2 Samuel 19

English Standard Version ESV

1 It was told Joab, “Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom. ”

2 So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people, for the people heard that day, “The king is grieving for his son. ”

3 And the people stole into the city that day as people steal in who are ashamed when they flee in battle.

4 The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, “O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son! ”

5 Then Joab came into the house to the king and said, “You have today covered with shame the faces of all your servants, who have this day saved your life and the lives of your sons and your daughters and the lives of your wives and your concubines,

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 know that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then you would be pleased.

7 Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the Lord, if you do not go, not a man will stay with you this night, and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now. ”

8 Then the king arose and took his seat in the gate. And the people were all told, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate. ” And all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his own home.

9 And all the people were arguing 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 Absalom.

10 But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why do you say nothing about bringing the king back? ”

11 And King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar the priests: “Say to the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to bring the king back to his house, when the word of all Israel has come to the king?

12 You are my brothers; you are my bone and my flesh. Why then should you be the last to bring back the king? ’

13 And say to Amasa, ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if you are not commander of my army from now on in place of Joab. ’”

14 And he swayed the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, so that they sent word to the king, “Return, both you and all your servants. ”

15 So the king came back to the Jordan, and Judah came to Gilgal to meet the king and to bring the king over the Jordan.

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

17 And with him were a thousand men from Benjamin. And Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, with his fifteen sons and his twenty servants, rushed down to the Jordan before the king,

18 and they crossed the ford to bring over the king’s household and to do his pleasure. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was about to cross the Jordan,

19 and said to the king, “Let not my lord hold me guilty or remember how your servant did wrong on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem. Do not let the king take it to heart.

20 For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore, behold, I have come this day, the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king. ”

21 Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, “Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the Lord’s anointed? ”

22 But David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be as an adversary to me? Shall anyone be put to death in Israel this day? For do I not know that I am this day king over Israel? ”

23 And the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die. ” And the king gave him his oath.

24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. He had neither taken care of his feet nor trimmed his beard nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came back in safety.

25 And when he came to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth? ”

26 He answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me, for your servant said to him, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go with the king. ’ For your servant is lame.

27 He has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king is like the angel of God; do therefore what seems good to you.

28 For all my father’s house were but men doomed to death before my lord the king, but you set your servant among those who eat at your table. What further right have I, then, to cry to the king? ”

29 And the king said to him, “Why speak any more of your affairs? I have decided: you and Ziba shall divide the land. ”

30 And Mephibosheth said to the king, “Oh, let him take it all, since my lord the king has come safely home. ”

31 Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim, and he went on with the king to the Jordan, to escort him over the Jordan.

32 Barzillai was a very aged man, eighty years old. He had provided the king with food while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy man.

33 And the king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will provide for you with me in Jerusalem. ”

34 But Barzillai said to the king, “How many years have I still to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

35 I am this day eighty years old. Can I discern what is pleasant and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or what he drinks? Can I still listen to the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

36 Your servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?

37 Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and my mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him go over with my lord the king, and do for him whatever seems good to you. ”

38 And the king answered, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you, and all that you desire of me I will do for you. ”

39 Then all the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over. And the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his own home.

40 The king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him. All the people of Judah, and also half the people of Israel, brought the king on his way.

41 Then all the men of Israel came to the king and said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away and brought the king and his household over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him? ”

42 All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is our close relative. Why then are you angry over this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king’s expense? Or has he given us any gift? ”

43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, “We have ten shares in the king, and in David also we have more than you. Why then did you despise us? Were we not the first to speak of bringing back our king? ” But the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 nuntiatum est autem Ioab quod rex fleret et lugeret filium suum

2 et versa est victoria in die illa in luctum omni populo audivit enim populus in die illa dici dolet rex super filio suo

3 et declinabat populus in die illa ingredi civitatem quomodo declinare solet populus versus et fugiens de proelio

4 porro rex operuit caput suum et clamabat voce magna fili mi Absalom Absalom fili mi fili mi

5 ingressus ergo Ioab ad regem in domo dixit confudisti hodie vultus omnium servorum tuorum qui salvam fecerunt animam tuam et animam filiorum tuorum et filiarum tuarum et animam uxorum tuarum et animam concubinarum tuarum

6 diligis odientes te et odio habes diligentes te et ostendisti hodie quia non curas de ducibus tuis et de servis tuis et vere cognovi modo quia si Absalom viveret et nos omnes occubuissemus tunc placeret tibi

7 nunc igitur surge et procede et adloquens satisfac servis tuis iuro enim tibi per Dominum quod si non exieris ne unus quidem remansurus sit tecum nocte hac et peius erit hoc tibi quam omnia mala quae venerunt super te ab adulescentia tua usque in praesens

8 surrexit ergo rex et sedit in porta et omni populo nuntiatum est quod rex sederet in porta venitque universa multitudo coram rege Israhel autem fugit in tabernacula sua

9 omnis quoque populus certabat in cunctis tribubus Israhel dicens rex liberavit nos de manu inimicorum nostrorum ipse salvavit nos de manu Philisthinorum et nunc fugit de terra propter Absalom

10 Absalom autem quem unximus super nos mortuus est in bello usquequo siletis et non reducitis regem

11 rex vero David misit ad Sadoc et ad Abiathar sacerdotes dicens loquimini ad maiores natu Iuda dicentes cur venitis novissimi ad reducendum regem in domum suam sermo autem omnis Israhel pervenerat ad regem in domo eius

12 fratres mei vos os meum et caro mea vos quare novissimi reducitis regem

13 et Amasae dicite nonne os meum es et caro mea haec faciat mihi Deus et haec addat si non magister militiae fueris coram me omni tempore pro Ioab

14 et inclinavit cor omnium virorum Iuda quasi viri unius miseruntque ad regem dicentes revertere tu et omnes servi tui

15 et reversus est rex et venit usque ad Iordanem et Iuda venit in Galgala ut occurreret regi et transduceret eum Iordanem

16 festinavit autem Semei filius Gera filii Iemini de Baurim et descendit cum viris Iuda in occursum regis David

17 cum mille viris de Beniamin et Siba puer de domo Saul et quindecim filii eius ac viginti servi erant cum eo et inrumpentes Iordanem ante regem

18 transierunt vada ut transducerent domum regis et facerent iuxta iussionem eius Semei autem filius Gera prostratus coram rege cum iam transisset Iordanem

19 dixit ad eum ne reputes mihi domine mi iniquitatem neque memineris iniuriam servi tui in die qua egressus es domine mi rex de Hierusalem neque ponas rex in corde tuo

20 agnosco enim servus tuus peccatum meum et idcirco hodie primus veni de omni domo Ioseph descendique in occursum domini mei regis

21 respondens vero Abisai filius Sarviae dixit numquid pro his verbis non occidetur Semei quia maledixit christo Domini

22 et ait David quid mihi et vobis filii Sarviae cur efficimini mihi hodie in Satan ergone hodie interficietur vir in Israhel an ignoro hodie me factum regem super Israhel

23 et ait rex Semei non morieris iuravitque ei

24 Mifiboseth quoque filius Saul descendit in occursum regis inlotis pedibus et intonsa barba vestesque suas non laverat a die qua egressus fuerat rex usque ad diem reversionis eius in pace

25 cumque Hierusalem occurrisset regi dixit ei rex quare non venisti mecum Mifiboseth

26 qui respondens ait domine mi rex servus meus contempsit me dixi ei ego famulus tuus ut sterneret mihi asinum et ascendens abirem cum rege claudus enim sum servus tuus

27 insuper et accusavit me servum tuum ad te dominum meum regem tu autem domine mi rex sicut angelus Dei fac quod placitum est tibi

28 neque enim fuit domus patris mei nisi morti obnoxia domino meo regi tu autem posuisti me servum tuum inter convivas mensae tuae quid igitur habeo iustae querellae aut quid possum ultra vociferari ad regem

29 ait ergo ei rex quid ultra loqueris fixum est quod locutus sum tu et Siba dividite possessiones

30 responditque Mifiboseth regi etiam cuncta accipiat postquam reversus est dominus meus rex pacifice in domum suam

31 Berzellai quoque Galaadites descendens de Rogelim transduxit regem Iordanem paratus etiam ultra fluvium prosequi eum

32 erat autem Berzellai Galaadites senex valde id est octogenarius et ipse praebuit alimenta regi cum moraretur in Castris fuit quippe vir dives nimis

33 dixit itaque rex ad Berzellai veni mecum ut requiescas secure mecum in Hierusalem

34 et ait Berzellai ad regem quot sunt dies annorum vitae meae ut ascendam cum rege Hierusalem

35 octogenarius sum hodie numquid vigent sensus mei ad discernendum suave aut amarum aut delectare potest servum tuum cibus et potus vel audire ultra possum vocem cantorum atque cantricum quare servus tuus fit oneri domino meo regi

36 paululum procedam famulus tuus ab Iordane tecum nec indigeo hac vicissitudine

37 sed obsecro ut revertar servus tuus et moriar in civitate mea iuxta sepulchrum patris mei et matris meae est autem servus tuus Chamaam ipse vadat tecum domine mi rex et fac ei quod tibi bonum videtur

38 dixitque rex mecum transeat Chamaam et ego faciam ei quicquid tibi placuerit et omne quod petieris a me inpetrabis

39 cumque transisset universus populus et rex Iordanem osculatus est rex Berzellai et benedixit ei et ille reversus est in locum suum

40 transivit ergo rex in Galgalam et Chamaam cum eo omnis autem populus Iuda transduxerat regem et media tantum pars adfuerat de populo Israhel

41 itaque omnes viri Israhel concurrentes ad regem dixerunt ei quare te furati sunt fratres nostri viri Iuda et transduxerunt regem et domum eius Iordanem omnesque viros David cum eo

42 et respondit omnis vir Iuda ad viros Israhel quia propior mihi est rex cur irasceris super hac re numquid comedimus aliquid ex rege aut munera nobis data sunt

43 et respondit vir Israhel ad viros Iuda et ait decem partibus maior ego sum apud regem magisque ad me pertinet David quam ad te cur mihi fecisti iniuriam et non mihi nuntiatum est priori ut reducerem regem meum durius autem responderunt viri Iuda viris Israhel
