2Sa 18:1
And David numbered the people that were with him, and set
captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
2Sa 18:2 And David
sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part
under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under
the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely
go forth with you myself also.
2Sa 18:3 But the
people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not
care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou
art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou
succour us out of the city.
2Sa 18:4 And the
king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the
gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.
2Sa 18:5 And the
king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my
sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard
when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
2Sa 18:6 So the
people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood
of Ephraim;
2Sa 18:7 Where the
people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a
great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men.
2Sa 18:8 For the
battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood
devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
2Sa 18:9 And
Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule
went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the
oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was
under him went away.
2Sa 18:10 And a
certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom
hanged in an oak.
2Sa 18:11 And Joab
said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why
didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels
of silver, and a girdle.
2Sa 18:12 And the
man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver
in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's
son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying,
Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.
2Sa 18:13
Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for
there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set
thyself against me.
2Sa 18:14 Then
said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand,
and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in
the midst of the oak.
2Sa 18:15 And ten
young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew
him.
2Sa 18:16 And Joab
blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab
held back the people.
2Sa 18:17 And they
took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great
heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent.
2Sa 18:18 Now
Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is
in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance:
and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day,
Absalom's place.
2Sa 18:19 Then
said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how
that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.
2Sa 18:20 And Joab
said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear
tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the
king's son is dead.
2Sa 18:21 Then
said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed
himself unto Joab, and ran.
2Sa 18:22 Then
said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray
thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son,
seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?
2Sa 18:23 But
howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz
ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.
2Sa 18:24 And
David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the
gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man
running alone.
2Sa 18:25 And the
watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there
is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near.
2Sa 18:26 And the
watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and
said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also
bringeth tidings.
2Sa 18:27 And the
watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of
Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and
cometh with good tidings.
2Sa 18:28 And
Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the
earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the LORD thy
God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord
the king.
2Sa 18:29 And the
king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent
the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew
not what it was.
2Sa 18:30 And the
king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned
aside, and stood still.
2Sa 18:31 And,
behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD
hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.
2Sa 18:32 And the
king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The
enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee
hurt, be as that young man is.
2Sa 18:33 And the
king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as
he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I
had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
2Sa 19:1
And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
2Sa 19:2 And the
victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the
people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son.
2Sa 19:3 And the
people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed
steal away when they flee in battle.
2Sa 19:4 But the
king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom,
O Absalom, my son, my son!
2Sa 19:5 And Joab
came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces
of all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy
sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy
concubines;
2Sa 19:6 In that
thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this
day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive,
that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased
thee well.
2Sa 19:7 Now
therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear
by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this
night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from
thy youth until now.
2Sa 19:8 Then the
king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying,
Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king:
for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
2Sa 19:9 And all
the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king
saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of
the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.
2Sa 19:10 And
Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak
ye not a word of bringing the king back?
Joh 20:1
The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it
was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the
sepulchre.
Joh 20:2 Then she
runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus
loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre,
and we know not where they have laid him.
Joh 20:3 Peter
therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
Joh 20:4 So they
ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to
the sepulchre.
Joh 20:5 And he
stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he
not in.
Joh 20:6 Then
cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the
linen clothes lie,
Joh 20:7 And the
napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped
together in a place by itself.
Joh 20:8 Then went
in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and
believed.
Joh 20:9 For as
yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
Joh 20:10 Then the
disciples went away again unto their own home.
Joh 20:11 But Mary
stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and
looked into the sepulchre,
Joh 20:12 And
seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the
feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
Joh 20:13 And they
say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have
taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
Joh 20:14 And when
she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew
not that it was Jesus.
Joh 20:15 Jesus
saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him
to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me
where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
Joh 20:16 Jesus
saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is
to say, Master.
Joh 20:17 Jesus
saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to
my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to
my God, and your God.
Joh 20:18 Mary
Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that
he had spoken these things unto her.
Joh 20:19 Then the
same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors
were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus
and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Joh 20:20 And when
he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were
the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
Joh 20:21 Then
said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath
sent me, even so send I you.
Joh 20:22 And when
he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye
the Holy Ghost:
Joh 20:23 Whose
soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins
ye retain, they are retained.
Joh 20:24 But
Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
Joh 20:25 The
other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said
unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my
finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will
not believe.
Joh 20:26 And
after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then
came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be
unto you.
Joh 20:27 Then
saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach
hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but
believing.
Joh 20:28 And
Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Joh 20:29 Jesus
saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are
they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Joh 20:30 And many
other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not
written in this book:
Joh 20:31 But
these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
