And it came H1961 to pass, when David H1732 was come H935 to Mahanaim, H4266 that Shobi H7629 the son H1121 of Nahash H5176 of Rabbah H7237 of the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 and Machir H4353 the son H1121 of Ammiel H5988 of Lodebar, H3810 and Barzillai H1271 the Gileadite H1569 of Rogelim, H7274

And honey, H1706 and butter, H2529 and sheep, H6629 and cheese H8194 of cows, H1241 for David, H1732 and for the people H5971 that were with him, to eat: H398 for they said, H559 The people H5971 is hungry, H7456 and weary, H5889 and thirsty, H6771 in the wilderness. H4057

And Barzillai H1271 the Gileadite H1569 came H3381 down H3381 from Rogelim, H7274 and went H5674 over H5674 Jordan H3383 with the king, H4428 to conduct H7971 him over H5674 Jordan. H3383

And the king H4428 said H559 to Barzillai, H1271 Come H5674 you over H5674 with me, and I will feed H3557 you with me in Jerusalem. H3389

I am this day H3117 fourscore H8084 years H8141 old: H1121 and can I discern H3045 between H996 good H2896 and evil? H7451 can your servant H5650 taste H2938 what H853 H834 I eat H398 or H854 what H853 H834 I drink? H8354 can I hear H8085 any more H5750 the voice H693 of singing H7891 men and singing H7891 women? why H4100 then should your servant H5650 be yet H5750 a burden H4853 to my lord H113 the king? H4428

Let your servant, H5650 I pray H4994 you, turn H7725 back H7725 again, H7725 that I may die H4191 in my own city, H5892 and be buried by the grave H6913 of my father H1 and of my mother. H517 But behold H2009 your servant H5650 Chimham; H3643 let him go H5674 over H5674 with my lord H113 the king; H4428 and do H6213 to him what H853 H834 shall seem H1961 H5869 good H2896 to you.

And all H3605 the people H5971 went H5674 over H5674 Jordan. H3383 And when the king H4428 was come H5674 over, H5674 the king H4428 kissed H5401 Barzillai, H1271 and blessed H1288 him; and he returned H7725 to his own place. H4725

Your own friend, H7453 and your father's H1 friend, H7453 forsake H5800 not; neither H408 go H935 into your brother's H251 house H1004 in the day H3117 of your calamity: H343 for better H2896 is a neighbor H7934 that is near H7138 than a brother H251 far H7350 off.

And David H1732 said H559 to him, Fear H3372 not: for I will surely H3588 show H6213 you kindness H2617 for Jonathan H3083 your father's H1 sake, H5668 and will restore H7725 you all H3605 the land H7704 of Saul H7586 your father; H1 and you shall eat H398 bread H3899 at H5921 my table H7979 continually. H8548

You therefore, and your sons, H1121 and your servants, H5650 shall till H5647 the land H127 for him, and you shall bring H935 in the fruits, that your master's H113 son H1121 may have H1961 food H3899 to eat: H398 but Mephibosheth H4648 your master's H113 son H1121 shall eat H398 bread H3899 always H8548 at H5921 my table. H7979 Now Ziba H6717 had fifteen H2568 H6240 sons H1121 and twenty H6242 servants. H5650

For all H3605 of my father's H1 house H1004 were but dead H4194 men H582 before my lord H113 the king: H4428 yet did you set H7896 your servant H5650 among them that did eat H398 at your own table. H7979 What H4100 right H6666 therefore have H3426 I yet to cry H2199 any more H5750 to the king? H4428

Blessed G3107 are those G1565 servants, G1401 whom G3739 the lord G2962 when he comes G2064 shall find G2147 watching: G1127 truly G281 I say G3004 to you, that he shall gird G4024 himself, and make G347 them to sit G347 down G347 to meat, and will come G3928 forth G3928 and serve G1247 them.

You are they which have continued G1265 with me in my temptations. G3986

That you may eat G2068 and drink G4095 at G1909 my table G5132 in my kingdom, G932 and sit G2523 on G1909 thrones G2362 judging G2919 the twelve G1427 tribes G5443 of Israel. G2474

Behold, G2400 I stand G2476 at G1909 the door, G2374 and knock: G2925 if G1437 any G5100 man hear G191 my voice, G5456 and open G455 the door, G2374 I will come G1525 in to him, and will sup G1172 with him, and he with me.

To him that overcomes G3528 will I grant G1325 to sit G2523 with me in my throne, G2362 even G2504 as I also G2504 overcame, G3528 and am set G2523 down G2523 with my Father G3962 in his throne. G2362

And there came H935 a messenger H5046 to David, H1732 saying, H559 The hearts H3820 of the men H376 of Israel H3478 are after H310 Absalom. H53

And the king's H4428 servants H5650 said H559 to the king, H4428 Behold, H2009 your servants H5650 are ready to do whatever H3605 H834 my lord H113 the king H4428 shall appoint. H977
