Verses 301–400 of 1977 (page 4 of 20)
וַיָּבֹא הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד וַיֵּשֶׁב לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר מִי אָֽנֹכִי אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וּמִי בֵיתִי כִּי הֲבִֽאֹתַנִי עַד-הֲלֹֽם׃
Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
וַיַּךְ דָּוִד אֶת-הֲדַדְעֶזֶר בֶּן-רְחֹב מֶלֶךְ צוֹבָה בְּלֶכְתּוֹ לְהָשִׁיב יָדוֹ בִּֽנְהַר-פְּרָֽת׃
David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
וַתָּבֹא אֲרַם דַּמֶּשֶׂק לַעְזֹר לַֽהֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶלֶךְ צוֹבָה וַיַּךְ דָּוִד בַּֽאֲרָם עֶשְׂרִֽים-וּשְׁנַיִם אֶלֶף אִֽישׁ׃
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
וּמִבֶּטַח וּמִבֵּֽרֹתַי עָרֵי הֲדַדְעָזֶר לָקַח הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד נְחֹשֶׁת הַרְבֵּה מְאֹֽד׃
And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
וַיִּשְׁמַע תֹּעִי מֶלֶךְ חֲמָת כִּי הִכָּה דָוִד אֵת כָּל-חֵיל הֲדַדְעָֽזֶר׃
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
וַיִּשְׁלַח תֹּעִי אֶת-יֽוֹרָם-בְּנוֹ אֶל-הַמֶּֽלֶךְ-דָּוִד לִשְׁאָל-לוֹ לְשָׁלוֹם וּֽלְבָרֲכוֹ עַל אֲשֶׁר נִלְחַם בַּֽהֲדַדְעֶזֶר וַיַּכֵּהוּ כִּי-אִישׁ מִלְחֲמוֹת תֹּעִי הָיָה הֲדַדְעָזֶר וּבְיָדוֹ הָיוּ כְּלֵי-כֶסֶף וּכְלֵֽי-זָהָב וּכְלֵי נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃
Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
גַּם-אֹתָם הִקְדִּישׁ הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד לַֽיהוָה עִם-הַכֶּסֶף וְהַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר הִקְדִּישׁ מִכָּל-הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר כִּבֵּֽשׁ׃
Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
מֵֽאֲרָם וּמִמּוֹאָב וּמִבְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וּמִפְּלִשְׁתִּים וּמֵֽעֲמָלֵק וּמִשְּׁלַל הֲדַדְעֶזֶר בֶּן-רְחֹב מֶלֶךְ צוֹבָֽה׃
Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
וּלְבֵית שָׁאוּל עֶבֶד וּשְׁמוֹ צִיבָא וַיִּקְרְאוּ-לוֹ אֶל-דָּוִד וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵלָיו הַֽאַתָּה צִיבָא וַיֹּאמֶר עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃
And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ הַאֶפֶס עוֹד אִישׁ לְבֵית שָׁאוּל וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה עִמּוֹ חֶסֶד אֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאמֶר צִיבָא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ עוֹד בֵּן לִיהֽוֹנָתָן נְכֵה רַגְלָֽיִם׃
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
וַיֹּֽאמֶר-לוֹ הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵיפֹה הוּא וַיֹּאמֶר צִיבָא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ הִנֵּה-הוּא בֵּית מָכִיר בֶּן-עַמִּיאֵל בְּלוֹ דְבָֽר׃
And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.
וַיִּשְׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד וַיִּקָּחֵהוּ מִבֵּית מָכִיר בֶּן-עַמִּיאֵל מִלּוֹ דְבָֽר׃
Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
וַיִּקְרָא הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-צִיבָא נַעַר שָׁאוּל וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו כֹּל אֲשֶׁר הָיָה לְשָׁאוּל וּלְכָל-בֵּיתוֹ נָתַתִּי לְבֶן-אֲדֹנֶֽיךָ׃
Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
וַיֹּאמֶר צִיבָא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֶּה אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-עַבְדּוֹ כֵּן יַֽעֲשֶׂה עַבְדֶּךָ וּמְפִיבֹשֶׁת אֹכֵל עַל-שֻׁלְחָנִי כְּאַחַד מִבְּנֵי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.
וּמְפִיבֹשֶׁת יֹשֵׁב בִּירוּשָׁלִַם כִּי עַל-שֻׁלְחַן הַמֶּלֶךְ תָּמִיד הוּא אֹכֵל וְהוּא פִּסֵּחַ שְׁתֵּי רַגְלָֽיו׃
So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
וַֽיְהִי אַֽחֲרֵי-כֵן וַיָּמָת מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וַיִּמְלֹךְ חָנוּן בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
וַיַּגִּדוּ לְדָוִד וַיִּשְׁלַח לִקְרָאתָם כִּֽי-הָיוּ הָֽאֲנָשִׁים נִכְלָמִים מְאֹד וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁבוּ בִֽירֵחוֹ עַד-יְצַמַּח זְקַנְכֶם וְשַׁבְתֶּֽם׃
When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
וַיִּרְאוּ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן כִּי נִבְאֲשׁוּ בְּדָוִד וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ בְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וַיִּשְׂכְּרוּ אֶת-אֲרַם בֵּית-רְחוֹב וְאֶת-אֲרַם צוֹבָא עֶשְׂרִים אֶלֶף רַגְלִי וְאֶת-מֶלֶךְ מַֽעֲכָה אֶלֶף אִישׁ וְאִישׁ טוֹב שְׁנֵים-עָשָׂר אֶלֶף אִֽישׁ׃
And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish-tob twelve thousand men.
וַיִּרְאוּ כָֽל-הַמְּלָכִים עַבְדֵי הֲדַדְעֶזֶר כִּי נִגְּפוּ לִפְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּשְׁלִמוּ אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּֽעַבְדוּם וַיִּֽרְאוּ אֲרָם לְהוֹשִׁיעַ עוֹד אֶת-בְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃
And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
וַיְהִי לִתְשׁוּבַת הַשָּׁנָה לְעֵת׀ צֵאת הַמַּלְאֿכִים וַיִּשְׁלַח דָּוִד אֶת-יוֹאָב וְאֶת-עֲבָדָיו עִמּוֹ וְאֶת-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּשְׁחִתוּ אֶת-בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וַיָּצֻרוּ עַל-רַבָּה וְדָוִד יוֹשֵׁב בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
וַיְהִי׀ לְעֵת הָעֶרֶב וַיָּקָם דָּוִד מֵעַל מִשְׁכָּבוֹ וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ עַל-גַּג בֵּית-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיַּרְא אִשָּׁה רֹחֶצֶת מֵעַל הַגָּג וְהָאִשָּׁה טוֹבַת מַרְאֶה מְאֹֽד׃
And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד לְאוּרִיָּה רֵד לְבֵֽיתְךָ וּרְחַץ רַגְלֶיךָ וַיֵּצֵא אֽוּרִיָּה מִבֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וַתֵּצֵא אַֽחֲרָיו מַשְׂאַת הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
וַיִּשְׁכַּב אֽוּרִיָּה פֶּתַח בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵת כָּל-עַבְדֵי אֲדֹנָיו וְלֹא יָרַד אֶל-בֵּיתֽוֹ׃
But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
וַיְצַו אֶת-הַמַּלְאָךְ לֵאמֹר כְּכַלּֽוֹתְךָ אֵת כָּל-דִּבְרֵי הַמִּלְחָמָה לְדַבֵּר אֶל-הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,
וְהָיָה אִֽם-תַּעֲלֶה חֲמַת הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאָמַר לְךָ מַדּוּעַ נִגַּשְׁתֶּם אֶל-הָעִיר לְהִלָּחֵם הֲלוֹא יְדַעְתֶּם אֵת אֲשֶׁר-יֹרוּ מֵעַל הַֽחוֹמָֽה׃
And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
(ויראו) וַיֹּרוּ (המוראים) הַמּוֹרִים אֶל-עֲבָדֶיךָ מֵעַל הַֽחוֹמָה וַיָּמוּתוּ מֵֽעַבְדֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְגַם עַבְדְּךָ אֽוּרִיָּה הַֽחִתִּי מֵֽת׃
the shooters And shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
וַיֹּאמֶר נָתָן אֶל-דָּוִד אַתָּה הָאִישׁ כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָֽנֹכִי מְשַׁחְתִּיךָֽ לְמֶלֶךְ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָֽנֹכִי הִצַּלְתִּיךָ מִיַּד שָׁאֽוּל׃
And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
וַיִּקַּח אֶת-עֲטֶֽרֶת-מַלְכָּם מֵעַל רֹאשׁוֹ וּמִשְׁקָלָהּ כִּכַּר זָהָב וְאֶבֶן יְקָרָה וַתְּהִי עַל-רֹאשׁ דָּוִד וּשְׁלַל הָעִיר הוֹצִיא הַרְבֵּה מְאֹֽד׃
And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ מַדּוּעַ אַתָּה כָּכָה דַּל בֶּן-הַמֶּלֶךְ בַּבֹּקֶר בַּבֹּקֶר הֲלוֹא תַּגִּיד לִי וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ אַמְנוֹן אֶת-תָּמָר אֲחוֹת אַבְשָׁלֹם אָחִי אֲנִי אֹהֵֽב׃
And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
וַיִּשְׁכַּב אַמְנוֹן וַיִּתְחָל וַיָּבֹא הַמֶּלֶךְ לִרְאוֹתוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אַמְנוֹן אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ תָּֽבוֹא-נָא תָּמָר אֲחֹתִי וּתְלַבֵּב לְעֵינַי שְׁתֵּי לְבִבוֹת וְאֶבְרֶה מִיָּדָֽהּ׃
So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.
וַֽאֲנִי אָנָה אוֹלִיךְ אֶת-חֶרְפָּתִי וְאַתָּה תִּֽהְיֶה כְּאַחַד הַנְּבָלִים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַתָּה דַּבֶּר-נָא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי לֹא יִמְנָעֵנִי מִמֶּֽךָּ׃
And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
וְעָלֶיהָ כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים כִּי כֵן תִּלְבַּשְׁןָ בְנוֹת-הַמֶּלֶךְ הַבְּתוּלֹת מְעִילִים וַיֹּצֵא אוֹתָהּ מְשָֽׁרְתוֹ הַחוּץ וְנָעַל הַדֶּלֶת אַֽחֲרֶֽיהָ׃
And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
וְהַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד שָׁמַע אֵת כָּל-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיִּחַר לוֹ מְאֹֽד׃
But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
וַֽיְהִי לִשְׁנָתַיִם יָמִים וַיִּֽהְיוּ גֹֽזְזִים לְאַבְשָׁלוֹם בְּבַעַל חָצוֹר אֲשֶׁר עִם-אֶפְרָיִם וַיִּקְרָא אַבְשָׁלוֹם לְכָל-בְּנֵי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
וַיָּבֹא אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה-נָא גֹֽזְזִים לְעַבְדֶּךָ יֵֽלֶךְ-נָא הַמֶּלֶךְ וַֽעֲבָדָיו עִם-עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃
And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-אַבְשָׁלוֹם אַל-בְּנִי אַל-נָא נֵלֵךְ כֻּלָּנוּ וְלֹא נִכְבַּד עָלֶיךָ וַיִּפְרָץ-בּוֹ וְלֹֽא-אָבָה לָלֶכֶת וַֽיְבָרֲכֵֽהוּ׃
And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.
וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְשָׁלוֹם וָלֹא יֵֽלֶךְ-נָא אִתָּנוּ אַמְנוֹן אָחִי וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הַמֶּלֶךְ לָמָּה יֵלֵךְ עִמָּֽךְ׃
Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee?
וַיִּפְרָץ-בּוֹ אַבְשָׁלוֹם וַיִּשְׁלַח אִתּוֹ אֶת-אַמְנוֹן וְאֵת כָּל-בְּנֵי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ נַֽעֲרֵי אַבְשָׁלוֹם לְאַמְנוֹן כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אַבְשָׁלוֹם וַיָּקֻמוּ׀ כָּל-בְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וַֽיִּרְכְּבוּ אִישׁ עַל-פִּרְדּוֹ וַיָּנֻֽסוּ׃
And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.
וַֽיְהִי הֵמָּה בַדֶּרֶךְ וְהַשְּׁמֻעָה בָאָה אֶל-דָּוִד לֵאמֹר הִכָּה אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֶת-כָּל-בְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְלֹֽא-נוֹתַר מֵהֶם אֶחָֽד׃
And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
וַיָּקָם הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיִּקְרַע אֶת-בְּגָדָיו וַיִּשְׁכַּב אָרְצָה וְכָל-עֲבָדָיו נִצָּבִים קְרֻעֵי בְגָדִֽים׃
Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
וַיַּעַן יֽוֹנָדָב׀ בֶּן-שִׁמְעָה אֲחִֽי-דָוִד וַיֹּאמֶר אַל-יֹאמַר אֲדֹנִי אֵת כָּל-הַנְּעָרִים בְּנֵֽי-הַמֶּלֶךְ הֵמִיתוּ כִּֽי-אַמְנוֹן לְבַדּוֹ מֵת כִּֽי-עַל-פִּי אַבְשָׁלוֹם הָֽיְתָה שׂוּמָה מִיּוֹם עַנֹּתוֹ אֵת תָּמָר אֲחֹתֽוֹ׃
And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
וְעַתָּה אַל-יָשֵׂם אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-לִבּוֹ דָּבָר לֵאמֹר כָּל-בְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ מֵתוּ כִּֽי-אִם-אַמְנוֹן לְבַדּוֹ מֵֽת׃
Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.
וַיֹּאמֶר יֽוֹנָדָב אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ הִנֵּה בְנֵֽי-הַמֶּלֶךְ בָּאוּ כִּדְבַר עַבְדְּךָ כֵּן הָיָֽה׃
And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
וַיְהִי׀ כְּכַלֹּתוֹ לְדַבֵּר וְהִנֵּה בְנֵֽי-הַמֶּלֶךְ בָּאוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ קוֹלָם וַיִּבְכּוּ וְגַם-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכָל-עֲבָדָיו בָּכוּ בְּכִי גָּדוֹל מְאֹֽד׃
And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.
וְאַבְשָׁלוֹם בָּרַח וַיֵּלֶךְ אֶל-תַּלְמַי בֶּן-(עמיחור) עַמִּיהוּד מֶלֶךְ גְּשׁוּר וַיִּתְאַבֵּל עַל-בְּנוֹ כָּל-הַיָּמִֽים׃
But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
וַתְּכַל דָּוִד הַמֶּלֶךְ לָצֵאת אֶל-אַבְשָׁלוֹם כִּֽי-נִחַם עַל-אַמְנוֹן כִּי-מֵֽת׃
And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
וַיֵּדַע יוֹאָב בֶּן-צְרֻיָה כִּי-לֵב הַמֶּלֶךְ עַל-אַבְשָׁלֽוֹם׃
Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom.
וּבָאת אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְדִבַּרְתְּ אֵלָיו כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַיָּשֶׂם יוֹאָב אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים בְּפִֽיהָ׃
And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.
וַתֹּאמֶר הָֽאִשָּׁה הַתְּקֹעִית אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַתִּפֹּל עַל-אַפֶּיהָ אַרְצָה וַתִּשְׁתָּחוּ וַתֹּאמֶר הוֹשִׁעָה הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.
וַיֹּֽאמֶר-לָהּ הַמֶּלֶךְ מַה-לָּךְ וַתֹּאמֶר אֲבָל אִשָּֽׁה-אַלְמָנָה אָנִי וַיָּמָת אִישִֽׁי׃
And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-הָֽאִשָּׁה לְכִי לְבֵיתֵךְ וַֽאֲנִי אֲצַוֶּה עָלָֽיִךְ׃
And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
וַתֹּאמֶר הָֽאִשָּׁה הַתְּקוֹעִית אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ עָלַי אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ הֶעָוֹן וְעַל-בֵּית אָבִי וְהַמֶּלֶךְ וְכִסְאוֹ נָקִֽי׃
And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ הַֽמְדַבֵּר אֵלַיִךְ וַֽהֲבֵאתוֹ אֵלַי וְלֹֽא-יֹסִיף עוֹד לָגַעַת בָּֽךְ׃
And the king said, Whosoever saith ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
וַתֹּאמֶר יִזְכָּר-נָא הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ (מהרבית) מֵהַרְבַּת גֹּאֵל הַדָּם לְשַׁחֵת וְלֹא יַשְׁמִידוּ אֶת-בְּנִי וַיֹּאמֶר חַי-יְהוָה אִם-יִפֹּל מִשַּֽׂעֲרַת בְּנֵךְ אָֽרְצָה׃
Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
וַתֹּאמֶר הָֽאִשָּׁה תְּדַבֶּר-נָא שִׁפְחָֽתְךָ אֶל-אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּבָר וַיֹּאמֶר דַּבֵּֽרִי׃
Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
וַתֹּאמֶר הָֽאִשָּׁה וְלָמָּה חָשַׁבְתָּה כָּזֹאת עַל-עַם אֱלֹהִים וּמִדַּבֵּר הַמֶּלֶךְ הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה כְּאָשֵׁם לְבִלְתִּי הָשִׁיב הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶֽת-נִדְּחֽוֹ׃
And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished.
וְעַתָּה אֲשֶׁר-בָּאתִי לְדַבֵּר אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲדֹנִי אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה כִּי יֵֽרְאֻנִי הָעָם וַתֹּאמֶר שִׁפְחָֽתְךָ אֲדַבְּרָה-נָּא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ אוּלַי יַֽעֲשֶׂה הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-דְּבַר אֲמָתֽוֹ׃
Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
כִּי יִשְׁמַע הַמֶּלֶךְ לְהַצִּיל אֶת-אֲמָתוֹ מִכַּף הָאִישׁ לְהַשְׁמִיד אֹתִי וְאֶת-בְּנִי יַחַד מִֽנַּחֲלַת אֱלֹהִֽים׃
For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
וַתֹּאמֶר שִׁפְחָתְךָ יִֽהְיֶה-נָּא דְּבַר-אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ לִמְנֻחָה כִּי׀ כְּמַלְאַךְ הָֽאֱלֹהִים כֵּן אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ לִשְׁמֹעַ הַטּוֹב וְהָרָע וַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ יְהִי עִמָּֽךְ׃
Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee.
וַיַּעַן הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל-הָאִשָּׁה אַל-נָא תְכַֽחֲדִי מִמֶּנִּי דָּבָר אֲשֶׁר אָֽנֹכִי שֹׁאֵל אֹתָךְ וַתֹּאמֶר הָֽאִשָּׁה יְדַבֶּר-נָא אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ הֲיַד יוֹאָב אִתָּךְ בְּכָל-זֹאת וַתַּעַן הָֽאִשָּׁה וַתֹּאמֶר חֵֽי-נַפְשְׁךָ אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ אִם-אִשׁ׀ לְהֵמִין וּלְהַשְׂמִיל מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר-דִּבֶּר אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּֽי-עַבְדְּךָ יוֹאָב הוּא צִוָּנִי וְהוּא שָׂם בְּפִי שִׁפְחָֽתְךָ אֵת כָּל-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃
And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid:
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-יוֹאָב הִנֵּה-נָא עָשִׂיתִי אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וְלֵךְ הָשֵׁב אֶת-הַנַּעַר אֶת-אַבְשָׁלֽוֹם׃
And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.
וַיִּפֹּל יוֹאָב אֶל-פָּנָיו אַרְצָה וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ וַיְבָרֶךְ אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר יוֹאָב הַיּוֹם יָדַע עַבְדְּךָ כִּֽי-מָצָאתִי חֵן בְּעֵינֶיךָ אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-דְּבַר (עבדו) עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃
And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ יִסֹּב אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וּפָנַי לֹא יִרְאֶה וַיִּסֹּב אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וּפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ לֹא רָאָֽה׃
And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face.
וּֽבְגַלְּחוֹ אֶת-רֹאשׁוֹ וְֽהָיָה מִקֵּץ יָמִים׀ לַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר יְגַלֵּחַ כִּֽי-כָבֵד עָלָיו וְגִלְּחוֹ וְשָׁקַל אֶת-שְׂעַר רֹאשׁוֹ מָאתַיִם שְׁקָלִים בְּאֶבֶן הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight.
וַיֵּשֶׁב אַבְשָׁלוֹם בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם שְׁנָתַיִם יָמִים וּפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ לֹא רָאָֽה׃
So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.
וַיִּשְׁלַח אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֶל-יוֹאָב לִשְׁלֹחַ אֹתוֹ אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְלֹא אָבָה לָבוֹא אֵלָיו וַיִּשְׁלַח עוֹד שֵׁנִית וְלֹא אָבָה לָבֽוֹא׃
Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֶל-יוֹאָב הִנֵּה שָׁלַחְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ׀ לֵאמֹר בֹּא הֵנָּה וְאֶשְׁלְחָה אֹֽתְךָ אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ לֵאמֹר לָמָּה בָּאתִי מִגְּשׁוּר טוֹב לִי עֹד אֲנִי-שָׁם וְעַתָּה אֶרְאֶה פְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאִם-יֶשׁ-בִּי עָוֹן וֶֽהֱמִתָֽנִי׃
And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me.
וַיָּבֹא יוֹאָב אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיַּגֶּד-לוֹ וַיִּקְרָא אֶל-אַבְשָׁלוֹם וַיָּבֹא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ לוֹ עַל-אַפָּיו אַרְצָה לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיִּשַּׁק הַמֶּלֶךְ לְאַבְשָׁלֽוֹם׃
So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
וְהִשְׁכִּים אַבְשָׁלוֹם וְעָמַד עַל-יַד דֶּרֶךְ הַשָּׁעַר וַיְהִי כָּל-הָאִישׁ אֲשֶֽׁר-יִֽהְיֶה-לּוֹ-רִיב לָבוֹא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ לַמִּשְׁפָּט וַיִּקְרָא אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֵלָיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֵֽי-מִזֶּה עִיר אַתָּה וַיֹּאמֶר מֵֽאַחַד שִׁבְטֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃
And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אַבְשָׁלוֹם רְאֵה דְבָרֶיךָ טוֹבִים וּנְכֹחִים וְשֹׁמֵעַ אֵין-לְךָ מֵאֵת הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
וַיַּעַשׂ אַבְשָׁלוֹם כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה לְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר-יָבֹאוּ לַמִּשְׁפָּט אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיְגַנֵּב אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֶת-לֵב אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵלֲכָה נָּא וַֽאֲשַׁלֵּם אֶת-נִדְרִי אֲשֶׁר-נָדַרְתִּי לַֽיהוָה בְּחֶבְרֽוֹן׃
And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron.
וַיֹּֽאמֶר-לוֹ הַמֶּלֶךְ לֵךְ בְּשָׁלוֹם וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלֶךְ חֶבְרֽוֹנָה׃
And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ עַבְדֵֽי-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר-יִבְחַר אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ הִנֵּה עֲבָדֶֽיךָ׃
And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
וַיֵּצֵא הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכָל-בֵּיתוֹ בְּרַגְלָיו וַיַּֽעֲזֹב הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵת עֶשֶׂר נָשִׁים פִּֽלַגְשִׁים לִשְׁמֹר הַבָּֽיִת׃
And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
וַיֵּצֵא הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכָל-הָעָם בְּרַגְלָיו וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ בֵּית הַמֶּרְחָֽק׃
And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
וְכָל-עֲבָדָיו עֹֽבְרִים עַל-יָדוֹ וְכָל-הַכְּרֵתִי וְכָל-הַפְּלֵתִי וְכָֽל-הַגִּתִּים שֵׁשׁ-מֵאוֹת אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-בָּאוּ בְרַגְלוֹ מִגַּת עֹֽבְרִים עַל-פְּנֵי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-אִתַּי הַגִּתִּי לָמָּה תֵלֵךְ גַּם-אַתָּה אִתָּנוּ שׁוּב וְשֵׁב עִם-הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּֽי-נָכְרִי אַתָּה וְגַם-גֹּלֶה אַתָּה לִמְקוֹמֶֽךָ׃
Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
וַיַּעַן אִתַּי אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמַר חַי-יְהוָה וְחֵי אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי אִם בִּמְקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִֽהְיֶה-שָּׁם׀ אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ אִם-לְמָוֶת אִם-לְחַיִּים כִּי-שָׁם יִֽהְיֶה עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃
And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.
וְכָל-הָאָרֶץ בּוֹכִים קוֹל גָּדוֹל וְכָל-הָעָם עֹֽבְרִים וְהַמֶּלֶךְ עֹבֵר בְּנַחַל קִדְרוֹן וְכָל-הָעָם עֹֽבְרִים עַל-פְּנֵי-דֶרֶךְ אֶת-הַמִּדְבָּֽר׃
And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ לְצָדוֹק הָשֵׁב אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים הָעִיר אִם-אֶמְצָא חֵן בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וֶֽהֱשִׁבַנִי וְהִרְאַנִי אֹתוֹ וְאֶת-נָוֵֽהוּ׃
And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-צָדוֹק הַכֹּהֵן הֲרוֹאֶה אַתָּה שֻׁבָה הָעִיר בְּשָׁלוֹם וַֽאֲחִימַעַץ בִּנְךָ וִיהֽוֹנָתָן בֶּן-אֶבְיָתָר שְׁנֵי בְנֵיכֶם אִתְּכֶֽם׃
The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
וְאִם-הָעִיר תָּשׁוּב וְאָֽמַרְתָּ לְאַבְשָׁלוֹם עַבְדְּךָ אֲנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶֽהְיֶה עֶבֶד אָבִיךָ וַֽאֲנִי מֵאָז וְעַתָּה וַֽאֲנִי עַבְדֶּךָ וְהֵֽפַרְתָּה לִי אֵת עֲצַת אֲחִיתֹֽפֶל׃
But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
וַֽהֲלוֹא עִמְּךָ שָׁם צָדוֹק וְאֶבְיָתָר הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהָיָה כָּל-הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁמַע מִבֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ תַּגִּיד לְצָדוֹק וּלְאֶבְיָתָר הַכֹּֽהֲנִֽים׃
And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-צִיבָא מָה-אֵלֶּה לָּךְ וַיֹּאמֶר צִיבָא הַֽחֲמוֹרִים לְבֵית-הַמֶּלֶךְ לִרְכֹּב (ולהלחם) וְהַלֶּחֶם וְהַקַּיִץ לֶֽאֱכוֹל הַנְּעָרִים וְהַיַּיִן לִשְׁתּוֹת הַיָּעֵף בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאַיֵּה בֶּן-אֲדֹנֶיךָ וַיֹּאמֶר צִיבָא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ הִנֵּה יוֹשֵׁב בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם כִּי אָמַר הַיּוֹם יָשִׁיבוּ לִי בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵת מַמְלְכוּת אָבִֽי׃
And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ לְצִבָא הִנֵּה לְךָ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר לִמְפִי-בֹשֶׁת וַיֹּאמֶר צִיבָא הִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֵיתִי אֶמְצָא-חֵן בְּעֵינֶיךָ אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
וּבָא הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד עַד-בַּֽחוּרִים וְהִנֵּה מִשָּׁם אִישׁ יוֹצֵא מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת בֵּית-שָׁאוּל וּשְׁמוֹ שִׁמְעִי בֶן-גֵּרָא יֹצֵא יָצוֹא וּמְקַלֵּֽל׃
And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
וַיְסַקֵּל בָּֽאֲבָנִים אֶת-דָּוִד וְאֶת-כָּל-עַבְדֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד וְכָל-הָעָם וְכָל-הַגִּבֹּרִים מִֽימִינוֹ וּמִשְּׂמֹאלֽוֹ׃
And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲבִישַׁי בֶּן-צְרוּיָה אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ לָמָּה יְקַלֵּל הַכֶּלֶב הַמֵּת הַזֶּה אֶת-אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶעְבְּרָה-נָּא וְאָסִירָה אֶת-רֹאשֽׁוֹ׃
Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ מַה-לִּי וְלָכֶם בְּנֵי צְרֻיָה (כי) כֹּה יְקַלֵּל (וכי) כִּי יְהוָה אָמַר לוֹ קַלֵּל אֶת-דָּוִד וּמִי יֹאמַר מַדּוּעַ עָשִׂיתָה כֵּֽן׃
And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
וַיָּבֹא הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכָל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר-אִתּוֹ עֲיֵפִים וַיִּנָּפֵשׁ שָֽׁם׃
And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר-בָּא חוּשַׁי הָֽאַרְכִּי רֵעֶה דָוִד אֶל-אַבְשָׁלוֹם וַיֹּאמֶר חוּשַׁי אֶל-אַבְשָׁלוֹם יְחִי הַמֶּלֶךְ יְחִי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
וְאָבוֹא עָלָיו וְהוּא יָגֵעַ וּרְפֵה יָדַיִם וְהַֽחֲרַדְתִּי אֹתוֹ וְנָס כָּל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר-אִתּוֹ וְהִכֵּיתִי אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ לְבַדּֽוֹ׃
And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
וְעַתָּה שִׁלְחוּ מְהֵרָה וְהַגִּידוּ לְדָוִד לֵאמֹר אַל-תָּלֶן הַלַּיְלָה בְּעַֽרְבוֹת הַמִּדְבָּר וְגַם עָבוֹר תַּֽעֲבוֹר פֶּן יְבֻלַּע לַמֶּלֶךְ וּלְכָל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר אִתּֽוֹ׃
Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
וִיהֽוֹנָתָן וַֽאֲחִימַעַץ עֹֽמְדִים בְּעֵין-רֹגֵל וְהָֽלְכָה הַשִּׁפְחָה וְהִגִּידָה לָהֶם וְהֵם יֵֽלְכוּ וְהִגִּידוּ לַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד כִּי לֹא יֽוּכְלוּ לְהֵֽרָאוֹת לָבוֹא הָעִֽירָה׃
Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David.
וַיְהִי׀ אַֽחֲרֵי לֶכְתָּם וַֽיַּעֲלוּ מֵֽהַבְּאֵר וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיַּגִּדוּ לַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֶל-דָּוִד קוּמוּ וְעִבְרוּ מְהֵרָה אֶת-הַמַּיִם כִּי-כָכָה יָעַץ עֲלֵיכֶם אֲחִיתֹֽפֶל׃
And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.
וַיְשַׁלַּח דָּוִד אֶת-הָעָם הַשְּׁלִשִׁית בְּיַד-יוֹאָב וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁית בְּיַד אֲבִישַׁי בֶּן-צְרוּיָה אֲחִי יוֹאָב וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁת בְּיַד אִתַּי הַגִּתִּי וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-הָעָם יָצֹא אֵצֵא גַּם-אֲנִי עִמָּכֶֽם׃
And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.
