2SA-9:8 And he bowed himself, and said, What [is] thy servant,

that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I [am] ?

2SA-9:9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said

unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained

to Saul and to all his house. <all> <called> <given> <have>

2SA-9:10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall

till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in [the fruits] ,

that thy master's son may have food to eat:but Mephibosheth thy

master's son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had

fifteen sons and twenty servants. <alway> <bread> <bring> <eat>

2SA-9:11 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my

lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant

do. As for Mephibosheth, [said the king] , he shall eat at my

table, as one of the king's sons. <all> <commanded> <do> <eat>

2SA-9:12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name [was]

Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba [were] servants

unto Mephibosheth. <all> <dwelt> <had> <house> <mephibosheth>

2SA-9:13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem:for he did eat

continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.

2SA-10:1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the

children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.

2SA-10:2 Then said David, I will show kindness unto Hanun the

son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness unto me. And David

sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father.

And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

2SA-10:3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto

Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy

father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David

[rather] sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to

spy it out, and to overthrow it? <ammon> <children> <city>

2SA-10:4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off

the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the

middle, [even] to their buttocks, and sent them away. <away>

2SA-10:5 When they told [it] unto David, he sent to meet them,

because the men were greatly ashamed:and the king said, Tarry at

Jericho until your beards be grown, and [then] return. <ashamed>

2SA-10:6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank

before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians

of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen,

and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand

men. <ammon> <before> <bethrehob> <children> <david> <footmen>

2SA-10:7 And when David heard of [it] , he sent Joab, and all

the host of the mighty men. <all> <david> <heard> <host> <joab>

2SA-10:8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle

in array at the entering in of the gate:and the Syrians of Zoba,

and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, [were] by themselves in

the field. <ammon> <array> <battle> <came> <children> <entering>

2SA-10:9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against

him before and behind, he chose of all the choice [men] of

Israel, and put [them] in array against the Syrians:<against>

2SA-10:10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand

of Abishai his brother, that he might put [them] in array

against the children of Ammon. <against> <ammon> <array>

2SA-10:11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then

thou shalt help me:but if the children of Ammon be too strong

for thee, then I will come and help thee. <ammon> <children>

2SA-10:12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our

people, and for the cities of our God:and the LORD do that which

seemeth him good. <cities> <courage> <do> <god> <good> <him>

2SA-10:13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that [were] with

him, unto the battle against the Syrians:and they fled before

him. <against> <battle> <before> <drew> <fled> <him> <joab>

2SA-10:14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians

were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into

the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came

to Jerusalem. <also> <ammon> <before> <came> <children> <city>

2SA-10:15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before

Israel, they gathered themselves together. <before> <gathered>

2SA-10:16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that

[were] beyond the river:and they came to Helam; and Shobach the

captain of the host of Hadarezer [went] before them. <before>

2SA-10:17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel

together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the

Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with

him. <against> <all> <array> <came> <david> <fought> <gathered>

2SA-10:18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew

[the men of] seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty

thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host,

who died there. <before> <captain> <chariots> <david> <died>

<who>

2SA-10:19 And when all the kings [that were] servants to

Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made

peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to

help the children of Ammon any more. <all> <ammon> <any>

2SA-11:1 And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the

time when kings go forth [to battle] , that David sent Joab, and

his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the

children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still

at Jerusalem. <after> <all> <ammon> <battle> <besieged> <came>

2SA-11:2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose

from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house:

and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman

[was] very beautiful to look upon. <arose> <beautiful> <bed>

2SA-11:3 And David sent and inquired after the woman. And [one]

said, [Is] not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife

of Uriah the Hittite? <after> <bathsheba> <daughter> <david>

2SA-11:4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came

in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her

uncleanness:and she returned unto her house. <came> <david>

2SA-11:5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and

said, I [am] with child. <child> <conceived> <david> <said>

2SA-11:6 And David sent to Joab, [saying] , Send me Uriah the

Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. <david> <hittite> <joab>

2SA-11:7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded [of

him] how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war

prospered. <come> <david> <demanded> <did> <him> <how> <joab>

2SA-11:8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash

thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there

followed him a mess [of meat] from the king. <david> <departed>

2SA-11:9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with

all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

2SA-11:10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not

down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from

[thy] journey? why [then] didst thou not go down unto thine

house? <camest> <david> <didst> <down> <go> <had> <house>

2SA-11:11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and

Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my

lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine

house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? [as] thou

livest, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

2SA-11:12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and

to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem

that day, and the morrow. <also> <david> <day> <depart> <here>

2SA-11:13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink

before him; and he made him drunk:and at even he went out to lie

on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to

his house. <bed> <before> <called> <david> <did> <down> <drink>

2SA-11:14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a

letter to Joab, and sent [it] by the hand of Uriah. <came>

<wrote>

2SA-11:15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in

the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him,

that he may be smitten, and die. <battle> <die> <forefront>

2SA-11:16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that

he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men

[were] . <assigned> <came> <city> <joab> <knew> <men> <observed>

2SA-11:17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab:

and there fell [some] of the people of the servants of David;

and Uriah the Hittite died also. <also> <city> <david> <died>

2SA-11:18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things

concerning the war; <all> <concerning> <david> <joab> <sent>

2SA-11:19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made

an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,

2SA-11:20 And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say

unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye

did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?

2SA-11:21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a

woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that

he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy

servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. <also> <cast> <dead>

2SA-11:22 So the messenger went, and came and showed David all

that Joab had sent him for. <all> <came> <david> <had> <him>

2SA-11:23 And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men

prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and

we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate. <against>

2SA-11:24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy

servants; and [some] of the king's servants be dead, and thy

servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. <also> <dead> <hittite>

<wall>

2SA-11:25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou

say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword

devoureth one as well as another:make thy battle more strong

against the city, and overthrow it:and encourage thou him.

2SA-11:26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her

husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. <dead> <heard>

2SA-11:27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched

her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son.

But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD. <bare>

2SA-12:1 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto

him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one

rich, and the other poor. <came> <city> <david> <him> <lord>

<two>

2SA-12:2 The rich [man] had exceeding many flocks and herds:

2SA-12:3 But the poor [man] had nothing, save one little ewe

lamb, which he had bought and nourished up:and it grew up

together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own

meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was

unto him as a daughter. <bosom> <bought> <children> <cup>

2SA-12:4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he

spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress

for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor

man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.

2SA-12:5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man;

and he said to Nathan, [As] the LORD liveth, the man that hath

done this [thing] shall surely die:<against> <anger> <die>

2SA-12:6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did

this thing, and because he had no pity. <because> <did>

2SA-12:7 And Nathan said to David, Thou [art] the man. Thus

saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel,

and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; <anointed> <art>

2SA-12:8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's

wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of

Judah; and if [that had been] too little, I would moreover have

given unto thee such and such things. <been> <bosom> <gave>

2SA-12:9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the

LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the

Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife [to be] thy wife,

and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

2SA-12:10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine

house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of

Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. <because> <depart> <despised>

2SA-12:11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil

against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives

before thine eyes, and give [them] unto thy neighbour, and he

shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. <against>

2SA-12:12 For thou didst [it] secretly:but I will do this thing

before all Israel, and before the sun. <all> <before> <didst>

2SA-12:13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the

LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away

thy sin; thou shalt not die. <against> <also> <away> <david>

2SA-12:14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great

occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also

[that is] born unto thee shall surely die. <also> <because>

2SA-12:15 And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD

struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was

very sick. <bare> <child> <david> <departed> <house> <lord>

2SA-12:16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David

fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. <all>

2SA-12:17 And the elders of his house arose, [and went] to him,

to raise him up from the earth:but he would not, neither did he

eat bread with them. <arose> <bread> <did> <earth> <eat>

2SA-12:18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child

died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the

child was dead:for they said, Behold, while the child was yet

alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our

voice:how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the

child is dead? <alive> <behold> <came> <child> <david> <day>

2SA-12:19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David

perceived that the child was dead:therefore David said unto his

servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead. <child>

2SA-12:20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and

anointed [himself] , and changed his apparel, and came into the

house of the LORD, and worshipped:then he came to his own house;

and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.

2SA-12:21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing [is] this

that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child,

[while it was] alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst

rise and eat bread. <alive> <bread> <child> <dead> <didst>

2SA-12:22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted

and wept:for I said, Who can tell [whether] GOD will be gracious

to me, that the child may live? <alive> <can> <child> <fasted>

2SA-12:23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I

bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return

to me. <again> <back> <bring> <can> <dead> <fast> <go> <him>

2SA-12:24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in

unto her, and lay with her:and she bare a son, and he called his

name Solomon:and the LORD loved him. <bare> <bathsheba> <called>

2SA-12:25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he

called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD. <because>

<sent>

2SA-12:26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of

Ammon, and took the royal city. <against> <ammon> <children>

2SA-12:27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have

fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.

2SA-12:28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together,

and encamp against the city, and take it:lest I take the city,

and it be called after my name. <after> <against> <called>

2SA-12:29 And David gathered all the people together, and went

to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. <against> <all>

<went>

2SA-12:30 And he took their king's crown from off his head, the

weight whereof [was] a talent of gold with the precious stones:

and it was [set] on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil

of the city in great abundance. <brought> <city> <crown> <forth>

2SA-12:31 And he brought forth the people that [were] therein,

and put [them] under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under

axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln:and thus

did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David

and all the people returned unto Jerusalem. <all> <ammon> <axes>

2SA-13:1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of

David had a fair sister, whose name [was] Tamar; and Amnon the

son of David loved her. <after> <amnon> <came> <david> <fair>

2SA-13:2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his

sister Tamar; for she [was] a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard

for him to do any thing to her. <amnon> <any> <do> <fell> <hard>

2SA-13:3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name [was] Jonadab, the

son of Shimeah David's brother:and Jonadab [was] a very subtle

man. <amnon> <brother> <friend> <had> <jonadab> <man> <name>

2SA-13:4 And he said unto him, Why [art] thou, [being] the

king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And

Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

2SA-13:5 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed,

and make thyself sick:and when thy father cometh to see thee,

say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me

meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see [it] , and

eat [it] at her hand. <bed> <come> <cometh> <down> <dress> <eat>

2SA-13:6 So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick:and when the

king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee,

let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my

sight, that I may eat at her hand. <amnon> <cakes> <come>

2SA-13:7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy

brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat. <brother> <david>

2SA-13:8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was

laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded [it] , and made cakes

in his sight, and did bake the cakes. <bake> <brother> <cakes>

2SA-13:9 And she took a pan, and poured [them] out before him;

but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me.

And they went out every man from him. <all> <amnon> <before>

2SA-13:10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the

chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes

which she had made, and brought [them] into the chamber to Amnon

her brother. <amnon> <bring> <brother> <brought> <cakes>

2SA-13:11 And when she had brought [them] unto him to eat, he

took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.

2SA-13:12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me;

for no such thing ought to be done in Israel:do not thou this

folly. <answered> <brother> <do> <done> <folly> <force> <him>

2SA-13:13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as

for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now

therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not

withhold me from thee. <cause> <fools> <go> <israel> <king>

2SA-13:14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice:but, being

stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. <being>

2SA-13:15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred

wherewith he hated her [was] greater than the love wherewith he

had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone. <amnon>

2SA-13:16 And she said unto him, [There is] no cause:this evil

in sending me away [is] greater than the other that thou didst

unto me. But he would not hearken unto her. <away> <cause>

2SA-13:17 Then he called his servant that ministered unto him,

and said, Put now this [woman] out from me, and bolt the door

after her. <after> <bolt> <called> <door> <him> <ministered>

2SA-13:18 And [she had] a garment of divers colours upon her:for

with such robes were the king's daughters [that were] virgins

apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the

door after her. <after> <apparelled> <bolted> <brought>

2SA-13:19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment

of divers colours that [was] on her, and laid her hand on her

head, and went on crying. <ashes> <colours> <crying> <divers>

2SA-13:20 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy

brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister:he

[is] thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained

desolate in her brother Absalom's house. <amnon> <been>

<with>

2SA-13:21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was

very wroth. <all> <david> <heard> <king> <these> <things> <very>

2SA-13:22 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good

nor bad:for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his

sister Tamar. <amnon> <bad> <because> <brother> <forced> <good>

2SA-13:23 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom

had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which [is] beside Ephraim:and

Absalom invited all the king's sons. <after> <all> <baalhazor>

2SA-13:24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now,

thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee,

and his servants go with thy servant. <behold> <beseech> <came>

2SA-13:25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not

all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him:

howbeit he would not go, but blessed him. <all> <blessed>

2SA-13:26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother

Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go

with thee? <amnon> <brother> <go> <him> <king> <let> <pray>

2SA-13:27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the

king's sons go with him. <all> <amnon> <go> <him> <let>

2SA-13:28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark

ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say

unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not:have not I

commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant. <amnon>

2SA-13:29 And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom

had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat

him up upon his mule, and fled. <all> <amnon> <arose>

2SA-13:30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that

tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's

sons, and there is not one of them left. <all> <came> <david>

2SA-13:31 Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on

the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

2SA-13:32 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother,

answered and said, Let not my lord suppose [that] they have

slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead:

for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from

the day that he forced his sister Tamar. <all> <amnon>

2SA-13:33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing

to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead:for

Amnon only is dead. <all> <amnon> <are> <dead> <heart> <king>

<think>

2SA-13:34 But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the

watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came

much people by the way of the hill side behind him. <behind>

<young>

2SA-13:35 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's

sons come:as thy servant said, so it is. <behold> <come>

2SA-13:36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of

speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up

their voice and wept:and the king also and all his servants wept

very sore. <all> <also> <behold> <came> <end> <had> <king>

2SA-13:37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of

Ammihud, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every

day. <ammihud> <david> <day> <every> <fled> <geshur> <king>

2SA-13:38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there

three years. <fled> <geshur> <so> <there> <three> <went> <years>
