2 Samuel - Chapter: 19


19:1	And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
19:2	And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son.
19:3	And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
19:4	But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!
19:5	And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;
19:6	In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
19:7	Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now.
19:8	Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
19:9	And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.
19:10	And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?
19:11	And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, even to his house.
19:12	Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?
19:13	And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
19:14	And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word unto the king, Return thou, and all thy servants.
19:15	So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan.
19:16	And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
19:17	And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went over Jordan before the king.
19:18	And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was come over Jordan;
19:19	And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
19:20	For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
19:21	But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD'S anointed?
19:22	And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?
19:23	Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him.
19:24	And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace.
19:25	And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?
19:26	And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.
19:27	And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.
19:28	For all of my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?
19:29	And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
19:30	And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house.
19:31	And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.
19:32	Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
19:33	And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.
19:34	And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?
19:35	I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
19:36	Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?
19:37	Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.
19:38	And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
19:39	And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.
19:40	Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.
19:41	And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over Jordan?
19:42	And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's cost? or hath he given us any gift?
19:43	And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.


19:1	(19:2) ויגד ליואב הנה המלך בכה ויתאבל על אבשׁלם׃
19:2	(19:3) ותהי התשׁעה ביום ההוא לאבל לכל העם כי שׁמע העם ביום ההוא לאמר נעצב המלך על בנו׃
19:3	(19:4) ויתגנב העם ביום ההוא לבוא העיר כאשׁר יתגנב העם הנכלמים בנוסם במלחמה׃
19:4	(19:5) והמלך לאט את פניו ויזעק המלך קול גדול בני אבשׁלום אבשׁלום בני בני׃
19:5	(19:6) ויבא יואב אל המלך הבית ויאמר הבשׁת היום את פני כל עבדיך הממלטים את נפשׁך היום ואת נפשׁ בניך ובנתיך ונפשׁ נשׁיך ונפשׁ פלגשׁיך׃
19:6	(19:7) לאהבה את שׂנאיך ולשׂנא את אהביך כי הגדת היום כי אין לך שׂרים ועבדים כי ידעתי היום כי לא אבשׁלום חי וכלנו היום מתים כי אז ישׁר בעיניך׃
19:7	(19:8) ועתה קום צא ודבר על לב עבדיך כי ביהוה נשׁבעתי כי אינך יוצא אם ילין אישׁ אתך הלילה ורעה לך זאת מכל הרעה אשׁר באה עליך מנעריך עד עתה׃
19:8	(19:9) ויקם המלך וישׁב בשׁער ולכל העם הגידו לאמר הנה המלך יושׁב בשׁער ויבא כל העם לפני המלך וישׂראל נס אישׁ לאהליו׃
19:9	(19:10) ויהי כל העם נדון בכל שׁבטי ישׂראל לאמר המלך הצילנו מכף איבינו והוא מלטנו מכף פלשׁתים ועתה ברח מן הארץ מעל אבשׁלום׃
19:10	(19:11) ואבשׁלום אשׁר משׁחנו עלינו מת במלחמה ועתה למה אתם מחרשׁים להשׁיב את המלך׃
19:11	(19:12) והמלך דוד שׁלח אל צדוק ואל אביתר הכהנים לאמר דברו אל זקני יהודה לאמר למה תהיו אחרנים להשׁיב את המלך אל ביתו ודבר כל ישׂראל בא אל המלך אל ביתו׃
19:12	(19:13) אחי אתם עצמי ובשׂרי אתם ולמה תהיו אחרנים להשׁיב את המלך׃
19:13	(19:14) ולעמשׂא תמרו הלוא עצמי ובשׂרי אתה כה יעשׂה לי אלהים וכה יוסיף אם לא שׂר צבא תהיה לפני כל הימים תחת יואב׃
19:14	(19:15) ויט את לבב כל אישׁ יהודה כאישׁ אחד וישׁלחו אל המלך שׁוב אתה וכל עבדיך׃
19:15	(19:16) וישׁב המלך ויבא עד הירדן ויהודה בא הגלגלה ללכת לקראת המלך להעביר את המלך את הירדן׃
19:16	(19:17) וימהר שׁמעי בן גרא בן הימיני אשׁר מבחורים וירד עם אישׁ יהודה לקראת המלך דוד׃
19:17	(19:18) ואלף אישׁ עמו מבנימן וציבא נער בית שׁאול וחמשׁת עשׂר בניו ועשׂרים עבדיו אתו וצלחו הירדן לפני המלך׃
19:18	(19:19) ועברה העברה לעביר את בית המלך ולעשׂות הטוב בעינו ושׁמעי בן גרא נפל לפני המלך בעברו בירדן׃
19:19	(19:20) ויאמר אל המלך אל יחשׁב לי אדני עון ואל תזכר את אשׁר העוה עבדך ביום אשׁר יצא אדני המלך מירושׁלם לשׂום המלך אל לבו׃
19:20	(19:21) כי ידע עבדך כי אני חטאתי והנה באתי היום ראשׁון לכל בית יוסף לרדת לקראת אדני המלך׃
19:21	(19:22) ויען אבישׁי בן צרויה ויאמר התחת זאת לא יומת שׁמעי כי קלל את משׁיח יהוה׃
19:22	(19:23) ויאמר דוד מה לי ולכם בני צרויה כי תהיו לי היום לשׂטן היום יומת אישׁ בישׂראל כי הלוא ידעתי כי היום אני מלך על ישׂראל׃
19:23	(19:24) ויאמר המלך אל שׁמעי לא תמות וישׁבע לו המלך׃
19:24	(19:25) ומפבשׁת בן שׁאול ירד לקראת המלך ולא עשׂה רגליו ולא עשׂה שׂפמו ואת בגדיו לא כבס למן היום לכת המלך עד היום אשׁר בא בשׁלום׃
19:25	(19:26) ויהי כי בא ירושׁלם לקראת המלך ויאמר לו המלך למה לא הלכת עמי מפיבשׁת׃
19:26	(19:27) ויאמר אדני המלך עבדי רמני כי אמר עבדך אחבשׁה לי החמור וארכב עליה ואלך את המלך כי פסח עבדך׃
19:27	(19:28) וירגל בעבדך אל אדני המלך ואדני המלך כמלאך האלהים ועשׂה הטוב בעיניך׃
19:28	(19:29) כי לא היה כל בית אבי כי אם אנשׁי מות לאדני המלך ותשׁת את עבדך באכלי שׁלחנך ומה ישׁ לי עוד צדקה ולזעק עוד אל המלך׃
19:29	(19:30) ויאמר לו המלך למה תדבר עוד דבריך אמרתי אתה וציבא תחלקו את השׂדה׃
19:30	(19:31) ויאמר מפיבשׁת אל המלך גם את הכל יקח אחרי אשׁר בא אדני המלך בשׁלום אל ביתו׃
19:31	(19:32) וברזלי הגלעדי ירד מרגלים ויעבר את המלך הירדן לשׁלחו את בירדן׃
19:32	(19:33) וברזלי זקן מאד בן שׁמנים שׁנה והוא כלכל את המלך בשׁיבתו במחנים כי אישׁ גדול הוא מאד׃
19:33	(19:34) ויאמר המלך אל ברזלי אתה עבר אתי וכלכלתי אתך עמדי בירושׁלם׃
19:34	(19:35) ויאמר ברזלי אל המלך כמה ימי שׁני חיי כי אעלה את המלך ירושׁלם׃
19:35	(19:36) בן שׁמנים שׁנה אנכי היום האדע בין טוב לרע אם יטעם עבדך את אשׁר אכל ואת אשׁר אשׁתה אם אשׁמע עוד בקול שׁרים ושׁרות ולמה יהיה עבדך עוד למשׂא אל אדני המלך׃
19:36	(19:37) כמעט יעבר עבדך את הירדן את המלך ולמה יגמלני המלך הגמולה הזאת׃
19:37	(19:38) ישׁב נא עבדך ואמת בעירי עם קבר אבי ואמי והנה עבדך כמהם יעבר עם אדני המלך ועשׂה לו את אשׁר טוב בעיניך׃
19:38	(19:39) ויאמר המלך אתי יעבר כמהם ואני אעשׂה לו את הטוב בעיניך וכל אשׁר תבחר עלי אעשׂה׃
19:39	(19:40) ויעבר כל העם את הירדן והמלך עבר וישׁק המלך לברזלי ויברכהו וישׁב למקמו׃
19:40	(19:41) ויעבר המלך הגלגלה וכמהן עבר עמו וכל עם יהודה ויעברו את המלך וגם חצי עם ישׂראל׃
19:41	(19:42) והנה כל אישׁ ישׂראל באים אל המלך ויאמרו אל המלך מדוע גנבוך אחינו אישׁ יהודה ויעברו את המלך ואת ביתו את הירדן וכל אנשׁי דוד עמו׃
19:42	(19:43) ויען כל אישׁ יהודה על אישׁ ישׂראל כי קרוב המלך אלי ולמה זה חרה לך על הדבר הזה האכול אכלנו מן המלך אם נשׂאת נשׂא׃
19:43	(19:44) ויען אישׁ ישׂראל את אישׁ יהודה ויאמר עשׂר ידות לי במלך וגם בדוד אני ממך ומדוע הקלתני ולא היה דברי ראשׁון לי להשׁיב את מלכי ויקשׁ דבר אישׁ יהודה מדבר אישׁ ישׂראל׃


19:1	And it is declared to Joab, `Lo, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom;'
19:2	and the salvation on that day becometh mourning to all the people, for the people hath heard on that day, saying, `The king hath been grieved for his son.'
19:3	And the people stealeth away, on that day, to go in to the city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their fleeing in battle;
19:4	and the king hath covered his face, yea, the king crieth -- a loud voice -- `My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son.'
19:5	And Joab cometh in unto the king to the house, and saith, `Thou hast put to shame to-day the faces of all thy servants, those delivering thy life to-day, and the life of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the life of thy wives, and the life of thy concubines,
19:6	to love thine enemies, and to hate those loving thee, for thou hast declared to-day that thou hast no princes and servants, for I have known to-day that if Absalom `were' alive, and all of us to-day dead, that then it were right in thine eyes.
19:7	`And now, rise, go out and speak unto the heart of thy servants, for by Jehovah I have sworn, that -- thou art not going out -- there doth not lodge a man with thee to-night; and this `is' worse for thee than all the evil that hath come upon thee from thy youth till now.'
19:8	And the king riseth, and sitteth in the gate, and to all the people they have declared, saying, `Lo, the king is sitting in the gate;' and all the people come in before the king, and Israel hath fled, each to his tents.
19:9	And it cometh to pass, all the people are contending through all the tribes of Israel, saying, `The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, yea, he himself delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he hath fled out of the land because of Absalom,
19:10	and Absalom whom we anointed over us `is' dead in battle, and now, why are ye silent -- to bring back the king?'
19:11	And king David sent unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, saying, `Speak ye unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye last to bring back the king unto his house? (and the word of all Israel hath come unto the king, unto his house;)
19:12	my brethren ye `are', my bone and my flesh ye `are', and why are ye last to bring back the king?
19:13	And to Amasa say ye, Art not thou my bone and my flesh? Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add, if thou art not head of the host before me all the days instead of Joab.'
19:14	And he inclineth the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they send unto the king, `Turn back, thou, and all thy servants.'
19:15	And the king turneth back, and cometh in unto the Jordan, and Judah hath come to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan,
19:16	and Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who `is' from Bahurim, hasteth, and cometh down with the men of Judah, to meet king David,
19:17	and a thousand men `are' with him from Benjamin, and Ziba servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, and they have gone prosperously over the Jordan before the king.
19:18	And passed over hath the ferry-boat to carry over the household of the king, and to do that which `is' good in his eyes, and Shimei son of Gera hath fallen before the king in his passing over into Jordan,
19:19	and saith unto the king, `Let not my lord impute to me iniquity; neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely in the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem, -- for the king to set `it' unto his heart;
19:20	for thy servant hath known that I have sinned; and lo, I have come to-day, first of all the house of Joseph, to go down to meet my lord the king.'
19:21	And Abishai son of Zeruiah answereth and saith, `For this is not Shimei put to death -- because he reviled the anointed of Jehovah?'
19:22	And David saith, `What -- to me and to you, O sons of Zeruiah, that ye are to me to-day for an adversary? to-day is any man put to death in Israel? for have I not known that to-day I `am' king over Israel?'
19:23	And the king saith unto Shimei, `Thou dost not die;' and the king sweareth to him.
19:24	And Mephibosheth son of Saul hath come down to meet the king -- and he prepared not his feet, nor did he prepare his upper lip, yea, his garments he washed not, even from the day of the going away of the king, till the day that he came in peace --
19:25	and it cometh to pass, when he hath come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king saith to him, `Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?'
19:26	And he saith, `My lord, O king, my servant deceived me, for thy servant said, I saddle for me the ass, and ride on it, and go with the king, for thy servant `is' lame;
19:27	and he uttereth slander against thy servant unto my lord the king, and my lord the king `is' as a messenger of God; and do thou that which is good in thine eyes,
19:28	for all the house of my father have been nothing except men of death before my lord the king, and thou dost set thy servant among those eating at thy table, and what right have I any more -- even to cry any more unto the king?'
19:29	And the king saith to him, `Why dost thou speak any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba -- share ye the field.'
19:30	And Mephibosheth saith unto the king, `Yea, the whole let him take, after that my lord the king hath come in peace unto his house.'
19:31	And Barzillai the Gileadite hath gone down from Rogelim, and passeth over the Jordan with the king, to send him away over the Jordan;
19:32	and Barzillai `is' very aged, a son of eighty years, and he hath sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he `is' a very great man;
19:33	and the king saith unto Barzillai, `Pass thou over with me, and I have sustained thee with me in Jerusalem.'
19:34	And Barzillai saith unto the king, `How many `are' the days of the years of my life, that I go up with the king to Jerusalem?
19:35	A son of eighty years I `am' to-day; do I know between good and evil? doth thy servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? do I hearken any more to the voice of singers and songstresses? and why is thy servant any more for a burden unto my lord the king?
19:36	As a little thing, thy servant doth pass over the Jordan with the king, and why doth the king recompense me this recompense?
19:37	Let, I pray thee, thy servant turn back again, and I die in mine own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother, -- and lo, thy servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do thou to him that which `is' good in thine eyes.'
19:38	And the king saith, `With me doth Chimham go over, and I do to him that which `is' good in thine eyes, yea, all that thou dost fix on me I do to thee.'
19:39	And all the people pass over the Jordan, and the king hath passed over, and the king giveth a kiss to Barzillai, and blesseth him, and he turneth back to his place.
19:40	And the king passeth over to Gilgal, and Chimham hath passed over with him, and all the people of Judah, and they bring over the king, and also the half of the people of Israel.
19:41	And, lo, all the men of Israel are coming unto the king, and they say unto the king, `Wherefore have they stolen thee -- our brethren, the men of Judah?' (and they bring the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him).
19:42	And all the men of Judah answer against the men of Israel, `Because the king `is' near unto us, and why `is' this -- ye are displeased about this matter? have we at all eaten of the king's `substance?' a gift hath he lifted up to us?'
19:43	And the men of Israel answer the men of Judah, and say, `Ten parts we have in the king, and also in David more than you; and wherefore have ye lightly esteemed us, that our word hath not been first to bring back our king?' And the word of the men of Judah is sharper than the word of the men of Israel.
