1.Joab was told, "The king is weeping and mourning for Absalom."
2.And for the whole army the victory that day was turned into mourning, because on that day the troops heard it said, "The king is grieving for his son."
3.The men stole into the city that day as men steal in who are ashamed when they flee from battle.
4.The king covered his face and cried aloud. "O my son Absalom! O son my son!"
5.Then Joab went into the house to the king and said, "Today you have humiliated all your men, who have just saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and the lives of your wives and concubines.
6.You love those who hate you and hate those who love you. You have made it clear today that the commanders and their men mean nothing to you. I see that you would be pleased if Absalom were alive today and all of us were dead.
7.Throughout the tribe of Israel, the people were all arguing with each other, saying, "The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies; he is the one who rescued us from the hand of the Philistines. But now he has fled the country because of Absalom;
10.and Absalom, whom we anointed to rule over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?"
11.King David sent this message to Zadok and Ahiathar, the priests: "Ask the elders of Judah, 'Why should you be the last to bring the king back to his palace, since what is being said throughout Israel has reached the king at his quarters?
12.You are my brothers, my own flesh and blood. So why should you be the last to bring back the king?'
13.And say to Amasa, 'Are you not my own flesh and blood? May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if from now on you are not the commander of my army in place of Joab.' "
14.He won over the hearts of all the men of Judah as though they were one man. They sent word to the king, "Return, you and all your men.'
15.Then the king returned and went as far as the Jordan.
Now the men of Judah had come to Gilgal to go out and meet the king and bring him across the Jordan.
16.Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, hurried down with the men of Judah to meet King David.
17.With him were a thousand Benjamites, along with Ziba, the steward of Saul's household, and his fiftenn sons and twenty servants. They rushed to the Jordan, where the king was.
18.They crossed at the ford to take the king's household over and to do whatever he wished.
When Shimei son of Gera crossed the Jordan, he fell prostrate before the king
19.and said to him, "May my lord not hold me guilty. Do not remember how your servant did wrong on the day mu lord the king left Jerusalem. May the king put it out of his mind.
20.For I your servant know that I have sinned, but today I have come here as the first of the whole house of Joseph to come down and meet my lord the king."
21.Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said, "Shouldn't Shimei be put to death for this? He cursed the Lord's anointed."
22.David replied, "What do you and I have in common, you sons of Zeruiah? This day you have become my adversaries! Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? Do I not know that today I am king over Israel?"
23.So the king said to Shimei, "You shall not die." And the king promised him on oath.
24.Mephibosheth, Saul's grandson, also went down to meet the king. He had not taken care of his feet or trimmed his mustach or washed his clothes from the day the king left until the day he returned safely.
25.When he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked him, "Why didn't you go with me, Mephibesheth?"
26.He said, "My lord the king, since I your servant am lame, I said, 'I will have my donkey saddled and will ride on it, so I can go with the king." But Ziba my servant betrayed me.
27.And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. My lord the king is like an angel of God; so do whatever pleases you.
28.All my grandfather's descendants deserved nothing but death from my lord the king, but you gave your servant a place among those who eat at your table. So what right do I have to make any more appeals to the king?"
