And the woman said, Why then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one who is faulty, in that the king doth not bring home again his banished.

הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ (מֶּ֜לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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

For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid from 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, The word of my lord the king, will now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee.

Then 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 not 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:

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

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

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙) Me.lekh “king”

And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.

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

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

הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, that he might send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And Absalom answered 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 had been good for me had I been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there is any 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 early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is 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 deputed by the king to hear thee.

הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And in 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 after forty years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And the king's servants said to the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king shall appoint.

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

And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.

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

הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Why goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king; for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙) Me.lekh “king”

And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the LORD liveth, and 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.
