14 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

25Now in all Israel there was no one so much to be praised for his beauty as Absalom; from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.Absalom is reconciled to David. 2Sm.14.25-33וּכְאַבְשָׁלֹום לֹא־הָיָה אִישׁ־יָפֶה בְּכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל לְהַלֵּל מְאֹד מִכַּף רַגְלֹו וְעַד קָדְקֳדֹו לֹא־הָיָה בֹו מוּם׃
26And when he cut the hair of his head (for at the end of every year he used to cut it; when it was heavy on him, he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head, two hundred shekels by the king's weight. וּבְגַלְּחֹו אֶת־רֹאשֹׁו וְהָיָה מִקֵּץ יָמִים לַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר יְגַלֵּחַ כִּי־כָבֵד עָלָיו וְגִלְּחֹו וְשָׁקַל אֶת־שְׂעַר רֹאשֹׁו מָאתַיִם שְׁקָלִים בְּאֶבֶן הַמֶּלֶךְ׃
27There were born to Absalom three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a beautiful woman. וַיִּוָּלְדוּ לְאַבְשָׁלֹום שְׁלֹושָׁה בָנִים וּבַת אַחַת וּשְׁמָהּ תָּמָר הִיא הָיְתָה אִשָּׁה יְפַת מַרְאֶה׃ ף
28So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, without coming into the king's presence. וַיֵּשֶׁב אַבְשָׁלֹום בִּירוּשָׁלִַם שְׁנָתַיִם יָמִים וּפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ לֹא רָאָה׃
29Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but Joab would not come to him. And he sent a second time, but Joab would not come. וַיִּשְׁלַח אַבְשָׁלֹום אֶל־יֹואָב לִשְׁלֹחַ אֹתֹו אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וְלֹא אָבָה לָבֹוא אֵלָיו וַיִּשְׁלַח עֹוד שֵׁנִית וְלֹא אָבָה לָבֹוא׃
30Then he said to his servants, "See, Joab's field is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire." So Absalom's servants set the field on fire. וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־עֲבָדָיו רְאוּ חֶלְקַת יֹואָב אֶל־יָדִי וְלֹו־שָׁם שְׂעֹרִים לְכוּ כ= וְהֹוצִּתֵיהָ ק= וְהַצִּיתוּהָ בָאֵשׁ וַיַּצִּתוּ עַבְדֵי אַבְשָׁלֹום אֶת־הַחֶלְקָה בָּאֵשׁ׃ ף
31Then Joab arose and went to Absalom at his house, and said to him, "Why have your servants set my field on fire?" וַיָּקָם יֹואָב וַיָּבֹא אֶל־אַבְשָׁלֹום הַבָּיְתָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו לָמָּה הִצִּיתוּ עֲבָדֶךָ אֶת־הַחֶלְקָה אֲשֶׁר־לִי בָּאֵשׁ׃
32Absalom answered Joab, "Behold, I sent word to you, 'Come here, that I may send you to the king, to ask, "Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still." Now therefore let me go into the presence of the king; and if there is guilt in me, let him kill me.' " וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְשָׁלֹום אֶל־יֹואָב הִנֵּה שָׁלַחְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ לֵאמֹר בֹּא הֵנָּה וְאֶשְׁלְחָה אֹתְךָ אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ לֵאמֹר לָמָּה בָּאתִי מִגְּשׁוּר טֹוב לִי עֹד אֲנִי־שָׁם וְעַתָּה אֶרְאֶה פְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאִם־יֶשׁ־בִּי עָוֹן וֶהֱמִתָנִי׃
33Then Joab went to the king, and told him; and he summoned Absalom. So he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom. וַיָּבֹא יֹואָב אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיַּגֶּד־לֹו וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־אַבְשָׁלֹום וַיָּבֹא אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ לֹו עַל־אַפָּיו אַרְצָה לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיִּשַּׁק הַמֶּלֶךְ לְאַבְשָׁלֹום׃ ף

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
