II Samuel

1And 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 on them 200 loaves of bread, and 100 bunches of raisins, and 100 of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.

1καὶ 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.	1Καὶ 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.
1And David passed on a little way from Roōs; and, suddenly, Siba the servant of Memphibosthe came to meet him; and he had a pair of loaded donkeys, and on them 200 loaves, and 100 bunches of raisins, and 100 cakes of dates, and a container of wine.	1And David passed on a little way from Roōs; and, suddenly, Siba the servant of Memphibosthe came to meet him; and he had a pair of loaded donkeys, and on them 200 loaves, and 100 bunches of raisins, and 100 cakes of dates, and a container of wine.

2And the king said to Ziba, “What do you mean by these?” And Ziba said, “The donkeys are 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.”

2καὶ 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.	2καὶ 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.
2And 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.”	2And 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.”

3And the king said, “And where is your master’s son?” And Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he resides at Jerusalem; for he said, ‘Today shall the house of Israēl restore me the kingdom of my father.’ ”

3καὶ 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.	3καὶ 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.
3And 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, the house of Israēl will restore the kingdom of my father to me.’ ”	3And 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, the house of Israēl will restore the kingdom of my father to me.’ ”

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

4καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Σιβὰ Ἰδοὺ σοί πάντα, ὅσα ἐστὶν τῷ Μεμφιβοσθέ. καὶ εἶπεν Σιβὰ προσκυνήσας εὕροιμι χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ.	4καὶ εἶπε ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Σιβά· ἰδού σοι πάντας, ὅσα ἐστὶ Μεμφιβοσθέ. καὶ εἶπε Σιβὰ προσκυνήσας· εὕροιμι χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ.
4And the king said to Siba, “Listen, all that is Memphibosthe’s is yours.” And after doing obeisance, Siba said, “May I find grace in your eyes, my lord, oh king.”	4And the king said to Siba, “Listen, all that is Memphibosthe’s is yours.” And after doing obeisance, Siba said, “May I find grace in your eyes, my lord, oh king.”

5And 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 continuously as he came.

5καὶ 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	5καὶ 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
5And king David came to Baurim; and, suddenly, a man came out from there. He was from the family of the house of Saul, and his name was Shimei the son of Gera. He came out cursing as he came out;	5And king David came to Baurim; and, suddenly, a man came out from there. He was from the family of the house of Saul, and his name was Shimei the son of Gera. He came out cursing as he came out;

6And 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.

6καὶ 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.	6καὶ 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.
6while throwing stones at David and all the servants of king David. All the people and all the mighty men were on the right and left side of the king.	6while throwing stones at David and all the servants of king David. All the people and all the mighty men were on the right and left side of the king.

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

7καὶ οὕτως ἔλεγεν Σεμεῒ ἐν τῷ καταρᾶσθαι αὐτόν Ἔξελθε ἔξελθε, ἀνὴρ αἱμάτων καὶ ἀνὴρ ὁ παράνομος·	7καὶ οὕτως ἔλεγε Σεμεῒ ἐν τῷ καταρᾶσθαι αὐτόν· ἔξελθε, ἔξελθε ἀνὴρ αἱμάτων καὶ ἀνὴρ ὁ παράνομος·
7And thus Shimei said when he cursed him, “Go away! Go away, you bloody man, you lawless man!	7And thus Shimei said when he cursed him, “Go away! Go away, you bloody man, you lawless man!

8Yahweh has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead you have reigned; and Yahweh 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.”

8ἐπέστρεψεν 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.	8ἐπέστρεψεν 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.
8The Lord has returned on 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 Abessalōm your son. And, look, you are caught in your evil, because you are a bloody man.”	8The Lord has returned on 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 Abessalōm your son. And, look, you are caught in your evil, because you are a bloody man.”

9Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over, please, and take off his head.”

9καὶ 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.	9καὶ 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.
9And Abessa the son of Saruia said to the king, “Why does this dead dog keep cursing my lord the king? Please let me cross over now and remove his head.”	9And Abessa the son of Saruia said to the king, “Why does this dead dog keep cursing my lord the king? Please let me cross over now and remove his head.”

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

10καὶ 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;	10καὶ 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;
10And the king said, “What have I to do with you, sons of Saruia? Leave him alone, and so let him curse, because the Lord has told him to curse David; and who shall say, ‘Why have you done thus?’ ”	10And the king said, “What have I to do with you, sons of Saruia? Leave him alone, and so let him curse, because the Lord has told him to curse David; and who shall say, ‘Why have you done thus?’ ”

11And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who 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 Yahweh has directed him.

11καὶ 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·	11καὶ 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·
11And David said to Abessa and to all his servants, “Listen, my son who came forth out of my body seeks my life; and still more, now the son of Benjamin. Let him curse, because the Lord has told him.	11And David said to Abessa and to all his servants, “Listen, my son who came forth out of my body seeks my life; and still more, now the son of Benjamin. Let him curse, because the Lord has told him.

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

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

13And 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.

13καὶ 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.	13καὶ 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.
13And David and all the men with him went on the way; and Shimei went by the side of the hill next to him, cursing as he went, and throwing stones beside him, and sprinkling him with dirt.	13And David and all the men with him went on the way; and Shimei went by the side of the hill next to him, cursing as he went, and throwing stones beside him, and sprinkling him with dirt.

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

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

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

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

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

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

17And Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why didn’t you go with your friend?”

17καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς Χουσὶ Τοῦτο τὸ ἔλεός σου μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου; ἵνα τί οὐκ ἀπῆλθες μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου;	17καὶ εἶπε Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς Χουσί· τοῦτο τὸ ἔλεός σου μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου; ἱνατί οὐκ ἀπῆλθες μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου;
17And Abessalom said to Chusi, “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why didn’t you go with your friend?”	17And Abessalom said to Chusi, “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why didn’t you go with your friend?”

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

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

19And 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.”

19καὶ τὸ δεύτερον τίνι ἐγὼ δουλεύσω; οὐχὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ; καθάπερ ἐδούλευσα ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός σου, οὕτως ἔσομαι ἐνώπιόν σου.	19καὶ τὸ δεύτερον, τίνι ἐγὼ δουλεύσω; οὐχὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ; καθάπερ ἐδούλευσα ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός σου, οὕτως ἔσομαι ἐνώπιόν σου.
19And again, to whom shall I serve, except in the presence of his son? As I served in the presence of your father, so will I be in the presence of you.	19And again, to whom shall I serve, except in the presence of his son? As I served in the presence of your father, so will I be in the presence of you.”

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

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

21And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to 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 the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”

21καὶ 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.	21καὶ 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.
21And Achitophel said to Abessalom, “Enter sexually with 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.”	21And Achitophel said to Abessalom, “Enter sexually with 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.”

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

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

23And 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.

23καὶ 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.	23καὶ 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.
23And 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.	23And 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.
