1 David counted the people who were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them. [2] |
|||
| 2 וַיְשַׁלַּ֨ח דָּוִ֜ד [4] Qadma Geresh אֶת־הָעָ֗ם [3] Revi'a בְּיַ֨ד אֲבִישַׁ֤י בֶּן־צְרוּיָה֙ [3] Qadma Mapakh Pashta אֲחִ֣י יוֹאָ֔ב [2] Munach Zaqef בְּיַ֖ד [2] Tip'cha אִתַּ֣י הַגִּתִּ֑י [1] Munach Etnachta ס אֶל־הָעָ֔ם [2] Zaqef גַּם־אֲנִ֖י [2] Tip'cha עִמָּכֶֽם׃ [1] Silluq |
2 David sent the people out, a third part 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. The king said to the people, “I will also surely go out with you myself.” ¶ [4] |
|||
| 3 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר הָעָ֜ם [4] Qadma Geresh לֹ֣א תֵצֵ֗א [3] Munach Revi'a לֹֽא־יָשִׂ֧ימוּ אֵלֵ֣ינוּ לֵ֗ב [3] Darga Munach Revi'a לֹֽא־יָשִׂ֤ימוּ אֵלֵ֙ינוּ֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta לֵ֔ב [2] Zaqef עֲשָׂרָ֣ה אֲלָפִ֑ים [1] Munach Etnachta כִּֽי־תִֽהְיֶה־לָּ֥נוּ מֵעִ֖יר [2] Merkha Tip'cha *לעזיר **לַעְזֽוֹר׃ [1] Silluq ס |
3 But the people said, “You shall not go out; for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us. But you are worth ten thousand of us. Therefore now it is better that you are ready to help us out of the city.” ¶ [4] |
|||
| 4 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ [2] Zaqef אֶעֱשֶׂ֑ה [1] Etnachta אֶל־יַ֣ד הַשַּׁ֔עַר [2] Munach Zaqef יָֽצְא֔וּ [2] Zaqef וְלַאֲלָפִֽים׃ [1] Silluq |
4 The king said to them, “I will do what seems best to you.” ¶The king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands. [3] |
|||
| 5 וַיְצַ֣ו הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ [4] Munach Pazer אֶת־י֠וֹאָ֠ב [4] TelishaG וְאֶת־אֲבִישַׁ֤י וְאֶת־אִתַּי֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta לֵאמֹ֔ר [2] Zaqef לַנַּ֣עַר לְאַבְשָׁל֑וֹם [1] Munach Etnachta בְּצַוֺּ֥ת הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ [3] Merkha Tevir אֶת־כׇּל־הַשָּׂרִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha עַל־דְּבַ֥ר אַבְשָׁלֽוֹם׃ [1] Merkha Silluq |
5 The king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom.” All the people heard when the king commanded all the captains concerning Absalom. ¶ [4] |
|||
| 6 וַיֵּצֵ֥א הָעָ֛ם [3] Merkha Tevir הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה [2] Tip'cha לִקְרַ֣את יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל [1] Munach Etnachta בְּיַ֥עַר אֶפְרָֽיִם׃ [1] Merkha Silluq |
6 So the people went out into the field against Israel; and the battle was in the forest of Ephraim. [3] |
|||
| 7 וַיִּנָּ֤גְפוּ שָׁם֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta עַ֣ם יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל [2] Munach Zaqef עַבְדֵ֣י דָוִ֑ד [1] Munach Etnachta הַמַּגֵּפָ֧ה גְדוֹלָ֛ה [3] Darga Tevir בַּיּ֥וֹם הַה֖וּא [2] Merkha Tip'cha עֶשְׂרִ֥ים אָֽלֶף׃ [1] Merkha Silluq |
7 The people of Israel were struck there before David’s servants, and there was a great slaughter there that day of twenty thousand men. [3] |
|||
| 8 וַתְּהִי־שָׁ֧ם הַמִּלְחָמָ֛ה [3] Darga Tevir *נפצות **נָפ֖וֹצֶת [2] Tip'cha עַל־פְּנֵ֣י כׇל־הָאָ֑רֶץ [1] Munach Etnachta לֶאֱכֹ֣ל בָּעָ֔ם [2] Munach Zaqef הַחֶ֖רֶב [2] Tip'cha בַּיּ֥וֹם הַהֽוּא׃ [1] Merkha Silluq |
8 For the battle was there spread over the surface of all the country, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured. [3] |
|||
| 9 וַיִּקָּרֵא֙ [3] Pashta אַבְשָׁל֔וֹם [2] Zaqef עַבְדֵ֣י דָוִ֑ד [1] Munach Etnachta רֹכֵ֣ב עַל־הַפֶּ֗רֶד [3] Munach Revi'a תַּ֣חַת שׂ֩וֹבֶךְ֩ הָאֵלָ֨ה הַגְּדוֹלָ֜ה [4] Munach TelishaQ Qadma Geresh וַיֶּחֱזַ֧ק רֹאשׁ֣וֹ בָאֵלָ֗ה [3] Darga Munach Revi'a בֵּ֤ין הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta וּבֵ֣ין הָאָ֔רֶץ [2] Munach Zaqef עָבָֽר׃ [1] Silluq |
9 Absalom happened to meet David’s servants. Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the sky and earth; and the mule that was under him went on. [3] |
|||
| 10 וַיַּרְא֙ [3] Pashta אִ֣ישׁ אֶחָ֔ד [2] Munach Zaqef לְיוֹאָ֑ב [1] Etnachta הִנֵּה֙ [3] Pashta רָאִ֣יתִי אֶת־אַבְשָׁלֹ֔ם [2] Munach Zaqef בָּאֵלָֽה׃ [1] Silluq |
10 A certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.” ¶ [3] |
|||
| 11 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יוֹאָ֗ב [3] Munach Revi'a לָאִישׁ֙ [3] Pashta הַמַּגִּ֣יד ל֔וֹ [2] Munach Zaqef לֹא־הִכִּית֥וֹ שָׁ֖ם [2] Merkha Tip'cha אָ֑רְצָה [1] Etnachta לָ֤תֶת לְךָ֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta עֲשָׂ֣רָה כֶ֔סֶף [2] Munach Zaqef אֶחָֽת׃ [1] Silluq |
11 Joab said to the man who told him, “Behold, you saw it, and why didn’t you strike him there to the ground? I would have given you ten pieces of silver, and a sash.” ¶ [3] |
|||
| 12 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הָאִישׁ֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta אֶל־יוֹאָ֔ב [2] Zaqef שֹׁקֵ֤ל עַל־כַּפַּי֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta אֶ֣לֶף כֶּ֔סֶף [2] Munach Zaqef אֶל־בֶּן־הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ [1] Etnachta צִוָּ֣ה הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ [3] Munach Revi'a וְאֶת־אֲבִישַׁ֤י וְאֶת־אִתַּי֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta לֵאמֹ֔ר [2] Zaqef בַּנַּ֖עַר [2] Tip'cha בְּאַבְשָׁלֽוֹם׃ [1] Silluq |
12 The man said to Joab, “Though I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I still wouldn’t stretch out my hand against the king’s son; for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘Beware that no one touch the young man Absalom.’ [3] |
|||
| 13 אֽוֹ־עָשִׂ֤יתִי *בנפשו **בְנַפְשִׁי֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta שֶׁ֔קֶר [2] Zaqef לֹא־יִכָּחֵ֣ד מִן־הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ [1] Munach Etnachta תִּתְיַצֵּ֥ב מִנֶּֽגֶד׃ [1] Merkha Silluq |
13 Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against his life (and there is no matter hidden from the king), then you yourself would have set yourself against me.” ¶ [3] |
|||
| 14 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יוֹאָ֔ב [2] Munach Zaqef לֹא־כֵ֖ן [2] Tip'cha אֹחִ֣ילָה לְפָנֶ֑יךָ [1] Munach Etnachta בְּכַפּ֗וֹ [3] Revi'a בְּלֵ֣ב אַבְשָׁל֔וֹם [2] Munach Zaqef בְּלֵ֥ב הָאֵלָֽה׃ [1] Merkha Silluq |
14 Then Joab said, “I’m not going to wait like this with you.” He took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the middle of the oak. [2] |
|||
| 15 וַיָּסֹ֙בּוּ֙ [3] Pashta עֲשָׂרָ֣ה נְעָרִ֔ים [2] Munach Zaqef כְּלֵ֣י יוֹאָ֑ב [1] Munach Etnachta וַיְמִתֻֽהוּ׃ [1] Silluq |
15 Ten young men who bore Joab’s armor surrounded and struck Absalom, and killed him. [3] |
|||
| 16 וַיִּתְקַ֤ע יוֹאָב֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta בַּשֹּׁפָ֔ר [2] Zaqef מִרְדֹ֖ף [2] Tip'cha אַחֲרֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל [1] Munach Etnachta אֶת־הָעָֽם׃ [1] Silluq |
16 Joab blew the shofar, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab held the people back. [3] |
|||
| 17 וַיִּקְח֣וּ אֶת־אַבְשָׁל֗וֹם [3] Munach Revi'a וַיַּשְׁלִ֨כוּ אֹת֤וֹ בַיַּ֙עַר֙ [3] Qadma Mapakh Pashta אֶל־הַפַּ֣חַת הַגָּד֔וֹל [2] Munach Zaqef גַּל־אֲבָנִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha גָּד֣וֹל מְאֹ֑ד [1] Munach Etnachta נָ֖סוּ [2] Tip'cha אִ֥ישׁ לְאֹהָלָֽו׃ [1] Merkha Silluq |
17 They took Absalom and cast him into a great pit in the forest, and raised over him a very great heap of stones. Then all Israel fled, each to his own tent. [3] |
|||
| 18 וְאַבְשָׁלֹ֣ם לָקַ֗ח [3] Munach Revi'a וַיַּצֶּב־ל֤וֹ בְחַיָּו֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta אֶת־מַצֶּ֙בֶת֙ [3] Pashta אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּעֵֽמֶק־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ [2] Munach Zaqef אֵֽין־לִ֣י בֵ֔ן [2] Munach Zaqef הַזְכִּ֣יר שְׁמִ֑י [1] Munach Etnachta עַל־שְׁמ֔וֹ [2] Zaqef יַ֣ד אַבְשָׁל֔וֹם [2] Munach Zaqef הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ [1] Merkha Silluq ס |
18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself the pillar which is in the king’s valley, for he said, “I have no son to keep my name in memory.” He called the pillar after his own name. It is called Absalom’s monument, to this day. ¶ [3] |
|||
| 19 וַאֲחִימַ֤עַץ בֶּן־צָדוֹק֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta אָמַ֔ר [2] Zaqef וַאֲבַשְּׂרָ֖ה [2] Tip'cha אֶת־הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ [1] Etnachta מִיַּ֥ד אֹיְבָֽיו׃ [1] Merkha Silluq |
19 Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, “Let me now run and carry the king news, how the LORD has avenged him of his enemies.” ¶ [3] |
|||
| 20 וַיֹּ֧אמֶר ל֣וֹ יוֹאָ֗ב [3] Darga Munach Revi'a לֹא֩ אִ֨ישׁ בְּשֹׂרָ֤ה אַתָּה֙ [3] TelishaQ Qadma Mapakh Pashta הַיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה [2] Munach Zaqef בְּי֣וֹם אַחֵ֑ר [1] Munach Etnachta לֹ֣א תְבַשֵּׂ֔ר [2] Munach Zaqef מֵֽת׃ [1] Silluq |
20 Joab said to him, “You must not be the bearer of news today, but you must carry news another day. But today you must carry no news, because the king’s son is dead.” ¶ [3] |
|||
| 21 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יוֹאָב֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta לַכּוּשִׁ֔י [2] Zaqef הַגֵּ֥ד לַמֶּ֖לֶךְ [2] Merkha Tip'cha אֲשֶׁ֣ר רָאִ֑יתָה [1] Munach Etnachta לְיוֹאָ֖ב [2] Tip'cha וַיָּרֹֽץ׃ [1] Silluq |
21 Then Joab said to the Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen!” The Cushite bowed himself to Joab, and ran. ¶ [3] |
|||
| 22 וַיֹּ֨סֶף ע֜וֹד [4] Qadma Geresh אֲחִימַ֤עַץ בֶּן־צָדוֹק֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֶל־יוֹאָ֔ב [2] Munach Zaqef אָרֻֽצָה־נָּ֥א גַם־אָ֖נִי [2] Merkha Tip'cha אַחֲרֵ֣י הַכּוּשִׁ֑י [1] Munach Etnachta אַתָּ֥ה רָץ֙ [3] Merkha Pashta בְּנִ֔י [2] Zaqef אֵין־בְּשׂוֹרָ֥ה מֹצֵֽאת׃ [1] Merkha Silluq |
22 Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said yet again to Joab, “But come what may, please let me also run after the Cushite.” ¶Joab said, “Why do you want to run, my son, since you will have no reward for the news?” ¶ [4] |
|||
| 23 וִיהִי־מָ֣ה אָר֔וּץ [2] Munach Zaqef וַיֹּ֥אמֶר ל֖וֹ [2] Merkha Tip'cha ר֑וּץ [1] Etnachta דֶּ֣רֶךְ הַכִּכָּ֔ר [2] Munach Zaqef אֶת־הַכּוּשִֽׁי׃ [1] Silluq |
23 “But come what may,” he said, “I will run.” ¶He said to him, “Run!” Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the Plain, and outran the Cushite. ¶ [2] |
|||
| 24 וְדָוִ֥ד יוֹשֵׁ֖ב [2] Merkha Tip'cha בֵּין־שְׁנֵ֣י הַשְּׁעָרִ֑ים [1] Munach Etnachta אֶל־גַּ֤ג הַשַּׁ֙עַר֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta אֶל־הַ֣חוֹמָ֔ה [2] Munach Zaqef וַיַּ֔רְא [2] Zaqef רָ֥ץ לְבַדּֽוֹ׃ [1] Merkha Silluq |
24 Now David was sitting between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate to the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man running alone. [2] |
|||
| 25 וַיִּקְרָ֤א הַצֹּפֶה֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta וַיַּגֵּ֣ד לַמֶּ֔לֶךְ [2] Munach Zaqef אִם־לְבַדּ֖וֹ [2] Tip'cha בְּשׂוֹרָ֣ה בְּפִ֑יו [1] Munach Etnachta וְקָרֵֽב׃ [1] Silluq |
25 The watchman cried, and told the king. The king said, “If he is alone, there is news in his mouth.” He came closer and closer. ¶ [3] |
|||
| 26 וַיַּ֣רְא הַצֹּפֶה֮ [3] Munach Zarqa אִישׁ־אַחֵ֣ר רָץ֒ [2] Munach Segol אֶל־הַשֹּׁעֵ֔ר [2] Zaqef הִנֵּה־אִ֖ישׁ [2] Tip'cha רָ֣ץ לְבַדּ֑וֹ [1] Munach Etnachta גַּם־זֶ֥ה מְבַשֵּֽׂר׃ [1] Merkha Silluq |
26 The watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the gatekeeper, and said, “Behold, a man running alone!” ¶The king said, “He also brings news.” ¶ [3] |
|||
| 27 וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ [3] Pashta הַצֹּפֶ֔ה [2] Zaqef אֶת־מְרוּצַ֣ת הָרִאשׁ֔וֹן [2] Munach Zaqef אֲחִימַ֣עַץ בֶּן־צָד֑וֹק [1] Munach Etnachta אִֽישׁ־ט֣וֹב זֶ֔ה [2] Munach Zaqef יָבֽוֹא׃ [1] Silluq |
27 The watchman said, “I think the running of the first one is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.” ¶The king said, “He is a good man, and comes with good news.” ¶ [3] |
|||
| 28 וַיִּקְרָ֣א אֲחִימַ֗עַץ [3] Munach Revi'a וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֶל־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta שָׁל֔וֹם [2] Zaqef לְאַפָּ֖יו [2] Tip'cha אָ֑רְצָה [1] Etnachta ס בָּרוּךְ֙ [3] Pashta יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ [2] Munach Zaqef אֶת־הָ֣אֲנָשִׁ֔ים [2] Munach Zaqef בַּאדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ [1] Merkha Silluq ס |
28 Ahimaaz called, and said to the king, “All is well.” He bowed himself before the king with his face to the earth, and said, “Blessed is the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who lifted up their hand against my lord the king!” ¶ [3] |
|||
| 29 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ [2] Munach Zaqef שָׁל֥וֹם לַנַּ֖עַר [2] Merkha Tip'cha לְאַבְשָׁל֑וֹם [1] Etnachta רָאִ֩יתִי֩ הֶהָמ֨וֹן הַגָּד֜וֹל [4] TelishaQ Qadma Geresh לִ֠שְׁלֹ֠חַ [4] TelishaG אֶת־עֶ֨בֶד הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ יוֹאָב֙ [3] Qadma Mapakh Pashta מָֽה׃ [1] Silluq |
29 The king said, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” ¶Ahimaaz answered, “When Joab sent the king’s servant, even me your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I don’t know what it was.” ¶ [2] |
|||
| 30 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ [2] Munach Zaqef סֹ֖ב [2] Tip'cha הִתְיַצֵּ֣ב כֹּ֑ה [1] Munach Etnachta וַֽיַּעֲמֹֽד׃ [1] Silluq |
30 The king said, “Come and stand here.” He came, and stood still. ¶ [2] |
|||
| 31 וְהִנֵּ֥ה הַכּוּשִׁ֖י [2] Merkha Tip'cha בָּ֑א [1] Etnachta יִתְבַּשֵּׂר֙ [3] Pashta אֲדֹנִ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ [2] Munach Zaqef הַיּ֔וֹם [2] Zaqef כׇּל־הַקָּמִ֥ים עָלֶֽיךָ׃ [1] Merkha Silluq ס |
31 Behold, the Cushite came. The Cushite said, “News for my lord the king, for the LORD has avenged you today of all those who rose up against you.” ¶ [2] |
|||
| 32 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta אֶל־הַכּוּשִׁ֔י [2] Zaqef לְאַבְשָׁל֑וֹם [1] Etnachta יִהְי֤וּ כַנַּ֙עַר֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta אֹֽיְבֵי֙ [3] Pashta אֲדֹנִ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ [2] Munach Zaqef אֲשֶׁר־קָ֥מוּ עָלֶ֖יךָ [2] Merkha Tip'cha לְרָעָֽה׃ [1] Silluq ס |
32 The king said to the Cushite, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” ¶The Cushite answered, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you to do you harm, be as that young man is.” ¶ [3] |
