And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou devised such a thing against the people of God? for in speaking this word the king is as one that is guilty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished one.

Now therefore seeing that I am come to speak this word unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.

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

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Then thy handmaid said, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be comfortable; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: and Jehovah thy God be with thee.

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

And the king said, Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thy handmaid;

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

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙) Me.lekh “king”

And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found favor in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath performed the request of his servant.

And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom turned to his own house, and saw not the king's face.

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

הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem; and he saw not the king's face.

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still. Now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him kill me.

הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ (מֶּ֜לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

So Joab came to the king, and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.

And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that, when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.

הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ (מֶּ֜לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.

הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ (מֶּ֑לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall choose.

And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, that were concubines, to keep the house.

And the king went forth, and all the people after him; and they tarried in Beth-merhak.

And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men that came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.

הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return, and abide with the king: for thou art a foreigner, and also an exile; [ergänzt: return] to thine own place.

And Ittai answered the king, and said, As Jehovah liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will thy servant be.
