rsv@2Samuel:10:14 @ And when the Ammonites saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abi'shai, and entered the city. Then Jo'ab returned from fighting against the Ammonites, and came to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:11:1 @ In the spring of the year, the time when kings go forth to battle, David sent Jo'ab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they ravaged the Ammonites, and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:13:1 @ Now Ab'salom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and after a time Amnon, David's son, loved her.

rsv@2Samuel:13:4 @ And he said to him, "O son of the king, why are you so haggard morning after morning? Will you not tell me?" Amnon said to him, "I love Tamar, my brother Ab'salom's sister."

rsv@2Samuel:13:20 @ And her brother Ab'salom said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? Now hold your peace, my sister; he is your brother; do not take this to heart." So Tamar dwelt, a desolate woman, in her brother Ab'salom's house.

rsv@2Samuel:13:22 @ But Ab'salom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Ab'salom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

rsv@2Samuel:13:23 @ After two full years Ab'salom had sheepshearers at Ba'al-ha'zor, which is near E'phraim, and Ab'salom invited all the king's sons.

rsv@2Samuel:13:25 @ But the king said to Ab'salom, "No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you." He pressed him, but he would not go but gave him his blessing.

rsv@2Samuel:13:26 @ Then Ab'salom said, "If not, pray let my brother Amnon go with us." And the king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"

rsv@2Samuel:13:27 @ But Ab'salom pressed him until he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

rsv@2Samuel:13:28 @ Then Ab'salom commanded his servants, "Mark when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, `Strike Amnon,' then kill him. Fear not; have I not commanded you? Be courageous and be valiant."

rsv@2Samuel:13:29 @ So the servants of Ab'salom did to Amnon as Ab'salom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and each mounted his mule and fled.

rsv@2Samuel:13:30 @ While they were on the way, tidings came to David, "Ab'salom has slain all the king's sons, and not one of them is left."

rsv@2Samuel:13:32 @ But Jon'adab the son of Shim'e-ah, David's brother, said, "Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king's sons, for Amnon alone is dead, for by the command of Ab'salom this has been determined from the day he forced his sister Tamar.

rsv@2Samuel:13:34 @ But Ab'salom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, many people were coming from the Horona'im road by the side of the mountain.

rsv@2Samuel:13:37 @ But Ab'salom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammi'hud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son day after day.

rsv@2Samuel:13:38 @ So Ab'salom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

rsv@2Samuel:13:39 @ And the spirit of the king longed to go forth to Ab'salom; for he was comforted about Amnon, seeing he was dead.

rsv@2Samuel:14:1 @ Now Jo'ab the son of Zeru'iah perceived that the king's heart went out to Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:14:21 @ Then the king said to Jo'ab, "Behold now, I grant this; go, bring back the young man Ab'salom."

rsv@2Samuel:14:23 @ So Jo'ab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Ab'salom to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:14:24 @ And the king said, "Let him dwell apart in his own house; he is not to come into my presence." So Ab'salom dwelt apart in his own house, and did not come into the king's presence.

rsv@2Samuel:14:25 @ Now in all Israel there was no one so much to be praised for his beauty as Ab'salom; from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

rsv@2Samuel:14:27 @ There were born to Ab'salom three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a beautiful woman.

rsv@2Samuel:14:28 @ So Ab'salom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, without coming into the king's presence.

rsv@2Samuel:14:29 @ Then Ab'salom sent for Jo'ab, to send him to the king; but Jo'ab would not come to him. And he sent a second time, but Jo'ab would not come.

rsv@2Samuel:14:30 @ Then he said to his servants, "See, Jo'ab's field is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire." So Ab'salom's servants set the field on fire.

rsv@2Samuel:14:31 @ Then Jo'ab arose and went to Ab'salom at his house, and said to him, "Why have your servants set my field on fire?"

rsv@2Samuel:14:32 @ Ab'salom answered Jo'ab, "Behold, I sent word to you, `Come here, that I may send you to the king, to ask, "Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still." Now therefore let me go into the presence of the king; and if there is guilt in me, let him kill me.'"

rsv@2Samuel:14:33 @ Then Jo'ab went to the king, and told him; and he summoned Ab'salom. So he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:15:1 @ After this Ab'salom got himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

rsv@2Samuel:15:2 @ And Ab'salom used to rise early and stand beside the way of the gate; and when any man had a suit to come before the king for judgment, Ab'salom would call to him, and say, "From what city are you?" And when he said, "Your servant is of such and such a tribe in Israel,"

rsv@2Samuel:15:3 @ Ab'salom would say to him, "See, your claims are good and right; but there is no man deputed by the king to hear you."

rsv@2Samuel:15:4 @ Ab'salom said moreover, "Oh that I were judge in the land! Then every man with a suit or cause might come to me, and I would give him justice."

rsv@2Samuel:15:6 @ Thus Ab'salom did to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Ab'salom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

rsv@2Samuel:15:7 @ And at the end of four years Ab'salom said to the king, "Pray let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.

rsv@2Samuel:15:8 @ For your servant vowed a vow while I dwelt at Geshur in Aram, saying, `If the LORD will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will offer worship to the LORD.'"

rsv@2Samuel:15:10 @ But Ab'salom sent secret messengers throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then say, `Ab'salom is king at Hebron!'"

rsv@2Samuel:15:11 @ With Ab'salom went two hundred men from Jerusalem who were invited guests, and they went in their simplicity, and knew nothing.

rsv@2Samuel:15:12 @ And while Ab'salom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahith'ophel the Gi'lonite, David's counselor, from his city Giloh. And the conspiracy grew strong, and the people with Ab'salom kept increasing.

rsv@2Samuel:15:13 @ And a messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Ab'salom."

rsv@2Samuel:15:14 @ Then David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee; or else there will be no escape for us from Ab'salom; go in haste, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword."

rsv@2Samuel:15:29 @ So Zadok and Abi'athar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem; and they remained there.

rsv@2Samuel:15:31 @ And it was told David, "Ahith'ophel is among the conspirators with Ab'salom." And David said, "O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahith'ophel into foolishness."

rsv@2Samuel:15:34 @ But if you return to the city, and say to Ab'salom, `I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father's servant in time past, so now I will be your servant,' then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahith'ophel.

rsv@2Samuel:15:37 @ So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city, just as Ab'salom was entering Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:16:3 @ And the king said, "And where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Behold, he remains in Jerusalem; for he said, `Today the house of Israel will give me back the kingdom of my father.'"

rsv@2Samuel:16:8 @ The LORD has avenged upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Ab'salom. See, your ruin is on you; for you are a man of blood."

rsv@2Samuel:16:15 @ Now Ab'salom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahith'ophel with him.

rsv@2Samuel:16:16 @ And when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Ab'salom, Hushai said to Ab'salom, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"

rsv@2Samuel:16:17 @ And Ab'salom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"

rsv@2Samuel:16:18 @ And Hushai said to Ab'salom, "No; for whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

rsv@2Samuel:16:20 @ Then Ab'salom said to Ahith'ophel, "Give your counsel; what shall we do?"

rsv@2Samuel:16:21 @ Ahith'ophel said to Ab'salom, "Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you have made yourself odious to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened."

rsv@2Samuel:16:22 @ So they pitched a tent for Ab'salom upon the roof; and Ab'salom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

rsv@2Samuel:16:23 @ Now in those days the counsel which Ahith'ophel gave was as if one consulted the oracle of God; so was all the counsel of Ahith'ophel esteemed, both by David and by Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:17:1 @ Moreover Ahith'ophel said to Ab'salom, "Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will set out and pursue David tonight.

rsv@2Samuel:17:4 @ And the advice pleased Ab'salom and all the elders of Israel.

rsv@2Samuel:17:5 @ Then Ab'salom said, "Call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say."

rsv@2Samuel:17:6 @ And when Hushai came to Ab'salom, Ab'salom said to him, "Thus has Ahith'ophel spoken; shall we do as he advises? If not, you speak."

rsv@2Samuel:17:7 @ Then Hushai said to Ab'salom, "This time the counsel which Ahith'ophel has given is not good."

rsv@2Samuel:17:9 @ Behold, even now he has hidden himself in one of the pits, or in some other place. And when some of the people fall at the first attack, whoever hears it will say, `There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Ab'salom.'

rsv@2Samuel:17:14 @ And Ab'salom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahith'ophel." For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahith'ophel, so that the LORD might bring evil upon Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:17:15 @ Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abi'athar the priests, "Thus and so did Ahith'ophel counsel Ab'salom and the elders of Israel; and thus and so have I counseled.

rsv@2Samuel:17:18 @ But a lad saw them, and told Ab'salom; so both of them went away quickly, and came to the house of a man at Bahu'rim, who had a well in his courtyard; and they went down into it.

rsv@2Samuel:17:20 @ When Ab'salom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, "Where are Ahim'a-az and Jonathan?" And the woman said to them, "They have gone over the brook of water." And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:17:24 @ Then David came to Mahana'im. And Ab'salom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel.

rsv@2Samuel:17:25 @ Now Ab'salom had set Ama'sa over the army instead of Jo'ab. Ama'sa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ish'maelite, who had married Ab'igal the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeru'iah, Jo'ab's mother.

rsv@2Samuel:17:26 @ And Israel and Ab'salom encamped in the land of Gilead.

rsv@2Samuel:18:5 @ And the king ordered Jo'ab and Abi'shai and It'tai, "Deal gently for my sake with the young man Ab'salom." And all the people heard when the king gave orders to all the commanders about Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:18:9 @ And Ab'salom chanced to meet the servants of David. Ab'salom was riding upon his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak, and his head caught fast in the oak, and he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him went on.

rsv@2Samuel:18:10 @ And a certain man saw it, and told Jo'ab, "Behold, I saw Ab'salom hanging in an oak."

rsv@2Samuel:18:12 @ But the man said to Jo'ab, "Even if I felt in my hand the weight of a thousand pieces of silver, I would not put forth my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abi'shai and It'tai, `For my sake protect the young man Ab'salom.'

rsv@2Samuel:18:14 @ Jo'ab said, "I will not waste time like this with you." And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Ab'salom, while he was still alive in the oak.

rsv@2Samuel:18:15 @ And ten young men, Jo'ab's armor-bearers, surrounded Ab'salom and struck him, and killed him.

rsv@2Samuel:18:17 @ And they took Ab'salom, and threw him into a great pit in the forest, and raised over him a very great heap of stones; and all Israel fled every one to his own home.

rsv@2Samuel:18:18 @ Now Ab'salom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself the pillar which is in the King's Valley, for he said, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance"; he called the pillar after his own name, and it is called Ab'salom's monument to this day.

rsv@2Samuel:18:29 @ And the king said, "Is it well with the young man Ab'salom?" Ahi'ma-az answered, "When Jo'ab sent your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I do not know what it was."

rsv@2Samuel:18:32 @ The king said to the Cushite, "Is it well with the young man Ab'salom?" And the Cushite answered, "May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you for evil, be like that young man."

rsv@2Samuel:18:33 @ And the king was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept; and as he went, he said, "O my son Ab'salom, my son, my son Ab'salom! Would I had died instead of you, O Ab'salom, my son, my son!"

rsv@2Samuel:19:1 @ It was told Jo'ab, "Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Ab'salom."

rsv@2Samuel:19:4 @ The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, "O my son Ab'salom, O Ab'salom, my son, my son!"

rsv@2Samuel:19:6 @ because you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have made it clear today that commanders and servants are nothing to you; for today I perceive that if Ab'salom were alive and all of us were dead today, then you would be pleased.

rsv@2Samuel:19:9 @ And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies, and saved us from the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land from Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:19:10 @ But Ab'salom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?"
