- Absalom:
- "And it came to pass¹ afterª this,¹ that Absalomª the sonª of Davidª had a fairª sister,ª whose nameª [was] Tamar;ª and Amnonª the sonª of Davidª lovedª° her." {2Sm 13:1} + "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} + "So Absalomª fled,ª° and went²°¹ to Geshur,ª and was¹ there¹ threeª years.ª" {2Sm 13:38} + "Then saidª° Joab,ª I may not¹ tarryª° thus¹ with¹ thee.² And he tookª° threeª dartsª in his hand,ª and thrustª° them through the heartª of Absalom,ª while¹ he [was] yet aliveª in the midst¹ of the oak.ª" {2Sm 18:14} + "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 18:18} + "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} + "But the kingª coveredª°¹ his face,ª and the kingª criedª° with a loudª voice,ª O my sonª Absalom,ª O Absalom,ª my son,ª my son!ª ... And Absalom,ª whom¹ we anointedª° over¹ us, is deadª° in battle.ª Now¹ therefore why¹ speakª° ye¹ not a word of bringingª°¹ the kingª back?²°" {2Sm 19:4-10}
