The passage covers David's return to Jerusalem after his son Absalom's rebellion and death, opening with David's paralyzing grief over Absalom and Joab's blunt rebuke that the king's mourning shames and demoralizes the soldiers who just saved his life. David heeds the rebuke, takes his seat at the gate, and begins the political process of restoration, sending word through the priests to the elders of Judah. The chapter then narrates a series of encounters at the Jordan crossing: Shimei the Benjaminite who had cursed David prostrates himself and receives a sworn pardon; Mephibosheth, Saul's lame grandson, explains why he stayed behind, and David splits the land between him and his servant Ziba; and the elderly Barzillai, who had provisioned David in exile, declines the king's invitation to come live at court, citing his age, and sends his son Chimham in his place. The chapter closes on a political fault line: the men of Israel accuse Judah of stealing the honor of escorting the king back, and Judah's heated reply that the king is their kinsman leaves the two sides more bitterly at odds than before. The Strong's number format makes this an interlinear study resource rather than a reading text, intended for students tracing Hebrew vocabulary through the English translation.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: 2 Samuel: 2 Samuel 19","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":4789}
