II Samuel 19

1Now it was reported to Joab that the king was weeping and mourning for his son.

2 Samuel 18:5, 2 Samuel 18:14, 2 Samuel 18:5, 2 Samuel 18:14, 2 Samuel 18:33

2And so the victory on that day was turned into mourning for all the people. For the people heard it said on that day, “The king is grieving over his son.”

Proverbs 19:12, Proverbs 16:15, Proverbs 19:12, Proverbs 16:15

3And the people declined to enter the city on that day, in the manner that the people were accustomed to decline if they had turned and fled from battle.

2 Samuel 17:24, Genesis 31:27, 2 Samuel 19:32, 2 Samuel 17:24, Genesis 31:27

4And the king covered his head, and he was crying out in a great voice: “My son, Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”

2 Samuel 18:33, 2 Samuel 15:30, 2 Samuel 18:33, 2 Samuel 15:30

5Therefore, Joab, entering to the king in the house, said: “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants, who saved your life, and the lives of your sons and your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines.

Nehemiah 9:27, Psalms 18:47, Psalms 18:48, Psalms 3:8, Nehemiah 9:27

6You love those who hate you, and you hate those who love you. And you have revealed this day that you have no concern for your leaders and for your servants. And truly, I know now that if Absalom had lived, and if we all had been killed, then it would have pleased you.

Acts 23:5, 2 Samuel 3:24, 2 Samuel 3:25, Proverbs 19:9, Proverbs 19:10

7Now then, rise up and go out, and speak so as to make amends to your servants. For I swear to you by the Lord that if you will not go forth, not even one person will be left with you this night. And this will be worse for you than all the evils that have come to you, from your youth even to the present.”

Proverbs 14:28, Proverbs 14:28, Genesis 34:3, Genesis 34:3, Proverbs 19:15

8Therefore, the king rose up, and he sat at the gate. And it was announced to all the people that the king was sitting at the gate. And the entire multitude went before the king. But Israel fled to their own tents.

2 Samuel 18:24, 2 Samuel 18:24, 2 Samuel 18:4, 2 Samuel 18:4, 2 Samuel 19:3

9And all the people were conflicted, in all the tribes of Israel, saying: “The king has freed us from the hand of our enemies. He himself saved us from the hand of the Philistines. But now he flees from the land for the sake of Absalom.

2 Samuel 15:14, 2 Samuel 15:14, Genesis 3:12, Genesis 3:13, 2 Samuel 8:1

10But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in the war. How long will you be silent, and not lead back the king?”

Judges 18:9, 2 Samuel 18:14, 2 Samuel 15:12, 2 Samuel 15:13, Hosea 8:4

11Then truly, king David sent to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, saying: “Speak to those greater by birth of Judah, saying: ‘Why have you arrived last to lead back the king into his house? (For the talk in all of Israel had reached the king in his house.)

2 Samuel 15:29, 2 Samuel 15:29, 2 Corinthians 5:20, Matthew 5:16, 2 Thessalonians 3:9

12You are my brothers; you are my bone and my flesh. Why are you the last to lead back the king?’

2 Samuel 5:1, 2 Samuel 5:1, Ephesians 5:30, Genesis 2:23, Judges 9:2

13And say to Amasa: ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do these things, and may he add these other things, if you will not be the leader of the military in my sight, for all time, in the place of Joab.’ ”

2 Samuel 17:25, 2 Samuel 17:25, 2 Samuel 8:16, Ruth 1:17, 1 Kings 19:2

14And he inclined the heart of all the men of Judah, as if one man. And they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”

Judges 20:1, Judges 20:1, Acts 4:32, Acts 4:32, Psalms 110:2

15And the king returned. And he went as far as the Jordan, and all of Judah went as far as Gilgal, so as to meet the king, and to lead him across the Jordan.

Joshua 5:9, Joshua 5:9, 1 Samuel 11:14, 1 Samuel 11:15, 1 Samuel 11:14

16And Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, hurried and descended with the men of Judah to meet king David,

1 Kings 2:8, 1 Kings 2:8, 2 Samuel 16:5, 2 Samuel 16:13, 2 Samuel 16:5

17with one thousand men from Benjamin, and with Ziba, the servant from the house of Saul. And with him were his fifteen sons and twenty servants. And going into the Jordan,

2 Samuel 16:1, 2 Samuel 16:4, 2 Samuel 9:2, 2 Samuel 16:1, 2 Samuel 16:4

18they crossed the fords before the king, so that they might lead across the house of the king, and might act in accord with his order. Then, Shimei, the son of Gera, prostrating himself before the king after he had now gone across the Jordan,

Psalms 81:15, Revelation 3:9, Psalms 66:3, Psalms 81:15, Revelation 3:9

19said to him: “May you not impute to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor call to mind the injuries, of your servant in the day that you, my lord the king, departed from Jerusalem. And may you not store it up in your heart, O king.

1 Samuel 22:15, 1 Samuel 22:15, Ecclesiastes 10:4, Isaiah 43:25, Jeremiah 31:34

20For as your servant, I acknowledge my sin. And for this reason, today, I arrive as the first from all the house of Joseph, and I descend to meet my lord the king.”

2 Samuel 19:9, Psalms 78:34, Psalms 78:37, Hosea 5:3, 1 Kings 12:25

21Yet truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, responding, said, “Should not Shimei, because of these words, be killed, since he cursed the Christ of the Lord?”

Exodus 22:28, Exodus 22:28, 1 Samuel 26:9, 1 Samuel 26:9, 1 Samuel 24:6

22And David said: “What is it to me and to all of you, O sons of Zeruiah? Why are you acting toward me this day like Satan? Why should any man be put to death on this day in Israel? Or do you not know that today I have been made king over Israel?”

1 Samuel 11:13, 1 Samuel 11:13, 2 Samuel 16:10, 2 Samuel 16:10, 2 Samuel 3:39

23And the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And he swore to him.

1 Kings 2:46, 1 Kings 2:8, 1 Kings 2:9, 1 Kings 2:46, 1 Kings 2:8

24And Mephibosheth, the son of Saul, descended to meet the king, with unwashed feet and uncut beard. And he had not washed his garments from the day that the king had departed, until the day of his return in peace.

Hebrews 13:3, Jeremiah 41:5, 2 Samuel 15:30, 2 Samuel 16:3, 2 Samuel 9:6

25And when he had met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”

2 Samuel 16:17, 2 Samuel 16:17

26And in response, he said: “My lord the king, my servant spurned me. And I, your servant, spoke to him so that he might saddle a donkey for me, and I might climb upon it and go with the king. For I, your servant, am lame.

2 Samuel 9:3, 2 Samuel 16:2, 2 Samuel 16:3, 2 Samuel 4:4, 2 Samuel 9:3

27Moreover, he also accused me, your servant, to you, my lord the king. But you, my lord the king, are like an Angel of God. Do whatever is pleasing to you.

2 Samuel 14:20, 2 Samuel 14:17, 2 Samuel 14:20, 2 Samuel 14:17, 2 Samuel 16:3

28For my father’s house was deserving of nothing but death before my lord the king. Yet you have placed me, your servant, among the guests of your table. Therefore, what just complaint might I have? Or what else can I cry out to the king?”

2 Samuel 9:13, 2 Samuel 9:13, 2 Samuel 9:10, 2 Samuel 9:10, 2 Kings 8:3

29Then the king said to him: “Why are you still speaking? What I have spoken is fixed. You and Ziba shall divide the possessions.”

Job 19:16, Job 19:17, Proverbs 18:13, Psalms 101:5, Acts 18:15

30And Mephibosheth responded to the king, “But now let him take it all, since my lord the king has been returned peacefully into his own house.”

2 Samuel 1:26, Acts 20:24, Philippians 1:20, 2 Samuel 1:26, Acts 20:24

31Likewise, Barzillai the Gileadite, descending from Rogelim, led the king across the Jordan, having prepared also to follow him beyond the river.

1 Kings 2:7, 1 Kings 2:7, Nehemiah 7:63, Ezra 2:61, 2 Samuel 17:27

32Now Barzillai the Gileadite was very old, that is, eighty years old. And he provided the king with sustenance when he was staying at the encampment. For indeed, he was an exceedingly rich man.

1 Samuel 25:2, 1 Samuel 25:2, Proverbs 16:31, Job 1:3, Deuteronomy 34:7

33And so the king said to Barzillai, “Come with me, so that you may rest securely with me in Jerusalem.”

2 Thessalonians 1:7, Luke 22:28, Luke 22:30, Matthew 25:34, Matthew 25:40

34And Barzillai said to the king: “How many days remain in the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

1 Corinthians 7:29, James 4:14, 1 Corinthians 7:29, James 4:14, Psalms 39:5

35Today I am eighty years old. Are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? Or is food and drink able to delight your servant? Or can I still hear the voice of men and women singers? Why should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?

2 Samuel 15:33, 2 Samuel 15:33, Ezra 2:65, Ezra 2:65, Psalms 90:10

36I, your servant, shall proceed a little ways from the Jordan with you. I am not in need of this recompense.

Luke 6:38, Luke 6:38

37But I beg you that I, your servant, may be returned and may die in my own city, and may be buried beside the sepulcher of my father and my mother. But there is your servant Chimham; let him go with you, my lord the king. And do for him whatever seems good to you.”

1 Kings 2:7, Jeremiah 41:17, 1 Kings 2:7, Jeremiah 41:17, 2 Samuel 19:40

38And so the king said to him: “Let Chimham cross over with me, and I will do for him whatever will be pleasing to you. And all that you ask of me, you shall obtain.”

39And when the entire people and the king had crossed over the Jordan, the king kissed Barzillai, and he blessed him. And he returned to his own place.

Genesis 31:55, Genesis 31:55, Ruth 1:14, Ruth 1:14, Genesis 47:7

40Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him. Now all the people of Judah had led the king across, but only as much as one half part of the people of Israel were there.

2 Samuel 19:11, 2 Samuel 19:15, Matthew 21:9, Genesis 49:10, 2 Samuel 19:11

41And so, all the men of Israel, running to the king, said to him: “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you away. And why have they led the king and his house across the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?”

Judges 8:1, Judges 12:1, Judges 8:1, Judges 12:1, John 7:5

42And all the men of Judah responded to the men of Israel: “Because the king is nearer to me. Why are you angry over this matter? Have we eaten anything belonging to the king, or have any gifts been given to us?”

2 Samuel 19:12, 2 Samuel 19:12, 1 Chronicles 2:3, 1 Chronicles 2:17, 2 Samuel 5:1

43And the men of Israel responded to the men of Judah, and said: “I have the greater amount, ten parts, with the king, and so David belongs to me more so than to you. Why have you caused me injury, and why was it not announced to me first, so that I might lead back my king?” But the men of Judah answered more firmly than the men of Israel.

Galatians 5:20, Galatians 5:20, 2 Samuel 5:1, 2 Samuel 5:1, 1 Kings 11:30
