1
And when David
was a little
past
the top
of the hill
,
behold
, Ziba
the servant
of Mephibosheth
met
him, with a couple
of asses
saddled
,
and upon them two hundred
loaves
of bread
,
and an hundred
bunches of raisins
,
and an hundred
of summer fruits
,
and a bottle
of wine
.
2
And the king
said
unto Ziba
,
What meanest thou by these? And Ziba
said
,
The asses
be
for the king's
household
to ride on
; and the bread
and summer fruit
for the young men
to eat
;
and the wine
,
that such as be faint
in the wilderness
may drink
.
3
And the king
said
,
And where
is
thy master's
son? And
Ziba
said
unto the king
,
Behold
, he abideth
at Jerusalem
:
for he
said
,
To day
shall the house
of Israel
restore
me the kingdom
of my father
.
4
Then
said
the king
to Ziba
,
Behold
, thine
are
all
that
pertained
unto Mephibosheth.
And Ziba
said
,
I humbly
beseech thee
that
I may find
grace
in thy sight
,
my lord
,
O king
.
5
And when king
David
came
to Bahurim
,
behold
, thence
came
out
a man
of the family
of the house
of Saul
,
whose name
was
Shimei
,
the son
of Gera
:
he
came
forth
,
and cursed
still as he
came
.
6
And he cast
stones
at
David
,
and at
all
the servants
of king
David
:
and
all
the people
and
all
the mighty men
were
on his right hand
and on his left
.
7
And thus said
Shimei
when he cursed
,
Come out
,
come out
,
thou bloody
man
,
and thou
man
of Belial
:
8
The LORD
hath returned
upon thee
all
the blood
of the house
of Saul
,
in
whose
stead thou hast reigned
;
and the LORD
hath delivered
the kingdom
into the hand
of Absalom
thy son
: and, behold, thou
art taken
in thy mischief,
because thou
art
a bloody
man
.
9
Then said
Abishai
the son
of Zeruiah
un
to the king
,
Why
should
this
dead
dog
curse
my lord
the king? let me go
over
, I pray thee, and take off
his head
.
10
And the king
said
,
What
have I to do with you, ye sons of
Zeruiah
? so let him curse,
because the LORD
hath
said
unto him,
Curse
David
.
Who shall then say
,
Wherefore hast thou done so
?
11
And David
said
to Abishai
,
and to
all
his servants
,
Behold
, my son,
which came forth
of my bowels,
seeketh
my life
:
how
much more
now
may this
Benjamite
do it
? let him alone,
and let him curse
;
for the LORD
hath bidden
him.
12
It may be that the LORD
will look
on mine affliction, and that the LORD
will requite
me good
for his cursing
this
day
.
13
And as David
and his men
went
by the way
,
Shimei
went
along
on the hill's
side
over against
him, and cursed
as he
went
,
and threw
stones
at him, and cast
dust
.
14
And the king
,
and all
the people
that
were
with him, came
weary
,
and refreshed
themselves
there
.
15
And Absalom
,
and all
the people
the men
of Israel
,
came
to Jerusalem
,
and Ahithophel
with him.
16
And it
came
to pass, when Hushai
the Archite
,
David's
friend
,
was come
unto Absalom
,
that Hushai
said
unto Absalom
,
God save
the king
,
God save
the king
.
17
And Absalom
said
to Hushai
,
Is
this thy kindness
to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
18
And Hushai
said
unto Absalom
, Nay; but
whom
the LORD,
and
this
people
,
and all
the men
of Israel
,
choose
, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
19
And again
,
whom
should I
serve
?
should I
not
serve
in the
presence
of his
so
n? as I have
serve
d
in thy father's
presence
,
so
will I be in thy
presence
.
20
Then said
Absalom
to Ahithophel
,
Give
counsel
among you what we shall do
.
21
And Ahithophel
said
unto Absalom
,
Go in
unto thy father's
concubines
, which he hath left
to keep
the house
;
and
all
Israel
sh
all
hear
that thou art abhorred
of thy father
:
then sh
all
the hands
of
all
that
are
with thee be strong
.
22
So they spread
Absalom
a tent
upon the top of the house
;
and
Absalom
went in
unto his father's
concubines
in the sight
of all
Israel
.
23
And the counsel
of Ahithophel
,
which
he counselled
in
those
days
,
was
as if a man had inquired
at the oracle
of God
:
so
was
all the counsel
of Ahithophel
both
with David
and with Absalom
.
