H0853–אֵת–et

Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why don't you speak a word of bringing the king back?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, [ergänzt: to bring him] to his house.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

You are my brothers, you are my bone and my flesh: why then are you the last to bring back the king?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

He bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as [ergänzt: the heart of] one man; so that they sent to the king, [ergänzt: saying], Return you, and all your servants.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

There went over a ferry-boat to bring over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

He said to the king, Don't let my lord impute iniquity to me, neither do you remember that which your servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.

אֵ֚ת 'et “<obj.>”

But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, Shall Shimei not be put to death for this, because he cursed Yahweh's anointed?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should cry any more to the king?

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

The king said to him, Why speak you any more of your matters? I say, You and Ziba divide the land.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Mephibosheth said to the king, yes, let him take all, because my lord the king is come in peace to his own house.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old: and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

The king said to Barzillai, Come you over with me, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem.

אֹתְךָ֛ (אֹתְ) 'o.te. “<obj.>”

I am this day eighty years old: can I discern between good and bad? can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why then should your servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?

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

Your servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.

אֵ֥ת 'et “<obj.>”

The king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you: and whatever you shall require of me, that will I do for you.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

All the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over: and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him: and all the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?

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

The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more [ergänzt: right] in David than you: why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? The words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody, and provided them with sustenance, but didn't go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.

אֵ֣ת 'et “<obj.>”

Then said the king to Amasa, Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be here present.
