of assesº
saddled,ºº
and uponº
them two hundredº
[loaves] of bread,º

bunches of raisins,º
and an hundredº
of summer fruits,º
and a bottleº
of wine.º |
|
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 kingº
saidºº
untoº
Ziba,º
Whatº
meanest thou by these?º
And Zibaº
said,ºº
The assesº
[be] for the king'sº
householdº
to ride on;ºº
and the breadº
and summer fruitº
for the young menº
to eat;ºº
and the wine,º
that such as be faintº
in the wildernessº
may drink.ºº |
|
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 kingº
said,ºº
And whereº
[is] thy adon'sº
son?º
And Zibaº
saidºº
untoº
the king,º
Behold,º
he abidethºº
at Jerusalem:º
forº
he said,ºº
To dayº
shall the houseº
of Israelº
restoreºº
meº
the kingdomº
of my father.º |
|
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 saidºº
the kingº
to Ziba,º
Behold,º
thine [are] allº
thatº
[pertained] unto Mephibosheth.º
And Zibaº
said,ºº
I humblyºº
beseechº
thee [that] I may findºº
graceº
in thy sight,º
my adon,º
O king.º |

Abishaiº
the sonº
of Zeruiahº
untoº
the king,º
Whyº
should thisº
deadºº
dogº
curseººº
my adonº
the king?º
let me go over,ºº
I pray thee,º
and take offººº
his head.º |
|
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 kingº
said,ºº
Whatº
have I to do with you, ye sonsº
of Zeruiah?º
soº
let him curse,ºº

David.º

Whereforeº
hast thou doneº
so?ººº |

And Davidº
saidºº
toº
Abishai,º
and toº
allº
his servants,º
Behold,º
my son,º
whichº
came forthºº
of my bowels,ºº
seekethººº
my life:º
how much moreºº
nowº
[may this] Benjamiteº
[do it]? let him alone,ººº
and let him curse;ºº
forº
Yahwehº
hath biddenºº
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. |

It may beº
that Yahwehº

me goodº
forº
his cursingº
thisº
day.º |

and his menºº
wentººº
by the way,º

saidºº
toº
Hushai,º
[Is] thisº
thy kindnessº
toº
thy friend?º
whyº

saidºº
untoº
Absalom,º
Nay;º
butº
whomº
Yahweh,º

people,º
and allº
the menº
of Israel,º
choose,ºº
his will I be,º
and withº
him will I abide.ºº |

[should I] notº
[serve] in the presenceº

asº
I have servedºº
in thy father'sº
presence,º
soº
will I beº
in thy presence.º |

Giveºº
counselº
among you whatº
we shall do.ºº |

16:21
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 Ahithophelº
saidºº
untoº
Absalom,º
Goº
inºº
untoº
thy father'sº
concubines,º
whichº
he hath leftººº
to keepºº
the house;º
and allº
Israelº
shall hearºº
thatº
thou art abhorredºº
ofº
thy father:º
then shall the handsº
of allº
thatº
[are] withº
thee be strong.ºº |

a tentº
uponº
the topº

concubinesº
in the sightº
of allº
Israel.º |

16:23
And the counselº
of Ahithophel,º
whichº
he counselledºº
in thoseº
days,º
[was] asº
if a manº
had enquiredºº
at the oracleº
of Elohim:º
soº
[was] allº
the counselº
of Ahithophelº
bothº
with Davidº
andº
with Absalom.º |
