- Absalom:
- "And Absalomª her brotherª saidª° unto¹ her, Hath Amnonª thy brotherª been¹ with¹ thee? but hold¹ now¹ thy peace,²° my sister:ª he¹ [is] thy brother;ª regardªª°¹ not¹ this¹ thing.ª So Tamarª remainedª° desolateª° in her brotherª Absalom'sª house.ª ... Now Absalomª had commandedª°¹ his servants,ª saying,ª° Markª° ye now¹ when Amnon'sª heartª is merry²¹ with wine,ª and when I sayª° unto¹ you, Smiteª°¹ Amnon;ª then killª° him, fearª° not:¹ have not¹ I¹ commandedª° you? be courageous,ª° and be¹ valiant.ªª" {2Sm 13:20-28} + "And the kingª said,ª° Let him turnª° to¹ his own house,ª and let him not¹ seeª° my face.ª So Absalomª returnedª° to¹ his own house,ª and sawª° not¹ the king'sª face.ª ... So Joabª cameª° to¹ the king,ª and toldª° him: and when he had calledª° for¹ Absalom,ª he cameª° to¹ the king,ª and bowedª° himself on¹ his faceª to the groundª beforeª the king:ª and the kingª kissedª° Absalom.ª" {2Sm 14:24-33} + "And it came to pass¹ after¹¹ this,²¹ that Absalomª preparedª° him chariotsª and horses,ª and fiftyª menª to runª° beforeª him. ... And all¹ his servantsª passed onª° besideª¹ him; and all¹ the Cherethites,ª and all¹ the Pelethites,ª and all¹ the Gittites,ª sixª hundredª menª which¹ cameª° afterª him from Gath,ª¹ passed onª° beforeª¹ the king.ª" {2Sm 15:1-18} + "Moreover Ahithophelª saidª° unto¹ Absalom,ª Let me now¹ choose outª° twelveªª thousandª men,ª and I will ariseª° and pursueª° afterª Davidª this night:ª ... And Absalomª and all¹ the menª of Israelª said,ª° The counselª of Hushaiª the Architeª [is] betterª than the counselª¹ of Ahithophel.ª For the LORDª had appointedª° to defeatª°¹ the goodª counselª of Ahithophel,ª to the intentª that the LORDª might bringª° evilª upon¹ Absalom.ª" {2Sm 17:1-14} + "And Absalomª metª° the servantsª² of David.ª And Absalomª rodeª° upon¹ a mule,ª and the muleª wentª° under¹ the thick boughsª of a greatª oak,ª and his headª caught holdª° of the oak,ª and he was taken upª° between¹ the heavenª and the earth;ª and the muleª that¹ [was] under¹ him went away.ª° ... Now Absalomª in his lifetimeª had takenª° and reared upª° for himself¹ a pillar,ª which¹ [is] in the king'sª dale:ª for¹ he said,ª° I have no¹ sonª to¹ keep my name² in remembrance:ª°¹ and he calledª° the pillarª after¹ his own name:ª and it is calledª° unto¹ this¹ day,ª Absalom'sª place.ª" {2Sm 18:9-18} + "And the kingª was much moved,ª° and went upª° to¹ the chamberª over the gate,ª and wept:ª° and as he went,²°¹ thus¹ he said,ª° O my sonª Absalom,ª my son,ª my sonª Absalom!ª would God¹¹ I¹ had diedª° for¹ thee,²° O Absalom,ª my son,ª my son!ª" {2Sm 18:33}
