Talált 121 Eredmények: Absalom's Rebellion
This Absalom was a man of good presence and famed for his beauty, none like him in all Israel; from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head was no blemish to be found; (2 Samuel 14, 25)
So for two years Absalom was in Jerusalem without sight of the king; (2 Samuel 14, 28)
then Absalom said to his servants, You know that field of Joab’s next to mine, that is under barley; go and set fire to it. So Absalom’s men set fire to the crop, and now Joab’s men went to find him with their garments torn about them, and told him Absalom had had part of his field burned. (2 Samuel 14, 30)
Thereupon Joab went to see Absalom at his house, and asked, What means it, that thy men have set fire to my crop? (2 Samuel 14, 31)
Why, answered Absalom, I was fain to see thee; it was my thought to send thee to the king, and ask him why he brought me home from Gessur. Better have stayed there; pray win me admittance to the king’s presence, or let him put me to death if he cannot forgive the wrong. (2 Samuel 14, 32)
So Joab went and repeated this to the king, and Absalom was summoned into the king’s presence. Low he bowed before him, with his face to the ground; but David greeted Absalom with a kiss. (2 Samuel 14, 33)
And now Absalom must drive in state, with chariots and outriders, and fifty men that ran before him. (2 Samuel 15, 1)
telling him, Thy pleadings seem to me well-founded and just, but the king has not appointed any judge to try thy cause. Ah, said Absalom, (2 Samuel 15, 3)
Then, in the fortieth year of the reign,✻ Absalom said to David, Grant me leave to go to Hebron and pay a vow I made to the Lord. (2 Samuel 15, 7)
and meanwhile he had sent agents of his throughout all the tribes of Israel, bidding them wait till they heard the trumpet sound, and then raise the cry, Absalom is king! Absalom reigns at Hebron! (2 Samuel 15, 10)
He also invited from Gilo Achitophel, the Gilonite that was David’s own counsellor. So Absalom began to offer his victims, and his conspiracy grew ever stronger, and the number ever greater that came to his support. (2 Samuel 15, 12)
Soon a messenger came and told David that the whole of Israel was giving its allegiance to Absalom; (2 Samuel 15, 13)
