rotherham@2Samuel:2:9 @ and made him king for Gilead, and for the Ashurites, and for Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over, all Israel.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:10 @ Forty years old, was Ish-bosheth son of Saul, when he began to reign over Israel, and, two years, reigned he, but, the house of Judah, followed David.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:11 @ And it came to pass, that, the number of the days that David was king in Hebron, over the house of Judah, was seven years and six months.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:12 @ And Abner son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth, son of Saul, came out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:13 @ And, Joab son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out from Hebron and met, by the pool of Gibeon, together, and they sat down, these, by the pool, on the one side, and, those, by the pool, on the other side.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:14 @ Then said Abner unto Joab, Let the young men arise, I pray thee, and make sport before us. And Joab said Let them arise.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:15 @ Then there arose, and went over by number, twelve of Benjamin, pertaining to Ish-bosheth, son of Saul, and twelve, of the servants of David.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:16 @ And they caught every one his fellow by the head, with his sword in his fellows side, so they fell, together, and that place was called Helkath-hazzadim, which is in Gideon. \fs15
rotherham@2Samuel:2:17 @ So the battle became exceeding obstinate, on that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated before the servants of David.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:18 @ Now there were there, three sons of Zeruiah, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel, and, Asahel, was light of foot as a wild gazelle.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:19 @ And Asahel pursued Abner, and turned not, in going, to the right hand or to the left, from pursuing Abner.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:20 @ Then Abner looked behind him, and said Art thou Asahel? And he said I am.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:21 @ Then Abner said to him Turn thee aside, to thy right hand, or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from pursuing him.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:22 @ And Abner said, yet again, unto Asahel, Turn thee aside from pursuing me, wherefore should I smite thee to the earth? how then should I lift up my face unto Joab, thy brother?
rotherham@2Samuel:2:23 @ Howbeit he refused to turn aside, wherefore Abner smote him with the hinder end of the spear, in the belly, that the spear came out behind him, and he fell there, and died on the spot, and so it was, that, as many as came up to the place where Asahel fell and died, stood still.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:24 @ Then Joab and Abishai pursued Abner, but, the sun, had gone in by the time, they, had come as far as the hill of Ammah, that overlooketh Giah, by way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:25 @ And, when the sons of Benjamin had gathered themselves together after Abner, and become one band, and had taken their stand on the top of a certain hill,
rotherham@2Samuel:2:26 @ then Abner cried aloud unto Joab, and said To the uttermost, must the sword devour? Dost thou not well know that, bitter, shall it be, in the latter end? How long, then, wilt thou not bid the people turn back from pursuing their own brethren?
rotherham@2Samuel:2:27 @ Then said Joab As God liveth, surely, if thou hadst not spoken, then in the morning, the people would of themselves have gone up, every man from pursuing his brother.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:28 @ So Joab blew with the horn, and all the people stood still, and they neither pursued Israel further, nor fought any more.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:29 @ And, Abner and his men, journeyed through the waste plain all that night, and crossed the Jordan, and went through all the Bithron, and entered Mahanaim.
rotherham@2Samuel:2:30 @ And, Joab, returned from pursuing Abner, and, when he had gathered together all the people, there were missing of the servants of Davidnineteen men, and Asahel;

rotherham@2Samuel:20:1 @ Now, in that place, there happened to be an abandoned man, whose name, was Sheba son of Bichri, a man of Benjamin, so he blew a horn, and said We have no share in David, Nor inheritance have we in the son of Jesse, Every man to his home, O Israel!
rotherham@2Samuel:20:2 @ Then went up all the men of Israel from following David, to follow Sheba son of Bichri, but, the men of Judah, clave unto their king, from the Jordan, even as far as Jerusalem.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:3 @ And David entered into his own house, in Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and sustained them, but, unto them, went he not in, so they were shut up until the day of their death, in lifelong widowhood.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:4 @ Then said the king unto Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah, within three days, and, thou, here, take thy stand!
rotherham@2Samuel:20:5 @ So Amasa went, to assemble Judah, but he tarried beyond the fixed time, which he had appointed him.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:6 @ Then said David unto Abishai, Now, shall Sheba son of Bichri, do us more harm than Absolom, thou, take the servants of thy lord, and pursue him, lest he have got him into fortified cities, and so have escaped our eye.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:7 @ Then went out after himthe men of Joab, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, and they went out from Jerusalem, to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:8 @ When, they, were by the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa, had arrived before them. Now, Joab, was girded about with his war-coat as his upper garment, and, over it, a girdle with a sword, fastened upon his loins, in the sheath thereof, and, it, came out and fell.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:9 @ Then said Joab unto Amasa, Art thou, well, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand, to kiss him.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:10 @ Amasa not heeding the sword that was in the hand of Joab, he smote him therewith in the belly, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and him not again, and he died. So, Joab and Abishai his brother, pursued Sheba son of Bichri.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:11 @ Now, a man, stood over him, of the young men of Joab, and said Whosoever is well pleased with Joab, and whosoever pertaineth to David, let him follow Joab.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:12 @ But, Amasa, was wallowing in blood, in the midst of the highway, and, when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa, out of the highway into the field, and cast over him a garment, as soon as he saw that every man that came up to him stood still.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:13 @ When he had removed him out of the highway, every man passed on, after Joab, to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:14 @ And he passed on throughout all the tribes of Israel, unto Abel and unto Beth-maachah, and all the Berites, and they were called together, and came in, yea and followed him.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:15 @ So they came, and laid siege against him, in Abel, Beth-maachah, and they cast up a mound against the city, so that it stood within a rampart, and, all the people who were with Joab, were battering the wall to throw it down.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:16 @ Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear ye! hear ye! I pray you, say unto Joab, Come near hither, and let me speak unto thee.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:17 @ So he came near unto her, and the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he said, I am. And she said unto him, Hear thou the words of thy handmaid. And he said, I do hear.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:18 @ Then spake she, saying, They, used to speak, in former times, saying, Enquire, in Abel! And, so, they ended it.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:19 @ I, am of the peaceable among the faithful in Israel, thou, art seeking to put to death a city, and a mother in Israel, wherefore wouldst thou swallow up the inheritance of Yahweh?
rotherham@2Samuel:20:20 @ Then answered Joab and said, Far be it! far be it from me! I will neither swallow up nor lay waste.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:21 @ Not so, is the matter! but, a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba son of Bichri, his name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David, give up him alone, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Lo! his head, shall be cast unto thee, through the wall.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:22 @ So the woman came unto all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast it out unto Joab. And he blew with a horn, and they dispersed themselves from the city, every man to his home; but, Joab, returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
rotherham@2Samuel:20:23 @ And, Joab, was unto all the army of Israel, And, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites,

rotherham@2Samuel:20:26 @ Moreover also, Ira the Jairite, was chief ruler unto David.
rotherham@2Samuel:21:1 @ And there came to be a famine, in the days of David, for three years, year after year, so then David sought the face of Yahweh, and Yahweh said It respecteth Saul and his house, as to bloodshed, in that he put to death the Gibeonites.
rotherham@2Samuel:21:2 @ The king therefore called the Gibeonites, and said unto them (now, the Gibeonites, were, not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, with whom, the sons of Israel, had entered into an oath, and Saul had sought to smite them, in his jealousy for the sons of Israel and Judah)
rotherham@2Samuel:21:3 @ wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites What shall I do for you, and wherewith shall I make propitiation, so that ye may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?
rotherham@2Samuel:21:4 @ And the Gibeonites said unto him It is not a matter with us of silver or gold, with Saul or with his house, neither would we have a man put to death in Israel. And he said, What do ye say I should do for you?
rotherham@2Samuel:21:5 @ Then said they unto the king, The man who consumed us, and who thought to have destroyed us from taking a place within any of the bounds of Israel,
rotherham@2Samuel:21:6 @ let there be delivered up to usseven men of his sons, and we will crucify them unto Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh. And the king said, I, will deliver them up.
rotherham@2Samuel:21:7 @ But the king had pity upon Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, Sauls son, because of the oath of Yahweh that was between them, between David and Jonathan, Sauls son.
rotherham@2Samuel:21:8 @ So the king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, even Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai, the Meholathite;
rotherham@2Samuel:21:9 @ and delivered them up into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they crucified them in the mountain, before Yahweh, so they seven fell together, they being put to death in the first days of harvest, in the beginning of the barley harvest.
rotherham@2Samuel:21:10 @ Then Rizpah daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth, and spread it out for herself, on the rock, from the beginning of harvest, until water poured out upon them from the heavens, and suffered neither the birds of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the wild beasts of the field, by night.
rotherham@2Samuel:21:11 @ And it was told David, what Rizpah daughter of Aiah, Sauls concubine, had done.
rotherham@2Samuel:21:12 @ So David went and fetched the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the owners of Jabesh-gilead, who stole them from the broadway of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, on the day when the Philistines had smitten Saul in Gilboa;
rotherham@2Samuel:21:13 @ and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered together the bones of them who had been crucified;

rotherham@2Samuel:21:15 @ And the Philistines had yet again a war with Israel, so David went down, and his servants with him, and fought the Philistines, and David became faint.
rotherham@2Samuel:21:16 @ So, Ishbi-benob, who was of the descendants of the giant, the weight of whose spear-head, was three hundred shekels of bronze, he also being newly armed, thought to smite David;
rotherham@2Samuel:21:17 @ but Abishai son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and smote the Philistine, and slew him. Then, sware the men of David unto him, saying Thou must not go forth any more with us, to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.
