2SA-18:1 And David numbered the people that [were] with him, and

set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
<captains> <david> <him> <hundreds> < numbered> <over> <people>
<set> <thousands> <with>

2SA-18:2 And David sent forth a third part of the people under
the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the
son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand
of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will
surely go forth with you myself also. <also> <brother> <david>
<forth> <gittite> <go> <hand> < ittai> <joab> <king> <myself>
<part> <people> <said> <sent> <son> <surely> <third> <under>
<will> <with> <zeruiah>

2SA-18:3 But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth:for if
we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us
die, will they care for us:but now [thou art] worth ten thousand
of us:therefore now [it is] better that thou succour us out of
the city. <answered> <art> <away> <better> <care> <city> <die>
<flee> <forth> <go> <half> <neither> <now> <people> <succour>
<ten> <therefore> <thousand> <will> < worth>

2SA-18:4 And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I
will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people
came out by hundreds and by thousands. <all> <best> <came> <do>
<gate> <hundreds> <king> <people> < said> <seemeth> <side>
<stood> <thousands> <what> <will>

2SA-18:5 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai,
saying, [Deal] gently for my sake with the young man, [even]
with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all
the captains charge concerning Absalom. <all> < captains>
<charge> <commanded> <concerning> <deal> <even> <gave> <gently>
<heard> <ittai> <joab> <king> <man> <people> <sake> <saying>
<when> <with> <young>

2SA-18:6 So the people went out into the field against Israel:
and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim; <against> < battle>
<ephraim> <field> <into> <israel> < people> <so> <went> <wood>

2SA-18:7 Where the people of Israel were slain before the
servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that
day of twenty thousand [men] . <before> <david> < day> <great>
<israel> <men> <people> <servants> < slain> <slaughter> <there>
<thousand> <twenty> <where>

2SA-18:8 For the battle was there scattered over the face of all
the country:and the wood devoured more people that day than the
sword devoured. <all> <battle> <country> < day> <devoured> <face>
<more> <over> <people> <scattered> < sword> <than> <there> <wood>

2SA-18:9 And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode
upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great
oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up
between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that [was] under
him went away. <away> <between> <boughs> < caught> <david>
<earth> <great> <head> <heaven> < him> <hold> <met> <mule> <oak>
<rode> <servants> <taken> <thick> < under> <went>

2SA-18:10 And a certain man saw [it] , and told Joab, and said,
Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak. <behold> < certain>
<hanged> <joab> <man> <oak> <said> <saw> <told>

2SA-18:11 And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold,
thou sawest [him] , and why didst thou not smite him there to
the ground? And I would have given thee ten [shekels] of silver,
and a girdle. <behold> <didst> <girdle> < given> <ground> <have>
<him> <joab> <man> <said> <sawest> <shekels> <silver> <smite>
<ten> <there> <told> <why> <would>

2SA-18:12 And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a
thousand [shekels] of silver in mine hand, [yet] would I not put
forth mine hand against the king's son:for in our hearing the
king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that
none [touch] the young man Absalom. <against> <beware> <charged>
<forth> <hand> <hearing> <ittai> < joab> <king> <man> <mine>
<none> <put> <receive> <said> < saying> <shekels> <should>
<silver> <son> <though> <thousand> < touch> <would> <yet> <young>

2SA-18:13 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine
own life:for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou
thyself wouldest have set thyself against [me] . <against>
<falsehood> <have> <hid> <king> < life> <matter> <mine> <no>
<otherwise> <own> <set> <should> < there> <thyself> <wouldest>
<wrought>

2SA-18:14 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he
took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart
of Absalom, while he [was] yet alive in the midst of the oak.
<alive> <darts> <hand> <heart> < joab> <may> <midst> <oak> <said>
<tarry> <then> <three> <through> < thrust> <thus> <took> <while>
<with> <yet>

2SA-18:15 And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed
about and smote Absalom, and slew him. <armour> <bare>
<compassed> <him> <men> <slew> < smote> <ten> <young>

2SA-18:16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned
from pursuing after Israel:for Joab held back the people.
<after> <back> <blew> <held> < israel> <joab> <people> <pursuing>
<returned> <trumpet>

2SA-18:17 And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit
in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him:and
all Israel fled every one to his tent. <all> <cast> <every>
<fled> <great> <heap> <him> <into> <israel> <laid> <one> <pit>
<stones> <tent> <took> <very> <wood>

2SA-18:18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up
for himself a pillar, which [is] in the king's dale:for he said,
I have no son to keep my name in remembrance:and he called the
pillar after his own name:and it is called unto this day,
Absalom's place. <after> <called> <dale> < day> <had> <have>
<himself> <keep> <lifetime> <name> < no> <now> <own> <pillar>
<place> <reared> <remembrance> <said> < son> <taken> <this>
<which>

2SA-18:19 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run,
and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of
his enemies. <ahimaaz> <avenged> <bear> < enemies> <hath> <him>
<how> <king> <let> <lord> <now> < run> <said> <son> <then>
<tidings> <zadok>

2SA-18:20 And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings
this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day:but this day
thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.
<another> <bear> <because> <day> < dead> <him> <joab> <no> <said>
<son> <this> <tidings>

2SA-18:21 Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou
hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran. < bowed>
<cushi> <go> <hast> <himself> <joab> <king> <ran> <said> <seen>
<tell> <then> <what>

2SA-18:22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab,
But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And
Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou
hast no tidings ready? <after> <again> <ahimaaz> <also> <cushi>
<hast> <howsoever> <joab> <let> <no> <pray> <ready> <run> <said>
<seeing> <son> <then> <tidings> < wherefore> <wilt> <yet> <zadok>

2SA-18:23 But howsoever, [said he] , let me run. And he said
unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and
overran Cushi. <ahimaaz> <cushi> <him> < howsoever> <let>
<overran> <plain> <ran> <run> <said> <then> <way>

2SA-18:24 And David sat between the two gates:and the watchman
went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up
his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone. < alone>
<behold> <between> <david> <eyes> < gate> <gates> <lifted>
<looked> <man> <over> <roof> < running> <sat> <two> <wall>
<watchman> <went>

2SA-18:25 And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the
king said, If he [be] alone, [there is] tidings in his mouth.
And he came apace, and drew near. <alone> <apace> < came> <cried>
<drew> <king> <mouth> <near> <said> <there> <tidings> <told>
<watchman>

2SA-18:26 And the watchman saw another man running:and the
watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold [another] man
running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.
<alone> <also> <another> <behold> < bringeth> <called> <king>
<man> <porter> <running> <said> < saw> <tidings> <watchman>

2SA-18:27 And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the
foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And
the king said, He [is] a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
<ahimaaz> <cometh> <foremost> <good> < king> <like> <man>
<running> <said> <son> <thinketh> < tidings> <watchman> <with>
<zadok>

2SA-18:28 And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is
well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the
king, and said, Blessed [be] the LORD thy God, which hath
delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord
the king. <against> <ahimaaz> <all> < before> <blessed> <called>
<delivered> <down> <earth> <face> < fell> <god> <hand> <hath>
<king> <lifted> <lord> <men> <said> <well> <which>

2SA-18:29 And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And
Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and [me]
thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what [it was] .
<ahimaaz> <answered> <great> <joab> < king> <knew> <man> <safe>
<said> <saw> <sent> <servant> < tumult> <what> <when> <young>

2SA-18:30 And the king said [unto him] , Turn aside, [and] stand
here. And he turned aside, and stood still. <aside> < here> <him>
<king> <said> <stand> <still> < stood> <turn> <turned>

2SA-18:31 And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my
lord the king:for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all
them that rose up against thee. <against> <all> < avenged>
<behold> <came> <cushi> <day> <hath> <king> <lord> <rose> <said>
<this> <tidings>

2SA-18:32 And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom
safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and
all that rise against thee to do [thee] hurt, be as [that] young
man [is] . <against> <all> <answered> < cushi> <do> <enemies>
<hurt> <king> <lord> <man> <rise> <safe> <said> <young>

2SA-18:33 And the king was much moved, and went up to the
chamber over the gate, and wept:and as he went, thus he said, O
my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for
thee, O Absalom, my son, my son! <chamber> <died> < gate> <god>
<had> <king> <moved> <much> <over> <said> <son> <thus> <went>
<wept> <would>

2SA-19:1 And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and
mourneth for Absalom. <behold> <joab> <king> <mourneth> <told>
<weepeth>

2SA-19:2 And the victory that day was [turned] into mourning
unto all the people:for the people heard say that day how the
king was grieved for his son. <all> <day> < grieved> <heard>
<how> <into> <king> <mourning> < people> <say> <son> <turned>
<victory>

2SA-19:3 And the people gat them by stealth that day into the
city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in
battle. <ashamed> <away> <battle> <being> <city> <day> <flee>
<gat> <into> <people> <steal> < stealth> <when>

2SA-19:4 But the king covered his face, and the king cried with
a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!
<covered> <cried> <face> <king> < loud> <son> <voice> <with>

2SA-19:5 And Joab came into the house to the king, and said,
Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which
this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of
thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy
concubines; <all> <came> <concubines> < daughters> <day> <faces>
<hast> <have> <house> <into> <joab> <king> <life> <lives> <said>
<saved> <servants> <shamed> <sons> < this> <which> <wives>

2SA-19:6 In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy
friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest
neither princes nor servants:for this day I perceive, that if
Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had
pleased thee well. <all> <day> <declared> < died> <enemies>
<friends> <had> <hast> <hatest> < lived> <lovest> <neither> <nor>
<perceive> <pleased> <princes> <regardest> <servants> <then>
<thine> <this> <well>

2SA-19:7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably
unto thy servants:for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth,
there will not tarry one with thee this night:and that will be
worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy
youth until now. <all> <arise> <befell> < comfortably> <evil>
<forth> <go> <lord> <night> <now> <one> <servants> <speak>
<swear> <tarry> <than> <there> < therefore> <this> <until> <will>
<with> <worse> <youth>

2SA-19:8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told
unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the
gate. And all the people came before the king:for Israel had
fled every man to his tent. <all> <arose> < before> <behold>
<came> <doth> <every> <fled> <gate> <had> <israel> <king> <man>
<people> <sat> <saying> <sit> <tent> <then> <told>

2SA-19:9 And all the people were at strife throughout all the
tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of
our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the
Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.
<all> <delivered> <enemies> <fled> < hand> <israel> <king> <land>
<now> <people> <philistines> <saved> < saying> <strife>
<throughout> <tribes>

2SA-19:10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in
battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the
king back? <anointed> <back> <battle> < bringing> <dead> <king>
<now> <over> <speak> <therefore> < whom> <why> <word>

2SA-19:11 And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the
priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are
ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the
speech of all Israel is come to the king, [even] to his house.
<all> <are> <back> <bring> <come> <david> <elders> <even>
<house> <israel> <judah> <king> < last> <priests> <saying>
<seeing> <sent> <speak> <speech> < why> <zadok>

2SA-19:12 Ye [are] my brethren, ye [are] my bones and my flesh:
wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king? <are>
<back> <bones> <brethren> <bring> < flesh> <king> <last> <then>
<wherefore>

2SA-19:13 And say ye to Amasa, [Art] thou not of my bone, and of
my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain
of the host before me continually in the room of Joab. < also>
<amasa> <art> <before> <bone> < captain> <continually> <do>
<flesh> <god> <host> <joab> <more> <room> <say> <so>

2SA-19:14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even
as [the heart of] one man; so that they sent [this word] unto
the king, Return thou, and all thy servants. <all> < bowed>
<even> <heart> <judah> <king> <man> <men> <one> <return> <sent>
<servants> <so> <this> <word>

2SA-19:15 So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah
came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over
Jordan. <came> <conduct> <gilgal> <go> <jordan> <judah> <king>
<meet> <over> <returned> <so>

2SA-19:16 And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which [was]
of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet
king David. <bahurim> <benjamite> <came> < david> <down> <gera>
<hasted> <judah> <king> <meet> <men> <shimei> <son> <which>
<with>

2SA-19:17 And [there were] a thousand men of Benjamin with him,
and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons
and his twenty servants with him; and they went over Jordan
before the king. <before> <benjamin> <fifteen> <him> <house>
<jordan> <king> <men> <over> <saul> <servant> <servants> <sons>
<there> <thousand> <twenty> <went> < with> <ziba>

2SA-19:18 And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the
king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the
son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was come over
Jordan; <before> <boat> <carry> <come> <do> <down> <fell>
<ferry> <gera> <good> <household> < jordan> <king> <over>
<shimei> <son> <there> <thought> < went> <what>

2SA-19:19 And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute
iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy
servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of
Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart. <day>
<did> <do> <heart> <impute> < iniquity> <jerusalem> <king> <let>
<lord> <neither> <perversely> <remember> <said> <servant>
<should> <take> <went> <which>

2SA-19:20 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned:therefore,
behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph
to go down to meet my lord the king. <all> <behold> <come> <day>
<doth> <down> <first> <go> <have> <house> <joseph> <king> <know>
<lord> <meet> <servant> <sinned> < therefore> <this>

2SA-19:21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said,
Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the
LORD'S anointed? <anointed> <answered> <because> <cursed>
<death> <put> <said> <shimei> <son> <this> <zeruiah>

2SA-19:22 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of
Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall
there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I
know that I [am] this day king over Israel? <adversaries> <any>
<david> <day> <death> <do> <have> <israel> <king> <know> <man>
<over> <put> <said> <should> <sons> <there> <this> <what> <with>
<zeruiah>

2SA-19:23 Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not
die. And the king sware unto him. <die> <him> < king> <said>
<shimei> <sware> <therefore>

2SA-19:24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the
king, and had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard,
nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the
day he came [again] in peace. <again> <beard> < came> <clothes>
<day> <departed> <down> <dressed> < feet> <had> <king> <meet>
<mephibosheth> <neither> <nor> <peace> <saul> <son> <trimmed>
<until> <washed>

2SA-19:25 And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to
meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest
not thou with me, Mephibosheth? <came> <come> < him> <jerusalem>
<king> <meet> <mephibosheth> <pass> < said> <wentest> <when>
<wherefore> <with>

2SA-19:26 And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived
me:for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may
ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant [is] lame.
<answered> <ass> <because> <deceived> < go> <king> <lame> <lord>
<may> <ride> <saddle> <said> < servant> <thereon> <will>

2SA-19:27 And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the
king; but my lord the king [is] as an angel of God:do therefore
[what is] good in thine eyes. <angel> <do> < eyes> <god> <good>
<hath> <king> <lord> <servant> < slandered> <therefore> <thine>
<what>

2SA-19:28 For all [of] my father's house were but dead men
before my lord the king:yet didst thou set thy servant among
them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have
I yet to cry any more unto the king? <all> <among> <any>
<before> <cry> <dead> <did> <didst> <eat> <have> <house> <king>
<lord> <men> <more> <own> <right> <servant> <set> <table>

2SA-19:29 And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more
of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
<any> <divide> <have> <him> <king> <land> <matters> <more>
<said> <speakest> <why> <ziba>

2SA-19:30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take
all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto
his own house. <again> <all> <come> < forasmuch> <him> <house>
<king> <let> <lord> <mephibosheth> < own> <peace> <said> <take>
<yea>

2SA-19:31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim,
and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.
<barzillai> <came> <conduct> <down> < gileadite> <him> <jordan>
<king> <over> <rogelim> <went> < with>

2SA-19:32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, [even] fourscore
years old:and he had provided the king of sustenance while he
lay at Mahanaim; for he [was] a very great man. <aged>
<barzillai> <even> <fourscore> <great> <had> <king> <lay>
<mahanaim> <man> <now> <old> < provided> <sustenance> <very>

2SA-19:33 And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with
me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem. <barzillai>
<come> <feed> <jerusalem> <king> < over> <said> <will> <with>

2SA-19:34 And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to
live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?
<barzillai> <go> <have> <how> < jerusalem> <king> <live> <long>
<said> <should> <with>

2SA-19:35 I [am] this day fourscore years old:[and] can I
discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat
or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men
and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a
burden unto my lord the king? <any> <between> < burden> <can>
<day> <discern> <drink> <eat> <evil> <fourscore> <good> <hear>
<king> <lord> <men> <more> <old> <or> <servant> <should>

2SA-19:36 Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the
king:and why should the king recompense it me with such a
reward? <go> <jordan> <king> <little> < over> <recompense>
<reward> <servant> <should> <such> < way> <why> <will> <with>

2SA-19:37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I
may die in mine own city, [and be buried] by the grave of my
father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him
go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem
good unto thee. <again> <back> <behold> < buried> <chimham>

2SA-19:38 And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me,
and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee:and
whatsoever thou shalt require of me, [that] will I do for thee.
<answered> <chimham> <do> <go> < good> <him> <king> <over>
<require> <seem> <whatsoever> <which> < will> <with>

2SA-19:39 And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king
was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and
he returned unto his own place. <all> <barzillai> < blessed>
<come> <him> <jordan> <king> < kissed> <over> <own> <people>

2SA-19:40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on
with him:and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and
also half the people of Israel. <all> <also> < chimham>
<conducted> <gilgal> <half> <him> < israel> <judah> <king> <on>
<people> <then> <went> <with>

2SA-19:41 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king,
and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah
stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household,
and all David's men with him, over Jordan? <all> < away> <behold>
<brethren> <brought> <came> <have> < him> <household> <israel>
<jordan> <judah> <king> <men> <over> <said> <stolen> <why> <with>

2SA-19:42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel,
Because the king [is] near of kin to us:wherefore then be ye
angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's [cost]
? or hath he given us any gift? <all> <angry> < answered> <any>
<because> <cost> <eaten> <gift> < given> <hath> <have> <israel>
<judah> <kin> <king> <matter> <men> <near> <or> <then> <this>
<wherefore>

2SA-19:43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and
said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more
[right] in David than ye:why then did ye despise us, that our
advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And
the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the
men of Israel. <advice> <also> <answered> < back> <bringing>
<david> <despise> <did> <fiercer> < first> <had> <have> <israel>
<judah> <king> <men> <more> <parts> <right> <said> <should>
<ten> <than> <then> <why> <words>

2SA-20:1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose
name [was] Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite:and he blew a
trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we
inheritance in the son of Jesse:every man to his tents, O Israel.
<belial> <benjamite> <bichri> <blew> < david> <every> <happened>
<have> <inheritance> <israel> <jesse> < man> <name> <neither>
<no> <part> <said> <sheba> <son> <tents> <there> <trumpet>
<whose>

2SA-20:2 So every man of Israel went up from after David, [and]
followed Sheba the son of Bichri:but the men of Judah clave unto
their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem. <after> < bichri>
<clave> <david> <even> <every> < followed> <israel> <jerusalem>
<jordan> <judah> <king> <man> <men> <sheba> <so> <son> <went>

2SA-20:3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king
took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to keep
the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in
unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death,
living in widowhood. <came> <concubines> <david> <day> <death>
<fed> <had> <house> <jerusalem> < keep> <king> <left> <living>
<put> <shut> <so> <ten> <took> < ward> <went> <whom> <widowhood>
<women>

2SA-20:4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of
Judah within three days, and be thou here present. <amasa>
<assemble> <days> <here> <judah> < king> <men> <present> <said>
<then> <three> <within>

2SA-20:5 So Amasa went to assemble [the men of] Judah:but he
tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
<amasa> <appointed> <assemble> <had> < him> <judah> <longer>
<men> <set> <so> <tarried> <than> <time> <went> <which>

2SA-20:6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of
Bichri do us more harm than [did] Absalom:take thou thy lord's
servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities,
and escape us. <after> <bichri> <cities> < david> <did> <do>
<escape> <fenced> <get> <harm> <him> <lest> <more> <now>
<pursue> <said> <servants> <sheba> < son> <take> <than>

2SA-20:7 And there went out after him Joab's men, and the
Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men:and they
went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
<after> <all> <bichri> <cherethites> < him> <jerusalem> <men>
<mighty> <pelethites> <pursue> <sheba> <son> <there> <went>

2SA-20:8 When they [were] at the great stone which [is] in
Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had
put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle [with] a sword
fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went
forth it fell out. <amasa> <before> <fastened> <fell> <forth>
<garment> <gibeon> <girded> <girdle> < great> <had> <him> <loins>
<on> <put> <sheath> <stone> <sword> <thereof> <went> <when>
<which> <with>

2SA-20:9 And Joab said to Amasa, [Art] thou in health, my
brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to
kiss him. <amasa> <art> <beard> <brother> <hand> <health> <him>
<joab> <kiss> <right> <said> <took> <with>

2SA-20:10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that [was] in
Joab's hand:so he smote him therewith in the fifth [rib] , and
shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and
he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the
son of Bichri. <after> <again> <amasa> < bichri> <bowels>
<brother> <died> <fifth> <ground> < hand> <heed> <him> <joab>
<no> <pursued> <rib> <sheba> <shed> <smote> <so> <son> <struck>
<sword> <therewith> <took>

2SA-20:11 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that
favoureth Joab, and he that [is] for David, [let him go] after
Joab. <after> <david> <favoureth> <go> <him> <joab> <let> <men>
<one> <said> <stood>

2SA-20:12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the
highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still,
he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a
cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him
stood still. <all> <amasa> <blood> <came> <cast> <cloth> <every>
<field> <highway> <him> <into> <man> <midst> <one> <people>
<removed> <saw> <still> <stood> < wallowed> <when>

2SA-20:13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people
went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
<after> <all> <bichri> <highway> < joab> <on> <people> <pursue>
<removed> <sheba> <son> <went> < when>

2SA-20:14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel,
and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites:and they were gathered
together, and went also after him. <after> <all> < also>
<berites> <bethmaachah> <gathered> <him> <israel> <through>
<together> <tribes> <went>

2SA-20:15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah,
and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the
trench:and all the people that [were] with Joab battered the
wall, to throw it down. <against> <all> <bank> <battered>
<besieged> <bethmaachah> <came> <cast> <city> <down> <him>
<joab> <people> <stood> <throw> < trench> <wall> <with>

2SA-20:16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear;
say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak
with thee. <city> <come> <cried> <hear> <hither> <joab> <may>
<near> <pray> <say> <speak> <then> <wise> <with> <woman>

2SA-20:17 And when he was come near unto her, the woman said,
[Art] thou Joab? And he answered, I [am he] . Then she said unto
him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do
hear. <answered> <art> <come> <do> < handmaid> <hear> <him>
<joab> <near> <said> <she> <then> <thine> <when> <woman> <words>

2SA-20:18 Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old
time, saying, They shall surely ask [counsel] at Abel:and so
they ended [the matter] . <ask> <counsel> < ended> <matter> <old>
<saying> <she> <so> <spake> <speak> <surely> <then> <time> <wont>

2SA-20:19 I [am one of them that are] peaceable [and] faithful
in Israel:thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel:
why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD? <are>
<city> <destroy> <faithful> <inheritance> <israel> <lord>
<mother> <one> <peaceable> <seekest> < swallow> <why> <wilt>

2SA-20:20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from
me, that I should swallow up or destroy. <answered> < destroy>
<far> <joab> <or> <said> <should> <swallow>

2SA-20:21 The matter [is] not so:but a man of mount Ephraim,
Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against
the king, [even] against David:deliver him only, and I will
depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his
head shall be thrown to thee over the wall. <against> < behold>
<bichri> <city> <david> <deliver> < depart> <ephraim> <even>
<hand> <hath> <head> <him> <joab> <king> <lifted> <man> <matter>
<mount> <name> <only> <over> <said> <sheba> <so> <son> <thrown>
<wall> <will> <woman>

2SA-20:22 Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom.
And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast
[it] out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from
the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem
unto the king. <all> <bichri> <blew> < cast> <city> <cut> <every>
<head> <jerusalem> <joab> <king> < man> <off> <people> <retired>
<returned> <sheba> <son> <tent> < then> <trumpet> <went> <wisdom>
<woman>

2SA-20:23 Now Joab [was] over all the host of Israel:and Benaiah
the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and over the
Pelethites:<all> <benaiah> <cherethites> < host> <israel>
<jehoiada> <joab> <now> <over> < pelethites> <son>

2SA-20:24 And Adoram [was] over the tribute:and Jehoshaphat the
son of Ahilud [was] recorder:<ahilud> <jehoshaphat> <over>
<recorder> <son> <tribute>

2SA-20:25 And Sheva [was] scribe:and Zadok and Abiathar [were]
the priests:<priests> <scribe> <sheva> < zadok>

2SA-20:26 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
<also> <chief> <david> <ira> < jairite> <ruler>

2SA-21:1 Then there was a famine in the days of David three
years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the
LORD answered, [It is] for Saul, and for [his] bloody house,
because he slew the Gibeonites. <after> <answered> <because>
<bloody> <david> <days> <famine> < gibeonites> <house> <inquired>
<lord> <saul> <slew> <then> <there> <three> <year> <years>

2SA-21:2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them;
( now the Gibeonites [were] not of the children of Israel, but
of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had
sworn unto them:and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the
children of Israel and Judah. ) <amorites> <called> <children>
<gibeonites> <had> <israel> <judah> < king> <now> <remnant>
<said> <saul> <slay> <sought> < sworn> <zeal>

2SA-21:3 Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I
do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye
may bless the inheritance of the LORD? <atonement> < bless>
<david> <do> <gibeonites> <inheritance> <lord> <make> <may>
<said> <what> <wherefore> <wherewith>

2SA-21:4 And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no
silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt
thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say,
[that] will I do for you. <any> <do> < gibeonites> <gold> <have>
<him> <house> <israel> <kill> <man> <neither> <no> <nor> <said>
<saul> <say> <silver> <what> <will>

2SA-21:5 And they answered the king, The man that consumed us,
and that devised against us [that] we should be destroyed from
remaining in any of the coasts of Israel, <against> < answered>
<any> <coasts> <consumed> <destroyed> < devised> <israel> <king>
<man> <remaining> <should>

2SA-21:6 Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we
will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, [whom] the
LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give [them] .
<choose> <delivered> <did> <gibeah> < give> <hang> <king> <let>
<lord> <men> <said> <saul> <seven> <sons> <whom> <will>

2SA-21:7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan
the son of Saul, because of the LORD'S oath that [was] between
them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. <because>
<between> <david> <jonathan> <king> < mephibosheth> <oath> <saul>
<son> <spared>

2SA-21:8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter
of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and
the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought
up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:<aiah>
<armoni> <bare> <barzillai> <brought> < daughter> <five> <king>
<meholathite> <mephibosheth> <michal> < rizpah> <saul> <she>
<son> <sons> <took> <two> <whom>

2SA-21:9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites,
and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD:and they fell
[all] seven together, and were put to death in the days of
harvest, in the first [days] , in the beginning of barley
harvest. <all> <barley> <before> < beginning> <days> <death>
<delivered> <fell> <first> <gibeonites> <hands> <hanged>
<harvest> <hill> <into> <lord> <put> <seven> <together>

2SA-21:10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and
spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest
until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered
neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the
beasts of the field by night. <aiah> <air> < beasts> <beginning>
<birds> <daughter> <day> <dropped> < field> <harvest> <heaven>
<neither> <night> <nor> <on> <rest> <rizpah> <rock> <sackcloth>
<spread> <suffered> <took> <until> < water>

2SA-21:11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah,
the concubine of Saul, had done. <aiah> <concubine> <daughter>
<david> <done> <had> <rizpah> <saul> <told> <what>

2SA-21:12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the
bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, which
had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the
Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul
in Gilboa:<bethshan> <bones> <david> < gilboa> <had> <hanged>
<jabeshgilead> <jonathan> <men> < philistines> <saul> <slain>
<son> <stolen> <street> <took> < went> <when> <where> <which>

2SA-21:13 And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and
the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of
them that were hanged. <bones> <brought> < gathered> <hanged>
<jonathan> <saul> <son> <thence>

2SA-21:14 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they
in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish
his father:and they performed all that the king commanded. And
after that God was entreated for the land. <after> < all>
<benjamin> <bones> <buried> <commanded> <country> <entreated>
<father> <god> <jonathan> <king> < kish> <land> <performed>
<saul> <sepulchre> <son> <zelah>

2SA-21:15 Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel;
and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought
against the Philistines:and David waxed faint. <again> < against>
<david> <down> <faint> <fought> < had> <him> <israel> <moreover>
<philistines> <servants> <war> <waxed> <went> <with> <yet>
