|
16:2
And the king said to Ziba{gr.Siba}, What meanest thou by these? and Ziba{gr.Siba}, said, The asses [are] for the household of the king to sit upon, and the loaves and the dates [are] for the young men to eat, and the wine [is] for them that are faint in the wilderness to drink. |
|
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.°° |
|
16:3
And the king said, And where [is] the son of thy master? and Ziba{gr.Siba} said to the king, Behold, he remains in Jerusalem; for he said, To-day shall the house of Israel restore to me the kingdom of my father. |
|
16:3
And the king°
said,°°
And where°
[is] thy adon'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.° |
|
16:4
And the king said to Ziba{gr.Siba}, Behold, all Mephibosheth's{gr.Memphibosthe} property [is] thine. And Ziba{gr.Siba} did obeisance and said, My lord, O king, let me find grace in thine eyes. |
|
16:4
Then said°°
the king°
to Ziba,°
Behold,°
thine [are] all°
that°
[pertained] unto Mephibosheth.°
And Ziba°
said,°°
I humbly°°
beseech°
thee [that] I may find°°
grace°
in thy sight,°
my adon,°
O king.° |

Abishai°
the son°
of Zeruiah°
unto°
the king,°
Why°
should this°
dead°°
dog°
curse°°°
my adon°
the king?°
let me go over,°°
I pray thee,°
and take off°°°
his head.° |
|
16:10
And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah{gr.Saruia}? even let him alone, and so let him curse, for the Lord has told him to curse David: and who shall say, Why hast thou done thus? |
|
16:10
And the king°
said,°°
What°
have I to do with you, ye sons°
of Zeruiah?°

Wherefore°
hast thou done°
so?°°° |

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°
Yahweh°
hath bidden°°
him. |
|
16:12
If by any means the Lord may look on my affliction, thus shall he return me good for his cursing this day. |
|
16:12

will look°°
on mine affliction,°°°
and that Yahweh°
will requite°°
me good°
for°
his cursing°
this°
day.° |

And as David°
and his men°°
went°°°
by the way,°
Shimei°
went along°°
on the hill's°
side°
over against°
him, and cursed°°
as he went,°°
and threw°°
stones°
at°
him, and cast°°
dust.° |

said°°
to°
Hushai,°

thy kindness°
to°
thy friend?°
why°

choose,°°
his will I be,°
and with°
him will I abide.°° |

serve?°°
[should I] not°
[serve] in the presence°

as°
I have served°°
in thy father's°
presence,°
so°
will I be°
in thy presence.° |

Give°°
counsel°
among you what°
we shall do.°° |

And Ahithophel{gr.Achitophel} said to Absalom{gr.Abessalom}, Go in to thy father's concubines, whom he left to keep his house; and all Israel shall hear that thou hast dishonoured thy father; and the hands of all that are with thee shall be strengthened. |
|
16:21
And Ahithophel°
said°°
unto°
Absalom,°
Go°
in°°
unto°
thy father's°
concubines,°
which°
he hath left°°°
to keep°°
the house;°
and all°
Israel°
shall hear°°
that°
thou art abhorred°°
of°
thy father:°
then shall the hands°
of all°
that°
[are] with°
thee be strong.°° |

in the sight°
of all°
Israel.° |

|
16:23
And the counsel°
of Ahithophel,°
which°
he counselled°°
in those°
days,°
[was] as°
if a man°
had enquired°°
at the oracle°
of Elohim:°
so°
[was] all°
the counsel°
of Ahithophel°
both°
with David°
and°
with Absalom.° |
