15 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

15 1After this Absalom got himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.Absalom plans rebellion. 2Sm.15.1-12וַיְהִי מֵאַחֲרֵי כֵן וַיַּעַשׂ לֹו אַבְשָׁלֹום מֶרְכָּבָה וְסֻסִים וַחֲמִשִּׁים אִישׁ רָצִים לְפָנָיו׃
2And Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the way of the gate; and when any man had a suit to come before the king for judgment, Absalom would call to him, and say, "From what city are you?" And when he said, "Your servant is of such and such a tribe in Israel," וְהִשְׁכִּים אַבְשָׁלֹום וְעָמַד עַל־יַד דֶּרֶךְ הַשָּׁעַר וַיְהִי כָּל־הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־יִהְיֶה־לֹּו־רִיב לָבֹוא אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ לַמִּשְׁפָּט וַיִּקְרָא אַבְשָׁלֹום אֵלָיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֵי־מִזֶּה עִיר אַתָּה וַיֹּאמֶר מֵאַחַד שִׁבְטֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדֶּךָ׃
3Absalom would say to him, "See, your claims are good and right; but there is no man deputed by the king to hear you." וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אַבְשָׁלֹום רְאֵה דְבָרֶךָ טֹובִים וּנְכֹחִים וְשֹׁמֵעַ אֵין־לְךָ מֵאֵת הַמֶּלֶךְ׃
4Absalom said moreover, "Oh that I were judge in the land! Then every man with a suit or cause might come to me, and I would give him justice." וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְשָׁלֹום מִי־יְשִׂמֵנִי שֹׁפֵט בָּאָרֶץ וְעָלַי יָבֹוא כָּל־אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־יִהְיֶה־לֹּו־רִיב וּמִשְׁפָּט וְהִצְדַּקְתִּיו׃
5And whenever a man came near to do obeisance to him, he would put out his hand, and take hold of him, and kiss him. וְהָיָה בִּקְרָב־אִישׁ לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֹת לֹו וְשָׁלַח אֶת־יָדֹו וְהֶחֱזִיק לֹו וְנָשַׁק לֹו׃
6Thus Absalom did to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. וַיַּעַשׂ אַבְשָׁלֹום כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה לְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר־יָבֹאוּ לַמִּשְׁפָּט אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיְגַנֵּב אַבְשָׁלֹום אֶת־לֵב אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ ף
7And at the end of four years Absalom said to the king, "Pray let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Yahweh, in Hebron. וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְשָׁלֹום אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵלֲכָה נָּא וַאֲשַׁלֵּם אֶת־נִדְרִי אֲשֶׁר־נָדַרְתִּי לַיהוָה בְּחֶבְרֹון׃
8For your servant vowed a vow while I dwelt at Geshur in Aram, saying, 'If Yahweh will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will offer worship to Yahweh.' " כִּי־נֵדֶר נָדַר עַבְדְּךָ בְּשִׁבְתִּי בִגְשׁוּר בַּאֲרָם לֵאמֹר אִם־כ= יְשִׁיב ק= יָשֹׁוב יְשִׁיבֵנִי יְהוָה יְרוּשָׁלִַם וְעָבַדְתִּי אֶת־יְהוָה׃
9The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose, and went to Hebron. וַיֹּאמֶר־לֹו הַמֶּלֶךְ לֵךְ בְּשָׁלֹום וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלֶךְ חֶבְרֹונָה׃ ף
10But Absalom sent secret messengers throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then say, 'Absalom is king at Hebron!" וַיִּשְׁלַח אַבְשָׁלֹום מְרַגְּלִים בְּכָל־שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר כְּשָׁמְעֲכֶם אֶת־קֹול הַשֹּׁפָר וַאֲמַרְתֶּם מָלַךְ אַבְשָׁלֹום בְּחֶבְרֹון׃
11With Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem who were invited guests, and they went in their simplicity, and knew nothing. וְאֶת־אַבְשָׁלֹום הָלְכוּ מָאתַיִם אִישׁ מִירוּשָׁלִַם קְרֻאִים וְהֹלְכִים לְתֻםָּם וְלֹא יָדְעוּ כָּל־דָּבָר׃
12And while Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city Giloh. And the conspiracy grew strong, and the people with Absalom kept increasing. וַיִּשְׁלַח אַבְשָׁלֹום אֶת־אֲחִיתֹפֶל הַגִּילֹנִי יֹועֵץ דָּוִד מֵעִירֹו מִגִּלֹה בְּזָבְחֹו אֶת־הַזְּבָחִים וַיְהִי הַקֶּשֶׁר אַמִּץ וְהָעָם הֹולֵךְ וָרָב אֶת־אַבְשָׁלֹום׃

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.
