Löydetty 2623 Tulokset: King David
One charge the king laid upon Joab and Abisai and Ethai alike, Spare me my son Absalom; and this charge about Absalom was so given to each of them that the men in the ranks could hear it. (2 Samuel 18, 5)
And the Israelites were routed by David’s men, with great loss; twenty thousand men fell that day, (2 Samuel 18, 7)
Some of David’s men encountered Absalom himself, riding on a mule; and away the mule went, under the tangled branches of a great oak, which caught him by the head and kept him hanging there between earth and sky, while the beast that carried him pressed on. (2 Samuel 18, 9)
Nay, said he, thou mightest count out a thousand silver pieces into my purse, and still I would not lift a hand against the king’s son. We were all of us within hearing when the king bade thee and Abisai and Ethai spare his son Absalom. (2 Samuel 18, 12)
It would have been at the risk of my life, and the thing would never have passed unnoticed by the king; why, thou wouldst thyself be laying information against me. (2 Samuel 18, 13)
(The monument which stands in the King’s Vale is one which Absalom erected for himself in his own life-time, thinking thus to perpetuate his name, since he had no son to follow him. And as he gave this monument his own name, it has been called Absalom’s Mark ever since.) (2 Samuel 18, 18)
And now Achimaas, son of Sadoc, asked leave to run and tell the king how God had punished his enemies, (2 Samuel 18, 19)
but Joab told him, Better some other day than this for bearing the message; I would not have thee tell the news to-day; here is a king’s son dead. (2 Samuel 18, 20)
Afterwards Joab bade Chusi go and tell the king what he had seen;✻ so Chusi did reverence to him, and ran. (2 Samuel 18, 21)
David was sitting between the two gates; and now the watchman that stood above the roof over the gate, high up on the wall, looked up and saw a man running, all alone, (2 Samuel 18, 24)
and cried out to let the king know of it. If he is alone, the king said, he has good news to tell. Then, as the runner came nearer, (2 Samuel 18, 25)
the watchman saw a second courier on his way, and cried out from the roof, I see a second man running all alone. He too, the king said, is a welcome messenger. (2 Samuel 18, 26)
