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.

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.

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.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And thy bondmaid said, Let the word of my lord the king now be comfortable; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad; and Jehovah thy God will be with thee.

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.

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:

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

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙) Me.lekh “king”

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.

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

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.

So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and did not see 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 the second time, but he would not come.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

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

And Joab came to the king, and told him. And he called Absalom, and 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 early, and stood beside the way of the gate; and it was so, that when any man who had a controversy had to come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called 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 to him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man to hear thee [ergänzt: appointed] by the king.

הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ (מֶּ֑לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And the king said to him, Go in peace. And he rose up and went to Hebron.

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And the king's servants said to the king, Behold, thy servants [ergänzt: will do] whatever my lord the king shall choose.

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

And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and stayed at the remote house.

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 over before the king.

הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why dost thou also go with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king; for thou art a foreigner, and besides, thou hast emigrated to the place where thou [ergänzt: dwellest].

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