2 Samuel 1:4; 2 Samuel 3:8; 2 Samuel 3:11; 2 Samuel 3:13; 2 Samuel 3:17; 2 Samuel 7:4; 2 Samuel 7:7; 2 Samuel 7:17; 2 Samuel 7:21; 2 Samuel 7:25; 2 Samuel 7:28; 2 Samuel 11:18; 2 Samuel 11:19; 2 Samuel 11:25; 2 Samuel 11:27; 2 Samuel 12:6; 2 Samuel 12:9; 2 Samuel 12:12; 2 Samuel 12:14; 2 Samuel 12:21; 2 Samuel 13:20; 2 Samuel 13:21; 2 Samuel 13:22; 2 Samuel 13:33; 2 Samuel 13:35; 2 Samuel 14:3; 2 Samuel 14:12; 2 Samuel 14:13; 2 Samuel 14:15; 2 Samuel 14:17; 2 Samuel 14:18; 2 Samuel 14:19; 2 Samuel 14:20; 2 Samuel 14:21; 2 Samuel 14:22; 2 Samuel 15:3; 2 Samuel 15:6; 2 Samuel 15:28; 2 Samuel 15:35; 2 Samuel 15:36; 2 Samuel 17:4; 2 Samuel 17:6; 2 Samuel 17:19; 2 Samuel 18:5; 2 Samuel 18:13; 2 Samuel 19:11; 2 Samuel 19:29; 2 Samuel 19:42; 2 Samuel 19:43; 2 Samuel 20:17; 2 Samuel 20:21; 2 Samuel 22:1; 2 Samuel 23:1; 2 Samuel 24:4; 2 Samuel 24:11; 2 Samuel 24:13; 2 Samuel 24:19

2 Samuel 1:4

4 “What happened?” David asked. “Tell me.” “The men fled from the battle,” he replied. “Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.”

2 Samuel 3:8

8 Abner was very angry because of what Ish-Bosheth said. So he answered, “Am I a dog’s head—on Judah’s side? This very day I am loyal to the house of your father Saul and to his family and friends. I haven’t handed you over to David. Yet now you accuse me of an offense involving this woman!

2 Samuel 3:11

11 Ish-Bosheth did not dare to say another word to Abner, because he was afraid of him.

2 Samuel 3:13

13 “Good,” said David. “I will make an agreement with you. But I demand one thing of you: Do not come into my presence unless you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me.”

2 Samuel 3:17

17 Abner conferred with the elders of Israel and said, “For some time you have wanted to make David your king.

2 Samuel 7:4

4 But that night the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying:

2 Samuel 7:7

7 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?” ’

2 Samuel 7:17

17 Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.

2 Samuel 7:21

21 For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant.

2 Samuel 7:25

25 “And now, LORD God, keep forever the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised,

2 Samuel 7:28

28 Sovereign LORD, you are God! Your covenant is trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant.

2 Samuel 11:18

18 Joab sent David a full account of the battle.

2 Samuel 11:19

19 He instructed the messenger: “When you have finished giving the king this account of the battle,

2 Samuel 11:25

25 David told the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Don’t let this upset you; the sword devours one as well as another. Press the attack against the city and destroy it.’ Say this to encourage Joab.”

2 Samuel 11:27

27 After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the LORD.

2 Samuel 12:6

6 He must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a thing and had no pity.”

2 Samuel 12:9

9 Why did you despise the word of the LORD by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.

2 Samuel 12:12

12 You did it in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’ ”

2 Samuel 12:14

14 But because by doing this you have shown utter contempt for the LORD, the son born to you will die.”

2 Samuel 12:21

21 His attendants asked him, “Why are you acting this way? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but now that the child is dead, you get up and eat!”

2 Samuel 13:20

20 Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has that Amnon, your brother, been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister; he is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” And Tamar lived in her brother Absalom’s house, a desolate woman.

2 Samuel 13:21

21 When King David heard all this, he was furious.

2 Samuel 13:22

22 And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad; he hated Amnon because he had disgraced his sister Tamar.

2 Samuel 13:33

33 My lord the king should not be concerned about the report that all the king’s sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”

2 Samuel 13:35

35 Jonadab said to the king, “See, the king’s sons have come; it has happened just as your servant said.”

2 Samuel 14:3

3 Then go to the king and speak these words to him.” And Joab put the words in her mouth.

2 Samuel 14:12

12 Then the woman said, “Let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.” “Speak,” he replied.

2 Samuel 14:13

13 The woman said, “Why then have you devised a thing like this against the people of God? When the king says this, does he not convict himself, for the king has not brought back his banished son?

2 Samuel 14:15

15 “And now I have come to say this to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. Your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king; perhaps he will grant his servant’s request.

2 Samuel 14:17

17 “And now your servant says, ‘May the word of my lord the king secure my inheritance, for my lord the king is like an angel of God in discerning good and evil. May the LORD your God be with you.’ ”

2 Samuel 14:18

18 Then the king said to the woman, “Don’t keep from me the answer to what I am going to ask you.” “Let my lord the king speak,” the woman said.

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 14:20

20 Your servant Joab did this to change the present situation. My lord has wisdom like that of an angel of God—he knows everything that happens in the land.”

2 Samuel 14:21

21 The king said to Joab, “Very well, I will do it. Go, bring back the young man Absalom.”

2 Samuel 14:22

22 Joab fell with his face to the ground to pay him honor, and he blessed the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that he has found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, because the king has granted his servant’s request.”

2 Samuel 15:3

3 Then Absalom would say to him, “Look, your claims are valid and proper, but there is no representative of the king to hear you.”

2 Samuel 15:6

6 Absalom behaved in this way toward all the Israelites who came to the king asking for justice, and so he stole the hearts of the people of Israel.

2 Samuel 15:28

28 I will wait at the fords in the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”

2 Samuel 15:35

35 Won’t the priests Zadok and Abiathar be there with you? Tell them anything you hear in the king’s palace.

2 Samuel 15:36

36 Their two sons, Ahimaaz son of Zadok and Jonathan son of Abiathar, are there with them. Send them to me with anything you hear.”

2 Samuel 17:4

4 This plan seemed good to Absalom and to all the elders of Israel.

2 Samuel 17:6

6 When Hushai came to him, Absalom said, “Ahithophel has given this advice. Should we do what he says? If not, give us your opinion.”

2 Samuel 17:19

19 His wife took a covering and spread it out over the opening of the well and scattered grain over it. No one knew anything about it.

2 Samuel 18:5

5 The king commanded Joab, Abishai and Ittai, “Be gentle with the young man Absalom for my sake.” And all the troops heard the king giving orders concerning Absalom to each of the commanders.

2 Samuel 18:13

13 And if I had put my life in jeopardy —and nothing is hidden from the king—you would have kept your distance from me.”

2 Samuel 19:11

11 King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests: “Ask the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to bring the king back to his palace, since what is being said throughout Israel has reached the king at his quarters?

2 Samuel 19:29

29 The king said to him, “Why say more? I order you and Ziba to divide the land.”

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 20:17

17 He went toward her, and she asked, “Are you Joab?” “I am,” he answered. She said, “Listen to what your servant has to say.” “I’m listening,” he said.

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 22:1

1 David sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

2 Samuel 23:1

1 These are the last words of David: “The inspired utterance of David son of Jesse, the utterance of the man exalted by the Most High, the man anointed by the God of Jacob, the hero of Israel’s songs:

2 Samuel 24:4

4 The king’s word, however, overruled Joab and the army commanders; so they left the presence of the king to enroll the fighting men of Israel.

2 Samuel 24:11

11 Before David got up the next morning, the word of the LORD had come to Gad the prophet, David’s seer:

2 Samuel 24:13

13 So Gad went to David and said to him, “Shall there come on you three years of famine in your land? Or three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you? Or three days of plague in your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should answer the one who sent me.”

2 Samuel 24:19

19 So David went up, as the LORD had commanded through Gad.
