A Novel of King David
David in 2 Samuel 16
(2 Samuel 16:1) And David had passed on a little from the top. And, behold, Ziba
the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of asses saddled, and upon
them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and a
hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
(2 Samuel 16:2) And the king said to Ziba, What are these to you? And Ziba said,
The asses are for the king's household to ride upon. And the bread and summer
fruit are for the young men to eat. And the wine is so that the ones who are
faint in the wilderness may drink.
(2 Samuel 16:3) And the king said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said
to the king, Behold, he remains at Jerusalem. For he said, Today the house of
Israel shall restore to me the kingdom of my father.
(2 Samuel 16:4) And the king said to Ziba, Behold, All that belonged to
Mephibosheth is yours. And Ziba said, I humbly beg you that I may find grace in
your sight, my lord, O king.
(2 Samuel 16:5) And King David came to Bahurim. And, behold, a man of the house
of Saul came out from there, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera. He came
out, and he came cursing.
(2 Samuel 16:6) And he threw 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.
(2 Samuel 16:7) And Shimei said this in his cursing, Go out, O man of blood, O
man of Belial.
(2 Samuel 16:8) Jehovah has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul,
in whose place you have reigned. And Jehovah has delivered the kingdom into the
hand of Absalom your son. And behold, you are taken in your mischief, because
you are a man of blood!
(2 Samuel 16:9) And Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, Why should this
dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.
(2 Samuel 16:10) And the king said, What have I to do with you, sons of Zeruiah?
Let him curse, because Jehovah has said to him, Curse David. Who then shall say,
Why have you done so?
(2 Samuel 16:11) And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, Behold, my
son, who came forth from my bowels, seeks my life; and surely now this
Benjamite? Let him alone and let him curse, for Jehovah has spoken to him.
(2 Samuel 16:12) It may be that Jehovah will look on my affliction, and that
Jehovah will repay me with good for his cursing this day.
(2 Samuel 16:13) And David and his men went by the highway. And Shimei went
along on the hillside over across from him, and cursed as he went, and threw
stones at him, and threw dust.
(2 Samuel 16:14) And the king, and all the people with him arrived weary. And
they refreshed themselves there.
(2 Samuel 16:15) And Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to
Jerusalem. And Ahithophel went with him.
(2 Samuel 16:16) And it happened, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, had
come to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, Let the king live, let the king live!
(2 Samuel 16:17) And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your kindness to your
friend? Why did you not go with your friend?
(2 Samuel 16:18) And Hushai said to Absalom, No, but whom Jehovah and this
people, and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, and I will stay with
him.
(2 Samuel 16:19) 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 I will be in
your presence.
(2 Samuel 16:20) And Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your advice. What shall we
do?
(2 Samuel 16:21) And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's
concubines, that he left to keep the house. And all Israel shall hear that you
are abhorred by your father. And the hands of all who are with you will be
strong.
(2 Samuel 16:22) And they spread Absalom a tent on the top of the house, and
Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
(2 Samuel 16:23) And the advice of Ahithophel, which he advised in those days,
was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God. So was all the advice of
Ahithophel, both with David and with Absalom.
