2 Samuel 16

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 cumque David transisset paululum montis verticem apparuit Siba puer Mifiboseth in occursum eius cum duobus asinis qui onerati erant ducentis panibus et centum alligaturis uvae passae et centum massis palatarum et utribus vini

2 et dixit rex Sibae quid sibi volunt haec responditque Siba asini domestici regis ut sedeant et panes et palatae ad vescendum pueris tuis vinum autem ut bibat si quis defecerit in deserto

3 et ait rex ubi est filius domini tui responditque Siba regi remansit in Hierusalem dicens hodie restituet mihi domus Israhel regnum patris mei

4 et ait rex Sibae tua sint omnia quae fuerunt Mifiboseth dixitque Siba adoro inveniam gratiam coram te domine mi rex

5 venit ergo rex David usque Baurim et ecce egrediebatur inde vir de cognatione domus Saul nomine Semei filius Gera procedebat egrediens et maledicebat

6 mittebatque lapides contra David et contra universos servos regis David omnis autem populus et universi bellatores a dextro et sinistro latere regis incedebant

7 ita autem loquebatur Semei cum malediceret regi egredere egredere vir sanguinum et vir Belial

8 reddidit tibi Dominus universum sanguinem domus Saul quoniam invasisti regnum pro eo et dedit Dominus regnum in manu Absalom filii tui et ecce premunt te mala tua quoniam vir sanguinum es

9 dixit autem Abisai filius Sarviae regi quare maledicit canis hic moriturus domino meo regi vadam et amputabo caput eius

10 et ait rex quid mihi et vobis filii Sarviae dimittite eum maledicat Dominus enim praecepit ei ut malediceret David et quis est qui audeat dicere quare sic fecerit

11 et ait rex Abisai et universis servis suis ecce filius meus qui egressus est de utero meo quaerit animam meam quanto magis nunc filius Iemini dimittite eum ut maledicat iuxta praeceptum Domini

12 si forte respiciat Dominus adflictionem meam et reddat mihi bonum pro maledictione hac hodierna

13 ambulabat itaque David et socii eius per viam cum eo Semei autem per iugum montis ex latere contra illum gradiebatur maledicens et mittens lapides adversum eum terramque spargens

14 venit itaque rex et universus populus cum eo lassus et refocilati sunt ibi

15 Absalom autem et omnis populus Israhel ingressi sunt Hierusalem sed et Ahitofel cum eo

16 cum autem venisset Husai Arachites amicus David ad Absalom locutus est ad eum salve rex salve rex

17 ad quem Absalom haec est inquit gratia tua ad amicum tuum quare non isti cum amico tuo

18 responditque Husai ad Absalom nequaquam quia illius ero quem elegit Dominus et omnis hic populus et universus Israhel et cum eo manebo

19 sed ut et hoc inferam cui ego serviturus sum nonne filio regis sicut parui patri tuo sic parebo et tibi

20 dixit autem Absalom ad Ahitofel inite consilium quid agere debeamus

21 et ait Ahitofel ad Absalom ingredere ad concubinas patris tui quas dimisit ad custodiendam domum ut cum audierit omnis Israhel quod foedaveris patrem tuum roborentur manus eorum tecum

22 tetenderunt igitur Absalom tabernaculum in solario ingressusque est ad concubinas patris sui coram universo Israhel

23 consilium autem Ahitofel quod dabat in diebus illis quasi si quis consuleret Deum sic erat omne consilium Ahitofel et cum esset cum David et cum esset cum Absalom

Good News Translation GNT

1 When David had gone a little beyond the top of the hill, he was suddenly met by Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, who had with him a couple of donkeys loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred bunches of fresh fruit, and a leather bag full of wine.

2 King David asked him, "What are you going to do with all that?" Ziba answered, "The donkeys are for Your Majesty's family to ride, the bread and the fruit are for the men to eat, and the wine is for them to drink when they get tired in the wilderness."

3 "Where is Mephibosheth, the grandson of your master Saul?" the king asked him. "He is staying in Jerusalem," Ziba answered, "because he is convinced that the Israelites will now restore to him the kingdom of his grandfather Saul."

4 The king said to Ziba, "Everything that belonged to Mephibosheth is yours." "I am your servant," Ziba replied. "May I always please Your Majesty!"

5 When King David arrived at Bahurim, one of Saul's relatives, Shimei son of Gera, came out to meet him, cursing him as he came.

6 Shimei started throwing stones at David and his officials, even though David was surrounded by his men and his bodyguards.

7 Shimei cursed him and said, "Get out! Get out! Murderer! Criminal!

8 You took Saul's kingdom, and now the Lord is punishing you for murdering so many of Saul's family. The Lord has given the kingdom to your son Absalom, and you are ruined, you murderer!"

9 Abishai, whose mother was Zeruiah, said to the king, "Your Majesty, why do you let this dog curse you? Let me go over there and cut off his head!"

10 "This is none of your business," the king said to Abishai and his brother Joab. "If he curses me because the Lord told him to, who has the right to ask why he does it?"

11 And David said to Abishai and to all his officials, "My own son is trying to kill me; so why should you be surprised at this Benjaminite? The Lord told him to curse; so leave him alone and let him do it.

12 Perhaps the Lord will notice my misery and give me some blessings to take the place of his curse."

13 So David and his men continued along the road. Shimei kept up with them, walking on the hillside; he was cursing and throwing stones and dirt at them as he went.

14 The king and all his men were worn out when they reached the Jordan, and there they rested.

15 Absalom and all the Israelites with him entered Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with them.

16 When Hushai, David's trusted friend, met Absalom, he shouted, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"

17 "What has happened to your loyalty to your friend David?" Absalom asked him. "Why didn't you go with him?"

18 Hushai answered, "How could I? I am for the one chosen by the Lord, by these people, and by all the Israelites. I will stay with you.

19 After all, whom should I serve, if not my master's son? As I served your father, so now I will serve you."

20 Then Absalom turned to Ahithophel and said, "Now that we are here, what do you advise us to do?"

21 Ahithophel answered, "Go and have intercourse with your father's concubines whom he left behind to take care of the palace. Then everyone in Israel will know that your father regards you as his enemy, and your followers will be greatly encouraged."

22 So they set up a tent for Absalom on the palace roof, and in the sight of everyone Absalom went in and had intercourse with his father's concubines.

23 Any advice that Ahithophel gave in those days was accepted as though it were the very word of God; both David and Absalom followed it.
