Verses 401–500 of 1712 (page 5 of 18)
וַיִּקָּחֵהוּ שָׁאוּל בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וְלֹא נְתָנוֹ לָשׁוּב בֵּית אָבִֽיו׃
And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
וַיְהִי מִֽמָּחֳרָת וַתִּצְלַח רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים׀ רָעָה׀ אֶל-שָׁאוּל וַיִּתְנַבֵּא בְתוֹךְ-הַבַּיִת וְדָוִד מְנַגֵּן בְּיָדוֹ כְּיוֹם׀ בְּיוֹם וְהַֽחֲנִית בְּיַד-שָׁאֽוּל׃
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.
וַתְּהִי רוּחַ יְהוָה׀ רָעָה אֶל-שָׁאוּל וְהוּא בְּבֵיתוֹ יוֹשֵׁב וַֽחֲנִיתוֹ בְּיָדוֹ וְדָוִד מְנַגֵּן בְּיָֽד׃
And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.
וַיִּשְׁלַח שָׁאוּל מַלְאָכִים אֶל-בֵּית דָּוִד לְשָׁמְרוֹ וְלַֽהֲמִיתוֹ בַּבֹּקֶר וַתַּגֵּד לְדָוִד מִיכַל אִשְׁתּוֹ לֵאמֹר אִם-אֵינְךָ מְמַלֵּט אֶֽת-נַפְשְׁךָ הַלַּיְלָה מָחָר אַתָּה מוּמָֽת׃
Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.
וְלֹֽא-תַכְרִית אֶֽת-חַסְדְּךָ מֵעִם בֵּיתִי עַד-עוֹלָם וְלֹא בְּהַכְרִת יְהוָה אֶת-אֹֽיְבֵי דָוִד אִישׁ מֵעַל פְּנֵי הָֽאֲדָמָֽה׃
But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
וַיִּכְרֹת יְהֽוֹנָתָן עִם-בֵּית דָּוִד וּבִקֵּשׁ יְהוָה מִיַּד אֹֽיְבֵי דָוִֽד׃
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.
חֲסַר מְשֻׁגָּעִים אָנִי כִּֽי-הֲבֵאתֶם אֶת-זֶה לְהִשְׁתַּגֵּעַ עָלָי הֲזֶה יָבוֹא אֶל-בֵּיתִֽי׃
Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד מִשָּׁם וַיִּמָּלֵט אֶל-מְעָרַת עֲדֻלָּם וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ אֶחָיו וְכָל-בֵּית אָבִיו וַיֵּֽרְדוּ אֵלָיו שָֽׁמָּה׃
David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.
וַיִּשְׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ לִקְרֹא אֶת-אֲחִימֶלֶךְ בֶּן-אֲחִיטוּב הַכֹּהֵן וְאֵת כָּל-בֵּית אָבִיו הַכֹּֽהֲנִים אֲשֶׁר בְּנֹב וַיָּבֹאוּ כֻלָּם אֶל-הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
וַיַּעַן אֲחִימֶלֶךְ אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמַר וּמִי בְכָל-עֲבָדֶיךָ כְּדָוִד נֶֽאֱמָן וַֽחֲתַן הַמֶּלֶךְ וְסָר אֶל-מִשְׁמַעְתֶּךָ וְנִכְבָּד בְּבֵיתֶֽךָ׃
Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king's son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?
הַיּוֹם הַחִלֹּתִי (לשאול) לִשְׁאָל-לוֹ בֵֽאלֹהִים חָלִילָה לִּי אַל-יָשֵׂם הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּעַבְדּוֹ דָבָר בְּכָל-בֵּית אָבִי כִּי לֹֽא-יָדַע עַבְדְּךָ בְּכָל-זֹאת דָּבָר קָטֹן אוֹ גָדֽוֹל׃
Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ מוֹת תָּמוּת אֲחִימֶלֶךְ אַתָּה וְכָל-בֵּית אָבִֽיךָ׃
And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד לְאֶבְיָתָר יָדַעְתִּי בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא כִּֽי-שָׁם (דויג) דּוֹאֵג הָֽאֲדֹמִי כִּֽי-הַגֵּד יַגִּיד לְשָׁאוּל אָֽנֹכִי סַבֹּתִי בְּכָל-נֶפֶשׁ בֵּית אָבִֽיךָ׃
And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.
וַיִּכְרְתוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם בְּרִית לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיֵּשֶׁב דָּוִד בַּחֹרְשָׁה וִיהֽוֹנָתָן הָלַךְ לְבֵיתֽוֹ׃
And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
וְעַתָּה הִשָּׁבְעָה לִּי בַּֽיהוָה אִם-תַּכְרִית אֶת-זַרְעִי אַֽחֲרָי וְאִם-תַּשְׁמִיד אֶת-שְׁמִי מִבֵּית אָבִֽי׃
Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.
וַיִּשָּׁבַע דָּוִד לְשָׁאוּל וַיֵּלֶךְ שָׁאוּל אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וְדָוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו עָלוּ עַל-הַמְּצוּדָֽה׃
And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold.
וַיָּמָת שְׁמוּאֵל וַיִּקָּֽבְצוּ כָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּסְפְּדוּ-לוֹ וַיִּקְבְּרֻהוּ בְּבֵיתוֹ בָּֽרָמָה וַיָּקָם דָּוִד וַיֵּרֶד אֶל-מִדְבַּר פָּארָֽן׃
And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
וַֽאֲמַרְתֶּם כֹּה לֶחָי וְאַתָּה שָׁלוֹם וּבֵֽיתְךָ שָׁלוֹם וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר-לְךָ שָׁלֽוֹם׃
And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.
וְעַתָּה דְּעִי וּרְאִי מַֽה-תַּעֲשִׂי כִּֽי-כָלְתָה הָֽרָעָה אֶל-אֲדֹנֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל-בֵּיתוֹ וְהוּא בֶּן-בְּלִיַּעַל מִדַּבֵּר אֵלָֽיו׃
Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.
שָׂא נָא לְפֶשַׁע אֲמָתֶךָ כִּי עָשֹֽׂה-יַעֲשֶׂה יְהוָה לַֽאדֹנִי בַּיִת נֶֽאֱמָן כִּֽי-מִלְחֲמוֹת יְהוָה אֲדֹנִי נִלְחָם וְרָעָה לֹֽא-תִמָּצֵא בְךָ מִיָּמֶֽיךָ׃
I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.
וַיִּקַּח דָּוִד מִיָּדָהּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר-הֵבִיאָה לוֹ וְלָהּ אָמַר עֲלִי לְשָׁלוֹם לְבֵיתֵךְ רְאִי שָׁמַעְתִּי בְקוֹלֵךְ וָֽאֶשָּׂא פָּנָֽיִךְ׃
So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
וַתָּבֹא אֲבִיגַיִל׀ אֶל-נָבָל וְהִנֵּה-לוֹ מִשְׁתֶּה בְּבֵיתוֹ כְּמִשְׁתֵּה הַמֶּלֶךְ וְלֵב נָבָל טוֹב עָלָיו וְהוּא שִׁכֹּר עַד-מְאֹד וְלֹֽא-הִגִּידָה לּוֹ דָּבָר קָטֹן וְגָדוֹל עַד-אוֹר הַבֹּֽקֶר׃
And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
וַיֵּשֶׁב דָּוִד עִם-אָכִישׁ בְּגַת הוּא וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו אִישׁ וּבֵיתוֹ דָּוִד וּשְׁתֵּי נָשָׁיו אֲחִינֹעַם הַיִּזְרְעֵאלִת וַֽאֲבִיגַיִל אֵֽשֶׁת-נָבָל הַֽכַּרְמְלִֽית׃
And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
וְלָֽאִשָּׁה עֵֽגֶל-מַרְבֵּק בַּבַּיִת וַתְּמַהֵר וַתִּזְבָּחֵהוּ וַתִּקַּח-קֶמַח וַתָּלָשׁ וַתֹּפֵהוּ מַצּֽוֹת׃
And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:
וַֽיִּכְרְתוּ אֶת-רֹאשׁוֹ וַיַּפְשִׁטוּ אֶת-כֵּלָיו וַיְשַׁלְּחוּ בְאֶֽרֶץ-פְּלִשְׁתִּים סָבִיב לְבַשֵּׂר בֵּית עֲצַבֵּיהֶם וְאֶת-הָעָֽם׃
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
וַיָּשִׂימוּ אֶת-כֵּלָיו בֵּית עַשְׁתָּרוֹת וְאֶת-גְּוִיָּתוֹ תָּֽקְעוּ בְּחוֹמַת בֵּית שָֽׁן׃
And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
וַֽיִּסְפְּדוּ וַיִּבְכּוּ וַיָּצֻמוּ עַד-הָעָרֶב עַל-שָׁאוּל וְעַל-יְהֽוֹנָתָן בְּנוֹ וְעַל-עַם יְהוָה וְעַל-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי נָֽפְלוּ בֶּחָֽרֶב׃
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו אֲשֶׁר-עִמּוֹ הֶֽעֱלָה דָוִד אִישׁ וּבֵיתוֹ וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ בְּעָרֵי חֶבְרֽוֹן׃
And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אַנְשֵׁי יְהוּדָה וַיִּמְשְׁחוּ-שָׁם אֶת-דָּוִד לְמֶלֶךְ עַל-בֵּית יְהוּדָה וַיַּגִּדוּ לְדָוִד לֵאמֹר אַנְשֵׁי יָבֵישׁ גִּלְעָד אֲשֶׁר קָֽבְרוּ אֶת-שָׁאֽוּל׃
And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul.
וְעַתָּה׀ תֶּֽחֱזַקְנָה יְדֵיכֶם וִֽהְיוּ לִבְנֵי-חַיִל כִּי-מֵת אֲדֹֽנֵיכֶם שָׁאוּל וְגַם-אֹתִי מָֽשְׁחוּ בֵית-יְהוּדָה לְמֶלֶךְ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
בֶּן-אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה אִֽישׁ-בֹּשֶׁת בֶּן-שָׁאוּל בְּמָלְכוֹ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וּשְׁתַּיִם שָׁנִים מָלָךְ אַךְ בֵּית יְהוּדָה הָיוּ אַֽחֲרֵי דָוִֽד׃
Ish-bosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
וַֽיְהִי מִסְפַּר הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר הָיָה דָוִד מֶלֶךְ בְּחֶבְרוֹן עַל-בֵּית יְהוּדָה שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים וְשִׁשָּׁה חֳדָשִֽׁים׃
And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
וַתְּהִי הַמִּלְחָמָה אֲרֻכָּה בֵּין בֵּית שָׁאוּל וּבֵין בֵּית דָּוִד וְדָוִד הֹלֵךְ וְחָזֵק וּבֵית שָׁאוּל הֹֽלְכִים וְדַלִּֽים׃
Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
וַיְהִי בִּֽהְיוֹת הַמִּלְחָמָה בֵּין בֵּית שָׁאוּל וּבֵין בֵּית דָּוִד וְאַבְנֵר הָיָה מִתְחַזֵּק בְּבֵית שָׁאֽוּל׃
And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.
וַיִּחַר לְאַבְנֵר מְאֹד עַל-דִּבְרֵי אִֽישׁ-בֹּשֶׁת וַיֹּאמֶר הֲרֹאשׁ כֶּלֶב אָנֹכִי אֲשֶׁר לִֽיהוּדָה הַיּוֹם אֶֽעֱשֶׂה-חֶסֶד עִם-בֵּית׀ שָׁאוּל אָבִיךָ אֶל-אֶחָיו וְאֶל-מֵרֵעֵהוּ וְלֹא הִמְצִיתִךָ בְּיַד-דָּוִד וַתִּפְקֹד עָלַי עֲוֹן הָֽאִשָּׁה הַיּֽוֹם׃
Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head, which against Judah do shew kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman?
לְהַֽעֲבִיר הַמַּמְלָכָה מִבֵּית שָׁאוּל וּלְהָקִים אֶת-כִּסֵּא דָוִד עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַל-יְהוּדָה מִדָּן וְעַד-בְּאֵר שָֽׁבַע׃
To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba.
וַיְדַבֵּר גַּם-אַבְנֵר בְּאָזְנֵי בִנְיָמִין וַיֵּלֶךְ גַּם-אַבְנֵר לְדַבֵּר בְּאָזְנֵי דָוִד בְּחֶבְרוֹן אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-טוֹב בְּעֵינֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבְעֵינֵי כָּל-בֵּית בִּנְיָמִֽן׃
And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.
יָחֻלוּ עַל-רֹאשׁ יוֹאָב וְאֶל כָּל-בֵּית אָבִיו וְֽאַל-יִכָּרֵת מִבֵּית יוֹאָב זָב וּמְצֹרָע וּמַֽחֲזִיק בַּפֶּלֶךְ וְנֹפֵל בַּחֶרֶב וַֽחֲסַר-לָֽחֶם׃
Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.
וַיֵּלְכוּ בְּנֵֽי-רִמּוֹן הַבְּאֵֽרֹתִי רֵכָב וּבַֽעֲנָה וַיָּבֹאוּ כְּחֹם הַיּוֹם אֶל-בֵּית אִישׁ בֹּשֶׁת וְהוּא שֹׁכֵב אֵת מִשְׁכַּב הַֽצָּהֳרָֽיִם׃
And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
וְהֵנָּה בָּאוּ עַד-תּוֹךְ הַבַּיִת לֹֽקְחֵי חִטִּים וַיַּכֻּהוּ אֶל-הַחֹמֶשׁ וְרֵכָב וּבַֽעֲנָה אָחִיו נִמְלָֽטוּ׃
And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
וַיָּבֹאוּ הַבַּיִת וְהֽוּא-שֹׁכֵב עַל-מִטָּתוֹ בַּֽחֲדַר מִשְׁכָּבוֹ וַיַּכֻּהוּ וַיְמִתֻהוּ וַיָּסִירוּ אֶת-רֹאשׁוֹ וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת-רֹאשׁוֹ וַיֵּֽלְכוּ דֶּרֶךְ הָֽעֲרָבָה כָּל-הַלָּֽיְלָה׃
For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.
אַף כִּֽי-אֲנָשִׁים רְשָׁעִים הָֽרְגוּ אֶת-אִישׁ-צַדִּיק בְּבֵיתוֹ עַל-מִשְׁכָּבוֹ וְעַתָּה הֲלוֹא אֲבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-דָּמוֹ מִיֶּדְכֶם וּבִֽעַרְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא כָּל-מַכֵּה יְבֻסִי וְיִגַּע בַּצִּנּוֹר וְאֶת-הַפִּסְחִים וְאֶת-הַעִוְרִים (שנאו) שְׂנֻאֵי נֶפֶשׁ דָּוִד עַל-כֵּן יֹֽאמְרוּ עִוֵּר וּפִסֵּחַ לֹא יָבוֹא אֶל-הַבָּֽיִת׃
And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
וַיֵּשֶׁב דָּוִד בַּמְּצֻדָה וַיִּקְרָא-לָהּ עִיר דָּוִד וַיִּבֶן דָּוִד סָבִיב מִן-הַמִּלּוֹא וָבָֽיְתָה׃
So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
וַיִּשְׁלַח חִירָם מֶֽלֶךְ-צֹר מַלְאָכִים אֶל-דָּוִד וַֽעֲצֵי אֲרָזִים וְחָֽרָשֵׁי עֵץ וְחָֽרָשֵׁי אֶבֶן קִיר וַיִּבְנוּ-בַיִת לְדָוִֽד׃
And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.
וַיַּרְכִּבוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶל-עֲגָלָה חֲדָשָׁה וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ מִבֵּית אֲבִֽינָדָב אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּבְעָה וְעֻזָּא וְאַחְיוֹ בְּנֵי אֲבִינָדָב נֹֽהֲגִים אֶת-הָֽעֲגָלָה חֲדָשָֽׁה׃
And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ מִבֵּית אֲבִֽינָדָב אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּבְעָה עִם אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְאַחְיוֹ הֹלֵךְ לִפְנֵי הָֽאָרֽוֹן׃
And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
וְדָוִד׀ וְכָל-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל מְשַֽׂחֲקִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בְּכֹל עֲצֵי בְרוֹשִׁים וּבְכִנֹּרוֹת וּבִנְבָלִים וּבְתֻפִּים וּבִמְנַֽעַנְעִים וּֽבְצֶלְצֶלִֽים׃
And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
וְלֹֽא-אָבָה דָוִד לְהָסִיר אֵלָיו אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָה עַל-עִיר דָּוִד וַיַּטֵּהוּ דָוִד בֵּית עֹבֵֽד-אֱדֹם הַגִּתִּֽי׃
So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
וַיֵּשֶׁב אֲרוֹן יְהוָה בֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם הַגִּתִּי שְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים וַיְבָרֶךְ יְהוָה אֶת-עֹבֵד אֱדֹם וְאֶת-כָּל-בֵּיתֽוֹ׃
And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his household.
וַיֻּגַּד לַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד לֵאמֹר בֵּרַךְ יְהוָה אֶת-בֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם וְאֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ בַּֽעֲבוּר אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד וַיַּעַל אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים מִבֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם עִיר דָּוִד בְּשִׂמְחָֽה׃
And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.
וְדָוִד וְכָל-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל מַֽעֲלִים אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָה בִּתְרוּעָה וּבְקוֹל שׁוֹפָֽר׃
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
וַיְחַלֵּק לְכָל-הָעָם לְכָל-הֲמוֹן יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמֵאִישׁ וְעַד-אִשָּׁה לְאִישׁ חַלַּת לֶחֶם אַחַת וְאֶשְׁפָּר אֶחָד וַֽאֲשִׁישָׁה אֶחָת וַיֵּלֶךְ כָּל-הָעָם אִישׁ לְבֵיתֽוֹ׃
And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
וַיָּשָׁב דָּוִד לְבָרֵךְ אֶת-בֵּיתוֹ וַתֵּצֵא מִיכַל בַּת-שָׁאוּל לִקְרַאת דָּוִד וַתֹּאמֶר מַה-נִּכְבַּד הַיּוֹם מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר נִגְלָה הַיּוֹם לְעֵינֵי אַמְהוֹת עֲבָדָיו כְּהִגָּלוֹת נִגְלוֹת אַחַד הָרֵקִֽים׃
Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל-מִיכַל לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר בָּֽחַר-בִּי מֵֽאָבִיךְ וּמִכָּל-בֵּיתוֹ לְצַוֹּת אֹתִי נָגִיד עַל-עַם יְהוָה עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְשִֽׂחַקְתִּי לִפְנֵי יְהוָֽה׃
And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.
וַיְהִי כִּֽי-יָשַׁב הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּבֵיתוֹ וַֽיהוָה הֵנִיחַֽ-לוֹ מִסָּבִיב מִכָּל-אֹֽיְבָֽיו׃
And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-נָתָן הַנָּבִיא רְאֵה נָא אָֽנֹכִי יוֹשֵׁב בְּבֵית אֲרָזִים וַֽאֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים יֹשֵׁב בְּתוֹךְ הַיְרִיעָֽה׃
That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
לֵךְ וְאָֽמַרְתָּ אֶל-עַבְדִּי אֶל-דָּוִד כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הַֽאַתָּה תִּבְנֶה-לִּי בַיִת לְשִׁבְתִּֽי׃
Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
כִּי לֹא יָשַׁבְתִּי בְּבַיִת לְמִיּוֹם הַֽעֲלֹתִי אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרַיִם וְעַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וָאֶֽהְיֶה מִתְהַלֵּךְ בְּאֹהֶל וּבְמִשְׁכָּֽן׃
Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
בְּכֹל אֲשֶֽׁר-הִתְהַלַּכְתִּי בְּכָל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הֲדָבָר דִּבַּרְתִּי אֶת-אַחַד שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִי לִרְעוֹת אֶת-עַמִּי אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר לָמָּה לֹֽא-בְנִיתֶם לִי בֵּית אֲרָזִֽים׃
In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
וּלְמִן-הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִי שֹֽׁפְטִים עַל-עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽהֲנִיחֹתִי לְךָ מִכָּל-אֹֽיְבֶיךָ וְהִגִּיד לְךָ יְהוָה כִּי-בַיִת יַֽעֲשֶׂה-לְּךָ יְהוָֽה׃
And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
הוּא יִבְנֶה-בַּיִת לִשְׁמִי וְכֹֽנַנְתִּי אֶת-כִּסֵּא מַמְלַכְתּוֹ עַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
וְנֶאְמַן בֵּֽיתְךָ וּמַֽמְלַכְתְּךָ עַד-עוֹלָם לְפָנֶיךָ כִּֽסְאֲךָ יִֽהְיֶה נָכוֹן עַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
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?
וַתִּקְטַן עוֹד זֹאת בְּעֵינֶיךָ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וַתְּדַבֵּר גַּם אֶל-בֵּֽית-עַבְדְּךָ לְמֵֽרָחוֹק וְזֹאת תּוֹרַת הָֽאָדָם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֽה׃
And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?
וְעַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ עַֽל-עַבְדְּךָ וְעַל-בֵּיתוֹ הָקֵם עַד-עוֹלָם וַֽעֲשֵׂה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּֽרְתָּ׃
And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
וְיִגְדַּל שִׁמְךָ עַד-עוֹלָם לֵאמֹר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהִים עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבֵית עַבְדְּךָ דָוִד יִֽהְיֶה נָכוֹן לְפָנֶֽיךָ׃
And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
כִּֽי-אַתָּה יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל גָּלִיתָה אֶת-אֹזֶן עַבְדְּךָ לֵאמֹר בַּיִת אֶבְנֶה-לָּךְ עַל-כֵּן מָצָא עַבְדְּךָ אֶת-לִבּוֹ לְהִתְפַּלֵּל אֵלֶיךָ אֶת-הַתְּפִלָּה הַזֹּֽאת׃
For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
וְעַתָּה הוֹאֵל וּבָרֵךְ אֶת-בֵּית עַבְדְּךָ לִֽהְיוֹת לְעוֹלָם לְפָנֶיךָ כִּֽי-אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה דִּבַּרְתָּ וּמִבִּרְכָתְךָ יְבֹרַךְ בֵּֽית-עַבְדְּךָ לְעוֹלָֽם׃
Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד הֲכִי יֶשׁ-עוֹד אֲשֶׁר נוֹתַר לְבֵית שָׁאוּל וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה עִמּוֹ חֶסֶד בַּֽעֲבוּר יְהֽוֹנָתָֽן׃
And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
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.
וְלִמְפִיבֹשֶׁת בֵּן-קָטָן וּשְׁמוֹ מִיכָא וְכֹל מוֹשַׁב בֵּית-צִיבָא עֲבָדִים לִמְפִיבֹֽשֶׁת׃
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
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.
וַיִּשְׁלַח דָּוִד מַלְאָכִים וַיִּקָּחֶהָ וַתָּבוֹא אֵלָיו וַיִּשְׁכַּב עִמָּהּ וְהִיא מִתְקַדֶּשֶׁת מִטֻּמְאָתָהּ וַתָּשָׁב אֶל-בֵּיתָֽהּ׃
And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
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.
וַיַּגִּדוּ לְדָוִד לֵאמֹר לֹֽא-יָרַד אֽוּרִיָּה אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל-אֽוּרִיָּה הֲלוֹא מִדֶּרֶךְ אַתָּה בָא מַדּוּעַ לֹֽא-יָרַדְתָּ אֶל-בֵּיתֶֽךָ׃
And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?
וַיֹּאמֶר אֽוּרִיָּה אֶל-דָּוִד הָֽאָרוֹן וְיִשְׂרָאֵל וִֽיהוּדָה יֹֽשְׁבִים בַּסֻּכּוֹת וַֽאדֹנִי יוֹאָב וְעַבְדֵי אֲדֹנִי עַל-פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה חֹנִים וַֽאֲנִי אָבוֹא אֶל-בֵּיתִי לֶֽאֱכֹל וְלִשְׁתּוֹת וְלִשְׁכַּב עִם-אִשְׁתִּי חַיֶּךָ וְחֵי נַפְשֶׁךָ אִֽם-אֶעֱשֶׂה אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
וַיִּקְרָא-לוֹ דָוִד וַיֹּאכַל לְפָנָיו וַיֵּשְׁתְּ וַֽיְשַׁכְּרֵהוּ וַיֵּצֵא בָעֶרֶב לִשְׁכַּב בְּמִשְׁכָּבוֹ עִם-עַבְדֵי אֲדֹנָיו וְאֶל-בֵּיתוֹ לֹא יָרָֽד׃
And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
וַיַּֽעֲבֹר הָאֵבֶל וַיִּשְׁלַח דָּוִד וַיַּֽאַסְפָהּ אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וַתְּהִי-לוֹ לְאִשָּׁה וַתֵּלֶד לוֹ בֵּן וַיֵּרַע הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה דָוִד בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָֽה׃
And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
וָֽאֶתְּנָה לְךָ אֶת-בֵּית אֲדֹנֶיךָ וְאֶת-נְשֵׁי אֲדֹנֶיךָ בְּחֵיקֶךָ וָֽאֶתְּנָה לְךָ אֶת-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וִֽיהוּדָה וְאִם-מְעָט וְאֹסִפָה לְּךָ כָּהֵנָּה וְכָהֵֽנָּה׃
And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.
וְעַתָּה לֹֽא-תָסוּר חֶרֶב מִבֵּֽיתְךָ עַד-עוֹלָם עֵקֶב כִּי בְזִתָנִי וַתִּקַּח אֶת-אֵשֶׁת אֽוּרִיָּה הַֽחִתִּי לִֽהְיוֹת לְךָ לְאִשָּֽׁה׃
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
כֹּה׀ אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי מֵקִים עָלֶיךָ רָעָה מִבֵּיתֶךָ וְלָֽקַחְתִּי אֶת-נָשֶׁיךָ לְעֵינֶיךָ וְנָֽתַתִּי לְרֵעֶיךָ וְשָׁכַב עִם-נָשֶׁיךָ לְעֵינֵי הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ הַזֹּֽאת׃
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
וַיֵּלֶךְ נָתָן אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וַיִּגֹּף יְהוָה אֶת-הַיֶּלֶד אֲשֶׁר יָֽלְדָה אֵֽשֶׁת-אוּרִיָּה לְדָוִד וַיֵּֽאָנַֽשׁ׃
And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
וַיָּקֻמוּ זִקְנֵי בֵיתוֹ עָלָיו לַֽהֲקִימוֹ מִן-הָאָרֶץ וְלֹא אָבָה וְלֹֽא-בָרָא אִתָּם לָֽחֶם׃
And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
וַיָּקָם דָּוִד מֵֽהָאָרֶץ וַיִּרְחַץ וַיָּסֶךְ וַיְחַלֵּף (שמלתו) שִׂמְלֹתָיו וַיָּבֹא בֵית-יְהוָה וַיִּשְׁתָּחוּ וַיָּבֹא אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וַיִּשְׁאַל וַיָּשִׂימוּ לוֹ לֶחֶם וַיֹּאכַֽל׃
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
וַיִּשְׁלַח דָּוִד אֶל-תָּמָר הַבַּיְתָה לֵאמֹר לְכִי נָא בֵּית אַמְנוֹן אָחִיךְ וַֽעֲשִׂי-לוֹ הַבִּרְיָֽה׃
Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat.
וַתֵּלֶךְ תָּמָר בֵּית אַמְנוֹן אָחִיהָ וְהוּא שֹׁכֵב וַתִּקַּח אֶת-הַבָּצֵק (ותלוש) וַתָּלָשׁ וַתְּלַבֵּב לְעֵינָיו וַתְּבַשֵּׁל אֶת-הַלְּבִבֽוֹת׃
So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ אַבְשָׁלוֹם אָחִיהָ הַֽאֲמִינוֹן אָחִיךְ הָיָה עִמָּךְ וְעַתָּה אֲחוֹתִי הַֽחֲרִישִׁי אָחִיךְ הוּא אַל-תָּשִׁיתִי אֶת-לִבֵּךְ לַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַתֵּשֶׁב תָּמָר וְשֹׁמֵמָה בֵּית אַבְשָׁלוֹם אָחִֽיהָ׃
And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
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 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.
וַיָּקָם יוֹאָב וַיָּבֹא אֶל-אַבְשָׁלוֹם הַבָּיְתָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו לָמָּה הִצִּיתוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ אֶת-הַחֶלְקָה אֲשֶׁר-לִי בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?
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.
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.
