| 1 | When David was a little past the top [of the ascent], behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, and one hundred clusters of raisins, and one hundred summer fruits, and a bottle of wine. | 2Sa 15:30 2Sa 15:32 |
| 2 | The king said to Ziba, What do you mean by these? Ziba said, The donkeys are 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 are faint in the wilderness may drink. | Gn 21:29 Gn 33:8 Ezk 37:18 Ezk 15:1 Ezk 19:26 Jg 5:10 Jg 10:4 |
| 3 | The king said, Where is your master`s son? Ziba said to the king, Behold, he abides at Jerusalem; for he said, Today will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. | 2Sa 9:9 2Sa 9:10 Ps 88:18 Mic 7:5 |
| 4 | Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, all that pertains to Mephibosheth is yours. Ziba said, I do obeisance; let me find favor in your sight, my lord, O king. | 2Sa 14:10 2Sa 14:11 Ex 23:8 Dt 19:15 Pr 18:13 Pr 18:17 Pr 19:2 |
| 5 | When king David came to Bahurim, behold, a man of the family of the house of Saul came out, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera. He came out, and cursed still as he came. | 2Sa 16:14 2Sa 3:16 2Sa 17:18 |
| 6 | 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 | Thus said Shimei when he cursed, Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, and base fellow: | 2Sa 3:37 2Sa 11:15-17 2Sa 12:9 Ps 5:6 Ps 51:14 |
| 8 | Yahweh has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and Yahweh has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son; and, behold, you are [taken] in your own mischief, because you are a man of blood. | Jg 9:24 Jg 9:56 Jg 9:57 1Ki 2:32 1Ki 2:33 Ac 28:4 Ac 28:5 Rev 16:6 |
| 9 | Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head." | 2Sa 3:30 1Sa 26:6-8 |
| 10 | The king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because Yahweh has said to him, Curse David; who then shall say, Why have you done so? | 2Sa 3:39 2Sa 19:22 1Ki 2:5 Mt 16:23 Lk 9:54-56 1Pe 2:23 |
| 11 | David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeks my life: how much more [may] this Benjamite now [do it]? let him alone, and let him curse; for Yahweh has invited him. | 2Sa 12:11 2Sa 12:12 |
| 12 | It may be that Yahweh will look on the wrong done to me, and that Yahweh will requite me good for [his] cursing of me this day. | Gn 29:32 Gn 29:33 Ex 2:24 Ex 2:25 Ex 3:7 Ex 3:8 1Sa 1:11 Ps 25:18 |
| 13 | So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill-side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust. | 2Sa 16:5 2Sa 16:6 |
| 14 | The king, and all the people who were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there. |
| 15 | Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. | 2Sa 15:37 |
| 16 | It happened, when Hushai the Archite, David`s friend, was come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, [Long] live the king, [Long] live the king. | 1Sa 10:24 1Ki 1:25 1Ki 1:34 2Ki 11:12 Dn 2:4 Dn 5:10 Dn 6:6 Dn 6:21 Mt 21:9 |
| 17 | Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your kindness to your friend? Why didn`t you go with your friend? | Dt 32:6 |
| 18 | Hushai said to Absalom, No; but whom Yahweh, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I abide. | 2Sa 5:1-3 1Sa 16:13 |
| 19 | Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn`t I serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in your father`s presence, so will I be in your presence. | 2Sa 15:34 1Sa 28:2 1Sa 29:8 Ps 55:21 Ga 2:13 |
| 20 | Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give your counsel what we shall do. | Ex 1:10 Ps 2:2 Ps 37:12 Ps 37:13 Pr 21:30 Isa 8:10 Isa 29:15 Mt 27:1 Ac 4:23-28 |
| 21 | Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father`s concubines, that he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you are abhorred of your father: then will the hands of all who are with you be strong. | Gn 6:4 Gn 38:16 |
| 22 | So they spread Absalom a tent on the top of the house; and Absalom went in to his father`s concubines in the sight of all Israel. | 2Sa 11:2 |
| 23 | The counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom. | Nm 27:21 1Sa 30:8 Ps 28:2 1Pe 4:11 |
