H0853–אֵת–et

And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom has smitten all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their garments rent.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he humbled his sister Tamar.

אֵ֣ת 'et “<obj.>”אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

And Absalom fled. And the young man that watched lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there came much people from the way behind him, from the hill-side.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

and come to the king, and speak after this manner to him. And Joab put the words into her mouth.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And thy bondmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other and slew him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֹתֽוֹ׃ (אֹתֽ) 'o.T “<obj.>”

And behold, the whole family is risen against thy bondmaid, and they say, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may put him to death, for the life of his brother whom he killed; and we will destroy the heir also: so they will quench my coal which is left, and will not leave to my husband a name or remnant on the earth.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then she said, I pray thee, let the king remember Jehovah thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they cut off my son. And he said, [ergänzt: As] Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the woman said, Why then hast thou thought such a thing against God's people? and the king in saying this thing, is as one guilty, in that the king does not bring back his banished one.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And now that I am come to speak of this thing to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid; and thy bondmaid said, I will now speak to the king; perhaps the king will perform the request of his handmaid.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֹתִ֤י (אֹתִ֤) 'o.T “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And the king answered and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.

אֹתָ֑ךְ (אֹתָ֑) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

And the king said, Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, [ergänzt: As] thy soul liveth, my lord, O king, there is no turning to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king has spoken; for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words into the mouth of thy bondmaid:

אֵ֥ת 'et “<obj.>”

in order to turn the appearance of the thing has thy servant Joab done this thing; but my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all that is in the earth.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: so go, bring back the young man Absalom.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Joab fell to the ground on his face and bowed himself, and blessed the king; and Joab said, To-day thy servant knows that I have found favour in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has fulfilled the request of his servant.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And when he shaved his head (for it was at every year's end that he shaved it, because it was heavy on him, therefore he shaved it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him; and he sent again the second time, but he would not come.

אֹתוֹ֙ (אֹת) 'o.T “<obj.>”

Then he said to his servants, See, Joab's allotment is near mine and he has barley there: go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the allotment on fire.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to [ergänzt: his] house, and said to him, Why have thy servants set my allotment on fire?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Absalom said to Joab, Behold, I sent to thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Why am I come from Geshur? it would have been better for me to be there still. And now let me see the king's face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him slay me.

אֹתְךָ֨ (אֹתְ) 'o.te. “<obj.>”

And it was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And in this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment; and Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay in Hebron my vow which I have vowed to Jehovah.
