Absalom — Симфония — English Standard Version

2Sam 3:3

and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;

2Sam 13:1

1 Now Absalom, David’s son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar. And after a time Amnon, David’s son, loved her.

2Sam 13:4

And he said to him, “O son of the king, why are you so haggard morning after morning? Will you not tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”

2Sam 13:20

And her brother Absalom said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? Now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother; do not take this to heart.” So Tamar lived, a desolate woman, in her brother Absalom’s house.

2Sam 13:22

But Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad, for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had violated his sister Tamar.

2Sam 13:23

23 After two full years Absalom had sheepshearers at Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.

2Sam 13:24

And Absalom came to the king and said, “Behold, your servant has sheepshearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”

2Sam 13:25

But the king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him, but he would not go but gave him his blessing.

2Sam 13:26

Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” And the king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”

2Sam 13:27

But Absalom pressed him until he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.

2Sam 13:28

Then Absalom commanded his servants, “Mark when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then kill him. Do not fear; have I not commanded you? Be courageous and be valiant.”

2Sam 13:29

So the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and each mounted his mule and fled.

2Sam 13:30

While they were on the way, news came to David, “Absalom has struck down all the king’s sons, and not one of them is left.”

2Sam 13:32

But Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, said, “Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for Amnon alone is dead. For by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day he violated his sister Tamar.

2Sam 13:34

34 But Absalom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming from the road behind him by the side of the mountain.

2Sam 13:37

But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son day after day.

2Sam 13:38

So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

2Sam 13:39

And the spirit of the king longed to go out to Absalom, because he was comforted about Amnon, since he was dead.

2Sam 14:1

1 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah knew that the king’s heart went out to Absalom.

2Sam 14:21

Then the king said to Joab, “Behold now, I grant this; go, bring back the young man Absalom.”

2Sam 14:23

So Joab arose and went to Geshur and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

2Sam 14:24

And the king said, “Let him dwell apart in his own house; he is not to come into my presence.” So Absalom lived apart in his own house and did not come into the king’s presence.

2Sam 14:25

Now in all Israel there was no one so much to be praised for his handsome appearance as Absalom. From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

2Sam 14:27

There were born to Absalom three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar. She was a beautiful woman.

2Sam 14:28

So Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, without coming into the king’s presence.

2Sam 14:29

Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but Joab would not come to him. And he sent a second time, but Joab would not come.

2Sam 14:30

Then he said to his servants, “See, Joab’s field is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.

2Sam 14:31

Then Joab arose and went to Absalom at his house and said to him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?”

2Sam 14:32

Absalom answered Joab, “Behold, I sent word to you, ‘Come here, that I may send you to the king, to ask, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still.” Now therefore let me go into the presence of the king, and if there is guilt in me, let him put me to death.’”

2Sam 14:33

Then Joab went to the king and told him, and he summoned Absalom. So he came to the king and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king, and the king kissed Absalom.

2Sam 15:1

1 After this Absalom got himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

2Sam 15:2

And Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the way of the gate. And when any man had a dispute to come before the king for judgment, Absalom would call to him and say, “From what city are you?” And when he said, “Your servant is of such and such a tribe in Israel,”

2Sam 15:3

Absalom would say to him, “See, your claims are good and right, but there is no man designated by the king to hear you.”

2Sam 15:4

Then Absalom would say, “Oh that I were judge in the land! Then every man with a dispute or cause might come to me, and I would give him justice.”

2Sam 15:6

Thus Absalom did to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

2Sam 15:7

And at the end of four years Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the Lord, in Hebron.

2Sam 15:10

But Absalom sent secret messengers throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then say, ‘Absalom is king at Hebron!’”

2Sam 15:11

With Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem who were invited guests, and they went in their innocence and knew nothing.

2Sam 15:12

And while Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city Giloh. And the conspiracy grew strong, and the people with Absalom kept increasing.

2Sam 15:13

13 And a messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.”

2Sam 15:14

Then David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise, and let us flee, or else there will be no escape for us from Absalom. Go quickly, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down ruin on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”

2Sam 15:31

And it was told David, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”

2Sam 15:34

But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father’s servant in time past, so now I will be your servant,’ then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.

2Sam 15:37

So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city, just as Absalom was entering Jerusalem.

2Sam 16:8

The Lord has avenged on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, your evil is on you, for you are a man of blood.”

2Sam 16:15

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

2Sam 16:16

And when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”

2Sam 16:17

And Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”

2Sam 16:18

And Hushai said to Absalom, “No, for whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

2Sam 16:20

Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel. What shall we do?”
