H0853–אֵת–et

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a fighting man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow:

אֵ֣ת 'et “<obj.>”אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a tall man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a stick, and pulling the spear out of the hands of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.

Again the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and moving David against them, he said, Go, take the number of Israel and Judah.

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

And the king said to Joab and the captains of the army, who were with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, and have all the people numbered, so that I may be certain of the number of the people.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

But the king's order was stronger than Joab and the captains of the army. And Joab and the captains of the army went out from the king, to take the number of the children of Israel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And they went over Jordan, and starting from Aroer, from the town which is in the middle of the valley, they went in the direction of the Gadites, and on to Jazer;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Joab gave the king the number of all the people: there were in Israel eight hundred thousand fighting men able to take up arms; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And after the people had been numbered, David's heart was troubled. And David said to the Lord, Great has been my sin in doing this; but now, O Lord, be pleased to take away the sin of your servant, for I have done very foolishly

אֹת֔וֹ (אֹת֔) 'o.T “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And when David saw the angel who was causing the destruction of the people, he said to the Lord, Truly, the sin is mine; I have done wrong: but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand be against me and against my family.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Araunah, looking out, saw the king and his servants coming to him: and Araunah went out, and went down on his face to the earth before the king.

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

And Araunah said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To give you a price for your grain-floor, so that I may put up an altar to the Lord, and the disease may be stopped among the people.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king said to Araunah, No, but I will give you a price for it; I will not give to the Lord my God burned offerings for which I have given nothing. So David got the grain-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

So after searching through all the land of Israel for a fair young girl, they saw Abishag the Shunammite, and took her to the king.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֹתָ֖הּ (אֹתָ֖) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

Now all his life his father had never gone against him or said to him, Why have you done so? and he was a very good-looking man, and younger than Absalom.

וְאֹת֥וֹ (אֹת֥) 'o.T “<obj.>”

Then Adonijah put to death sheep and oxen and fat beasts by the stone of Zoheleth, by En-rogel; and he sent for all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants, to come to him:

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But he did not send for Nathan the prophet and Benaiah and the other men of war and Solomon his brother.

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

So now, let me make a suggestion, so that you may keep your life safe and the life of your son Solomon.

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

And while you are still talking there with the king, see, I will come in after you and say that your story is true.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then Bath-sheba went into the king's room; now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was waiting on him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Has this thing been done by my lord the king, without giving word to your servants who was to be placed on my lord the king's seat after him?

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king took an oath, and said, By the living Lord, who has been my saviour from all my troubles,

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and put Solomon my son on my beast, yes, mine, and take him down to Gihon;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֹת֖וֹ (אֹת֖) 'o.T “<obj.>”

And there let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him to make him king over Israel; and sounding the horn say, Long life to King Solomon!

אֹת֣וֹ (אֹת֣) 'o.T “<obj.>”

And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answering the king, said, So be it: and may the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say so.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

As the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon and make the seat of his authority greater than that of my lord King David.
