Ziba, a False Servant

1 And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, and upon them 200 loaves of bread, and 100 bunches of raisins, and 100 of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.

וְדָוִ֗ד עָבַ֤ר מְעַט֙ מֵֽהָרֹ֔אשׁ וְהִנֵּ֥ה צִיבָ֛א נַ֥עַר מְפִי־בֹ֖שֶׁת לִקְרָאתֹ֑ו וְצֶ֨מֶד חֲמֹרִ֜ים חֲבֻשִׁ֗ים וַעֲלֵיהֶם֩ מָאתַ֨יִם לֶ֜חֶם וּמֵאָ֧ה צִמּוּקִ֛ים וּמֵ֥אָה קַ֖יִץ וְנֵ֥בֶל יָֽיִן׃

1 καὶ Δαυὶδ παρῆλθεν βραχύ τι ἀπὸ τῆς Ῥοώς, καὶ ἰδοὺ Σιβὰ τὸ παιδάριον Μεμφιβοσθὲ εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ζεῦγος ὄνων ἐπισεσαγμένων, καὶ ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς διακόσιοι ἄρτοι καὶ ἑκατὸν σταφίδες καὶ ἑκατὸν φοίνικες καὶ Νεβὲλ οἴνου. 1 Καὶ Δαυὶδ παρῆλθε βραχύ τι ἀπὸ τῆς Ῥοὼς καὶ ἰδοὺ Σιβὰ τὸ παιδάριον Μεμφιβοσθὲ εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ζεῦγος ὄνων ἐπισεσαγμένων, καὶ ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς διακόσιοι ἄρτοι καὶ ἑκατὸν σταφίδες καὶ ἑκατὸν φοίνικες καὶ νέβελ οἴνου.
1 And David passed on a little way from Roōs; and, look, Siba the servant of Memphibosthe came to meet him; and he had a pair of donkeys loaded, and upon them 200 loaves, and 100 bunches of raisins, and 100 cakes of dates, and a container of wine. 1 And David passed on a little way from Roōs; and, look, Siba the servant of Memphibosthe came to meet him; and he had a pair of donkeys loaded, and upon them 200 loaves, and 100 bunches of raisins, and 100 cakes of dates, and a container of wine.

2 And the king said unto Ziba, What mean you by these? And Ziba said, The donkeys be for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ אֶל־צִיבָ֖א מָה־אֵ֣לֶּה לָּ֑ךְ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר צִ֠יבָא הַחֲמֹורִ֨ים לְבֵית־הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ לִרְכֹּ֗ב וְהַקַּ֙יִץ֙ לֶאֱכֹ֣ול הַנְּעָרִ֔ים וְהַיַּ֕יִן לִשְׁתֹּ֥ות הַיָּעֵ֖ף בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃

2 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σιβὰ Τί ταῦτά σοι;
καὶ εἶπεν Σιβὰ Τὰ ὑποζύγια τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ ἐπικαθῆσθαι, καὶ οἱ ἄρτοι καὶ οἱ φοίνικες εἰς βρῶσιν τοῖς παιδαρίοις, καὶ ὁ οἶνος πιεῖν τοῖς ἐκλελυμένοις ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ. 		2 καὶ εἶπε ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σιβά· τί ταῦτά σοι;
καὶ εἶπε Σιβά· τὰ ὑποζύγια τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ ἐπικαθῆσθαι, καὶ οἱ ἄρτοι καὶ οἱ φοίνικες εἰς βρῶσιν τοῖς παιδαρίοις, καὶ ὁ οἶνος πιεῖν τοῖς ἐκλελυμένοις ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
2 And the king said to Siba, What are these things to you? and Siba, said, The donkeys are for the household of the king to sit upon, and the loaves and the dates are for the young men for food, and the wine to drink is for those who are exhausted in the wilderness. 2 And the king said to Siba, What are these things to you? and Siba, said, The donkeys are for the household of the king to sit upon, and the loaves and the dates are for the young men for food, and the wine to drink is for those who are exhausted in the wilderness.

3 And the king said, And where is your master’s son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abides at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israēl restore me the kingdom of my father.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וְאַיֵּ֖ה בֶּן־אֲדֹנֶ֑יךָ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר צִיבָ֜א אֶל־הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ הִנֵּה֙ יֹושֵׁ֣ב בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֔ם כִּ֣י אָמַ֔ר הַיֹּ֗ום יָשִׁ֤יבוּ לִי֙ בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֵ֖ת מַמְלְכ֥וּת אָבִֽי׃

3 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς Καὶ ποῦ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ κυρίου σου;
καὶ εἶπεν Σιβὰ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἰδοὺ κάθηται ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὅτι εἶπεν σήμερον ἐπιστρέψουσίν μοι ὁ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ πατρός μου. 		3 καὶ εἶπε ὁ βασιλεύς· καὶ ποῦ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ κυρίου σου;
καὶ εἶπε Σιβὰ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ἰδοὺ κάθηται ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὅτι εἶπε· σήμερον ἐπιστρέψουσί μοι οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ πατρός μου.
3 And the king said, And where is the son of your master? and Siba said to the king, Behold, he remains in Jerusalem; for he said, To-day shall the house of Israēl restore to me the kingdom of my father. 3 And the king said, And where is the son of your master? and Siba said to the king, Behold, he remains in Jerusalem; for he said, To-day shall the house of Israēl restore to me the kingdom of my father.

4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, your are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech you who I may find grace in your sight, my lord, Oh king.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ לְצִבָ֔א הִנֵּ֣ה לְךָ֔ כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר לִמְפִי־בֹ֑שֶׁת וַיֹּ֤אמֶר צִיבָא֙ הִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֵ֔יתִי אֶמְצָא־חֵ֥ן בְּעֵינֶ֖יךָ אֲדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

4 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Σιβὰ Ἰδοὺ σοί πάντα, ὅσα ἐστὶν τῷ Μεμφιβοσθέ.
καὶ εἶπεν Σιβὰ προσκυνήσας εὕροιμι χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ. 		4 καὶ εἶπε ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Σιβά· ἰδού σοι πάντας, ὅσα ἐστὶ Μεμφιβοσθέ.
καὶ εἶπε Σιβὰ προσκυνήσας· εὕροιμι χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ.
4 And the king said to Siba, Behold, all Memphibosthe’s property is yours. And Siba did obeisance and said, My lord, Oh king, let me find grace in your eyes. 4 And the king said to Siba, Behold, all Memphibosthe’s property is yours. And Siba did obeisance and said, My lord, Oh king, let me find grace in your eyes.

David Is Cursed

5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, from there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.

וּבָ֛א הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ דָּוִ֖ד עַד־בַּֽחוּרִ֑ים וְהִנֵּ֣ה מִשָּׁם֩ אִ֨ישׁ יֹוצֵ֜א מִמִּשְׁפַּ֣חַת בֵּית־שָׁא֗וּל וּשְׁמֹו֙ שִׁמְעִ֣י בֶן־גֵּרָ֔א יֹצֵ֥א יָצֹ֖וא וּמְקַלֵּֽל׃

5 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ ἕως Βαουρίμ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖθεν ἀνὴρ ἐξεπορεύετο ἐκ συγγενείας οἴκου Σαούλ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Σεμεῒ υἱὸς Γηρά· ἐξῆλθεν ἐκπορευόμενος καὶ καταρώμενος 5 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ ἕως Βαουρίμ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖθεν ἀνὴρ ἐξεπορεύετο ἐκ συγγενείας οἴκου Σαούλ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Σεμεῒ υἱὸς Γηρά· ἐξῆλθεν ἐκπορευόμενος καὶ καταρώμενος
5 And king David came to Baurim; and, behold, there came out from there a man of the family of the house of Saul, and his name was Semei the son of Gera. He came forth and cursed as he went, 5 And king David came to Baurim; and, behold, there came out from there a man of the family of the house of Saul, and his name was Semei the son of Gera. He came forth and cursed as he went,

6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.

וַיְסַקֵּ֤ל בָּֽאֲבָנִים֙ אֶת־דָּוִ֔ד וְאֶת־כָּל־עַבְדֵ֖י הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֑ד וְכָל־הָעָם֙ וְכָל־הַגִּבֹּרִ֔ים מִימִינֹ֖ו וּמִשְּׂמֹאלֹֽו׃

6 καὶ λιθάζων ἐν λίθοις τὸν Δαυὶδ καὶ πάντας τοὺς παῖδας τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυίδ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἦν καὶ πάντες οἱ δυνατοὶ ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων τοῦ βασιλέως. 6 καὶ λιθάζων ἐν λίθοις τὸν Δαυὶδ καὶ πάντας τοὺς παῖδας τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυίδ.
καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἦν καὶ πάντες οἱ δυνατοὶ ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων τοῦ βασιλέως.
6 and cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on the right and left hand of the king. 6 and cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on the right and left hand of the king.

7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, you bloody man, and you man of Belial:

וְכֹֽה־אָמַ֥ר שִׁמְעִ֖י בְּקַֽלְלֹ֑ו צֵ֥א צֵ֛א אִ֥ישׁ הַדָּמִ֖ים וְאִ֥ישׁ הַבְּלִיָּֽעַל׃

7 καὶ οὕτως ἔλεγεν Σεμεῒ ἐν τῷ καταρᾶσθαι αὐτόν Ἔξελθε ἔξελθε, ἀνὴρ αἱμάτων καὶ ἀνὴρ ὁ παράνομος· 7 καὶ οὕτως ἔλεγε Σεμεῒ ἐν τῷ καταρᾶσθαι αὐτόν· ἔξελθε, ἔξελθε ἀνὴρ αἱμάτων καὶ ἀνὴρ ὁ παράνομος·
7 And thus Semei said when he cursed him, Go out, go out, you bloody man, and man of sin. 7 And thus Semei said when he cursed him, Go out, go out, you bloody man, and man of sin.

8 The LORD has returned upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead you have reigned; and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son: and, behold, you are taken in your mischief, because you are a bloody man.

הֵשִׁיב֩ עָלֶ֨יךָ יְהוָ֜ה כֹּ֣ל ׀ דְּמֵ֣י בֵית־שָׁא֗וּל אֲשֶׁ֤ר מָלַ֙כְתָּ֙ וַיִּתֵּ֤ן יְהוָה֙ אֶת־הַמְּלוּכָ֔ה בְּיַ֖ד אַבְשָׁלֹ֣ום בְּנֶ֑ךָ וְהִנְּךָ֙ בְּרָ֣עָתֶ֔ךָ כִּ֛י אִ֥ישׁ דָּמִ֖ים אָֽתָּה׃

8 ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπὶ σὲ κύριος πάντα τὰ αἵματα τοῦ οἴκου Σαούλ, ὅτι ἐβασίλευσας ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκεν κύριος τὴν βασιλείαν ἐν χειρὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τοῦ υἱοῦ σου· καὶ ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν τῇ κακίᾳ σου, ὅτι ἀνὴρ αἱμάτων σύ. 8 ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπὶ σὲ Κύριος πάντα τὰ αἵματα τοῦ οἴκου Σαούλ, ὅτι ἐβασίλευσας ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκε Κύριος τὴν βασιλείαν ἐν χειρὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τοῦ υἱοῦ σου· καὶ ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν τῇ κακίᾳ σου, ὅτι ἀνὴρ αἱμάτων σύ.
8 The Lord has returned upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, because you have reigned in his stead; and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of Abessalom your son: and, behold, you are taken in your mischief, because you are a bloody man. 8 The Lord has returned upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, because you have reigned in his stead; and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of Abessalom your son: and, behold, you are taken in your mischief, because you are a bloody man.

9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray you, and take off his head.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֲבִישַׁ֤י בֶּן־צְרוּיָה֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ לָ֣מָּה יְקַלֵּ֞ל הַכֶּ֤לֶב הַמֵּת֙ הַזֶּ֔ה אֶת־אֲדֹנִ֖י הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ אֶעְבְּרָה־נָּ֖א וְאָסִ֥ירָה אֶת־רֹאשֹֽׁו׃

9 καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσὰ υἱὸς Σαρουίας πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἵνα τί καταρᾶται ὁ κύων ὁ τεθνηκὼς οὗτος τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα;
διαβήσομαι δὴ καὶ ἀφελῶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. 		9 καὶ εἶπε Ἀβεσσὰ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ἱνατί καταρᾶται ὁ κύων ὁ τεθνηκὼς οὗτος τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα;
διαβήσομαι δὴ καὶ ἀφελῶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.
9 And Abessa the son of Saruia said to the king, Why does this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over now and take off his head. 9 And Abessa the son of Saruia said to the king, Why does this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over now and take off his head.

10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD has said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Why have you done so?

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ מַה־לִּ֥י וְלָכֶ֖ם בְּנֵ֣י צְרֻיָ֑ה יְקַלֵּ֗ל יְהוָה֙ אָ֤מַר לֹו֙ קַלֵּ֣ל אֶת־דָּוִ֔ד וּמִ֣י יֹאמַ֔ר מַדּ֖וּעַ עָשִׂ֥יתָה כֵּֽן׃

10 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς Τί ἐμοὶ καὶ ὑμῖν, υἱοὶ Σαρουίας;
ἄφετε αὐτὸν καὶ οὕτως καταράσθω, ὅτι κύριος εἶπεν αὐτῷ καταρᾶσθαι τὸν Δαυίδ, καὶ τίς ἐρεῖ Ὡς τί ἐποίησας οὕτως; 		10 καὶ εἶπε ὁ βασιλεύς· τί ἐμοὶ καὶ ὑμῖν, υἱοὶ Σαρουΐας;
ἄφετε αὐτὸν καὶ οὕτως καταράσθω, ὅτι Κύριος εἶπε αὐτῷ καταρᾶσθαι τὸν Δαυίδ, καὶ τίς ἐρεῖ, ὡς τί ἐποίησας οὕτως;
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Saruia? even let him alone, and so let him curse, for the Lord has told him to curse David: and who shall say, Why have you done thus? 10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Saruia? even let him alone, and so let him curse, for the Lord has told him to curse David: and who shall say, Why have you done thus?

11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeks my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has bidden him.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֤ד אֶל־אֲבִישַׁי֙ וְאֶל־כָּל־עֲבָדָ֔יו הִנֵּ֥ה בְנִ֛י אֲשֶׁר־יָצָ֥א מִמֵּעַ֖י מְבַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־נַפְשִׁ֑י וְאַ֨ף כִּֽי־עַתָּ֜ה בֶּן־הַיְמִינִ֗י הַנִּ֤חוּ לֹו֙ וִֽיקַלֵּ֔ל כִּ֥י אָֽמַר־לֹ֖ו יְהוָֽה׃

11 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀβεσσὰ καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ Ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἐξελθὼν ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας μου ζητεῖ τὴν ψυχήν μου, καὶ προσέτι νῦν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Ἰεμινί· ἄφετε αὐτὸν καταρᾶσθαι, ὅτι εἶπεν αὐτῷ κύριος· 11 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀβεσσὰ καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἐξελθὼν ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας μου ζητεῖ τὴν ψυχήν μου, καὶ προσέτι νῦν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Ἰεμινί· ἄφετε αὐτὸν καταρᾶσθαι, ὅτι εἶπε αὐτῷ Κύριος·
11 And David said to Abessa and to all his servants, Behold, my son who came forth out of my bowels seeks my life; still more now may the son of Benjamin: let him curse, because the Lord has told him. 11 And David said to Abessa and to all his servants, Behold, my son who came forth out of my bowels seeks my life; still more now may the son of Benjamin: let him curse, because the Lord has told him.

12 It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.

אוּלַ֛י יִרְאֶ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה וְהֵשִׁ֨יב יְהוָ֥ה לִי֙ טֹובָ֔ה תַּ֥חַת קִלְלָתֹ֖ו הַיֹּ֥ום הַזֶּֽה׃

12 εἴ πως ἴδοι κύριος ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει μου καὶ ἐπιστρέψει μοι ἀγαθὰ ἀντὶ τῆς κατάρας αὐτοῦ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ. 12 εἴπως ἴδοι Κύριος ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει μου καὶ ἐπιστρέψει μοι ἀγαθὰ ἀντὶ τῆς κατάρας αὐτοῦ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ.
12 If by any means the Lord may look on my affliction, thus shall he return me good for his cursing this day. 12 If by any means the Lord may look on my affliction, thus shall he return me good for his cursing this day.

13 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill’s side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.

וַיֵּ֧לֶךְ דָּוִ֛ד וַאֲנָשָׁ֖יו בַּדָּ֑רֶךְ וְשִׁמְעִ֡י הֹלֵךְ֩ בְּצֵ֨לַע הָהָ֜ר לְעֻמָּתֹ֗ו הָלֹוךְ֙ וַיְקַלֵּ֔ל וַיְסַקֵּ֤ל בָּֽאֲבָנִים֙ לְעֻמָּתֹ֔ו וְעִפַּ֖ר בֶּעָפָֽר׃

13 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ Σεμεῒ ἐπορεύετο ἐκ πλευρᾶς τοῦ ὄρους ἐχόμενα αὐτοῦ πορευόμενος καὶ καταρώμενος καὶ λιθάζων ἐν λίθοις ἐκ πλαγίων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ χοῒ πάσσων. 13 καὶ ἐπορεύθης Δαυὶδ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ Σεμεῒ ἐπορεύετο ἐκ πλευρᾶς τοῦ ὄρους ἐχόμενα αὐτοῦ πορευόμενος καὶ καταρώμενος καὶ λιθάζων ἐν λίθοις ἐκ πλαγίων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ χοῒ πάσσων.
13 And David and all the men with him went on the way: and Semei went by the side of the hill next to him, cursing as he went, and casting stones at him, and sprinkling him with dirt. 13 And David and all the men with him went on the way: and Semei went by the side of the hill next to him, cursing as he went, and casting stones at him, and sprinkling him with dirt.

14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.

וַיָּבֹ֥א הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ וְכָל־הָעָ֥ם אֲשֶׁר־אִתֹּ֖ו עֲיֵפִ֑ים וַיִּנָּפֵ֖שׁ שָֽׁם׃

14 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐκλελυμένοι καὶ ἀνέψυξαν ἐκεῖ. 14 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐκλελυμένοι καὶ ἀνέψυξαν ἐκεῖ.
14 And the king, and all the people with him, came away and refreshed themselves there. 14 And the king, and all the people with him, came away and refreshed themselves there.

Absalom Enters Jerusalem

15 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israēl, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.

וְאַבְשָׁלֹ֗ום וְכָל־הָעָם֙ אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל בָּ֖אוּ יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וַאֲחִיתֹ֖פֶל אִתֹּֽו׃

15 Καὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ Ἀχιτοφὲλ μετ’ αὐτοῦ. 15 Καὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ Ἀχιτόφελ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
15 And Abessalom and all the men of Israēl went into Jerusalem, and Achitophel with him. 15 And Abessalom and all the men of Israēl went into Jerusalem, and Achitophel with him.

16 And it came to be, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.

וַיְהִ֗י כַּֽאֲשֶׁר־בָּ֞א חוּשַׁ֧י הָאַרְכִּ֛י רֵעֶ֥ה דָוִ֖ד אֶל־אַבְשָׁלֹ֑ום וַיֹּ֤אמֶר חוּשַׁי֙ אֶל־אַבְשָׁלֹ֔ם יְחִ֥י הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ יְחִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

16 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡνίκα ἦλθεν Χουσὶ ὁ Ἀρχὶ ἑταῖρος Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλὼμ καὶ εἶπεν Χουσὶ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλὼμ Ζήτω ὁ βασιλεύς. 16 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡνίκα ἦλθε Χουσὶ ὁ ἀρχιεταῖρος Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλώμ, καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλώμ· ζήτω ὁ βασιλεύς.
16 And it came to pass when Chusi the chief friend of David came to Abessalom, that Chusi said to Abessalom, Let the king live. 16 And it came to pass when Chusi the chief friend of David came to Abessalom, that Chusi said to Abessalom, Let the king live.

17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your kindness to your friend? why went you not with your friend?

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אַבְשָׁלֹום֙ אֶל־חוּשַׁ֔י זֶ֥ה חַסְדְּךָ֖ אֶת־רֵעֶ֑ךָ לָ֥מָּה לֹֽא־הָלַ֖כְתָּ אֶת־רֵעֶֽךָ׃

17 καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς Χουσὶ Τοῦτο τὸ ἔλεός σου μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου;
ἵνα τί οὐκ ἀπῆλθες μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου; 		17 καὶ εἶπε Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς Χουσί· τοῦτο τὸ ἔλεός σου μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου;
ἱνατί οὐκ ἀπῆλθες μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου;
17 And Abessalom said to Chusi, Is this your kindness to your friend? why went you not forth with your friend? 17 And Abessalom said to Chusi, Is this your kindness to your friend? why went you not forth with your friend?

18 And Hushai said unto Absalom, No; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israēl, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר חוּשַׁי֮ אֶל־אַבְשָׁלֹם֒ לֹ֕א כִּי֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר בָּחַ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה וְהָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֖ה וְכָל־אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אֶהְיֶ֖ה וְאִתֹּ֥ו אֵשֵֽׁב׃

18 καὶ εἶπεν Χουσὶ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλὼμ Οὐχί ἀλλὰ κατόπισθεν οὗ ἐξελέξατο κύριος καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὗτος καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραήλ, αὐτῷ ἔσομαι καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καθήσομαι· 18 καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλώμ· οὐχί, ἀλλὰ κατόπισθεν οὗ ἐξελέξατο Κύριος καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὗτος καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραήλ, αὐτῷ ἔσομαι καὶ μετὰ αὐτοῦ καθήσομαι·
18 And Chusi said to Abessalom, No, but following whom the Lord, and this people, and all Israēl have chosen, –his will I be, and with him I will dwell. 18 And Chusi said to Abessalom, No, but following whom the Lord, and this people, and all Israēl have chosen, –his will I be, and with him I will dwell.

19 And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in your father’s presence, so will I be in your presence.

וְהַשֵּׁנִ֗ית לְמִי֙ אֲנִ֣י אֶֽעֱבֹ֔ד הֲלֹ֖וא לִפְנֵ֣י בְנֹ֑ו כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר עָבַ֙דְתִּי֙ לִפְנֵ֣י אָבִ֔יךָ כֵּ֖ן אֶהְיֶ֥ה לְפָנֶֽיךָ׃

19 καὶ τὸ δεύτερον τίνι ἐγὼ δουλεύσω;
οὐχὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ;
καθάπερ ἐδούλευσα ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός σου, οὕτως ἔσομαι ἐνώπιόν σου. 		19 καὶ τὸ δεύτερον, τίνι ἐγὼ δουλεύσω;
οὐχὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ;
καθάπερ ἐδούλευσα ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός σου, οὕτως ἔσομαι ἐνώπιόν σου.
19 And again, whom shall I serve? should I not in the presence of his son? As I served in the sight of your father, so will I be in your presence. 19 And again, whom shall I serve? should I not in the presence of his son? As I served in the sight of your father, so will I be in your presence.

20 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אַבְשָׁלֹ֖ום אֶל־אֲחִיתֹ֑פֶל הָב֥וּ לָכֶ֛ם עֵצָ֖ה מַֽה־נַּעֲשֶֽׂה׃

20 καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς Ἀχιτοφὲλ Φέρετε ἑαυτοῖς βουλὴν τί ποιήσωμεν. 20 καὶ εἶπε Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς Ἀχιτόφελ · φέρετε ἑαυτοῖς βουλὴν τί ποιήσωμεν;
20 And Abessalom said to Achitophel, Deliberate among yourselves concerning what we should do. 20 And Abessalom said to Achitophel, Deliberate among yourselves concerning what we should do.

21 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto your father’s concubines, which he has left to keep the house; and all Israēl shall hear that you are abhorred of your father: then shall the hands of all that are with you be strong.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲחִיתֹ֙פֶל֙ אֶל־אַבְשָׁלֹ֔ם בֹּ֚וא אֶל־פִּלַגְשֵׁ֣י אָבִ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הִנִּ֖יחַ לִשְׁמֹ֣ור הַבָּ֑יִת וְשָׁמַ֤ע כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ כִּֽי־נִבְאַ֣שְׁתָּ אֶת־אָבִ֔יךָ וְחָ֣זְק֔וּ יְדֵ֖י כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִתָּֽךְ׃

21 καὶ εἶπεν Ἀχιτοφὲλ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλὼμ Εἴσελθε πρὸς τὰς παλλακὰς τοῦ πατρός σου, ἃς κατέλιπεν φυλάσσειν τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκούσεται πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι κατῄσχυνας τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ ἐνισχύσουσιν αἱ χεῖρες πάντων τῶν μετὰ σοῦ. 21 καὶ εἶπε Ἀχιτόφελ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλώμ· εἴσελθε πρὸς τὰς παλλακὰς τοῦ πατρός σου, ἃς κατέλιπε φυλάσσειν τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκούσεται πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι κατῄσχυνας τὸν πατέρα σου, καὶ ἐνισχύσουσιν αἱ χεῖρες πάντων τῶν μετὰ σοῦ.
21 And Achitophel said to Abessalom, Go in to your father’s concubines, whom he left to keep his house; and all Israēl shall hear that you have dishonoured your father; and the hands of all that are with you shall be strengthened. 21 And Achitophel said to Abessalom, Go in to your father’s concubines, whom he left to keep his house; and all Israēl shall hear that you have dishonoured your father; and the hands of all that are with you shall be strengthened.

22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israēl.

וַיַּטּ֧וּ לְאַבְשָׁלֹ֛ום הָאֹ֖הֶל עַל־הַגָּ֑ג וַיָּבֹ֤א אַבְשָׁלֹום֙ אֶל־פִּֽלַגְשֵׁ֣י אָבִ֔יו לְעֵינֵ֖י כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

22 καὶ ἔπηξαν τὴν σκηνὴν τῷ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τὰς παλλακὰς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς παντὸς Ἰσραήλ. 22 καὶ ἔπηξαν τὴν σκηνὴν τῷ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τὰς παλλακὰς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς παντὸς Ἰσραήλ.
22 And they pitched a tent for Abessalom on the roof, and Abessalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israēl. 22 And they pitched a tent for Abessalom on the roof, and Abessalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israēl.

23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.

וַעֲצַ֣ת אֲחִיתֹ֗פֶל אֲשֶׁ֤ר יָעַץ֙ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר יִשְׁאַל־ בִּדְבַ֣ר הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים כֵּ֚ן כָּל־עֲצַ֣ת אֲחִיתֹ֔פֶל גַּם־לְדָוִ֖ד גַּ֥ם לְאַבְשָׁלֹֽם׃

23 καὶ ἡ βουλὴ Ἀχιτοφέλ, ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταῖς πρώταις, ὃν τρόπον ἐπερωτήσῃ ἐν λόγῳ τοῦ θεοῦ, οὕτως πᾶσα ἡ βουλὴ τοῦ Ἀχιτοφὲλ καί γε τῷ Δαυὶδ καί γε τῷ Ἀβεσσαλώμ. 23 καὶ ἡ βουλὴ Ἀχιτόφελ, ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταῖς πρώταις, ὃν τρόπον ἐπερωτήσῃ τις ἐν λόγῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, οὕτως πᾶσα ἡ βουλὴ τοῦ Ἀχιτόφελ καί γε τῷ Δαυὶδ καί γε τῷ Ἀβεσσαλώμ.
23 And the counsel of Achitophel, which he counselled in former days, was as if one should inquire of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel both to David and also to Abessalom. 23 And the counsel of Achitophel, which he counselled in former days, was as if one should inquire of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel both to David and also to Abessalom.
