II SAMUEL

II Samuel 14

1Now Joab, the son of Zeruiah, understood that the heart of the king had been turned toward Absalom,
2 Samuel 13:39, 2 Samuel 13:39, 2 Samuel 2:18, 2 Samuel 2:18, 2 Samuel 19:2
2so he sent to Tekoa, and he brought from there a wise woman. And he said to her: “Feign that you are in mourning, and put on the clothing of one who mourns. And do not anoint yourself with oil, so that you may be like a woman who is still grieving for someone who died some time ago.
2 Chronicles 11:6, 2 Chronicles 11:6, Amos 1:1, Ruth 3:3, Amos 1:1
3And you shall enter to the king, and you shall speak words to him in this manner.” Then Joab put the words in her mouth.
2 Samuel 14:19, 2 Samuel 14:19, Exodus 4:15, Exodus 4:15, Deuteronomy 18:18
4And so, when the woman of Tekoa had entered to the king, she fell before him on the ground, and she reverenced, and she said, “Save me, O king.”
2 Kings 6:26, 2 Kings 6:28, 2 Samuel 1:2, 1 Samuel 25:23, 2 Kings 6:26
5And the king said to her, “What problem do you have?” And she responded: “Alas, I am a woman who is a widow. For my husband has died.
Judges 9:8, Judges 9:15, 2 Samuel 12:1, 2 Samuel 12:3, Judges 9:8
6And your handmaid had two sons. And they quarreled against one another in the field. And there was no one there who would be able to stop them. And one struck the other, and killed him.
Genesis 4:8, Deuteronomy 22:26, Deuteronomy 22:27, Exodus 2:13, Genesis 4:8
7And behold, the whole family, rising up against your handmaid, said: ‘Deliver him who struck down his brother, so that we may kill him for the life of his brother, whom he killed, and so that we may do away with the heir.’ And they are seeking to extinguish my spark that is left, so that there may not survive a name for my husband, nor a remnant upon the earth.”
Numbers 35:19, Numbers 35:19, Matthew 21:38, Matthew 21:38, 2 Samuel 12:17
8And the king said to the woman, “Go to your own house, and I will make a decree on your behalf.”
Proverbs 18:13, Proverbs 18:13, Job 29:16, 2 Samuel 12:5, 2 Samuel 12:6
9And the woman of Tekoa said to the king: “May the iniquity be upon me, my lord, and upon the house of my father. But may the king and his throne be innocent.”
1 Samuel 25:24, 1 Samuel 25:24, 1 Kings 2:33, 1 Kings 2:33, Matthew 27:25
10And the king said, “Whoever will contradict you, bring him to me, and he will never touch you again.”
11And she said, “Let the king remember the Lord his God, so that close blood relatives may not be multiplied in order to take revenge, and so that they may by no means kill my son.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, not one hair from your son shall fall to the ground.”
1 Samuel 14:45, 1 Samuel 14:45, Matthew 10:30, Numbers 35:19, Matthew 10:30
12Then the woman said, “Let your handmaid speak a word to my lord the king.” And he said, “Speak.”
Acts 26:1, Genesis 44:18, 1 Samuel 25:24, Jeremiah 12:1, Genesis 18:32
13And the woman said: “Why have you thought such a thing against the people of God, and why has the king spoken this word, so that he sins and does not lead back the one whom he rejected?
2 Samuel 13:37, 2 Samuel 13:38, 2 Samuel 13:37, 2 Samuel 13:38, 2 Samuel 12:7
14We are all dying, and we are all like waters that flow into the ground and do not return. God does not will to lose a soul. Instead, he renews his efforts, thinking that what has been rejected might not perish altogether.
Job 30:23, Job 30:23, Hebrews 9:27, Numbers 35:28, Hebrews 9:27
15Therefore, now I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, in the presence of the people. And your handmaid said: I will speak to the king, for perhaps there may be some way for the king to accomplish the word of his handmaid.
16And the king listened, and he freed his handmaid from the hand of all who were willing to take away me and my son together, from the inheritance of God.
1 Samuel 26:19, 1 Samuel 26:19
17Therefore, let your handmaid speak, so that the word of my lord the king may be like a sacrifice. For even like an Angel of God, so is my lord the king, so that he is moved by neither a blessing, nor a curse. Then too, the Lord your God is with you.”
1 Samuel 29:9, 2 Samuel 19:27, 1 Samuel 29:9, 2 Samuel 19:27, 2 Samuel 14:20
18And in response, the king said to the woman, “You shall not conceal from me a word of what I ask you.” And the woman said to him, “Speak, my lord the king.”
Jeremiah 38:14, Jeremiah 38:25, 1 Samuel 3:17, 1 Samuel 3:18, Jeremiah 38:14
19And the king said, “Is not the hand of Joab with you in all this?” And the woman answered and said: “By the welfare of your soul, my lord the king, it is neither to the left, nor to the right, in all these things that my lord the king has spoken. For your servant Joab himself instructed me, and he himself placed all these words in the mouth of your handmaid.
2 Samuel 14:3, 2 Samuel 14:3, 1 Samuel 1:26, 1 Samuel 1:26, Luke 21:15
20Thus did I turn to this figure of speech, because your servant Joab instructed it. But you, my lord the king, are wise, just as an Angel of God has wisdom, so that you understand all that is upon the earth.”
2 Samuel 14:17, 2 Samuel 14:17, 2 Samuel 19:27, 2 Samuel 19:27, Proverbs 26:28
21And the king said to Joab: “Behold, your word has succeeded in appeasing me. Therefore, go and call back the boy Absalom.”
2 Samuel 14:11, 2 Samuel 14:11, 1 Samuel 14:39, Mark 6:26, 1 Samuel 14:39
22And falling to the ground upon his face, Joab reverenced, and he blessed the king. And Joab said: “Today your servant has understood that I have found grace in your sight, my lord the king. For you have accomplished the word of your servant.”
Job 29:11, 1 Samuel 20:3, Job 31:20, Nehemiah 11:2, Genesis 6:8
23Then Joab rose up, and he went away to Geshur. And he brought Absalom into Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 13:37, 2 Samuel 13:38, 2 Samuel 3:3, 2 Samuel 13:37, 2 Samuel 13:38
24But the king said, “Let him return to his own house, but let him not see my face.” And so, Absalom returned to his own house, but he did not see the face of the king.
Revelation 22:4, Revelation 22:4, Genesis 43:3, 2 Samuel 14:28, Exodus 10:28
25Now in all of Israel, there was no man so handsome, and so very stately as Absalom. From the sole of the foot to the top of the head, there was no blemish in him.
Isaiah 1:6, Isaiah 1:6, Deuteronomy 28:35, Job 2:7, Deuteronomy 28:35
26And when he shaved off his hair, for he shaved it off once a year, because his long hair was burdensome to him, he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, by the public weights.
Ezekiel 44:20, Ezekiel 44:20, 2 Samuel 18:9, 1 Corinthians 11:14, 2 Samuel 18:9
27Then three sons were born to Absalom, and one daughter, of elegant form, whose name was Tamar.
2 Samuel 18:18, 2 Samuel 18:18, 2 Samuel 13:1, 2 Samuel 13:1, Jeremiah 22:30
28And Absalom remained for two years in Jerusalem, and he did not see the face of the king.
29And so, he sent to Joab, so that he might send him to the king. But he refused to come to him. And when he had sent a second time, and he had refused to come to him,
2 Samuel 14:30, 2 Samuel 14:31, Matthew 22:3, Esther 1:12, 2 Samuel 14:30
30he said to his servants: “You know that the field of Joab, the one that is near my field, has a harvest of barley. Therefore, go and set it on fire.” And so, the servants of Absalom set fire to the grain field. And the servants of Joab, arriving with their garments torn, said, “The servants of Absalom have set fire to part of the field!”
Judges 15:4, Judges 15:5, Judges 15:4, Judges 15:5, 1 Kings 21:9
31And Joab rose up, and he went to Absalom at his house, and he said, “Why have your servants set fire to my grain field?”
32And Absalom responded to Joab: “I sent to you, begging that you might come to me, and that I might send you to the king, and that you might say to him: ‘Why was I brought from Geshur? It would have been better for me to be there.’ I beg you, therefore, that I may see the face of the king. And if he is mindful of my iniquity, let him put me to death.”
1 Samuel 20:8, Exodus 14:12, Proverbs 28:13, 1 Samuel 20:8, Exodus 14:12
33And so, Joab, entering to the king, reported everything to him. And Absalom was summoned. And he entered to the king, and he reverenced on the face of the earth. And the king kissed Absalom.
Luke 15:20, Genesis 33:4, Luke 15:20, Genesis 33:4, Genesis 45:15
