5: And when cameH0935 KingH4428 DavidH1732 toH5704 Bahurim,H0980 and there was,H2009 from thereH8033 a manH0376 comingH3318 from the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of Saul,H7586 and whose name [was]H8034 Shimei,H8096 sonH1121 of Gera-H1617 He came out,H3318 as he cameH3318 and cursing continuously.H7043

9: And saidH0559 AbishaiH0052 sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 toH0413 the king,H4428 whyH4100 should curseH7043 dogH3611 deadH4191 thisH2088 -H0853 my lordH0113 the king?H4428 let me go over,H5674 please,H4994 and take offH5493 -H0853 his head.H7218
10: But said,H0559 the kingH4428 whatH4100 you sonsH1121 of Zeruiah?H6870 ifH3588 he curses,H7043 becauseH3588 YahwehH3068 has saidH0559 CurseH7043 -H0853 David.H1732 And whoH4310 then shall say,H0559 whyH4069 have you doneH6213 so?H3651
11: and saidH0559 DavidH1732 toH0413 Abishai,H0052 andH0413 allH3605 his servants,H5650 See how,H2009 my son,H1121 whoH0834 cameH3318 from my own body,H4578 seeksH1245 -H0853 my life-H5315 andH0637 how much moreH3588 nowH6258 [may this] BenjamiteH1145 let aloneH3240 and let him curse-H7043 for soH3588 has orderedH0559 Yahweh.H3068
12: It may be thatH0194 will lookH7200 YahwehH3068 on my afflictionH5771 that will repayH7725 YahwehH3068 with goodH2896 forH8478 his cursingH7045 dayH3117 this.H2088
13: And as wentH1980 DavidH1732 and his menH0376 along the road,H1870 and ShimeiH8096 went alongH1980 sideH6763 the hillsideH2022 opposite himH5980 as he went,H1980 and cursedH7043 and threwH5619 stonesH0068 at himH5980 and kicked upH6080 dust.H6083
14: And becameH0935 the king,H4428 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 who [were]H0834 with himH0854 weary,H5889 so they refreshed themselvesH5314 there.H8033
15: And Meanwhile Absalom,H0053 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 the menH0376 of Israel,H3478 cameH0935 to Jerusalem,H3389 and Ahithophel [was]H0302 with him.H0854
16: And so it was,H1961 whenH0834 cameH0935 HushaiH2365 the Archite,H0757 friend,H7463 of DavidH1732 toH0413 Absalom,H0053 and saidH0559 HushaiH2365 toH0413 Absalom,H0053 [Long] liveH2421 the king,H4428 [Long] liveH2421 the king.H4428
17: So saidH0559 AbsalomH0053 toH0413 Hushai,H2365 [Is] thisH2088 your loyaltyH2617 toH0854 your friend?H7453 whyH4100 notH3808 did you goH1980 withH0854 your friend?H7453
18: and saidH0559 HushaiH2365 toH0413 Absalom,H0053 No-H3808 butH3588 whomH0834 choose,H0977 Yahweh,H3068 and people,H5971 thisH2088 and allH3605 the menH0376 of Israel,H3478 hisH3808 I will be,H1961 and with himH0854 I will remain.H3427
19: And the second [reason],H8145 whomH4310 should IH0589 serve?H5647 [Should [I] not [serve]H3808 in the presenceH6440 of his son?H1121 asH0834 I have servedH5647 in presence,H6440 of your fatherH0001 soH3651 will I beH1961 in your presence.H6440
20: And saidH0559 AbsalomH0053 toH0413 Ahithophel,H0302 GiveH3051 counselH6098 as to whatH4100 we should do.H6213
21: And saidH0559 AhithophelH0302 toH0413 Absalom,H0053 go inH0935 toH0413 concubines,H6370 of your fatherH0001 whomH0834 he has leftH3240 to keepH8104 the house-H1004 and will hearH8085 allH3605 IsraelH3478 thatH3588 you are abhorredH0887 byH0854 your father.H0001 And will be strong.H2388 The handsH3027 of allH3605 who areH0834 with you.H0854
22: So they pitchedH5186 for AbsalomH0053 a tentH0168 onH5921 the top of the houseH1406 and went inH0935 AbsalomH0053 toH0413 concubinesH6370 of his fatherH0001 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 Israel.H3478
23: And the adviceH6098 of Ahithophel,H0302 whichH0834 he gaveH3289 in days,H3117 thoseH1992 [was] as ifH0834 had inquiredH7592 concubines oneH0376 at the oracleH1697 of God-H0430 soH3651 [was] allH3605 the adviceH6098 of AhithophelH0302 bothH1571 with DavidH1732 andH1571 with Absalom.H0053
