  • 2 Sam 13:1-9 : 1 And it came to pass after{H310} this, that Absalom{H53} the son{H1121} of David{H1732} had a fair{H3303} sister{H269}, whose name{H8034} was Tamar{H8559}; and Amnon{H550} the son{H1121} of David{H1732} loved{H157}{(H8799)} her. 2 And Amnon{H550} was so vexed{H3334}{(H8799)}, that he fell sick{H2470}{(H8692)} for his sister{H269} Tamar{H8559}; for she was a virgin{H1330}; and Amnon{H550} thought{H5869} it hard{H6381}{(H8735)} for him to do{H6213}{(H8800)} any thing{H3972} to her. 3 But Amnon{H550} had a friend{H7453}, whose name{H8034} was Jonadab{H3122}, the son{H1121} of Shimeah{H8093} David's{H1732} brother{H251}: and Jonadab{H3122} was a very{H3966} subtil{H2450} man{H376}. 4 And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Why art thou, being the king's{H4428} son{H1121}, lean{H1800} from day{H1242} to day{H1242}? wilt thou not tell{H5046}{(H8686)} me? And Amnon{H550} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, I love{H157}{(H8802)} Tamar{H8559}, my brother{H251} Absalom's{H53} sister{H269}. 5 And Jonadab{H3082} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Lay thee down{H7901}{(H8798)} on thy bed{H4904}, and make thyself sick{H2470}{(H8690)}: and when thy father{H1} cometh{H935}{(H8804)} to see{H7200}{(H8800)} thee, say{H559}{(H8804)} unto him, I pray thee, let my sister{H269} Tamar{H8559} come{H935}{(H8799)}, and give{H1262}{(H8686)} me meat{H3899}, and dress{H6213}{(H8804)} the meat{H1279} in my sight{H5869}, that I may see{H7200}{(H8799)} it, and eat{H398}{(H8804)} it at her hand{H3027}. 6 So Amnon{H550} lay down{H7901}{(H8799)}, and made himself sick{H2470}{(H8691)}: and when the king{H4428} was come{H935}{(H8799)} to see{H7200}{(H8800)} him, Amnon{H550} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, I pray thee, let Tamar{H8559} my sister{H269} come{H935}{(H8799)}, and make{H3823}{(H8762)} me a couple{H8147} of cakes{H3834} in my sight{H5869}, that I may eat{H1262}{(H8799)} at her hand{H3027}. 7 Then David{H1732} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} home{H1004} to Tamar{H8559}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Go{H3212}{(H8798)} now to thy brother{H251} Amnon's{H550} house{H1004}, and dress{H6213}{(H8798)} him meat{H1279}. 8 So Tamar{H8559} went{H3212}{(H8799)} to her brother{H251} Amnon's{H550} house{H1004}; and he was laid down{H7901}{(H8802)}. And she took{H3947}{(H8799)} flour{H1217}, and kneaded{H3888}{(H8799)} it, and made cakes{H3823}{(H8762)} in his sight{H5869}, and did bake{H1310}{(H8762)} the cakes{H3834}. 9 And she took{H3947}{(H8799)} a pan{H4958}, and poured them out{H3332}{(H8799)} before{H6440} him; but he refused{H3985}{(H8762)} to eat{H398}{(H8800)}. And Amnon{H550} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Have out{H3318}{(H8685)} all men{H376} from me. And they went out{H3318}{(H8799)} every man{H376} from him. 10 And Amnon{H550} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Tamar{H8559}, Bring{H935}{(H8685)} the meat{H1279} into the chamber{H2315}, that I may eat{H1262}{(H8799)} of thine hand{H3027}. And Tamar{H8559} took{H3947}{(H8799)} the cakes{H3834} which she had made{H6213}{(H8804)}, and brought{H935}{(H8686)} them into the chamber{H2315} to Amnon{H550} her brother{H251}. 11 And when she had brought{H5066}{(H8686)} them unto him to eat{H398}{(H8800)}, he took hold{H2388}{(H8686)} of her, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto her, Come{H935}{(H8798)} lie{H7901}{(H8798)} with me, my sister{H269}. 12 And she answered{H559}{(H8799)} him, Nay, my brother{H251}, do not force{H6031}{(H8762)} me; for no such thing ought{H3651} to be done{H6213}{(H8735)} in Israel{H3478}: do{H6213}{(H8799)} not thou this folly{H5039}. 13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame{H2781} to go{H3212}{(H8686)}? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one{H259} of the fools{H5036} in Israel{H3478}. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak{H1696}{(H8761)} unto the king{H4428}; for he will not withhold{H4513}{(H8799)} me from thee. 14 Howbeit he would{H14}{(H8804)} not hearken{H8085}{(H8800)} unto her voice{H6963}: but, being stronger{H2388}{(H8799)} than she, forced{H6031}{(H8762)} her, and lay{H7901}{(H8799)} with her. 15 Then Amnon{H550} hated{H8130}{(H8799)} her exceedingly{H3966}{H1419}; so that the hatred{H8135} wherewith he hated{H8130}{(H8804)} her was greater{H1419} than the love{H160} wherewith he had loved{H157}{(H8804)} her. And Amnon{H550} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto her, Arise{H6965}{(H8798)}, be gone{H3212}{(H8798)}. 16 And she said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, There is no cause{H182}: this evil{H7451} in sending me away{H7971}{(H8763)} is greater{H1419} than the other{H312} that thou didst{H6213}{(H8804)} unto me. But he would{H14}{(H8804)} not hearken{H8085}{(H8800)} unto her. 17 Then he called{H7121}{(H8799)} his servant{H5288} that ministered{H8334}{(H8764)} unto him, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Put{H7971}{(H8798)} now this woman out{H2351} from me, and bolt{H5274}{(H8798)} the door{H1817} after{H310} her. 18 And she had a garment{H3801} of divers colours{H6446} upon her: for with such robes{H4598} were the king's{H4428} daughters{H1323} that were virgins{H1330} apparelled{H3847}{(H8799)}. Then his servant{H8334}{(H8764)} brought{H3318}{(H8686)} her out{H2351}, and bolted{H5274}{(H8804)} the door{H1817} after{H310} her. 19 And Tamar{H8559} put{H3947}{(H8799)} ashes{H665} on her head{H7218}, and rent{H7167}{(H8804)} her garment{H3801} of divers colours{H6446} that was on her, and laid{H7760}{(H8799)} her hand{H3027} on her head{H7218}, and went{H3212}{(H8799)} on{H1980}{(H8800)} crying{H2199}{(H8804)}. 20 And Absalom{H53} her brother{H251} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto her, Hath Amnon{H550} thy brother{H251} been with thee? but hold now thy peace{H2790}{(H8685)}, my sister{H269}: he is thy brother{H251}; regard{H7896}{(H8799)}{H3820} not this thing{H1697}. So Tamar{H8559} remained{H3427}{(H8799)} desolate{H8074}{(H8802)} in her brother{H251} Absalom's{H53} house{H1004}. 21 But when king{H4428} David{H1732} heard{H8085}{(H8804)} of all these things{H1697}, he was very{H3966} wroth{H2734}{(H8799)}. 22 And Absalom{H53} spake{H1696}{(H8765)} unto his brother Amnon{H550} neither good{H2896} nor bad{H7451}: for Absalom{H53} hated{H8130}{(H8804)} Amnon{H550}, because{H1697} he had forced{H6031}{(H8765)} his sister{H269} Tamar{H8559}. 23 And it came to pass after two full{H3117} years{H8141}, that Absalom{H53} had sheepshearers{H1494}{(H8802)} in Baalhazor{H1178}, which is beside Ephraim{H669}: and Absalom{H53} invited{H7121}{(H8799)} all the king's{H4428} sons{H1121}. 24 And Absalom{H53} came{H935}{(H8799)} to the king{H4428}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Behold now, thy servant{H5650} hath sheepshearers{H1494}{(H8802)}; let{H3212} the king{H4428}, I beseech thee, and his servants{H5650} go{H3212}{(H8799)} with thy servant{H5650}. 25 And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} to Absalom{H53}, Nay, my son{H1121}, let us not all now go{H3212}{(H8799)}, lest we be chargeable{H3513}{(H8799)} unto thee. And he pressed{H6555}{(H8799)} him: howbeit he would{H14}{(H8804)} not go{H3212}{(H8800)}, but blessed{H1288}{(H8762)} him. 26 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} Absalom{H53}, If not, I pray thee, let my brother{H251} Amnon{H550} go{H3212}{(H8799)} with us. And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Why should he go{H3212}{(H8799)} with thee? 27 But Absalom{H53} pressed{H6555}{(H8799)} him, that he let Amnon{H550} and all the king's{H4428} sons{H1121} go{H7971}{(H8799)} with him. 28 Now Absalom{H53} had commanded{H6680}{(H8762)} his servants{H5288}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Mark{H7200}{(H8798)} ye now when Amnon's{H550} heart{H3820} is merry{H2896} with wine{H3196}, and when I say{H559}{(H8804)} unto you, Smite{H5221}{(H8685)} Amnon{H550}; then kill{H4191}{(H8689)} him, fear{H3372}{(H8799)} not: have not I commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} you? be courageous{H2388}{(H8798)}, and be valiant{H1121}{H2428}. 29 And the servants{H5288} of Absalom{H53} did{H6213}{(H8799)} unto Amnon{H550} as Absalom{H53} had commanded{H6680}{(H8765)}. Then all the king's{H4428} sons{H1121} arose{H6965}{(H8799)}, and every man{H376} gat him up{H7392}{(H8799)} upon his mule{H6505}, and fled{H5127}{(H8799)}. 30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way{H1870}, that tidings{H8052} came{H935}{(H8804)} to David{H1732}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Absalom{H53} hath slain{H5221}{(H8689)} all the king's{H4428} sons{H1121}, and there is not one{H259} of them left{H3498}{(H8738)}. 31 Then the king{H4428} arose{H6965}{(H8799)}, and tare{H7167}{(H8799)} his garments{H899}, and lay{H7901}{(H8799)} on the earth{H776}; and all his servants{H5650} stood{H5324}{(H8737)} by with their clothes{H899} rent{H7167}{(H8803)}. 32 And Jonadab{H3122}, the son{H1121} of Shimeah{H8093} David's{H1732} brother{H251}, answered{H6030}{(H8799)} and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Let not my lord{H113} suppose{H559}{(H8799)} that they have slain{H4191}{(H8689)} all the young men{H5288} the king's{H4428} sons{H1121}; for Amnon{H550} only is dead{H4191}{(H8804)}: for by the appointment{H6310} of Absalom{H53} this hath been determined{H7760}{(H8803)} from the day{H3117} that he forced{H6031}{(H8763)} his sister{H269} Tamar{H8559}. 33 Now therefore let not my lord{H113} the king{H4428} take{H7760}{(H8799)} the thing{H1697} to his heart{H3820}, to think{H559}{(H8800)} that all the king's{H4428} sons{H1121} are dead{H4191}{(H8804)}: for Amnon{H550} only is dead{H4191}{(H8804)}. 34 But Absalom{H53} fled{H1272}{(H8799)}. And the young man{H5288} that kept the watch{H6822}{(H8802)} lifted up{H5375}{(H8799)} his eyes{H5869}, and looked{H7200}{(H8799)}, and, behold, there came{H1980}{(H8802)} much{H7227} people{H5971} by the way{H1870} of the hill{H2022} side{H6654} behind{H310} him. 35 And Jonadab{H3122} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, Behold, the king's{H4428} sons{H1121} come{H935}{(H8804)}: as thy servant{H5650} said{H1697}, so it is. 36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end{H3615}{(H8763)} of speaking{H1696}{(H8763)}, that, behold, the king's{H4428} sons{H1121} came{H935}{(H8804)}, and lifted up{H5375}{(H8799)} their voice{H6963} and wept{H1058}{(H8799)}: and the king{H4428} also and all his servants{H5650} wept{H1058}{(H8804)} very{H3966} sore{H1065}{H1419}. 37 But Absalom{H53} fled{H1272}{(H8804)}, and went{H3212}{(H8799)} to Talmai{H8526}, the son{H1121} of Ammihud{H5991}{(H8675)}{H5989}, king{H4428} of Geshur{H1650}. And David mourned{H56}{(H8691)} for his son{H1121} every day{H3117}. 38 So Absalom{H53} fled{H1272}{(H8804)}, and went{H3212}{(H8799)} to Geshur{H1650}, and was there three{H7969} years{H8141}. 39 And the soul of king{H4428} David{H1732} longed{H3615}{(H8762)} to go forth{H3318}{(H8800)} unto Absalom{H53}: for he was comforted{H5162}{(H8738)} concerning Amnon{H550}, seeing he was dead{H4191}{(H8804)}.
  • 2 Sam 16:1-9 : 1 And when David{H1732} was a little{H4592} past{H5674}{(H8804)} the top{H7218} of the hill, behold, Ziba{H6717} the servant{H5288} of Mephibosheth{H4648} met{H7125}{(H8800)} him, with a couple{H6776} of asses{H2543} saddled{H2280}{(H8803)}, and upon them two hundred{H3967} loaves of bread{H3899}, and an hundred{H3967} bunches of raisins{H6778}, and an hundred{H3967} of summer fruits{H7019}, and a bottle{H5035} of wine{H3196}. 2 And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Ziba{H6717}, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba{H6717} said{H559}{(H8799)}, The asses{H2543} be for the king's{H4428} household{H1004} to ride on{H7392}{(H8800)}; and the bread{H3899} and summer fruit{H7019} for the young men{H5288} to eat{H398}{(H8800)}; and the wine{H3196}, that such as be faint{H3287} in the wilderness{H4057} may drink{H8354}{(H8800)}. 3 And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)}, And where is thy master's{H113} son{H1121}? And Ziba{H6717} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, Behold, he abideth{H3427}{(H8802)} at Jerusalem{H3389}: for he said{H559}{(H8804)}, To day{H3117} shall the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} restore{H7725}{(H8686)} me the kingdom{H4468} of my father{H1}. 4 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} the king{H4428} to Ziba{H6717}, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth{H4648}. And Ziba{H6717} said{H559}{(H8799)}, I humbly{H7812}{(H8694)} beseech thee that I may find{H4672}{(H8799)} grace{H2580} in thy sight{H5869}, my lord{H113}, O king{H4428}. 5 And when king{H4428} David{H1732} came{H935}{(H8804)} to Bahurim{H980}, behold, thence came out{H3318}{(H8802)} a man{H376} of the family{H4940} of the house{H1004} of Saul{H7586}, whose name{H8034} was Shimei{H8096}, the son{H1121} of Gera{H1617}: he came forth{H3318}{(H8802)}, and cursed{H7043}{(H8764)} still as he came{H3318}{(H8800)}. 6 And he cast{H5619}{(H8762)} stones{H68} at David{H1732}, and at all the servants{H5650} of king{H4428} David{H1732}: and all the people{H5971} and all the mighty men{H1368} were on his right hand{H3225} and on his left{H8040}. 7 And thus said{H559}{(H8804)} Shimei{H8096} when he cursed{H7043}{(H8763)}, Come out{H3318}{(H8798)}, come out{H3318}{(H8798)}, thou bloody{H1818} man{H376}, and thou man{H376} of Belial{H1100}: 8 The LORD{H3068} hath returned{H7725}{(H8689)} upon thee all the blood{H1818} of the house{H1004} of Saul{H7586}, in whose stead thou hast reigned{H4427}{(H8804)}; and the LORD{H3068} hath delivered{H5414}{(H8799)} the kingdom{H4410} into the hand{H3027} of Absalom{H53} thy son{H1121}: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief{H7451}, because thou art a bloody{H1818} man{H376}. 9 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} Abishai{H52} the son{H1121} of Zeruiah{H6870} unto the king{H4428}, Why should this dead{H4191}{(H8801)} dog{H3611} curse{H7043}{(H8762)} my lord{H113} the king{H4428}? let me go over{H5674}{(H8799)}, I pray thee, and take off{H5493}{(H8686)} his head{H7218}. 10 And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)}, What have I to do with you, ye sons{H1121} of Zeruiah{H6870}? so let him curse{H7043}{(H8762)}, because the LORD{H3068} hath said{H559}{(H8804)} unto him, Curse{H7043}{(H8761)} David{H1732}. Who shall then say{H559}{(H8799)}, Wherefore hast thou done so{H6213}{(H8804)}? 11 And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} to Abishai{H52}, and to all his servants{H5650}, Behold, my son{H1121}, which came forth{H3318}{(H8804)} of my bowels{H4578}, seeketh{H1245}{(H8764)} my life{H5315}: how much more now may this Benjamite{H1145} do it? let him alone{H3240}{(H8685)}, and let him curse{H7043}{(H8762)}; for the LORD{H3068} hath bidden{H559}{(H8804)} him. 12 It may be that the LORD{H3068} will look{H7200}{(H8799)} on mine affliction{H5869}{(H8675)}{H6040}, and that the LORD{H3068} will requite{H7725}{(H8689)} me good{H2896} for his cursing{H7045} this day{H3117}. 13 And as David{H1732} and his men{H582} went{H3212}{(H8799)} by the way{H1870}, Shimei{H8096} went along{H1980}{(H8802)} on the hill's{H2022} side{H6763} over against{H5980} him, and cursed{H7043}{(H8762)} as he went{H1980}{(H8800)}, and threw{H5619}{(H8762)} stones{H68} at{H5980} him, and cast{H6080}{(H8765)} dust{H6083}. 14 And the king{H4428}, and all the people{H5971} that were with him, came{H935}{(H8799)} weary{H5889}, and refreshed{H5314}{(H8735)} themselves there. 15 And Absalom{H53}, and all the people{H5971} the men{H376} of Israel{H3478}, came{H935}{(H8804)} to Jerusalem{H3389}, and Ahithophel{H302} with him. 16 And it came to pass, when Hushai{H2365} the Archite{H757}, David's{H1732} friend{H7463}, was come{H935}{(H8804)} unto Absalom{H53}, that Hushai{H2365} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Absalom{H53}, God save{H2421}{(H8799)} the king{H4428}, God save{H2421}{(H8799)} the king{H4428}. 17 And Absalom{H53} said{H559}{(H8799)} to Hushai{H2365}, Is this thy kindness{H2617} to thy friend{H7453}? why wentest{H1980}{(H8804)} thou not with thy friend{H7453}? 18 And Hushai{H2365} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Absalom{H53}, Nay; but whom the LORD{H3068}, and this people{H5971}, and all the men{H376} of Israel{H3478}, choose{H977}{(H8804)}, his will I be, and with him will I abide{H3427}{(H8799)}. 19 And again{H8145}, whom should I serve{H5647}{(H8799)}? should I not serve in the presence{H6440} of his son{H1121}? as I have served{H5647}{(H8804)} in thy father's{H1} presence{H6440}, so will I be in thy presence{H6440}. 20 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} Absalom{H53} to Ahithophel{H302}, Give{H3051}{(H8798)} counsel{H6098} among you what we shall do{H6213}{(H8799)}. 21 And Ahithophel{H302} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Absalom{H53}, Go in{H935}{(H8798)} unto thy father's{H1} concubines{H6370}, which he hath left{H3240}{(H8689)} to keep{H8104}{(H8800)} the house{H1004}; and all Israel{H3478} shall hear{H8085}{(H8804)} that thou art abhorred{H887}{(H8738)} of thy father{H1}: then shall the hands{H3027} of all that are with thee be strong{H2388}{(H8804)}. 22 So they spread{H5186}{(H8686)} Absalom{H53} a tent{H168} upon the top of the house{H1406}; and Absalom{H53} went in{H935}{(H8799)} unto his father's{H1} concubines{H6370} in the sight{H5869} of all Israel{H3478}. 23 And the counsel{H6098} of Ahithophel{H302}, which he counselled{H3289}{(H8804)} in those days{H3117}, was as if a man{H376} had enquired{H7592}{(H8799)} at the oracle{H1697} of God{H430}: so was all the counsel{H6098} of Ahithophel{H302} both with David{H1732} and with Absalom{H53}.
  • Heb 12:10-11 : 10 For{G1063} they verily{G3303} for{G4314} a few{G3641} days{G2250} chastened{G3811}{(G5707)} us after{G2596} their own{G846} pleasure{G1380}{(G5723)}; but{G1161} he for{G1909} our profit{G4851}{(G5723)}, that{G1519} we might be partakers{G3335}{(G5629)} of his{G846} holiness{G41}. 11 Now{G1161} no{G3956}{G3756} chastening{G3809} for{G4314}{G3303} the present{G3918}{(G5752)} seemeth{G1380}{(G5719)} to be{G1511}{(G5750)} joyous{G5479}, but{G235} grievous{G3077}: nevertheless{G1161} afterward{G5305} it yieldeth{G591}{(G5719)} the peaceable{G1516} fruit{G2590} of righteousness{G1343} unto them which are exercised{G1128}{(G5772)} thereby{G1223}{G846}.
