But that night the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,
In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people Israel, ‘Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’
So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.
For the sake of Your word and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed it to Your servant.
And now, O LORD God, confirm forever the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house. Do as You have promised,
And now, O Lord GOD, You are God! Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.
Uriah answered, “The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my master Joab and his soldiers are camped in the open field. How can I go to my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? As surely as you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do such a thing!”
Joab sent to David a full account of the battle
and instructed the messenger, “When you have finished giving the king all the details of the battle,
Then David told the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Do not let this matter upset you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen your attack against the city and demolish it.’ Encourage him with these words.”
And when the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Because he has done this thing and has shown no pity, he must pay for the lamb four times over.”
Why then have you despised the command of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You put Uriah the Hittite to the sword and took his wife as your own, for you have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites.
You have acted in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’”
Nevertheless, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the word of the LORD, the son born to you will surely die.”
“What is this you have done?” his servants asked. “While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but when he died, you got up and ate.”
Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has your brother Amnon been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar lived as a desolate woman in the house of her brother Absalom.
When King David heard all this, he was furious.
And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad, because he hated Amnon for disgracing his sister Tamar.
So now, my lord the king, do not take to heart the report that all the sons of the king are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”
So Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the sons of the king have arrived! It is just as your servant said.”
Then go to the king and speak these words to him.” And Joab put the words in her mouth.
Then go to the king and speak these words to him.” And Joab put the words in her mouth.
Then the woman said, “Please, may your servant speak a word to my lord the king?” “Speak,” he replied.
The woman asked, “Why have you devised a thing like this against the people of God? When the king says this, does he not convict himself, since he has not brought back his own banished son?
Now therefore, I have come to present this matter to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. Your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king. Perhaps he will grant the request of his maidservant.
Now therefore, I have come to present this matter to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. Your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king. Perhaps he will grant the request of his maidservant.
And now your servant says, ‘May the word of my lord the king bring me rest, for my lord the king is able to discern good and evil, just like the angel of God. May the LORD your God be with you.’”
Then the king said to the woman, “I am going to ask you something; do not conceal it from me!” “Let my lord the king speak,” she replied.
So the king asked, “Is the hand of Joab behind all this?” The woman answered, “As surely as you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything that my lord the king says. Yes, your servant Joab is the one who gave me orders; he told your maidservant exactly what to say.
Joab your servant has done this to bring about this change of affairs, but my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know everything that happens in the land.”
Joab your servant has done this to bring about this change of affairs, but my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know everything that happens in the land.”
Then the king said to Joab, “I hereby grant this request. Go, bring back the young man Absalom.”
Joab fell facedown in homage and blessed the king. “Today,” said Joab, “your servant knows that he has found favor with you, my lord the king, because the king has granted his request.”
Absalom would say, “Look, your claims are good and right, but the king has no deputy to hear you.”
Absalom did this to all the Israelites who came to the king for justice. In this way he stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
Two hundred men from Jerusalem accompanied Absalom. They had been invited as guests and they went along innocently, for they knew nothing about the matter.
See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be there with you? Report to them everything you hear from the king’s palace.
Indeed, their two sons, Ahimaaz son of Zadok and Jonathan son of Abiathar, are there with them. Send them to me with everything you hear.”
Now in those days the advice of Ahithophel was like the consultation of the word of God. Such was the regard that both David and Absalom had for Ahithophel’s advice.
This proposal seemed good to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
So Hushai came to Absalom, who told him, “Ahithophel has spoken this proposal. Should we carry it out? If not, what do you say?”
So Hushai came to Absalom, who told him, “Ahithophel has spoken this proposal. Should we carry it out? If not, what do you say?”
Then the man’s wife took a covering and spread it over the mouth of the well, scattering grain over it so nobody would know a thing.
Now the king had commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, “Treat the young man Absalom gently for my sake.” And all the people heard the king’s orders to each of the commanders regarding Absalom.
If I had jeopardized my own life—and nothing is hidden from the king—you would have abandoned me.”
Then King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests: “Say to the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to restore the king to his palace, since the talk of all Israel has reached the king at his quarters?
The king replied, “Why say any more? I hereby declare that you and Ziba are to divide the land.”
And all the men of Judah replied to the men of Israel, “We did this because the king is our relative. Why does this anger you? Have we ever eaten at the king’s expense or received anything for ourselves?”
