Page 1 / 3 (2Sa 1:1–2Sa 13:20)
After the death of Saul, David returned from defeating the Amalekites and stayed at Ziklag two days.
“So I stood over him and killed him because I knew that after he had fallen he couldn’t survive. I took the crown that was on his head and the armband that was on his arm, and I’ve brought them here to my lord.”
Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them, and all the men with him did the same.
Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul,
who clothed you in scarlet, with luxurious things,
who decked your garments with gold ornaments.
Some time later, David inquired of the LORD: “Should I go to one of the towns of Judah? ”
The LORD answered him, “Go.”
Then David asked, “Where should I go? ”
“To Hebron,” the LORD replied.
In addition, David brought the men who were with him, each one with his family, and they settled in the towns near Hebron.
“Now, may the LORD show kindness and faithfulness to you, and I will also show the same goodness to you because you have done this deed.
Afterward, they carried Asahel to his father’s tomb in Bethlehem and buried him. Then Joab and his men marched all night and reached Hebron at dawn.
Abner was very angry about Ish-bosheth’s accusation. “Am I a dog’s head[fn] who belongs to Judah? ” he asked. “All this time I’ve been loyal to the family of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends and haven’t betrayed you to David, but now you accuse me of wrongdoing with this woman!
Abner sent messengers as his representatives to say to David, “Whose land is it? Make your covenant with me, and you can be certain I am on your side to turn all Israel over to you.”
Her husband followed her, weeping all the way to Bahurim. Abner said to him, “Go back.” So he went back.
When Abner and twenty men came to David at Hebron, David held a banquet for him and his men.
Abner said to David, “Let me now go and I will gather all Israel to my lord the king. They will make a covenant with you, and you will reign over all you desire.” So David dismissed Abner, and he went in peace.
Just then David’s soldiers and Joab returned from a raid and brought a large amount of plundered goods with them. Abner was not with David in Hebron because David had dismissed him, and he had gone in peace.
David heard about it later and said, “I and my kingdom are forever innocent before the LORD concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner.
David then ordered Joab and all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourn over Abner.” And King David walked behind the coffin.[fn]
After he arrived from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
He and all his troops set out to bring the ark of God from Baale-judah.[fn] The ark bears the Name, the name of the LORD of Armies who is enthroned between the cherubim.
When those carrying the ark of the LORD advanced six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
He and the whole house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the LORD with shouts and the sound of the ram’s horn.
So Nathan told the king, “Go and do all that is on your mind, for the LORD is with you.”
“I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have destroyed all your enemies before you. I will make a great name for you like that of the greatest on the earth.
“When your time comes and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up after you your descendant, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
King David also dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued —
David asked, “Is there anyone remaining from the family of Saul I can show kindness to for Jonathan’s sake? ”
So the king asked, “Is there anyone left of Saul’s family that I can show the kindness of God to? ”
Ziba said to the king, “There is still Jonathan’s son who was injured in both feet.”
“Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “since I intend to show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all your grandfather Saul’s fields, and you will always eat meals at my table.”
Some time later, the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun became king in his place.
Then David said, “I’ll show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.”
So David sent his emissaries to console Hanun concerning his father. However, when they arrived in the land of the Ammonites,
Joab and his troops advanced to fight against the Arameans, and they fled before him.
When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, and went to Helam. Then the Arameans lined up to engage David in battle and fought against him.
When all the kings who were Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their subjects. After this, the Arameans were afraid to ever help the Ammonites again.
In the spring when kings march out to war, David sent Joab with his officers and all Israel. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah, but David remained in Jerusalem.
David sent messengers to get her, and when she came to him, he slept with her. Now she had just been purifying herself from her uncleanness. Afterward, she returned home.
But Uriah slept at the door of the palace with all his master’s servants; he did not go down to his house.
Uriah answered David, “The ark, Israel, and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my master Joab and his soldiers[fn] are camping in the open field. How can I enter my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? As surely as you live and by your life, I will not do this! ”
Then David invited Uriah to eat and drink with him, and David got him drunk. He went out in the evening to lie down on his cot with his master’s servants, but he did not go home.
Then the men of the city came out and attacked Joab, and some of the men from David’s soldiers fell in battle; Uriah the Hethite also died.
but the poor man had nothing except one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised her, and she grew up with him and with his children. From his meager food she would eat, from his cup she would drink, and in his arms she would sleep. She was like a daughter to him.
Some time passed. David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar, and David’s son Amnon was infatuated with her.
When she brought them to him to eat, he grabbed her and said,[fn] “Come sleep with me, my sister! ”
But he refused to listen to her, and because he was stronger than she was, he disgraced her by raping her.
“No,” she cried,[fn] “sending me away is much worse than the great wrong you’ve already done to me! ”
But he refused to listen to her.
