2 Samuel 1:2; 2 Samuel 1:13; 2 Samuel 2:3; 2 Samuel 2:16; 2 Samuel 2:27; 2 Samuel 2:30; 2 Samuel 2:31; 2 Samuel 3:15; 2 Samuel 3:16; 2 Samuel 4:11; 2 Samuel 6:19; 2 Samuel 8:4; 2 Samuel 8:10; 2 Samuel 9:3; 2 Samuel 10:6; 2 Samuel 11:26; 2 Samuel 12:4; 2 Samuel 12:5; 2 Samuel 12:7; 2 Samuel 13:9; 2 Samuel 13:29; 2 Samuel 14:5; 2 Samuel 14:7; 2 Samuel 14:16; 2 Samuel 14:19; 2 Samuel 14:25; 2 Samuel 15:1; 2 Samuel 15:2; 2 Samuel 15:4; 2 Samuel 15:5; 2 Samuel 15:11; 2 Samuel 15:13; 2 Samuel 15:18; 2 Samuel 15:30; 2 Samuel 16:5; 2 Samuel 16:7; 2 Samuel 16:15; 2 Samuel 16:18; 2 Samuel 16:23; 2 Samuel 17:1; 2 Samuel 17:3; 2 Samuel 17:8; 2 Samuel 17:14; 2 Samuel 17:18; 2 Samuel 17:24; 2 Samuel 17:25; 2 Samuel 18:10; 2 Samuel 18:11; 2 Samuel 18:12; 2 Samuel 18:17; 2 Samuel 18:20; 2 Samuel 18:24; 2 Samuel 18:26; 2 Samuel 18:27; 2 Samuel 19:7; 2 Samuel 19:8; 2 Samuel 19:14; 2 Samuel 19:16; 2 Samuel 19:17; 2 Samuel 19:22; 2 Samuel 19:41; 2 Samuel 19:42; 2 Samuel 19:43; 2 Samuel 20:1; 2 Samuel 20:2; 2 Samuel 20:4; 2 Samuel 20:11; 2 Samuel 20:12; 2 Samuel 20:13; 2 Samuel 20:21; 2 Samuel 20:22; 2 Samuel 21:4; 2 Samuel 21:5; 2 Samuel 21:20; 2 Samuel 23:7; 2 Samuel 23:9; 2 Samuel 23:20; 2 Samuel 23:21; 2 Samuel 24:9

2 Samuel 1:2

2 On the third day a man arrived from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him honor.

2 Samuel 1:13

13 David said to the young man who brought him the report, “Where are you from?” “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite,” he answered.

2 Samuel 2:3

3 David also took the men who were with him, each with his family, and they settled in Hebron and its towns.

2 Samuel 2:16

16 Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his dagger into his opponent’s side, and they fell down together. So that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.

2 Samuel 2:27

27 Joab answered, “As surely as God lives, if you had not spoken, the men would have continued pursuing them until morning.”

2 Samuel 2:30

30 Then Joab stopped pursuing Abner and assembled the whole army. Besides Asahel, nineteen of David’s men were found missing.

2 Samuel 2:31

31 But David’s men had killed three hundred and sixty Benjamites who were with Abner.

2 Samuel 3:15

15 So Ish-Bosheth gave orders and had her taken away from her husband Paltiel son of Laish.

2 Samuel 3:16

16 Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go back home!” So he went back.

2 Samuel 4:11

11 How much more—when wicked men have killed an innocent man in his own house and on his own bed—should I not now demand his blood from your hand and rid the earth of you!”

2 Samuel 6:19

19 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women. And all the people went to their homes.

2 Samuel 8:4

4 David captured a thousand of his chariots, seven thousand charioteers and twenty thousand foot soldiers. He hamstrung all but a hundred of the chariot horses.

2 Samuel 8:10

10 he sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Joram brought with him articles of silver, of gold and of bronze.

2 Samuel 9:3

3 The king asked, “Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?” Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet.”

2 Samuel 10:6

6 When the Ammonites realized that they had become obnoxious to David, they hired twenty thousand Aramean foot soldiers from Beth Rehob and Zobah, as well as the king of Maakah with a thousand men, and also twelve thousand men from Tob.

2 Samuel 11:26

26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.

2 Samuel 12:4

4 “Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare a meal for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the ewe lamb that belonged to the poor man and prepared it for the one who had come to him.”

2 Samuel 12:5

5 David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, “As surely as the LORD lives, the man who did this must die!

2 Samuel 12:7

7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.

2 Samuel 13:9

9 Then she took the pan and served him the bread, but he refused to eat. “Send everyone out of here,” Amnon said. So everyone left him.

2 Samuel 13:29

29 So Absalom’s men did to Amnon what Absalom had ordered. Then all the king’s sons got up, mounted their mules and fled.

2 Samuel 14:5

5 The king asked her, “What is troubling you?” She said, “I am a widow; my husband is dead.

2 Samuel 14:7

7 Now the whole clan has risen up against your servant; they say, ‘Hand over the one who struck his brother down, so that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed; then we will get rid of the heir as well.’ They would put out the only burning coal I have left, leaving my husband neither name nor descendant on the face of the earth.”

2 Samuel 14:16

16 Perhaps the king will agree to deliver his servant from the hand of the man who is trying to cut off both me and my son from God’s inheritance.’

2 Samuel 14:19

19 The king asked, “Isn’t the hand of Joab with you in all this?” The woman answered, “As surely as you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything my lord the king says. Yes, it was your servant Joab who instructed me to do this and who put all these words into the mouth of your servant.

2 Samuel 14:25

25 In all Israel there was not a man so highly praised for his handsome appearance as Absalom. From the top of his head to the sole of his foot there was no blemish in him.

2 Samuel 15:1

1 In the course of time, Absalom provided himself with a chariot and horses and with fifty men to run ahead of him.

2 Samuel 15:2

2 He would get up early and stand by the side of the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone came with a complaint to be placed before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out to him, “What town are you from?” He would answer, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.”

2 Samuel 15:4

4 And Absalom would add, “If only I were appointed judge in the land! Then everyone who has a complaint or case could come to me and I would see that they receive justice.”

2 Samuel 15:5

5 Also, whenever anyone approached him to bow down before him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him and kiss him.

2 Samuel 15:11

11 Two hundred men from Jerusalem had accompanied Absalom. They had been invited as guests and went quite innocently, knowing nothing about the matter.

2 Samuel 15:13

13 A messenger came and told David, “The hearts of the people of Israel are with Absalom.”

2 Samuel 15:18

18 All his men marched past him, along with all the Kerethites and Pelethites; and all the six hundred Gittites who had accompanied him from Gath marched before the king.

2 Samuel 15:30

30 But David continued up the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went; his head was covered and he was barefoot. All the people with him covered their heads too and were weeping as they went up.

2 Samuel 16:5

5 As King David approached Bahurim, a man from the same clan as Saul’s family came out from there. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and he cursed as he came out.

2 Samuel 16:7

7 As he cursed, Shimei said, “Get out, get out, you murderer, you scoundrel!

2 Samuel 16:15

15 Meanwhile, Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.

2 Samuel 16:18

18 Hushai said to Absalom, “No, the one chosen by the LORD, by these people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and I will remain with him.

2 Samuel 16:23

23 Now in those days the advice Ahithophel gave was like that of one who inquires of God. That was how both David and Absalom regarded all of Ahithophel’s advice.

2 Samuel 17:1

1 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “I would choose twelve thousand men and set out tonight in pursuit of David.

2 Samuel 17:3

3 and bring all the people back to you. The death of the man you seek will mean the return of all; all the people will be unharmed.”

2 Samuel 17:8

8 You know your father and his men; they are fighters, and as fierce as a wild bear robbed of her cubs. Besides, your father is an experienced fighter; he will not spend the night with the troops.

2 Samuel 17:14

14 Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice of Hushai the Arkite is better than that of Ahithophel.” For the LORD had determined to frustrate the good advice of Ahithophel in order to bring disaster on Absalom.

2 Samuel 17:18

18 But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So the two of them left at once and went to the house of a man in Bahurim. He had a well in his courtyard, and they climbed down into it.

2 Samuel 17:24

24 David went to Mahanaim, and Absalom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel.

2 Samuel 17:25

25 Absalom had appointed Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Amasa was the son of Jether, an Ishmaelite who had married Abigail , the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah the mother of Joab.

2 Samuel 18:10

10 When one of the men saw what had happened, he told Joab, “I just saw Absalom hanging in an oak tree.”

2 Samuel 18:11

11 Joab said to the man who had told him this, “What! You saw him? Why didn’t you strike him to the ground right there? Then I would have had to give you ten shekels of silver and a warrior’s belt.”

2 Samuel 18:12

12 But the man replied, “Even if a thousand shekels were weighed out into my hands, I would not lay a hand on the king’s son. In our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake. ’

2 Samuel 18:17

17 They took Absalom, threw him into a big pit in the forest and piled up a large heap of rocks over him. Meanwhile, all the Israelites fled to their homes.

2 Samuel 18:20

20 “You are not the one to take the news today,” Joab told him. “You may take the news another time, but you must not do so today, because the king’s son is dead.”

2 Samuel 18:24

24 While David was sitting between the inner and outer gates, the watchman went up to the roof of the gateway by the wall. As he looked out, he saw a man running alone.

2 Samuel 18:26

26 Then the watchman saw another runner, and he called down to the gatekeeper, “Look, another man running alone!” The king said, “He must be bringing good news, too.”

2 Samuel 18:27

27 The watchman said, “It seems to me that the first one runs like Ahimaaz son of Zadok.” “He’s a good man,” the king said. “He comes with good news.”

2 Samuel 19:7

7 Now go out and encourage your men. I swear by the LORD that if you don’t go out, not a man will be left with you by nightfall. This will be worse for you than all the calamities that have come on you from your youth till now.”

2 Samuel 19:8

8 So the king got up and took his seat in the gateway. When the men were told, “The king is sitting in the gateway,” they all came before him. Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled to their homes.

2 Samuel 19:14

14 He won over the hearts of the men of Judah so that they were all of one mind. They sent word to the king, “Return, you and all your men.”

2 Samuel 19:16

16 Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, hurried down with the men of Judah to meet King David.

2 Samuel 19:17

17 With him were a thousand Benjamites, along with Ziba, the steward of Saul’s household, and his fifteen sons and twenty servants. They rushed to the Jordan, where the king was.

2 Samuel 19:22

22 David replied, “What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? What right do you have to interfere? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? Don’t I know that today I am king over Israel?”

2 Samuel 19:41

41 Soon all the men of Israel were coming to the king and saying to him, “Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, steal the king away and bring him and his household across the Jordan, together with all his men?”

2 Samuel 19:42

42 All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “We did this because the king is closely related to us. Why are you angry about it? Have we eaten any of the king’s provisions? Have we taken anything for ourselves?”

2 Samuel 19:43

43 Then the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, “We have ten shares in the king; so we have a greater claim on David than you have. Why then do you treat us with contempt? Weren’t we the first to speak of bringing back our king?” But the men of Judah pressed their claims even more forcefully than the men of Israel.

2 Samuel 20:1

1 Now a troublemaker named Sheba son of Bikri, a Benjamite, happened to be there. He sounded the trumpet and shouted, “We have no share in David, no part in Jesse’s son! Every man to his tent, Israel!”

2 Samuel 20:2

2 So all the men of Israel deserted David to follow Sheba son of Bikri. But the men of Judah stayed by their king all the way from the Jordan to Jerusalem.

2 Samuel 20:4

4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Summon the men of Judah to come to me within three days, and be here yourself.”

2 Samuel 20:11

11 One of Joab’s men stood beside Amasa and said, “Whoever favors Joab, and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab!”

2 Samuel 20:12

12 Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the road, and the man saw that all the troops came to a halt there. When he realized that everyone who came up to Amasa stopped, he dragged him from the road into a field and threw a garment over him.

2 Samuel 20:13

13 After Amasa had been removed from the road, everyone went on with Joab to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.

2 Samuel 20:21

21 That is not the case. A man named Sheba son of Bikri, from the hill country of Ephraim, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Hand over this one man, and I’ll withdraw from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “His head will be thrown to you from the wall.”

2 Samuel 20:22

22 Then the woman went to all the people with her wise advice, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bikri and threw it to Joab. So he sounded the trumpet, and his men dispersed from the city, each returning to his home. And Joab went back to the king in Jerusalem.

2 Samuel 21:4

4 The Gibeonites answered him, “We have no right to demand silver or gold from Saul or his family, nor do we have the right to put anyone in Israel to death.” “What do you want me to do for you?” David asked.

2 Samuel 21:5

5 They answered the king, “As for the man who destroyed us and plotted against us so that we have been decimated and have no place anywhere in Israel,

2 Samuel 21:20

20 In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha.

2 Samuel 23:7

7 Whoever touches thorns uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear; they are burned up where they lie.”

2 Samuel 23:9

9 Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty warriors, he was with David when they taunted the Philistines gathered at Pas Dammim for battle. Then the Israelites retreated,

2 Samuel 23:20

20 Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.

2 Samuel 23:21

21 And he struck down a huge Egyptian. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear.

2 Samuel 24:9

9 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to the king: In Israel there were eight hundred thousand able-bodied men who could handle a sword, and in Judah five hundred thousand.
