1

Now Joab [3097] the son [1121] of Zeruiah [6870] perceived [3045] that the king's [4428] heart [3820] [was] toward Absalom. [0053]

2

And Joab [3097] sent [7971] to Tekoah, [8620] and fetched [3947] thence a wise [2450] woman, [0802] and said [0559] unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, [0056] and put on [3847] now mourning [0060] apparel, [0899] and anoint [5480] not thyself with oil, [8081] but be as a woman [0802] that had a long [7227] time [3117] mourned [0056] for the dead: [4191]

3

And come [0935] to the king, [4428] and speak [1696] on this manner [1697] unto him. So Joab [3097] put [7760] the words [1697] in her mouth. [6310]

4

And when the woman [0802] of Tekoah [8621] spake [0559] to the king, [4428] she fell [5307] on her face [0639] to the ground, [0776] and did obeisance, [7812] and said, [0559] Help, [3467] O king. [4428]

5

And the king [4428] said [0559] unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, [0559] I [am] indeed [0061] a widow [0490] woman, [0802] and mine husband [0376] is dead. [4191]

6

And thy handmaid [8198] had two [8147] sons, [1121] and they two [8147] strove [5327] together in the field, [7704] and [there was] none to part [5337] them, but the one [0259] smote [5221] the other, [0259] and slew [4191] him.

7

And, behold, the whole family [4940] is risen [6965] against thine handmaid, [8198] and they said, [0559] Deliver [5414] him that smote [5221] his brother, [0251] that we may kill [4191] him, for the life [5315] of his brother [0251] whom he slew; [2026] and we will destroy [8045] the heir [3423] also: and so they shall quench [3518] my coal [1513] which is left, [7604] and shall not leave [7760] to my husband [0376] [neither] name [8034] nor remainder [7611] upon [6440] the earth. [0127]

8

And the king [4428] said [0559] unto the woman, [0802] Go [3212] to thine house, [1004] and I will give charge [6680] concerning thee.

9

And the woman [0802] of Tekoah [8621] said [0559] unto the king, [4428] My lord, [0113] O king, [4428] the iniquity [5771] [be] on me, and on my father's [0001] house: [1004] and the king [4428] and his throne [3678] [be] guiltless. [5355]

10

And the king [4428] said, [0559] Whosoever saith [1696] [ought] unto thee, bring [0935] him to me, and he shall not touch [5060] thee any more. [3254]

11

Then said [0559] she, I pray thee, let the king [4428] remember [2142] the LORD [3068] thy God, [0430] that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers [1350] of blood [1818] to destroy [7843] any more, [7235] lest they destroy [8045] my son. [1121] And he said, [0559] [As] the LORD [3068] liveth, [2416] there shall not one hair [8185] of thy son [1121] fall [5307] to the earth. [0776]

12

Then the woman [0802] said, [0559] Let thine handmaid, [8198] I pray thee, speak [1696] [one] word [1697] unto my lord [0113] the king. [4428] And he said, [0559] Say on. [1696]

13

And the woman [0802] said, [0559] Wherefore then hast thou thought [2803] such a thing against the people [5971] of God? [0430] for the king [4428] doth speak [1696] this thing [1697] as one which is faulty, [0818] in that the king [4428] doth not fetch home again [7725] his banished. [5080]

14

For we must needs [4191] die, [4191] and [are] as water [4325] spilt [5064] on the ground, [0776] which cannot be gathered [0622] up again; neither doth God [0430] respect [5375] [any] person: [5315] yet doth he devise [2803] means, [4284] that his banished [5080] be not expelled [5080] from him.

15

Now therefore that I am come [0935] to speak [1696] of this thing [1697] unto my lord [0113] the king, [4428] [it is] because the people [5971] have made me afraid: [3372] and thy handmaid [8198] said, [0559] I will now speak [1696] unto the king; [4428] it may be that the king [4428] will perform [6213] the request [1697] of his handmaid. [0519]

16

For the king [4428] will hear, [8085] to deliver [5337] his handmaid [0519] out of the hand [3709] of the man [0376] [that would] destroy [8045] me and my son [1121] together [3162] out of the inheritance [5159] of God. [0430]

17

Then thine handmaid [8198] said, [0559] The word [1697] of my lord [0113] the king [4428] shall now be comfortable: [4496] for as an angel [4397] of God, [0430] so [is] my lord [0113] the king [4428] to discern [8085] good [2896] and bad: [7451] therefore the LORD [3068] thy God [0430] will be with thee.

18

Then the king [4428] answered [6030] and said [0559] unto the woman, [0802] Hide [3582] not from me, I pray thee, the thing [1697] that I shall ask [7592] thee. And the woman [0802] said, [0559] Let my lord [0113] the king [4428] now speak. [1696]

19

And the king [4428] said, [0559] [Is not] the hand [3027] of Joab [3097] with thee in all this? And the woman [0802] answered [6030] and said, [0559] [As] thy soul [5315] liveth, [2416] my lord [0113] the king, [4428] none [0376] can [0786] turn to the right hand [3231] or to the left [8041] from ought that my lord [0113] the king [4428] hath spoken: [1696] for thy servant [5650] Joab, [3097] he bade [6680] me, and he put [7760] all these words [1697] in the mouth [6310] of thine handmaid: [8198]

20

To [5668] fetch about [5437] this form [6440] of speech [1697] hath thy servant [5650] Joab [3097] done [6213] this thing: [1697] and my lord [0113] [is] wise, [2450] according to the wisdom [2451] of an angel [4397] of God, [0430] to know [3045] all [things] that [are] in the earth. [0776]

21

And the king [4428] said [0559] unto Joab, [3097] Behold now, I have done [6213] this thing: [1697] go [3212] therefore, bring the young man [5288] Absalom [0053] again. [7725]

22

And Joab [3097] fell [5307] to the ground [0776] on his face, [6440] and bowed [7812] himself, and thanked [1288] the king: [4428] and Joab [3097] said, [0559] To day [3117] thy servant [5650] knoweth [3045] that I have found [4672] grace [2580] in thy sight, [5869] my lord, [0113] O king, [4428] in that the king [4428] hath fulfilled [6213] the request [1697] of his servant. [5650]

23

So Joab [3097] arose [6965] and went [3212] to Geshur, [1650] and brought [0935] Absalom [0053] to Jerusalem. [3389]

24

And the king [4428] said, [0559] Let him turn [5437] to his own house, [1004] and let him not see [7200] my face. [6440] So Absalom [0053] returned [5437] to his own house, [1004] and saw [7200] not the king's [4428] face. [6440]

25

But in all Israel [3478] there was none [0376] to be so much [3966] praised [1984] as Absalom [0053] for his beauty: [3303] from the sole [3709] of his foot [7272] even to the crown of his head [6936] there was no blemish [3971] in him.

26

And when he polled [1548] his head, [7218] (for it was at every year's [3117] [3117] end [7093] that he polled [1548] [it]: because [the hair] was heavy [3513] on him, therefore he polled [1548] it:) he weighed [8254] the hair [8181] of his head [7218] at two hundred [3967] shekels [8255] after the king's [4428] weight. [0068]

27

And unto Absalom [0053] there were born [3205] three [7969] sons, [1121] and one [0259] daughter, [1323] whose name [8034] [was] Tamar: [8559] she was a woman [0802] of a fair [3303] countenance. [4758]

28

So Absalom [0053] dwelt [3427] two full [3117] years [8141] in Jerusalem, [3389] and saw [7200] not the king's [4428] face. [6440]

29

Therefore Absalom [0053] sent [7971] for Joab, [3097] to have sent [7971] him to the king; [4428] but he would [0014] not come [0935] to him: and when he sent [7971] again the second time, [8145] he would [0014] not come. [0935]

30

Therefore he said [0559] unto his servants, [5650] See, [7200] Joab's [3097] field [2513] is near [0413] mine, [3027] and he hath barley [8184] there; go [3212] and set it [3341] on fire. [0784] And Absalom's [0053] servants [5650] set [3341] the field [2513] on fire. [0784]

31

Then Joab [3097] arose, [6965] and came [0935] to Absalom [0053] unto [his] house, [1004] and said [0559] unto him, Wherefore have thy servants [5650] set [3341] my field [2513] on fire? [0784]

32

And Absalom [0053] answered [0559] Joab, [3097] Behold, I sent [7971] unto thee, saying, [0559] Come [0935] hither, that I may send [7971] thee to the king, [4428] to say, [0559] Wherefore am I come [0935] from Geshur? [1650] [it had been] good [2896] for me [to have been] there still: now therefore let me see [7200] the king's [4428] face; [6440] and if there be [3426] [any] iniquity [5771] in me, let him kill [4191] me.

33

So Joab [3097] came [0935] to the king, [4428] and told [5046] him: and when he had called [7121] for Absalom, [0053] he came [0935] to the king, [4428] and bowed [7812] himself on his face [0639] to the ground [0776] before [6440] the king: [4428] and the king [4428] kissed [5401] Absalom. [0053]
