And it came H1961 to pass after H310 this, H3651 that Absalom H53 the son H1121 of David H1732 had a fair H3303 sister, H269 whose name H8034 was Tamar; H8559 and Amnon H550 the son H1121 of David H1732 loved H157 her.

And Absalom H53 her brother H251 said H559 to her, Has Amnon H550 your brother H251 been H1961 with you? but hold H2790 now H6258 your peace, H2790 my sister: H269 he is your brother; H251 regard H3820 not this H2063 thing. H1697 So Tamar H8559 remained H3427 desolate H8076 in her brother H251 Absalom's H53 house. H1004

And Absalom H53 spoke H1696 to his brother Amnon H550 neither H3808 good H2896 nor bad: H7451 for Absalom H53 hated H8130 Amnon, H550 because H5921 he had forced H6031 his sister H269 Tamar. H8559

And Absalom H53 came H935 to the king, H4428 and said, H559 Behold H2009 now, H4994 your servant H5650 has sheep shearers; H1494 let the king, H4428 I beseech H4994 you, and his servants H5650 go H3212 with your servant. H5650

Then said H559 Absalom, H53 If H3808 not, I pray H4994 you, let my brother H251 Amnon H550 go H3212 with us. And the king H4428 said H559 to him, Why H4100 should he go H3212 with you?

Now Absalom H53 had commanded H6680 his servants, H5288 saying, H559 Mark H7200 you now H4994 when Amnon's H550 heart H3820 is merry H2896 with wine, H3196 and when I say H559 to you, Smite H5221 Amnon; H550 then kill H4191 him, fear H3372 not: have not I commanded H6680 you? be courageous, H2388 and be valiant. H1121 H2428

Then said H559 Joab, H3097 I may not tarry H3176 thus H3651 with you. And he took H3947 three H7969 darts H7626 in his hand, H3709 and thrust H8628 them through the heart H3820 of Absalom, H53 while H5750 he was yet alive H2416 in the middle H3820 of the oak. H424

Now Absalom H53 in his lifetime H2416 had taken H3947 and reared H5324 up for himself a pillar, H4678 which H834 is in the king's H4428 dale: H6010 for he said, H559 I have no H369 son H1121 to keep my name H8034 in remembrance: H2142 and he called H7121 the pillar H4678 after H5921 his own name: H8034 and it is called H7121 to this H2088 day, H3117 Absalom's H53 place. H3027

And the king H4428 was much moved, H7264 and went H5927 up to the chamber H5944 over H5921 the gate, H8179 and wept: H1058 and as he went, H3212 thus H3541 he said, H559 O my son H1121 Absalom, H53 my son, H1121 my son H1121 Absalom! H53 would H4310 H5414 God I had died H4191 for you, O Absalom, H53 my son, H1121 my son! H1121

But the king H4428 covered H3813 his face, H6440 and the king H4428 cried H2199 with a loud H1419 voice, H6963 O my son H1121 Absalom, H53 O Absalom, H53 my son, H1121 my son! H1121

In that you love H157 your enemies, H8130 and hate H8130 your friends. H157 For you have declared H5046 this day, H3117 that you regard neither H369 princes H8269 nor servants: H5650 for this day H3117 I perceive, H3045 that if H3863 Absalom H53 had lived, H2416 and all H3605 we had died H4191 this day, H3117 then H227 it had pleased H3477 H5869 you well.

Then the king H4428 arose, H6965 and sat H3427 in the gate. H8179 And they told H5046 to all H3605 the people, H5971 saying, H559 Behold, H2009 the king H4428 does sit H3427 in the gate. H8179 And all H3605 the people H5971 came H935 before H6440 the king: H4428 for Israel H3478 had fled H5127 every man H376 to his tent. H168

And Absalom, H53 whom H834 we anointed H4886 over H5921 us, is dead H4191 in battle. H4421 Now H6258 therefore why H4100 speak H2790 you not a word of bringing H7725 the king H4428 back? H7725

And he took H3947 Geshur, H1650 and Aram, H758 with the towns H2333 of Jair, H2971 from them, with Kenath, H7079 and the towns H2333 thereof, even three score H8346 cities. H5892 All H3605 these H428 belonged to the sons H1121 of Machir H4353 the father H1 of Gilead. H1568

Nevertheless the children H1121 of Israel H3478 expelled H3423 not the Geshurites, H1651 nor H408 the Maachathites: H4602 but the Geshurites H1651 and the Maachathites H4602 dwell H3427 among H7130 the Israelites H3478 until H5704 this H2088 day. H3117

So Joab H3097 arose H6965 and went H3212 to Geshur, H1650 and brought H935 Absalom H53 to Jerusalem. H3389

And Absalom H53 answered H559 Joab, H3097 Behold, H2009 I sent H7971 to you, saying, H559 Come H935 here, that I may send H7971 you to the king, H4428 to say, H559 Why H4100 am I come H935 from Geshur? H1650 it had been good H2896 for me to have been there H8033 still: H5750 now H6258 therefore let me see H7200 the king's H4428 face; H6440 and if H518 there be any iniquity H5771 in me, let him kill H4191 me.

For your servant H5650 vowed H5087 a vow H5088 while I stayed H3427 at Geshur H1650 in Syria, H758 saying, H559 If H518 the LORD H3068 shall bring H7725 me again H7725 indeed to Jerusalem, H3389 then I will serve H5647 the LORD. H3068

And the fourth, H7243 Adonijah H138 the son H1121 of Haggith; H2294 and the fifth, H2549 Shephatiah H8203 the son H1121 of Abital; H37

Then Adonijah H138 the son H1121 of Haggith H2294 exalted H5375 himself, saying, H559 I will be king: H4427 and he prepared H6213 him chariots H7393 and horsemen, H6571 and fifty H2572 men H376 to run H7323 before H6440 him.

Now H6258 therefore, as the LORD H3068 lives, H2416 which H834 has established H3559 me, and set H3427 me on H5921 the throne H3678 of David H1732 my father, H1 and who H834 has made H6213 me an house, H1004 as he promised, H1696 Adonijah H138 shall be put to death H4191 this day. H3117

And king H4428 Solomon H8010 sent H7971 by the hand H3027 of Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada; H3111 and he fell H6293 on him that he died. H4191
