2Samuel 3
King James Version Help
3Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.H752H4421H1004H7586H1004H1732H1732H1980H2390H2390H1004H7586H1980H1800H1800
2And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;H1732H1121H3205H3205H2275H1060H550H293H3159
3And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;H4932H3609H26H802H5037H3761H7992H53H1121H4601H1323H8526H4428H1650
4And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;H7243H138H1121H2294H2549H8203H1121H37
5And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.H8345H3507H5698H1732H802H3205H1732H2275
6And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.H4421H1004H7586H1004H1732H74H2388H1004H7586
7And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ishbosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?H7586H6370H8034H7532H1323H345H559H74H935H1H6370
8Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head, which against Judah do shew kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman?H74H3966H2734H1697H378H559H3611H7218H3063H6213H2617H3117H1004H7586H1H251H4828H4672H3027H1732H6485H3117H5771H802
9So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;H6213H430H74H3254H3068H7650H1732H6213
10To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.H5674H4467H1004H7586H6965H3678H1732H3478H3063H1835H884
11And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.H3201H7725H74H1697H3372
12And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee.H74H7971H4397H1732H559H776H559H3772H1285H3027H5437H3478
13And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.H559H2896H3772H1285H259H1697H7592H559H7200H6440H6440H935H4324H7586H1323H935H7200H6440
14And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines.H1732H7971H4397H378H7586H1121H559H5414H802H4324H781H3967H6190H6430
15And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish.H378H7971H3947H376H6409H1121H3889H3919
16And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned.H376H3212H1980H1058H310H980H559H74H3212H7725H7725
17And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you:H74H1961H1697H2205H3478H559H1245H1732H8543H8032H4428
18Now then do it: for the LORD hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.H6213H3068H559H1732H559H3027H5650H1732H3467H5971H3478H3027H6430H3027H341
19And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.H74H1696H241H1144H74H3212H1696H241H1732H2275H5869H2896H3478H5869H1004H1144
20So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast.H74H935H1732H2275H6242H582H1732H6213H74H582H4960
21And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.H74H559H1732H6965H3212H6908H3478H113H4428H3772H1285H4427H5315H183H1732H7971H74H7971H3212H7965
22And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace.H5650H1732H3097H935H1416H935H7227H7998H74H1732H2275H7971H3212H7965
23When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.H3097H6635H935H5046H3097H559H74H1121H5369H935H4428H7971H3212H7965
24Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?H3097H935H4428H559H6213H74H935H7971H1980H3212
25Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.H3045H74H1121H5369H935H6601H3045H4161H4126H3996H3045H6213
26And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.H3097H3318H1732H7971H4397H310H74H7725H953H5626H1732H3045
27And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.H74H7725H2275H3097H5186H413H8432H8179H1696H7987H5221H2570H4191H1818H6214H251
28And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:H310H1732H8085H559H4467H5355H3068H5704H5769H1818H74H1121H5369
29Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.H2342H7218H3097H1H1004H3772H1004H3097H2100H6879H2388H6418H5307H2719H2638H3899
30So Joab, and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.H3097H52H251H2026H74H4191H251H6214H1391H4421
31And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.H1732H559H3097H5971H7167H899H2296H8242H5594H6440H74H4428H1732H1980H310H4296
32And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.H6912H74H2275H4428H5375H6963H1058H6913H74H5971H1058
33And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?H4428H6969H74H559H4191H74H5036H4194
34Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him.H3027H631H7272H5066H5178H5307H6440H5766H1121H5307H5971H1058H3254
35And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.H3605H5971H935H1262H1732H1262H3899H5750H3117H1732H7650H559H6213H430H3254H2938H3899H3972H6440H8121H935
36And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.H5971H5234H3190H5869H4428H6213H5869H2896H5971
37For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.H5971H3478H3045H3117H4428H4191H74H1121H5369
38And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?H4428H559H5650H3045H8269H1419H5307H3117H3478
39And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: the LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.H3117H7390H4886H4428H582H1121H6870H7186H3068H7999H6213H7451
