2SA-1:3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he

said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

2SA-1:4 And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray

thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from

the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and

Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.

2SA-1:5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How

knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?

2SA-1:8 And he said unto me, Who [art] thou? And I answered him,

I [am] an Amalekite.

2SA-1:13 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence

[art] thou? And he answered, I [am] the son of a stranger, an

Amalekite.

2SA-1:14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to

stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?

2SA-2:1 And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of

the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?

And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall

I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.

2SA-2:20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, [Art] thou

Asahel? And he answered, I [am].

2SA-2:22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from

following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how

then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?

2SA-2:26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword

devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in

the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the

people return from following their brethren?

2SA-3:7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name [was] Rizpah, the

daughter of Aiah: and [Ishbosheth] said to Abner, Wherefore hast

thou gone in unto my father's concubine?

2SA-3:8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth,

and said, [Am] I a dog's head, which against Judah do show

kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his

brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into

the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault

concerning this woman?

2SA-3:12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf,

saying, Whose [is] the land? saying [also], Make thy league with

me, and, behold, my hand [shall be] with thee, to bring about

all Israel unto thee.

2SA-3:24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou

done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why [is] it [that] thou hast

sent him away, and he is quite gone?

2SA-3:33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner

as a fool dieth?

2SA-3:38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that

there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?

2SA-4:11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous

person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now

require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?

2SA-5:19 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up

to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And

the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver

the Philistines into thine hand.

2SA-6:9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How

shall the ark of the LORD come to me?

2SA-7:5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt

thou build me an house for me to dwell in?

2SA-7:7 In all [the places] wherein I have walked with all the

children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of

Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why

build ye not me an house of cedar?

2SA-7:18 Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and

he said, Who [am] I, O Lord GOD? and what [is] my house, that

thou hast brought me hitherto?

2SA-7:19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD;

 but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great

while to come. And [is] this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?

2SA-7:20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord

GOD, knowest thy servant.

2SA-7:23 And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people,

[even] like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to

himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things

and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou

redeemedst to thee from Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods?

2SA-9:1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the

house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?

2SA-9:2 And [there was] of the house of Saul a servant whose

name [was] Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the

king said unto him, [Art] thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant

[is he].

2SA-9:3 And the king said, [Is] there not yet any of the house

of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba

said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, [which is] lame on

[his] feet.

2SA-9:4 And the king said unto him, Where [is] he? And Ziba said

unto the king, Behold, he [is] in the house of Machir, the son

of Ammiel, in Lodebar.

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-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?

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?

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?

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-11:20 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.

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-12:18 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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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-13:13 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.

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.

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?

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.

2SA-14:5 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she

answered, I [am] indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.

2SA-14:13 And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought

such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak

this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not

fetch home again his banished.

2SA-14:19 And the king said, [Is not] the hand of Joab with thee

in all this? And the woman answered and said, [As] thy soul

liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to

the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy

servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the

mouth of thine handmaid:

2SA-14:31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto [his] house,

and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on

fire?

2SA-14:32 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee,

saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say,

Wherefore am I come from Geshur? [it had been] good for me [to

have been] there still: now therefore let me see the king's face;

 and if there be [any] iniquity in me, let him kill me.

2SA-15:2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of

the gate: and it was [so], that when any man that had a

controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called

unto him, and said, Of what city [art] thou? And he said, Thy

servant [is] of one of the tribes of Israel.

2SA-15:19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore

goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the

king: for thou [art] a stranger, and also an exile.

2SA-15:20 Whereas thou camest [but] yesterday, should I this day

make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may,

return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth [be]

with thee.

2SA-15:27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, [Art not]

thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons

with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

2SA-15:35 And [hast thou] not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar

the priests? therefore it shall be, [that] what thing soever

thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell [it] to

Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

2SA-16:2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by

these? And Ziba said, The asses [be] for the king's household to

ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat;

 and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.

2SA-16:3 And the king said, And where [is] thy master's son? And

Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he

said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of

my father.

2SA-16:9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why

should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I

pray thee, and take off his head.

2SA-16:10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons

of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto

him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done

so?

2SA-16:11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants,

Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life:

how much more now [may this] Benjamite [do it]? let him alone,

and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.

2SA-16:17 And Absalom said to Hushai, [Is] this thy kindness to

thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?

2SA-16:19 And again, whom should I serve? [should I] not [serve]

in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's

presence, so will I be in thy presence.

2SA-17:6 And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto

him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we

do [after] his saying? if not; speak thou.

2SA-17:20 And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the

house, they said, Where [is] Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman

said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when

they had sought and could not find [them], they returned to

Jerusalem.

2SA-18:11 And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold,

thou sawest [him], and why didst thou not smite him there to the

ground? And I would have given thee ten [shekels] of silver, and

a girdle.

2SA-18:22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab,

But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And

Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou

hast no tidings ready?

2SA-18:29 And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And

Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and [me]

thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what [it was].

2SA-18:32 And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom

safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and

all that rise against thee to do [thee] hurt, be as [that] young

man [is].

2SA-19:10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in

battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the

king back?

2SA-19:11 And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the

priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are

ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the

speech of all Israel is come to the king, [even] to his house.

2SA-19:12 Ye [are] my brethren, ye [are] my bones and my flesh:

wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?

2SA-19:13 And say ye to Amasa, [Art] thou not of my bone, and of

my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain

of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.

2SA-19:21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said,

Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the

LORD'S anointed?

2SA-19:22 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of

Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall

there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I

know that I [am] this day king over Israel?

2SA-19:25 And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to

meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest

not thou with me, Mephibosheth?

2SA-19:28 For all [of] my father's house were but dead men

before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among

them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have

I yet to cry any more unto the king?

2SA-19:29 And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more

of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.

2SA-19:34 And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to

live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?

2SA-19:35 I [am] this day fourscore years old: [and] can I

discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat

or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men

and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a

burden unto my lord the king?

2SA-19:36 Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the

king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a

reward?

2SA-19:41 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king,

and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah

stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household,

and all David's men with him, over Jordan?

2SA-19:42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel,

Because the king [is] near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye

angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's

[cost]? or hath he given us any gift?

2SA-19:43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and

said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more

[right] in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our

advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And

the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the

men of Israel.

2SA-20:9 And Joab said to Amasa, [Art] thou in health, my

brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to

kiss him.

2SA-20:17 And when he was come near unto her, the woman said,

[Art] thou Joab? And he answered, I [am he]. Then she said unto

him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do

hear.

2SA-20:19 I [am one of them that are] peaceable [and] faithful

in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel:

 why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?

2SA-21:3 Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I

do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye

may bless the inheritance of the LORD?

2SA-22:32 For who [is] God, save the LORD? and who [is] a rock,

save our God?

2SA-23:17 And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should

do this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went in

jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These

things did these three mighty men.

2SA-23:19 Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was

their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the [first] three.

2SA-24:3 And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add

unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and

that the eyes of my lord the king may see [it]: but why doth my

lord the king delight in this thing?

2SA-24:13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him,

Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt

thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue

thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now

advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.

2SA-24:17 And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel

that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have

done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine

hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.

2SA-24:21 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come

to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of

thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be

stayed from the people.
