2 Samuel 16:14 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 When David had passed a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, bearing two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
2 And the king said to Ziba, "Why have you brought these?" Ziba answered, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who faint in the wilderness to drink."
3 And the king said, "And where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Behold, he remains in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the house of Israel will give me back the kingdom of my father.'"
4 Then the king said to Ziba, "Behold, all that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours." And Ziba said, "I pay homage; let me ever find favor in your sight, my lord the king."
5 When King David came to Bahurim, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera, and as he came he cursed continually.
6 And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 And Shimei said as he cursed, "Get out, get out, you man of blood, you worthless man!
8 The LORD has avenged on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, your evil is on you, for you are a man of blood."
9 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and take off his head."
10 But the king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the LORD has said to him, 'Curse David,' who then shall say, 'Why have you done so?'"
11 And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Behold, my own son seeks my life; how much more now may this Benjaminite! Leave him alone, and let him curse, for the LORD has told him to.
12 It may be that the LORD will look on the wrong done to me, and that the LORD will repay me with good for his cursing today."
13 So David and his men went on the road, while Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went and threw stones at him and flung dust.
14 And the king, and all the people who were with him, arrived weary at the Jordan. And there he refreshed himself.
15 Now Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 And when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"
17 And Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"
18 And Hushai said to Absalom, "No, for whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.
19 And again, whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? As I have served your father, so I will serve you."
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your counsel. What shall we do?"
21 Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house, and all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened."
22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof. And Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one consulted the word of God; so was all the counsel of Ahithophel esteemed, both by David and by Absalom.
1 And when David H1732 was a little H4592 AMS past H5674 VQQ3MS the top H7218 of the hill , behold H2009 IJEC , Ziba H6717 the servant H5288 of Mephibosheth H4648 met H7125 him , with a couple H6776 of asses H2543 saddled H2280 , and upon H5921 them two hundred H3967 MFD loaves of bread H3899 NMS , and a hundred H3967 bunches of raisins H6778 , and a hundred H3967 of summer fruits H7019 , and a bottle H5035 of wine H3196 .
2 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Ziba H6717 , What H4100 IGAT meanest thou by these H428 PMP ? And Ziba H6717 said H559 W-VQY3MS , The asses H2543 be for the king H4428 D-NMS \'s household H1004 to ride on H7392 ; and the bread H3899 and summer fruit H7019 for the young men H5288 D-NMP to eat H398 ; and the wine H3196 , that such as be faint H3287 in the wilderness H4057 may drink H8354 .
3 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , And where H346 W-IGAT is thy master H113 \'s son H1121 ? And Ziba H6717 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , Behold H2009 IJEC , he abideth H3427 VQPMS at Jerusalem H3389 : for H3588 CONJ he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Today H3117 D-AMS shall the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 restore H7725 me the kingdom H4468 of my father H1 .
4 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS the king H4428 D-NMS to Ziba H6717 , Behold H2009 IJEC , thine are all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO pertained unto Mephibosheth H4648 . And Ziba H6717 said H559 W-VQY3MS , I humbly beseech H7812 thee that I may find H4672 VQY1MS grace H2580 NMS in thy sight H5869 , my lord H113 , O king H4428 .
5 And when king H4428 D-NMS David H1732 MMS came H935 to H5704 PREP Bahurim H980 , behold H2009 IJEC , thence H8033 M-ADV came out H3318 a man H376 NMS of the family H4940 M-CFS of the house H1004 CMS of Saul H7586 , whose name H8034 was Shimei H8096 , the son H1121 CMS of Gera H1617 : he came forth H3318 VQPMS , and cursed H7043 still as he came H3318 VQFA .
6 And he cast H5619 stones H68 at David H1732 MMS , and at all H3605 NMS the servants H5650 of king H4428 D-NMS David H1732 MMS : and all H3605 NMS the people H5971 and all H3605 NMS the mighty men H1368 D-AMP were on his right hand H3225 and on his left H8040 .
7 And thus H3541 said H559 VQQ3MS Shimei H8096 when he cursed H7043 , Come out H3318 VQI2MS , come out H3318 VQI2MS , thou bloody H1818 man H376 NMS , and thou man H376 NMS of Belial H1100 :
8 The LORD H3068 EDS hath returned H7725 VHQ3MS upon H5921 PREP-2MS thee all H3605 NMS the blood H1818 CMP of the house H1004 CMS of Saul H7586 , in whose H834 RPRO stead H8478 PREP-3MS thou hast reigned H4427 ; and the LORD H3068 EDS hath delivered H5414 W-VQQ3MS the kingdom H4410 into the hand H3027 B-CFS of Absalom H53 thy son H1121 : and , behold H2009 , thou art taken in thy mischief H7451 , because H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art a bloody H1818 man H376 NMS .
9 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Abishai H52 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , Why H4100 L-IPRO should this H2088 D-PMS dead H4191 dog H3611 curse H7043 my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS ? let me go over H5674 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , and take off H5493 his head H7218 CMP-3MS .
10 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , What H4100 IPRO have I to do with you , ye sons H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 ? so H3541 let him curse H7043 , because H3588 the LORD H3068 EDS hath said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Curse H7043 David H1732 MMS . Who H4310 W-IPRO shall then say H559 W-VQY3MS , Wherefore H4069 IPRO hast thou done H6213 so H3651 ADV ?
11 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Abishai H52 , and to H413 PREP all H3605 NMS his servants H5650 , Behold H2009 IJEC , my son H1121 , which H834 RPRO came forth H3318 VQQ3MS of my bowels H4578 , seeketh H1245 my life H5315 CFS-1MS : how much more H637 W-CONJ now H6258 ADV may this Benjamite H1145 do it ? let him alone H5117 , and let him curse H7043 ; for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS hath bidden H559 W-VQY3MS him .
12 It may be H194 ADV that the LORD H3068 EDS will look H7200 VQY3MS on mine affliction H6040 , and that the LORD H3068 EDS will requite H7725 me good H2896 NFS for H8478 NMS his cursing H7045 this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .
13 And as David H1732 MMS and his men H376 went H1980 W-VQY3MS by the way H1870 , Shimei H8096 went along H1980 on the hill H2022 \'s side H6763 over against H5980 him , and cursed H7043 W-VPY3MS as he went H1980 VQFA , and threw H5619 stones H68 at H5980 him , and cast H6080 dust H6083 .
14 And the king H4428 D-NMS , and all H3605 W-CMS the people H5971 that H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP-3MS him , came H935 W-VQY3MS weary H5889 , and refreshed themselves H5314 there H8033 ADV .
15 And Absalom H53 , and all H3605 W-CMS the people H5971 the men H376 NMS of Israel H3478 , came H935 VQQ3MP to Jerusalem H3389 , and Ahithophel H302 with H854 PREP-3MS him .
16 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when H834 Hushai H2365 the Archite H757 , David H1732 \'s friend H7463 , was come H935 VQPMS unto H413 PREP Absalom H53 , that Hushai H2365 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Absalom H53 , God save H2421 the king H4428 D-NMS , God save H2421 the king H4428 .
17 And Absalom H53 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Hushai H2365 , Is this H2088 DPRO thy kindness H2617 to thy friend H7453 ? why H4100 L-IPRO wentest H1980 thou not H3808 ADV with H854 PREP thy friend H7453 ?
18 And Hushai H2365 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Absalom H53 , Nay H3808 NADV ; but H3588 CONJ whom H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS , and this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 , and all H3605 W-CMS the men H376 NMS of Israel H3478 , choose H977 , his will I be H1961 VQY1MS , and with H854 him will I abide H3427 .
19 And again H8145 , whom H4310 L-IPRO should I H589 PPRO-1MS serve H5647 ? should I not H3808 D-NPAR serve in the presence H6440 L-CMP of his son H1121 ? as H834 K-RPRO I have served H5647 in thy father H1 NMS \'s presence H6440 L-CMP , so H3651 ADV will I be H1961 VQY1MS in thy presence H6440 L-CMP .
20 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Absalom H53 to H413 PREP Ahithophel H302 , Give H3051 VQI2MP counsel H6098 NFS among you what H4100 IGAT we shall do H6213 .
21 And Ahithophel H302 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Absalom H53 , Go H935 VQFC in unto H413 PREP thy father H1 NMS \'s concubines H6370 , which H834 RPRO he hath left H5117 to keep H8104 the house H1004 ; and all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 shall hear H8085 that H3588 CONJ thou art abhorred H887 of H854 PREP thy father H1 NMS : then shall the hands H3027 CFD of all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO are with H854 PART-2FS thee be strong H2388 .
22 So they spread H5186 Absalom H53 a tent H168 upon H5921 PREP the top H1406 of the house ; and Absalom H53 went H935 W-VQY3MS in unto H413 PREP his father H1 CMS-3MS \'s concubines H6370 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 LMS .
23 And the counsel H6098 W-CFS of Ahithophel H302 , which H834 RPRO he counseled H3289 in those H1992 D-PPRO-3MP days H3117 BD-NMP , was as H834 RPRO if a man H376 had inquired H7592 at the oracle H1697 of God H430 D-EDP : so H3651 ADV was all H3605 NMS the counsel H6098 CFS of Ahithophel H302 both H1571 CONJ with David H1732 L-NAME and H1571 CONJ with Absalom H53 .
