@ And when
David
was a
little
past
the
top
of the hill, behold,
Ziba
the
servant
of
Mephibosheth
met
him, with a
couple
of
asses
saddled
, and upon them two
hundred
loaves of
bread
, and an
hundred
bunches of
raisins
, and an
hundred
of summer
fruits
, and a
bottle
of
wine
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:2
@ And the
king
said
unto
Ziba
, What meanest thou by these? And
Ziba
said
, The
asses
be for the
kings
household
to ride
on
; and the
bread
and summer
fruit
for the young
men
to
eat
; and the
wine
, that such as be
faint
in the
wilderness
may
drink
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:3
@ And the
king
said
, And where is thy
masters
son
? And
Ziba
said
unto the
king
, Behold, he
abideth
at
Jerusalem
: for he
said
, To
day
shall the
house
of
Israel
restore
me the
kingdom
of my
father
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:4
@ Then
said
the
king
to
Ziba
, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto
Mephibosheth
. And
Ziba
said
, I
humbly
beseech thee that I may
find
grace
in thy
sight
, my
lord
, O
king
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:5
@ And when
king
David
came
to
Bahurim
, behold, thence came
out
a
man
of the
family
of the
house
of
Saul
, whose
name
was
Shimei
, the
son
of
Gera
: he came
forth
, and
cursed
still as he
came
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:6
@ And he
cast
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
s@.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:7
@ And thus
said
Shimei
when he
cursed
, Come
out
, come
out
, thou
bloody
man
, and thou
man
of
Belial
b@:
strkjv@2Samuel:16:8
@ The
LORD
hath
returned
upon thee all the
blood
of the
house
of
Saul
, in whose stead thou hast
reigned
; and the
LORD
hath
delivered
the
kingdom
into the
hand
of
Absalom
thy
son
: and, behold, thou art taken in thy
mischief
, because thou art a
bloody
man
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:9
@ Then
said
Abishai
the
son
of
Zeruiah
unto the
king
, Why should this
dead
dog
curse
my
lord
the
king
? let me go
over
, I pray thee, and take
off
his
head
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:10
@ And the
king
said
, What have I to do with you, ye
sons
of
Zeruiah
? so let him
curse
, because the
LORD
hath
said
unto him,
Curse
David
. Who shall then
say
, Wherefore hast thou done
so
?
strkjv@2Samuel:16:11
@ And
David
said
to
Abishai
, and to all his
servants
, Behold, my
son
, which came
forth
of my
bowels
,
seeketh
my
life
: how much more now may this
Benjamite
Ben-y@ do it? let him
alone
, and let him
curse
; for the
LORD
hath
bidden
him.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:12
@ It may be that the
LORD
will
look
on mine
affliction
, and that the
LORD
will
requite
me
good
for his
cursing
this
day
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:13
@ And as
David
and his
men
went
by the
way
,
Shimei
went
along
on the
hills
side
over
against
him, and
cursed
as he
went
, and
threw
stones
at
him, and
cast
dust
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:14
@ And the
king
, and all the
people
that were with him,
came
weary
, and
refreshed
themselves there.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:15
@ And
Absalom
, and all the
people
the
men
of
Israel
,
came
to
Jerusalem
, and
Ahithophel
with him.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:16
@ And it came to pass, when
Hushai
the
Archite
,
Davids
friend
, was
come
unto
Absalom
, that
Hushai
said
unto
Absalom
, God
save
the
king
, God
save
the
king
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:17
@ And
Absalom
said
to
Hushai
, Is this thy
kindness
to thy
friend
? why
wentest
thou not with thy
friend
?
strkjv@2Samuel:16:18
@ And
Hushai
said
unto
Absalom
, Nay; but whom the
LORD
, and this
people
, and all the
men
of
Israel
,
choose
, his will I be, and with him will I
abide
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:19
@ And
again
, whom should I
serve
? should I not serve in the
presence
of his
son
? as I have
served
in thy
fathers
presence
, so will I be in thy
presence
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:20
@ Then
said
Absalom
to
Ahithophel
,
Give
counsel
among you what we shall
do
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:21
@ And
Ahithophel
said
unto
Absalom
, Go
in
unto thy
fathers
concubines
, which he hath
left
to
keep
the
house
; and all
Israel
shall
hear
that thou art
abhorred
of thy
father
: then shall the
hands
of all that are with thee be
strong
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:22
@ So they
spread
Absalom
a
tent
upon the top of the
house
; and
Absalom
went
in
unto his
fathers
concubines
in the
sight
of all
Israel
.
strkjv@2Samuel:16:23
@ And the
counsel
of
Ahithophel
, which he
counselled
in those
days
, was as if a
man
had
enquired
at the
oracle
of
God
: so was all the
counsel
of
Ahithophel
both with
David
and with
Absalom
