2 Samuel 3:1 (AKJV) American King James Version

1 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
2 And to David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
3 And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
4 And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
5 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
6 And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.
7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ishbosheth said to Abner, Why have you gone in to my father's concubine?
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 to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David, that you charge me to day with a fault concerning this woman?
9 So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD has sworn to David, even so I do to him;
10 To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.
11 And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.
12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make your league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with you, to bring about all Israel to you.
13 And he said, Well; I will make a league with you: but one thing I require of you, that is, You shall not see my face, except you first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when you come to see my face.
14 And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
15 And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish.
16 And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner to him, Go, return. And he returned.
17 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, You sought for David in times past to be king over you:
18 Now then do it: for the LORD has spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
19 And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast.
21 And Abner said to David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a league with you, and that you may reign over all that your heart desires. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
23 When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What have you done? behold, Abner came to you; why is it that you have sent him away, and he is quite gone?
25 You know Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you do.
26 And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.
27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
28 And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
29 Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that has an issue, or that is a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls on the sword, or that lacks bread.
30 So Joab, and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.
32 And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dies?
34 Your hands were not bound, nor your feet put into fetters: as a man falls before wicked men, so fell you. And all the people wept again over him.
35 And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David swore, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatever the king did pleased all the people.
37 For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
38 And the king said to his servants, Know you not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
39 And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: the LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
1 Now there was H1961 W-VQY3FS long H752 AFS war H4421 between H996 PREP the house H1004 W-NMS of Saul H7586 and the house H1004 W-NMS of David H1732 MMS : but David H1732 waxed stronger and stronger H1980 , and the house H1004 W-NMS of Saul H7586 waxed H1980 weaker and weaker H1800 .
2 And unto David H1732 L-NAME were sons H1121 NMP born H3205 in Hebron H2275 B-EFS : and his firstborn H1060 was H1961 W-VQY3MS Amnon H550 , of Ahinoam H293 the Jezreelitess H3159 ;

5 And the sixth H8345 , Ithream H3507 , by Eglah H5698 David H1732 L-NAME \'s wife H802 CFS . These H428 PMP were born H3205 VWQ3MP to David H1732 L-NAME in Hebron H2275 .
6 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , while there was H1961 war H4421 between H996 PREP the house H1004 CMS of Saul H7586 and the house H1004 CMS of David H1732 MMS , that Abner H74 made himself strong H2388 for the house H1004 B-CMS of Saul H7586 .
7 And Saul H7586 had a concubine H6370 , whose name H8034 was Rizpah H7532 , the daughter H1323 of Aiah H345 : and W-VQY3MS Ish H559 W-VQY3MS - bosheth H559 W-VQY3MS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Abner H74 , Wherefore H4069 IPRO hast thou gone H935 in unto H413 PREP my father H1 \'s concubine H6370 ?
8 Then was Abner H74 very H3966 ADV wroth H2734 W-VQY3MS for H5921 PREP the words H1697 CMP of Ish H378 - bosheth , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Am I H595 PPRO-1MS a dog H3611 \'s head H7218 , which H834 RPRO against Judah H3063 do show H6213 VQY1MS kindness H2617 NMS this day H3117 D-AMS unto H5973 PREP the house H1004 CMS of Saul H7586 thy father H1 NMS , to H413 PREP his brethren H251 NMP-3MS , and to H413 PREP his friends H4828 , and have not H3808 W-NPAR delivered H4672 thee into the hand H3027 B-CFS of David H1732 MMS , that thou chargest H6485 me today H3117 D-NMS with a fault H5771 concerning this woman H802 D-NFS ?
9 So H3541 do H6213 VQY3MS God H430 EDP to Abner H74 , and more H3254 VHY3MS also H3541 , except H3588 CONJ , as H834 K-RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS hath sworn H7650 to David H1732 L-NAME , even H3588 CONJ so H3651 ADV I do H6213 VQY1MS to him ;

11 And he could H3201 not H3808 W-NPAR answer H7725 L-VHFC Abner H74 a word H1697 VQPMS again H5750 ADV , because he feared H3372 him .
12 And Abner H74 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS messengers H4397 to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS on his behalf H8478 PREP-3MS , saying H559 L-VQFC , Whose H4310 L-IPRO is the land H776 NFS ? saying H559 L-VQFC also , Make H3772 thy league H1285 with H854 PREP-1MS me , and , behold H2009 IJEC , my hand H3027 CFS-1MS shall be with H5973 PREP-2FS thee , to bring about H5437 all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 LMS unto H413 PREP thee .
13 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Well H2896 AMS ; I H589 PPRO-1MS will make H3772 a league H1285 NFS with H854 PART-2MS thee : but H389 ADV one H259 MMS thing H1697 VQPMS I H595 PPRO-1MS require H7592 of thee , that is H559 W-VQY3MS , Thou shalt not H3808 NADV see H7200 VQY2MS my face H6440 L-CMP , except H518 PART thou first H6440 L-CMP bring H935 Michal H4324 Saul H7586 \'s daughter H1323 CFS , when thou comest H935 to see H7200 L-VQFC my face H6440 L-CMP .
14 And David H1732 MMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS messengers H4397 to H413 PREP Ish H378 - bosheth Saul H7586 \'s son H1121 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Deliver H5414 me my wife H802 CFS-1MS Michal H4324 , which H834 RPRO I espoused H781 to me for a hundred H3967 foreskins H6190 of the Philistines H6430 .
15 And Ish H378 - bosheth sent H7971 W-VQY3MS , and took H3947 W-VQY3MS her from her husband H376 NMS , even from Phaltiel H6409 the son H1121 of Laish H3919 .
16 And her husband H376 went H1980 W-VQY3MS with H854 her along H1980 VQFA weeping H1058 behind H310 her to H5704 PREP Bahurim H980 . Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Abner H74 unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Go H1980 VQI2MS , return H7725 VQFC . And he returned H7725 .
17 And Abner H74 had H1961 VQQ3MS communication H1697 W-CMS with H5973 PREP the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Ye sought H1961 VQQ2MP for David H1732 MMS in times H1571 CONJ past H1571 CONJ to be king H4428 L-CMS over H5921 PREP-2MP you :

19 And Abner H74 also H1571 CONJ spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS in the ears H241 of Benjamin H1144 : and Abner H74 went H1980 W-VQY3MS also H1571 CONJ to speak H1696 in the ears H241 of David H1732 in Hebron H2275 B-EFS all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO seemed good H2896 AMS to Israel H3478 , and that seemed good H5869 B-CMP to the whole H3605 NMS house H1004 CMS of Benjamin H1144 .
20 So Abner H74 came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS to Hebron H2275 , and twenty H6242 men H376 NMP with H854 him . And David H1732 MMS made H6213 W-VQY3MS Abner H74 and the men H376 that H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP-3MS him a feast H4960 .
21 And Abner H74 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , I will arise H6965 VQI1MS and go H1980 , and will gather H6908 all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 unto H413 PREP my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS , that they may make H3772 a league H1285 NFS with H854 PART-2MS thee , and that thou mayest reign H4427 over all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO thine heart H5315 desireth H183 . And David H1732 MMS sent H7971 Abner H74 away ; and he went H1980 W-VQY3MS in peace H7965 .
22 And , behold H2009 IJEC , the servants H5650 of David H1732 and Joab H3097 came H935 VQPMS from pursuing a troop H1416 , and brought H935 in a great H7227 AMS spoil H7998 with H5973 PREP-3MP them : but Abner H74 was not H369 with H5973 PREP David H1732 MMS in Hebron H2275 B-EFS ; for H3588 CONJ he had sent him away H7971 , and he was gone H1980 W-VQY3MS in peace H7965 .
23 When Joab H3097 and all H3605 W-CMS the host H6635 that H834 RPRO was with H854 PREP-3MS him were come H935 VQQ3MP , they told H5046 Joab H3097 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner H5369 came H935 to H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , and he hath sent him away H7971 W-VPY3MS-3MS , and he is gone H1980 W-VQY3MS in peace H7965 .
24 Then Joab H3097 came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , What H4100 L-IPRO hast thou done H6213 ? behold H2009 IJEC , Abner H74 came H935 unto H413 PREP thee ; why H4100 L-IPRO is it that thou hast sent him away H7971 , and he is quite gone H1980 W-VQY3MS ?
25 Thou knowest H3045 VQQ2MS Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner H5369 , that H3588 CONJ he came H935 VQPMS to deceive H6601 thee , and to know H3045 VQQ2MS thy going out H4161 and thy coming in H4126 , and to know H3045 VQQ2MS all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO thou H859 PPRO-2MS doest H6213 .
26 And when Joab H3097 was come out H3318 W-VQY3MS from M-PREP David H1732 MMS , he sent H7971 W-VQY3MS messengers H4397 after H310 PREP Abner H74 , which brought him again H7725 from the well H953 of Sirah H5626 : but David H1732 knew H3045 it not H3808 NADV .
27 And when Abner H74 was returned H7725 to Hebron H2275 , Joab H3097 took him aside H5186 in PREP the gate H8179 to speak H1696 with H854 PREP-3MS him quietly H7987 , and smote H5221 him there H8033 ADV under the fifth H2570 rib , that he died H4191 W-VQY3MS , for the blood H1818 of Asahel H6214 his brother H251 CMP-3MS .
28 And afterward H310 when David H1732 MMS heard H8085 it , he said H559 W-VQY3MS , I H595 PPRO-1MS and my kingdom H4467 are guiltless H5355 AMS before H5973 M-PREP the LORD H3068 EDS forever H5704 from the blood H1818 of Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner H5369 :
29 Let it rest H2342 on H5921 PREP the head H7218 NMS of Joab H3097 , and on H413 W-PREP all H3605 NMS his father H1 CMS-3MS \'s house H1004 CMS ; and let there not H408 fail H3772 VNI3MS from the house H1004 of Joab H3097 one that hath an issue H2100 , or that is a leper H6879 , or that leaneth H2388 on a staff H6418 , or that falleth H5307 on the sword H2719 , or that lacketh H2638 bread H3899 NMS .
30 So Joab H3097 and Abishai H52 his brother H251 CMS-3MS slew H2026 Abner H74 , because H5921 PREP he had slain H4191 their brother H251 CMS-3MP Asahel H6214 at Gibeon H1391 in the battle H4421 .
31 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Joab H3097 , and to H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP-3MS him , Rend H7167 your clothes H899 , and gird H2296 you with sackcloth H8242 NMP , and mourn H5594 before H6440 L-CMP Abner H74 . And king H4428 David H1732 MMS himself followed H310 PREP the bier H4296 .
32 And they buried H6912 Abner H74 in Hebron H2275 B-EFS : and the king H4428 D-NMS lifted up H5375 his voice H6963 , and wept H1058 at H413 PREP the grave H6913 of Abner H74 ; and all H3605 NMS the people H5971 D-NMS wept H1058 W-VQY3MP .
33 And the king H4428 D-NMS lamented H6969 over H413 PREP Abner H74 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Died H4191 VQY3MS Abner H74 as a fool H5036 AMS dieth H4194 ?
34 Thy hands H3027 CFS-2MS were not H3808 ADV bound H631 , nor H3808 NADV thy feet H7272 put H5066 into fetters H5178 : as a man H1121 falleth H5307 before H6440 L-CMP wicked H5766 NFS men H1121 , so fellest H5307 thou . And all H3605 CMS the people H5971 wept H1058 again H3254 over H5921 him .
35 And when all H3605 CMS the people H5971 came H935 W-VQY3MS to cause David H1732 MMS to eat H1262 meat H3899 NMS while it was yet H5750 B-ADV day H3117 D-AMS , David H1732 MMS swore H7650 , saying H559 L-VQFC , So H3541 do H6213 VQY3MS God H430 EDP to me , and more H3254 VHY3MS also H3541 , if H518 PART I taste H2938 bread H3899 NMS , or H176 CONJ aught else H3605 CMS , till H6440 L-CMP the sun H8121 D-NMS be down H935 .
36 And all H3605 W-CMS the people H5971 took notice H5234 VHQ3MP of it , and it pleased them H3190 : as whatsoever H3605 K-NMS the king H4428 D-NMS did H6213 VQQ3MS pleased H2895 all H3605 CMS the people H5971 .
37 For all H3605 CMS the people H5971 and all H3605 W-CMS Israel H3478 understood H3045 W-VQY3MP that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS that H3588 CONJ it was H1961 VQQ3FS not H3808 NADV of the king H4428 to slay H4191 Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner H5369 .
38 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP his servants H5650 , Know H3045 ye not H3808 D-NPAR that H3588 CONJ there is a prince H8269 and a great man H1419 W-AMS fallen H5307 this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS in Israel H3478 ?
