doth honour³⁵¹³ thy father,¹ that he hath sent⁷⁹⁷¹ comforters⁵¹⁶² unto thee? hath not David¹⁷³² rather sent⁷⁹⁷¹ his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ unto thee, to⁵⁶⁶⁸ search²⁷¹³ the city,⁵⁸⁹² and to spy it out,⁷²⁷⁰ and to overthrow²⁰¹⁵ it?
10:4 Wherefore Hanun²⁵⁸⁶ took³⁹⁴⁷ David's¹⁷³² servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and shaved off¹⁵⁴⁸ the one half²⁶⁷⁷ of their beards,²²⁰⁶ and cut off³⁷⁷² their garments⁴⁰⁶³ in the middle,²⁶⁷⁷ even to their buttocks,⁸³⁵⁷ and sent them away.⁷⁹⁷¹
10:5 When they told⁵⁰⁴⁶ it unto David,¹⁷³² he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to meet⁷¹²⁵ them, because the men⁵⁸² were greatly³⁹⁶⁶ ashamed:³⁶³⁷ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Tarry³⁴²⁷ at Jericho³⁴⁰⁵ until your beards²²⁰⁶ be grown,⁶⁷⁷⁹ and then return.⁷⁷²⁵
10:6 And when the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that they stank⁸⁸⁷ before David,¹⁷³² the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and hired⁷⁹³⁶ the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ of Bethrehob,¹⁰⁵⁰ and the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ of Zoba,⁶⁶⁷⁸ twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ footmen,⁷²⁷³ and of king⁴⁴²⁸ Maacah⁴⁶⁰¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ men,³⁷⁶ and of Ishtob³⁸² twelve^62408147 thousand⁵⁰⁵ men.³⁷⁶
10:7 And when David¹⁷³² heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ of it, he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ and all the host⁶⁶³⁵ of the mighty men.¹³⁶⁸
10:8 And the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ came out,³³¹⁸ and put the battle⁴⁴²¹ in array⁶¹⁸⁶ at the entering in⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate:⁸¹⁷⁹ and the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ of Zoba,⁶⁶⁷⁸ and of Rehob,⁷³⁴⁰ and Ishtob,³⁸² and Maacah,⁴⁶⁰¹ were by themselves⁹⁰⁵ in the field.⁷⁷⁰⁴
10:9 When Joab³⁰⁹⁷ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that the front⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the battle⁴⁴²¹ was against him before⁶⁴⁴⁰ and behind,²⁶⁸ he chose⁹⁷⁷ of all the choice⁹⁷⁷ men of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and put them in array⁶¹⁸⁶ against⁷¹²⁵ the Syrians:⁷⁵⁸
10:10 And the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ he delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Abishai⁵² his brother,²⁵¹ that he might put them in array⁶¹⁸⁶ against⁷¹²⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon.⁵⁹⁸³
10:11 And he said,⁵⁵⁹ If the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ be too strong²³⁸⁸ for me, then thou shalt help³⁴⁴⁴ me: but if the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ be too strong²³⁸⁸ for thee, then I will come¹⁹⁸⁰ and help³⁴⁶⁷ thee.
10:12^C Be of good courage,²³⁸⁸ and let us play the men²³⁸⁸ for our people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and for the cities⁵⁸⁹² of our God:⁴³⁰ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ do⁶²¹³ that which seemeth⁵⁸⁶⁹ him good.²⁸⁹⁶
10:13 And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ drew nigh,⁵⁰⁶⁶ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were with him, unto the battle⁴⁴²¹ against the Syrians:⁷⁵⁸ and they fled⁵¹²⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him.
10:14 And when the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ were fled,⁵¹²⁷ then fled⁵¹²⁷ they also before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Abishai,⁵² and entered⁹³⁵ into the city.⁵⁸⁹² So Joab³⁰⁹⁷ returned⁷⁷²⁵ from the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹
10:15 And when the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that they were smitten⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ they gathered⁶²² themselves together.³¹⁶²
10:16 And Hadarezer¹⁹²⁸ sent,⁷⁹⁷¹ and brought out³³¹⁸ the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ that were beyond⁵⁶⁷⁶ the river:⁵¹⁰⁴ and they came⁹³⁵ to Helam;²⁴³¹ and Shobach⁷⁷³¹ the captain⁸²⁶⁹ of the host⁶⁶³⁵ of Hadarezer¹⁹²⁸ went before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them.
10:17 And when it was told⁵⁰⁴⁶ David,¹⁷³² he gathered⁶²² ➔ all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ together,⁶²² and passed over⁵⁶⁷⁴ Jordan,³³⁸³ and came⁹³⁵ to Helam.²⁴³¹ And the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ set themselves in array⁶¹⁸⁶ against⁷¹²⁵ David,¹⁷³² and fought³⁸⁹⁸ with him.
10:18 And the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ fled⁵¹²⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and David¹⁷³² slew²⁰²⁶ the men of seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots⁷³⁹³ of the Syrians,⁷⁵⁸ and forty⁷⁰⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ and smote⁵²²¹ Shobach⁷⁷³¹ the captain⁸²⁶⁹ of their host,⁶⁶³⁵ who died⁴¹⁹¹ there.
10:19^C And when all the kings⁴⁴²⁸ that were servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ to Hadarezer¹⁹²⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that they were smitten⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ they made peace⁷⁹⁹⁹ with Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ them. So the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ feared³³⁷² to help³⁴⁶⁷ the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ any more.

[2 Samuel 11]
11:1 And it came to pass, after the year⁸¹⁴¹ was expired,⁸⁶⁶⁶ at the time⁶²⁵⁶ when kings^44284397 go forth³³¹⁸ to battle, that David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ and his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ with him, and all Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and they destroyed⁷⁸⁴³ the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and besieged⁶⁶⁹⁶ Rabbah.⁷²³⁷ But David¹⁷³² tarried still³⁴²⁷ at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹
11:2^C And it came to pass in an eveningtide,^61536256 that David¹⁷³² arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ from off his bed,⁴⁹⁰⁴ and walked¹⁹⁸⁰ upon the roof¹⁴⁰⁶ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and from the roof¹⁴⁰⁶ he saw⁷²⁰⁰ a woman⁸⁰² washing⁷³⁶⁴ herself; and the woman⁸⁰² was very³⁹⁶⁶ beautiful²⁸⁹⁶ to look upon.⁴⁷⁵⁸
11:3^C And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and enquired¹⁸⁷⁵ after the woman.⁸⁰² And one said,⁵⁵⁹ Is not this Bathsheba,¹³³⁹ the daughter¹³²³ of Eliam,⁴⁶³ the wife⁸⁰² of Uriah²²³ the Hittite?²⁸⁵⁰
11:4^C And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers,⁴³⁹⁷ and took³⁹⁴⁷ her; and she came in⁹³⁵ unto him, and he lay⁷⁹⁰¹ with her; for she was purified⁶⁹⁴² from her uncleanness:²⁹³² and she returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto her house.¹⁰⁰⁴
11:5 And the woman⁸⁰² conceived,²⁰²⁹ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ David,¹⁷³² and said,⁵⁵⁹ I am with child.²⁰³⁰
11:6 And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ saying, Send⁷⁹⁷¹ me Uriah²²³ the Hittite.²⁸⁵⁰ And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ Uriah²²³ to David.¹⁷³²
11:7 And when Uriah²²³ was come⁹³⁵ unto him, David¹⁷³² demanded⁷⁵⁹² of him how Joab³⁰⁹⁷ did,⁷⁹⁶⁵ and how the people⁵⁹⁷¹ did,⁷⁹⁶⁵ and how the war⁴⁴²¹ prospered.⁷⁹⁶⁵
11:8 And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ to Uriah,²²³ Go down³³⁸¹ to thy house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and wash⁷³⁶⁴ thy feet.⁷²⁷² And Uriah²²³ departed out³³¹⁸ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and there followed³¹⁰ him a mess⁴⁸⁶⁴ of meat from the king.⁴⁴²⁸
11:9 But Uriah²²³ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ at the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ with all the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of his lord,¹¹³ and went not down³³⁸¹ to his house.¹⁰⁰⁴
11:10 And when they had told⁵⁰⁴⁶ David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Uriah²²³ went not down³³⁸¹ unto his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Uriah,²²³ Camest⁹³⁵ thou not from thy journey?¹⁸⁷⁰ why then didst thou not go down³³⁸¹ unto thine house?¹⁰⁰⁴
11:11 And Uriah²²³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto David,¹⁷³² The ark,⁷²⁷ and Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ abide³⁴²⁷ in tents;⁵⁵²¹ and my lord¹¹³ Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ and the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of my lord,¹¹³ are encamped²⁵⁸³ in the open⁶⁴⁴⁰ fields;⁷⁷⁰⁴ shall I⁵⁸⁹ then go⁹³⁵ into mine house,¹⁰⁰⁴ to eat³⁹⁸ and to drink,⁸³⁵⁴ and to lie⁷⁹⁰¹ with my wife?⁸⁰² as thou livest,²⁴¹⁶ and as thy soul⁵³¹⁵ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ I will not do⁶²¹³ this thing.¹⁶⁹⁷
11:12 And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ to Uriah,²²³ Tarry³⁴²⁷ here to day³¹¹⁷ also, and to morrow⁴²⁷⁹ I will let thee depart.⁷⁹⁷¹ So Uriah²²³ abode³⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ that day,³¹¹⁷ and the morrow.⁴²⁸³
11:13 And when David¹⁷³² had called⁷¹²¹ him, he did eat³⁹⁸ and drink⁸³⁵⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him; and he made him drunk:⁷⁹³⁷ and at even⁶¹⁵³ he went out³³¹⁸ to lie⁷⁹⁰¹ on his bed⁴⁹⁰⁴ with the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of his lord,¹¹³ but went not down³³⁸¹ to his house.¹⁰⁰⁴
11:14 And it came to pass in the morning,¹²⁴² that David¹⁷³² wrote³⁷⁸⁹ a letter⁵⁶¹² to Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ it by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Uriah.²²³
11:15^C And he wrote³⁷⁸⁹ in the letter,⁵⁶¹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Set³⁰⁵¹ ye Uriah²²³ in the forefront^64404136 of the hottest²³⁸⁹ battle,⁴⁴²¹ and retire⁷⁷²⁵ ye from him,³¹⁰ that he may be smitten,⁵²²¹ and die.⁴¹⁹¹
11:16 And it came to pass, when Joab³⁰⁹⁷ observed⁸¹⁰⁴ the city,⁵⁸⁹² that he assigned⁵⁴¹⁴ Uriah²²³ unto a place⁴⁷²⁵ where he knew³⁰⁴⁵ that valiant²⁴²⁸ men⁵⁸² were.
11:17 And the men⁵⁸² of the city⁵⁸⁹² went out,³³¹⁸ and fought³⁸⁹⁸ with Joab:³⁰⁹⁷ and there fell⁵³⁰⁷ some of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of David;¹⁷³² and Uriah²²³ the Hittite²⁸⁵⁰ died⁴¹⁹¹ also.
11:18 Then Joab³⁰⁹⁷ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ David¹⁷³² all the things¹⁶⁹⁷ concerning the war;⁴⁴²¹
11:19 And charged⁶⁶⁸⁰ the messenger,⁴³⁹⁷ saying,⁵⁵⁹ When thou hast made an end³⁶¹⁵ of telling¹⁶⁹⁶ the matters¹⁶⁹⁷ of the war⁴⁴²¹ unto the king,⁴⁴²⁸
11:20 And if so be that the king's⁴⁴²⁸ wrath²⁵³⁴ arise,⁵⁹²⁷ and he say⁵⁵⁹ unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh⁵⁰⁶⁶ unto the city⁵⁸⁹² when ye did fight?³⁸⁹⁸ knew³⁰⁴⁵ ye not that they would shoot³³⁸⁴ from the wall?²³⁴⁶
11:21 Who smote⁵²²¹ Abimelech⁴⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Jerubbesheth?³³⁸⁰ did not a woman⁸⁰² cast⁷⁹⁹³ a piece⁶⁴⁰⁰ of a millstone⁷³⁹³ upon him from the wall,²³⁴⁶ that he died⁴¹⁹¹ in Thebez?⁸⁴⁰⁵ why went ye nigh⁵⁰⁶⁶ the wall?²³⁴⁶ then say⁵⁵⁹ thou, Thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ Uriah²²³ the Hittite²⁸⁵⁰ is dead⁴¹⁹¹ also.
11:22 So the messenger⁴³⁹⁷ went,³²¹² and came⁹³⁵ and shewed⁵⁰⁴⁶ David¹⁷³² all that Joab³⁰⁹⁷ had sent⁷⁹⁷¹ him for.
11:23 And the messenger⁴³⁹⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto David,¹⁷³² Surely the men⁵⁸² prevailed¹³⁹⁶ against us, and came out³³¹⁸ unto us into the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and we were upon them even unto the entering⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate.⁸¹⁷⁹
11:24 And the shooters³³⁸⁴ shot³³⁸⁴ from off the wall²³⁴⁶ upon thy servants;⁵⁶⁵⁰ and some of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ be dead,⁴¹⁹¹ and thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ Uriah²²³ the Hittite²⁸⁵⁰ is dead⁴¹⁹¹ also.
11:25 Then David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto the messenger,⁴³⁹⁷ Thus shalt thou say⁵⁵⁹ unto Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ Let not this thing¹⁶⁹⁷ displease^34155869 thee, for the sword²⁷¹⁹ devoureth³⁹⁸ one as well as another:²⁰⁹⁰ make thy battle⁴⁴²¹ more strong²³⁸⁸ against the city,⁵⁸⁹² and overthrow²⁰⁴⁰ it: and encourage²³⁸⁸ thou him.
11:26 And when the wife⁸⁰² of Uriah²²³ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that Uriah²²³ her husband³⁷⁶ was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ she mourned⁵⁵⁹⁴ for her husband.¹¹⁶⁷
11:27 And when the mourning⁶⁰ was past,⁵⁶⁷⁴ David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and fetched⁶²² her to his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and she became his wife,⁸⁰² and bare³²⁰⁵ him a son.¹¹²¹ But the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ that David¹⁷³² had done⁶²¹³ displeased^34155869 the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

[2 Samuel 12]
12:1^C And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ unto David.¹⁷³² And he came⁹³⁵ unto him, and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, There were two⁸¹⁴⁷ men⁵⁸² in one²⁵⁹ city;⁵⁸⁹² the one²⁵⁹ rich,⁶²²³ and the other²⁵⁹ poor.⁷³²⁶
12:2 The rich⁶²²³ man had exceeding³⁹⁶⁶ many⁷²³⁵ flocks⁶⁶²⁹ and herds:¹²⁴¹
12:3 But the poor⁷³²⁶ man had nothing, save one²⁵⁹ little⁶⁹⁹⁶ ewe lamb,³⁵³⁵ which he had bought⁷⁰⁶⁹ and nourished up:²⁴²¹ and it grew up¹⁴³¹ together³¹⁶² with him, and with his children;¹¹²¹ it did eat³⁹⁸ of his own meat,⁶⁵⁹⁵ and drank⁸³⁵⁴ of his own cup,³⁵⁶³ and lay⁷⁹⁰¹ in his bosom,²⁴³⁶ and was unto him as a daughter.¹³²³
12:4 And there came⁹³⁵ a traveller¹⁹⁸² unto the rich⁶²²³ man,³⁷⁶ and he spared²⁵⁵⁰ to take³⁹⁴⁷ of his own flock⁶⁶²⁹ and of his own herd,¹²⁴¹ to dress⁶²¹³ for the wayfaring man⁷³² that was come⁹³⁵ unto him; but took³⁹⁴⁷ the poor⁷³²⁶ man's³⁷⁶ lamb,³⁵³⁵ and dressed⁶²¹³ it for the man³⁷⁶ that was come⁹³⁵ to him.
12:5^C And David's¹⁷³² anger⁶³⁹ was greatly³⁹⁶⁶ kindled²⁷³⁴ against the man;³⁷⁶ and he said⁵⁵⁹ to Nathan,⁵⁴¹⁶ As the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ the man³⁷⁶ that hath done⁶²¹³ this thing shall surely¹¹²¹ die:⁴¹⁹⁴
12:6 And he shall restore⁷⁹⁹⁹ the lamb³⁵³⁵ fourfold,⁷⁰⁶ because⁶¹¹⁸ he did⁶²¹³ this thing,¹⁶⁹⁷ and because⁸³⁴ he had no pity.²⁵⁵⁰
12:7^C And Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ to David,¹⁷³² Thou art the man.³⁷⁶ Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ I anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ thee king⁴⁴²⁸ over Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and I delivered⁵³³⁷ thee out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of Saul;⁷⁵⁸⁶
12:8 And I gave⁵⁴¹⁴ thee thy master's¹¹³ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and thy master's¹¹³ wives⁸⁰² into thy bosom,²⁴³⁶ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ thee the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and of Judah;³⁰⁶³ and if that had been too little,⁴⁵⁹² I would moreover have given³²⁵⁴ unto thee such²⁰⁰⁷ and such things.²⁰⁰⁷
12:9 Wherefore hast thou despised⁹⁵⁹ the commandment¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to do⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in his sight?⁵⁸⁶⁹ thou hast killed⁵²²¹ Uriah²²³ the Hittite²⁸⁵⁰ with the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and hast taken³⁹⁴⁷ his wife⁸⁰² to be thy wife,⁸⁰² and hast slain²⁰²⁶ him with the sword²⁷¹⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon.⁵⁹⁸³
12:10 Now therefore the sword²⁷¹⁹ shall never^57045769 depart⁵⁴⁹³ from thine house;¹⁰⁰⁴ because⁶¹¹⁸ thou hast despised⁹⁵⁹ me, and hast taken³⁹⁴⁷ the wife⁸⁰² of Uriah²²³ the Hittite²⁸⁵⁰ to be thy wife.⁸⁰²
12:11^C Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold, I will raise up⁶⁹⁶⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ against thee out of thine own house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and I will take³⁹⁴⁷ thy wives⁸⁰² before thine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and give⁵⁴¹⁴ them unto thy neighbour,⁷⁴⁵³ and he shall lie⁷⁹⁰¹ with thy wives⁸⁰² in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of this sun.⁸¹²¹
12:12 For thou didst⁶²¹³ it secretly:⁵⁶⁴³ but I will do⁶²¹³ this thing¹⁶⁹⁷ before all Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and before the sun.⁸¹²¹
12:13^C And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Nathan,⁵⁴¹⁶ I have sinned²³⁹⁸ against the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ And Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto David,¹⁷³² The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ also hath put away⁵⁶⁷⁴ thy sin;²⁴⁰³ thou shalt not die.⁴¹⁹¹
12:14^C Howbeit,⁶⁵⁷ because by this deed¹⁶⁹⁷ thou hast given⁵⁰⁰⁶ ➔ great occasion⁵⁰⁰⁶ to the enemies³⁴¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ to blaspheme,⁵⁰⁰⁶ the child¹¹²¹ also that is born³²⁰⁹ unto thee shall surely⁴¹⁹¹ die.⁴¹⁹¹
12:15 And Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ departed³²¹² unto his house.¹⁰⁰⁴ And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ struck⁵⁰⁶² the child³²⁰⁶ that Uriah's²²³ wife⁸⁰² bare³²⁰⁵ unto David,¹⁷³² and it was very sick.⁶⁰⁵
12:16 David¹⁷³² therefore besought¹²⁴⁵ God⁴³⁰ for the child;⁵²⁸⁸ and David¹⁷³² fasted,^66846685 and went in,⁹³⁵ and lay⁷⁹⁰¹ all night³⁸⁸⁵ upon the earth.⁷⁷⁶
12:17 And the elders²²⁰⁵ of his house¹⁰⁰⁴ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went to him, to raise him up⁶⁹⁶⁵ from the earth:⁷⁷⁶ but he would¹⁴ not, neither did he eat¹²⁶² bread³⁸⁹⁹ with them.
12:18^C And it came to pass on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day,³¹¹⁷ that the child³²⁰⁶ died.⁴¹⁹¹ And the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of David¹⁷³² feared³³⁷² to tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ him that the child³²⁰⁶ was dead:⁴¹⁹¹ for they said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, while the child³²⁰⁶ was yet alive,²⁴¹⁶ we spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto him, and he would not hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto our voice:⁶⁹⁶³ how will he then⁶²¹³ ➔ vex⁷⁴⁵¹ himself,⁶²¹³ if we tell⁵⁵⁹ him that the child³²⁰⁶ is dead?⁴¹⁹¹
12:19 But when David¹⁷³² saw⁷²⁰⁰ that his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ whispered,³⁹⁰⁷ David¹⁷³² perceived⁹⁹⁵ that the child³²⁰⁶ was dead:⁴¹⁹¹ therefore David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ Is the child³²⁰⁶ dead?⁴¹⁹¹ And they said,⁵⁵⁹ He is dead.⁴¹⁹¹
12:20 Then David¹⁷³² arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ from the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and washed,⁷³⁶⁴ and anointed⁵⁴⁸⁰ himself, and changed²⁴⁹⁸ his apparel,⁸⁰⁷¹ and came⁹³⁵ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and worshipped:⁷⁸¹² then he came⁹³⁵ to his own house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and when he required,⁷⁵⁹² they set⁷⁷⁶⁰ bread³⁸⁹⁹ before him, and he did eat.³⁹⁸
12:21 Then said⁵⁵⁹ his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ unto him, What thing¹⁶⁹⁷ is this that thou hast done?⁶²¹³ thou didst fast⁶⁶⁸⁴ and weep¹⁰⁵⁸ for the child,³²⁰⁶ while it was alive;²⁴¹⁶ but when the child³²⁰⁶ was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ thou didst rise⁶⁹⁶⁵ and eat³⁹⁸ bread.³⁸⁹⁹
12:22 And he said,⁵⁵⁹ While the child³²⁰⁶ was yet alive,²⁴¹⁶ I fasted⁶⁶⁸⁴ and wept:¹⁰⁵⁸ for I said,⁵⁵⁹ Who can tell³⁰⁴⁵ whether GOD³⁰⁶⁸ will be gracious^26032603 to me, that the child³²⁰⁶ may live?²⁴¹⁶
12:23 But now he is dead,⁴¹⁹¹ wherefore should I fast?⁶⁶⁸⁴ can³²⁰¹ I bring him back again?⁷⁷²⁵ I shall go¹⁹⁸⁰ to him, but he shall not return⁷⁷²⁵ to me.
12:24^C And David¹⁷³² comforted⁵¹⁶² Bathsheba¹³³⁹ his wife,⁸⁰² and went in⁹³⁵ unto her, and lay⁷⁹⁰¹ with her: and she bare³²⁰⁵ a son,¹¹²¹ and he called⁷¹²¹ his name⁸⁰³⁴ Solomon:⁸⁰¹⁰ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ loved¹⁵⁷ him.
12:25^C And he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ the prophet;⁵⁰³⁰ and he called⁷¹²¹ his name⁸⁰³⁴ Jedidiah,³⁰⁴¹ because of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸
12:26 And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Rabbah⁷²³⁷ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and took³⁹²⁰ the royal⁴⁴¹⁰ city.⁵⁸⁹²
12:27 And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ to David,¹⁷³² and said,⁵⁵⁹ I have fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Rabbah,⁷²³⁷ and have taken³⁹²⁰ the city⁵⁸⁹² of waters.⁴³²⁵
12:28 Now therefore gather⁶²² ➔ the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ together,⁶²² and encamp²⁵⁸³ against the city,⁵⁸⁹² and take³⁹²⁰ it: lest I take³⁹²⁰ the city,⁵⁸⁹² and it be called⁷¹²¹ after my name.⁸⁰³⁴
12:29 And David¹⁷³² gathered⁶²² ➔ all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ together,⁶²² and went³²¹² to Rabbah,⁷²³⁷ and fought³⁸⁹⁸ against it, and took³⁹²⁰ it.
12:30 And he took³⁹⁴⁷ their king's⁴⁴²⁸ crown⁵⁸⁵⁰ from off his head,⁷²¹⁸ the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ whereof was a talent³⁶⁰³ of gold²⁰⁹¹ with the precious³³⁶⁸ stones:⁶⁸ and it was set on David's¹⁷³² head.⁷²¹⁸ And he brought forth³³¹⁸ the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ of the city⁵⁸⁹² in great³⁹⁶⁶ abundance.⁷²³⁵
12:31^C And he brought forth³³¹⁸ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were therein, and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ them under saws,⁴⁰⁵⁰ and under harrows²⁷⁵⁷ of iron,¹²⁷⁰ and under axes⁴⁰³⁷ of iron,¹²⁷⁰ and made them pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ through the brickkiln:⁴⁴⁰⁴ and thus did⁶²¹³ he unto all the cities⁵⁸⁹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon.⁵⁹⁸³ So David¹⁷³² and all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹
