| 19 1 | Joab was told that the king was weeping and mourning for Absalom; | Joab reprimands David. 2Sm.19.1-8 | וַיֻּגַּד לְיֹואָב הִנֵּה הַמֶּלֶךְ בֹּכֶה וַיִּתְאַבֵּל עַל־אַבְשָׁלֹם׃ |
| 2 | and that day victory was turned to mourning for the whole army, because they heard how the king grieved for his son; | וַתְּהִי הַתְּשֻׁעָה בַּיֹּום הַהוּא לְאֵבֶל לְכָל־הָעָם כִּי־שָׁמַע הָעָם בַּיֹּום הַהוּא לֵאמֹר נֶעֱצַב הַמֶּלֶךְ עַל־בְּנֹו׃ | |
| 3 | they stole into the city like men ashamed to show their faces after a defeat in battle. | וַיִּתְגַּנֵּב הָעָם בַּיֹּום הַהוּא לָבֹוא הָעִיר כַּאֲשֶׁר יִתְגַּנֵּב הָעָם הַנִּכְלָמִים בְּנוּסָם בַּמִּלְחָמָה׃ | |
| 4 | The king hid his face and cried aloud, 'My son Absalom; O Absalom, my son, my son.' | וְהַמֶּלֶךְ לָאַט אֶת־פָּנָיו וַיִּזְעַק הַמֶּלֶךְ קֹול גָּדֹול בְּנִי אַבְשָׁלֹום אַבְשָׁלֹום בְּנִי בְנִי׃ ס | |
| 5 | But Joab came into the king's quarters and said to him, 'You have put to shame this day all your servants, who have saved you and your sons and daughters, your wives and your concubines. | וַיָּבֹא יֹואָב אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ הַבָּיִת וַיֹּאמֶר הֹבַשְׁתָּ הַיֹּום אֶת־פְּנֵי כָל־עֲבָדֶיךָ הַמְמַלְּטִים אֶת־נַפְשְׁךָ הַיֹּום וְאֵת נֶפֶשׁ בָּנֶיךָ וּבְנֹתֶיךָ וְנֶפֶשׁ נָשֶׁיךָ וְנֶפֶשׁ פִּלַגְשֶׁיךָ׃ | |
| 6 | You love those that hate you and hate those that love you; you have made us feel, officers and men alike, that we are nothing to you, for it is plain that if Absalom were still alive and all of us dead, you would be content. | לְאַהֲבָה אֶת־שֹׂנְאֶיךָ וְלִשְׂנֹא אֶת־אֹהֲבֶיךָ כִּי הִגַּדְתָּ הַיֹּום כִּי אֵין לְךָ שָׂרִים וַעֲבָדִים כִּי יָדַעְתִּי הַיֹּום כִּי כ= לֹא ק= לוּ אַבְשָׁלֹום חַי וְכֻלָּנוּ הַיֹּום מֵתִים כִּי־אָז יָשָׁר בְּעֵינֶיךָ׃ | |
| 7 | Now go at once and give your servants some encouragement; if you refuse, I swear by the LORD that not a man will stay with you tonight, and that would be a worse disaster than any you have suffered since your earliest days.' | וְעַתָּה קוּם צֵא וְדַבֵּר עַל־לֵב עֲבָדֶיךָ כִּי בַיהוָה נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי כִּי־אֵינְךָ יֹוצֵא אִם־יָלִין אִישׁ אִתְּךָ הַלַּיְלָה וְרָעָה לְךָ זֹאת מִכָּל־הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר־בָּאָה עָלֶיךָ מִנְּעֻרֶיךָ עַד־עָתָּה׃ ס | |
| 8 | Then the king rose and took his seat in the gate; and when the army was told that the king was sitting in the gate, they all appeared before him. MEANWHILE THE ISRAELITES had all scattered to their homes. | David's return to Jerusalem. 2Sm.19.8-18 | וַיָּקָם הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֵּשֶׁב בַּשָּׁעַר וּלְכָל־הָעָם הִגִּידוּ לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה הַמֶּלֶךְ יֹושֵׁב בַּשַּׁעַר וַיָּבֹא כָל־הָעָם לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְיִשְׂרָאֵל נָס אִישׁ לְאֹהָלָיו׃ ס |
