And each man grasped his opponent by the head and his sword into the side of his opponent, and they fell down together. Therefore that place was called “Helkath Hazzurim,” or “Field of Swords,” which is in Gibeon.

And Abner said to him, “Turn aside to your right or to your left, and seize for you from one of the young men, and take for you his belongings.” But Asahel was not willing to turn aside from behind him.

But he refused to turn aside, and so Abner struck him in the stomach with the back of the spear, so that the spear came out from his back. And he fell there, and died on the spot. And it happened that all the ones coming to the place where Asahel fell there and died, they stood.

Then David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself with one hundred Philistine foreskins.”

Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.

Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

\w Now|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w Philistines|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w had|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w come|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w spread|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w out|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w in|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w Valley|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w of|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Rephaim|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.

Then David asked for help from Yahweh. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to David, “Attack, for I will certainly give you victory over the Philistines.”

\w Then|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w David|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w asked|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w for|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w help|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w from|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Yahweh|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w*. \w He|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w said|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w*, “\w Should|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w I|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w attack|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w Philistines|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w*? \w Will|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w you|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w give|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w victory|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w over|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w them|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*?” \w Yahweh|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w said|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w David|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w*, “\w Attack|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w for|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w I|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w will|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w certainly|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w give|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w you|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w victory|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w over|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w Philistines|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w*.”

So David attacked at Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies before me like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.

The Philistines left their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.

Then the Philistines came up again and spread out once more in the Valley of Rephaim.

\w Then|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w Philistines|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w came|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w up|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w again|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w spread|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w out|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w once|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w more|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w in|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w Valley|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w of|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Rephaim|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.

So David asked help from Yahweh again, and Yahweh said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.

\w So|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w David|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w asked|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w help|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w from|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Yahweh|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w again|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w Yahweh|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w said|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w him|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, “\w You|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w must|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w not|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w attack|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w their|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w front|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w but|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w rather|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w circle|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w around|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w behind|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w them|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w come|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w on|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w them|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w through|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w balsam|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w woods|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.

So David did as Yahweh had commanded him. He killed Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.

Now David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

David arose and went with all his men who were with him from Baalah in Judah to bring up from there the Box of the Covenant of God, which is called by the name of Yahweh of hosts, who sits enthroned over the cherubim.

They set the Box of the Covenant of God on a new cart. They brought it out of Abinadab’s house, which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart.

When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out with his hand to grab the Box of the Covenant of God, and he took hold of it.

Then the anger of Yahweh burned against Uzzah. God attacked him there for his error. Uzzah died there by the Box of the Covenant of God.

David was angry because Yahweh had attacked Uzzah, and he called the name of that place Perez Uzzah. That place is called Perez Uzzah to this day.

David was afraid of Yahweh that day. He said, “How can the Box of the Covenant of Yahweh come to me?”

So David was not willing to take the Box of the Covenant of Yahweh with him into the city of David. Instead, he put it aside in the house of Obed Edom the Gittite.

The Box of the Covenant of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed Edom the Gittite for three months. So Yahweh blessed him and all his household.

Now King David was told, “Yahweh has blessed Obed Edom’s house and everything that belongs to him because of the Box of the Covenant of God.” So David went and brought up the Box of the Covenant of God from Obed Edom’s house to the city of David with joy.

So David and all the house of Israel brought up the Box of the Covenant of Yahweh with shouting and the sound of trumpets.

Now as the Box of the Covenant of Yahweh came into the city of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looked out the window. She saw King David leaping and dancing before Yahweh. Then she despised him in her heart.

What nation is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom you, God, went and rescued for yourself?

After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. So David took Metheg Ammah from the control of the Philistines.

There was in Saul’s family a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David. The king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” He replied, “Yes. I am your servant.”

David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent his servants to comfort Hanun concerning his father. His servants entered the land of the people of Ammon.

When David was told this, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and arrived at Helam. The Arameans arranged themselves in battle lines against David and fought him.

When all the kings who were servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their subjects. So the Arameans were afraid to help the people of Ammon anymore.

It came about in the springtime, at the time when kings normally go to war, that David sent out Joab, his servants, and all the army of Israel. They destroyed the sons of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed in Jerusalem.

So it came about one evening that David got up from his bed and walked on the roof of his palace. From there he saw a woman who was bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to look at.

So David sent and he inquired about the woman. Someone said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, and is she not the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”

David sent messengers and took her; she came in to him, and he lay with her (for she had just purified herself from menstruation). Then she returned to her house.

The woman conceived, and she sent and told David; she said, “I am pregnant.”

Then David sent to Joab saying, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David.

When Uriah arrived, David asked him how Joab was, how the army was doing, and how the war was going.

David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the king’s palace, and the king sent a gift for Uriah after he left.

But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s palace with all the servants of his master, and he did not go down to his house.

When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?”

Uriah answered David, “The Box, and Israel and Judah are staying in tents, and my master Joab and my master’s servants are camped in an open field. How then can I go into my house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As sure as you are alive, I will not do this.”

So David said to Uriah, “Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you leave.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next day.

When David called him, he ate and drank before him, and David made him drunk. At evening Uriah went out to sleep on his bed with the servants of his master; he did not go down to his house.

So Amnon lay down and pretended to be sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please send my sister Tamar to make some food for my sickness in front of me so that I may eat from her hand.”

Then David sent word to Tamar at his palace, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house and prepare food for him.”

\w Then|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w David|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w sent|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w word|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w Tamar|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w at|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w his|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w palace|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w saying|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, “\w Go|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w now|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w your|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w brother|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Amnon|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*’\w s|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w house|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w prepare|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w food|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w for|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w him|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.”

So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house where he was lying down. She took dough and kneaded it and formed bread in his sight, and then she baked it.

She took the pan and gave the bread to him, but he refused to eat. Then Amnon said to the others present, “Send everyone out, away from me.” So everyone went out from him.

So Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into my room that I may eat from your hand.” So Tamar took the bread that she had made, and brought it into the room of Amnon her brother.

When she had brought the food to him, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.”

However Amnon would not listen to her, and he was stronger than she was, and he overpowered her, and he lay with her.

Then Amnon hated Tamar with extreme hatred. He hated her even more than he had desired her. Amnon said to her, “Get up and go.”

So Absalom’s servants did to Amnon as he had commanded them. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man mounted his mule and fled.

So it came about, while they were on the road, that the news came to David saying, “Absalom has killed all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.”

Then the king arose and tore his clothes, and lay on the floor; all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.

Jonadab son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered and said, “Let not my master believe that they have killed all the young men who are the king’s sons, for Amnon only is dead. Absalom has planned this from the day that Amnon violated his sister Tamar.

So therefore let not my master the king take this report to heart, so as to believe that all the king’s sons are dead, for Amnon only is dead.”

Absalom fled away. A servant keeping watch raised his eyes and saw many people coming on the road on the hillside west of him.

Then Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the king’s sons are coming. It is just as your servant said.”

\w Then|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Jonadab|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w said|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w king|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w*, “\w Look|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w the|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w king|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w*’\w s|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w sons|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w are|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w coming|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*. \w It|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w is|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w just|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w as|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w your|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w servant|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w said|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w*.”

So it came about when he finished speaking, the king’s sons arrived and raised their voices and wept. The king and all his servants also wept bitterly.

\w So|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w it|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w came|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w about|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w when|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w he|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w finished|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w speaking|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w king|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w*’\w s|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w sons|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w arrived|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="3"\w* \w raised|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w their|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w voices|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="3"\w* \w wept|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w*. \w The|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w king|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="3" x-occurrences="3"\w* \w all|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w his|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w servants|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w also|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w wept|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w bitterly|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.

But Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.

\w But|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Absalom|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w fled|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w went|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Talmai|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w son|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w of|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w Ammihud|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w king|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w of|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w Geshur|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*. \w David|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w mourned|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w for|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w his|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w son|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w every|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w day|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.

So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, where he was for three years.

The mind of King David longed to go out to see Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon and his death.

Now Joab son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart desired to see Absalom.

So Joab sent word to Tekoa and had from there a wise woman brought to him. He said to her, “Please pretend you are a mourner and put on mourning clothes. Please do not anoint yourself with oil, but be like a woman who has mourned a long time for the dead.

So Joab lay facedown on the ground in honor and gratitude to the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your eyes, my master, king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.”

To Absalom were born three sons and one daughter, whose name was Tamar. She was a beautiful woman.

Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, without seeing the king’s face.

Then Absalom sent word for Joab to send him to the king, but Joab would not come to him. So Absalom sent word a second time, but Joab still did not come.

So Absalom said to his servants, “See, Joab’s field is near mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.

Absalom answered Joab, “Look, I sent word to you saying, ‘Come here so I may send you to the king to say, “Why did I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to still be there. Now therefore let me see the king’s face, and if I am guilty, let him kill me.”’”

So Joab went to the king and told him. When the king called for Absalom, he came to the king and bowed low to the ground before the king, and the king kissed Absalom.

It came about after this that Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, with 50 men to run before him.

Absalom would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. When any man had a dispute to come to the king for judgment, Absalom called to him and said, “From what city have you come?” Then the man would answer, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.”

So Absalom would say to him, “Look, your case is good and right, but there is no one empowered by the king to hear your case.”

\w So|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Absalom|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w would|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w say|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w him|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, “\w Look|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w your|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w case|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w is|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w good|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w right|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w but|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w there|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w is|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w no|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w one|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w empowered|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w by|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w king|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w hear|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w your|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w case|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w*.”

Absalom added, “I wish that I were made judge in the land, so that every man who had any dispute or cause might come to me, and I would bring him justice!”

\w Absalom|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w added|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, “\w I|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="3"\w* \w wish|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w that|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w I|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="3"\w* \w were|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w made|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w judge|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w in|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w land|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w so|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w that|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w every|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w man|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w who|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w had|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w any|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w dispute|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w or|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w cause|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w might|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w come|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w me|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w I|x-occurrence="3" x-occurrences="3"\w* \w would|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w bring|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w him|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w justice|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*!”

So it came about that when any man came to Absalom to honor him, Absalom would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him.

Absalom acted in this way to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

So the king said to him, “Go in peace.” So Absalom arose and went to Hebron.

With Absalom went 200 men from Jerusalem, who were invited. They went in their innocence, not knowing anything that Absalom had planned.

While Absalom offered sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilohite from his hometown of Giloh. He was David’s counselor. Absalom’s conspiracy was strong, for the people following Absalom were constantly increasing.

So David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let us flee, or none of us will escape from Absalom. Prepare to leave immediately, or he will quickly overtake us, and he will bring down disaster on us and attack the city with the edge of the sword.”

So David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Look, my son, who was born from my body, wants to take my life. How much more may this Benjamite now desire my ruin? Leave him alone and let him curse, for Yahweh has commanded him to do it.

So David and his men traveled on the road, while Shimei went beside him up on the hillside, cursing and throwing dust and stones at him as he went.

Then the king and all the people who were with him became weary, and he rested when they stopped for the night.

Ahithophel answered Absalom, “Go into your father’s slave wives whom he has left to keep the palace, and all Israel will hear that you have become a stench to your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”

What Ahithophel said pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel.

Then David arose and all the people who were with him, and they crossed over the Jordan. By morning daylight not one of them had failed to cross over the Jordan.

When Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and left. He went home to his own city, set his affairs in order, and hanged himself. In this way he died and was buried in the tomb of his father.

Absalom had set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Amasa was the son of a man called Jether the Ishmaelite, who went in to Abigail, who was the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah, the mother of Joab.

+ \ft Scholars are divided about whether the word describing Jether should be “Ishmaelite” as it is in some ancient Greek versions, or “Israelite” as it is in the ancient Hebrew text. Some scholars believe that “Israelite” is a scribal error in the Hebrew. “Ishmaelite” is the word used in a parallel passage (See: 1 Chronicles 2:17), in both the ancient Hebrew and Greek texts.

Then David sent out the army, one-third under the command of Joab, another third under the command of Abishai son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and still another third under the command of Ittai the Gittite. The king said to the army, “I will certainly go out with you myself, too.”

But the men said, “You must not go to battle, for if we flee away they will not care about us, or if half of us die they will not care. But you are worth 10000 of us! Therefore it is better that you be ready to help us from the city.”

Absalom happened to meet some of David’s soldiers. Absalom was riding his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a large oak tree, and his head was caught up in the tree branches. He was left dangling between the ground and the sky while the mule he was riding kept going.

Then Joab said, “I will not wait for you.” So Joab took three javelins in his hand and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was still alive and hanging from the oak.

Then ten young men who carried Joab’s armor surrounded Absalom, attacked him, and killed him.

They took Absalom and threw him into a large pit in the forest; they buried his body under a very large pile of stones, while all Israel fled, every man to his own home.

Now Absalom, while still alive, had built for himself a large stone pillar in the King’s Valley, for he said, “I have no son to carry along the memory of my name.” He named the pillar after his own name, so it is called Absalom’s Monument to this very day.

Joab answered him, “You will not be the bearer of news today; you must do it another day. Today you will bear no news because the king’s son is dead.”

Then Joab said to a Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen.” The Cushite bowed down to Joab, and ran.

Now David was sitting between the inner and outer gates. The watchman had gone up to the roof of the gate to the wall and raised his eyes. As he looked, he saw a man approaching, running alone.

The watchman shouted out and told the king. Then the king said, “If he is alone, there is news in his mouth.” The runner came closer and neared the city.

Then the watchman noticed another man running, and the watchman called to the gatekeeper; he said, “Look, there is another man running alone.” The king said, “He is also bringing news.”

So the watchman said, “I think the running of the man in front is like the running of Ahimaaz son of Zadok.” The king said, “He is a good man and is coming with good news.”

Then Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, “All is well.” He bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground and said, “Blessed be Yahweh your God! He has delivered the men who lifted up their hand against my master the king.”

So the king replied, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” Ahimaaz answered, “When Joab sent me, the king’s servant, to you, king, I saw a great disturbance, but I did not know what it was.”

Then the king was deeply unnerved, and he went up to the room over the gate and wept. As he went he grieved, “My son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! I wish I had died instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son!”

So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the army, for the army heard it said that day, “The king is mourning for his son.”

Then Joab entered into the house to the king and said to him, “You have shamed the faces of all your soldiers today, who have saved your life today, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines,

The king answered, “Kimham will go over with me, and I will do for him what seems good to you, and whatever you desire from me, I will do that for you.”

Then all the people crossed the Jordan, and the king crossed over, and the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him. Then Barzillai returned to his own home.

So the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “It is because the king is more closely related to us. Why then are you angry about this? Have we eaten anything that the king had to pay for? Has he given us any gifts?”

The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, “We have ten tribes related to the king, so we have even more right to David than you. Why then did you despise us? Was not our proposal to bring back our king the first to be heard?” But the words of the men of Judah were even more harsh than the words of the men of Israel.

There also happened to be at the same place a troublemaker whose name was Sheba son of Bikri, a Benjamite. He blew the trumpet and said, “We have no part in David, neither have we any inheritance in the son of Jesse. Let every man go back to his home, Israel.”

So all the men of Israel deserted David and followed Sheba son of Bikri. But the men of Judah followed closely their king, from the Jordan all the way to Jerusalem.

When David came to his palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten concubines whom he had left to keep the palace, and he put them in a house under guard. He provided for their needs, but he did not lie with them any longer. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living as if they were widows.

Then the king said to Amasa, “Call the men of Judah together within three days; you must be here, too.”

So Amasa went to call Judah, but he was delayed beyond the time that the king had allotted for him.

So David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your master’s servants, my soldiers, and pursue after him, or he will find fortified cities and escape out of our sight.”

Then Joab’s men went out after him, along with the Kerethites and the Pelethites and all the mighty warriors. They left Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.

When they were at the great stone which is at Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was wearing the battle armor that he had put on, which included a belt around his waist with a sheathed sword fastened to it. As he walked forward, the sword fell out.

Amasa did not notice the dagger that was in Joab’s left hand. Joab stabbed Amasa in the stomach and his bowels spilled out to the ground. Joab did not strike him again, and Amasa died.

Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the road. When the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa off of the road and into a field. He threw a garment over him because he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.

They caught up with him and besieged him in Abel Beth Maacah. They built up a siege ramp against the city against the wall. All the army who were with Joab battered the wall to knock it down.

So Joab came near to her, and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” He answered, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Listen to the words of your servant.” He answered, “I am listening.”

So Joab answered and said, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

But the king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, sons whom she bore to Saul—the two sons were named Armoni and Mephibosheth; and David also took the five sons of Merab daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.

Then Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the mountain beside the dead bodies, from the beginning of harvest until the rain poured down on them from the sky. She did not allow the birds of the sky to disturb the bodies by day or the wild animals by night.

So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, after the Philistines had killed Saul in Gilboa.

David took away from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of the seven men who had been hanged, as well.

They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. They performed all that the king commanded. After that God answered their prayers for the land.

So these three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, the well at the gate. They took the water and brought it to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to Yahweh.

When David rose up in the morning, the word of Yahweh came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,

So Gad went to David and said to him, “Will three years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months from your enemies while they pursue you? Or will there be three days of plague in your land? Now decide what answer I should return to him who sent me this message.”

Then David said to Gad, “I am in deep trouble. Let us fall into Yahweh’s hands rather than into the hand of man, for his merciful actions are very great.”

\w Then|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w David|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w said|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Gad|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, “\w I|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w am|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w in|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w deep|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w trouble|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*. \w Let|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w us|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w fall|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w into|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w Yahweh|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*’\w s|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w hands|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w rather|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w than|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w into|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w hand|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w of|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w man|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w for|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w his|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w merciful|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w actions|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w are|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w very|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w great|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.”

So Yahweh sent a plague on Israel from the morning to a fixed time, and 70000 people died from Dan to Beersheba.

When the angel reached out with his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Yahweh changed his mind because of the harm it would cause, and he said to the angel who was destroying people, “Enough!

Then David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel who had attacked the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have acted perversely. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand punish me and my father’s family!”

Then Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar for Yahweh at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”

\w Then|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Gad|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w came|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w that|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w day|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w David|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w said|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w him|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, “\w Go|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w up|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w build|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w an|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w altar|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w for|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Yahweh|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w at|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w threshing|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w floor|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w of|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Araunah|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w Jebusite|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.”

So David went up as Gad instructed him to do, as Yahweh had commanded.

Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants approaching. So Araunah went out and bowed to the king with his face to the ground.

Then Araunah said, “Why has my master the king come to me, his servant?” David replied, “To buy your threshing floor, so I can build an altar for Yahweh, so that the plague may be removed from the people.”

Araunah said to David, “Take it and offer it, my master the king. Do with it what is good in your sight. Look, here are oxen for the burnt offering and threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood.

The king said to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it at a price. I will not offer as a burnt offering to Yahweh, my God, anything that costs me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

David built an altar for Yahweh there and offered on it burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. So Yahweh answered the prayer on behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was confined.
