And King David sent word to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, Say to the responsible men of Judah, Why are you the last to take steps to get the king back to his house?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

You are my brothers, my bone and my flesh; why are you the last to get the king back again?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the hearts of the men of Judah were moved like one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, Come back, with all your servants.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So the king came back, and came as far as Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, meeting the king there, to take him back with them over Jordan.

And kept going across the river to take the people of the king's house over, and to do whatever was desired by the king. And Shimei, the son of Gera, went down on his face in the dust before the king, when he was about to go over Jordan,

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And said to him, Let me not be judged as a sinner in your eyes, O my lord, and do not keep in mind the wrong I did on the day when my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, or take it to heart.

אֵ֚ת 'et “<obj.>”

But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, Is not death the right fate for Shimei, because he has been cursing the one marked by the holy oil?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son, came down for the purpose of meeting the king; his feet had not been cared for or his hair cut or his clothing washed from the day when the king went away till the day when he came back in peace.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

For all my father's family were only dead men before my lord the king: and still you put your servant among those whose place is at the king's table. What right then have I to say anything more to the king?

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king said, Say nothing more about these things. I say, Let there be a division of the land between Ziba and you.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Now Barzillai was a very old man, as much as eighty years old: and he had given the king everything he had need of, while he was at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king said to Barzillai, Come over with me, and I will take care of you in Jerusalem.

אֹתְךָ֛ (אֹתְ) 'o.te. “<obj.>”

I am now eighty years old: good and bad are the same to me; have meat and drink any taste for me now? am I able to take pleasure in the voices of men or women in song? why then am I to be a trouble to my lord the king?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

Let your servant now go back again, so that when death comes to me, it may be in my town and by the resting-place of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham: let him go with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you.
