Now Abner ^H74 had ^H1961 a [fn]consultation ^H1697 with the elders ^H2205 of Israel ^H3478, saying ^H559, “In times ^{H1571 H8032 H8543} past ^H8543 H8032 you were seeking ^H1245 for David ^H1732 to be king ^H4428 over ^H5921 you.

Then David ^H1732 said ^H559 to Joab ^H3097 and to all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 who ^H834 were with him, “Tear ^H7167 your clothes ^H899 and put ^H2296 on ^H2296 sackcloth ^H8242, and mourn ^H5594 before ^H6440 Abner ^H74.” And King ^H4428 David ^H1732 walked ^H1980 behind ^H310 the bier ^H4296.

“Should Abner ^H74 die ^H4191 as a fool ^H5036 dies ^H4194?

Now the king ^H4428 and his men ^H376 went ^H1980 to Jerusalem ^H3389 against ^H413 the Jebusites ^H2983, the inhabitants ^H3427 of the land ^H776; and they said ^H559 to [fn]David ^H1732, “You shall not come ^H935 in ^H935 here ^H2008, but even those who are blind ^H5787 and those who limp ^H6455 will turn ^H5493 you away ^H5493,” [fn]thinking ^H559, “David ^H1732 cannot ^H3808 enter ^H935 here ^H2008.”

Then Hiram ^H2438 king ^H4428 of Tyre ^H6865 sent ^H7971 messengers ^H4397 to David ^H1732 with cedar ^H730 trees ^H6086, carpenters ^H2796 H6086, and [fn]stonemasons ^H2796 H68; and they built ^H1129 a house ^H1004 for David ^H1732.

Now when the Philistines ^H6430 heard ^H8085 that they had anointed ^H4886 David ^H1732 king ^H4428 over ^H5921 Israel ^H3478, all ^H3605 the Philistines ^H6430 went ^H5927 up ^H5927 to seek ^H1245 out ^H1245 David ^H1732; and when David ^H1732 heard ^H8085 about it, he went ^H3381 down ^H3381 to the stronghold ^H4686.

Then it happened ^H1961, as the ark ^H727 of the LORD ^H3068 was coming ^H935 into the city ^H5892 of David ^H1732, that Michal ^H4324 the daughter ^H1323 of Saul ^H7586 looked ^H8259 down ^H8259 through ^H1157 the window ^H2474 and saw ^H7200 King ^H4428 David ^H1732 leaping ^H6339 and dancing ^H3769 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068; and she was ^H959 contemptuous ^H959 of him in her heart ^H3820.

But when David ^H1732 returned ^H7725 to bless ^H1288 his own household ^H1004, Michal ^H4324 the daughter ^H1323 of Saul ^H7586 came ^H3318 out ^H3318 to meet ^H7122 David ^H1732 and said ^H559, “How ^H4100 the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 dignified ^H3513 himself today ^H3117! For he exposed ^H1540 himself today ^H3117 in the sight ^H5869 of his servants’ ^H5650 female ^H519 slaves ^H519, as one ^H259 of the rabble ^H7386 shamelessly ^H1540 exposes ^H1540 himself!”

Then David ^H1732 the king ^H4428 came ^H935 in ^H935 and sat ^H3427 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068, and he said ^H559, “Who ^H4310 am I, Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068, and who ^H4310 are the members of my household ^H1004, that You have brought ^H935 me this ^H1988 far ^H1988?

Now when Toi ^H8583 king ^H4428 of Hamath ^H2574 heard ^H8085 that David ^H1732 had [fn]defeated ^H5221 the whole ^H3605 army ^H2428 of Hadadezer ^H1909,

Then the king ^H4428 summoned ^H7121 Saul’s ^H7586 servant ^H5288 Ziba ^H6717 and said ^H559 to him, “Everything ^H3605 that belonged ^H1961 to Saul ^H7586 and to all ^H3605 his house ^H1004 I have given ^H5414 to your master’s ^H113 [fn]grandson ^H1121.

Now when the sons ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983 saw ^H7200 that they had become ^H887 repulsive ^H887 to David ^H1732, the sons ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983 sent ^H7971 messengers and hired ^H7936 the Arameans ^H758 of Beth-rehob ^H1050 and the Arameans ^H758 of Zobah ^H6678, twenty ^H6242 thousand ^H505 foot ^H7273 soldiers ^H7273, and the king ^H4428 of Maacah ^H4601 with a thousand ^H505 men ^H376, and the men ^H382 of ^H382 Tob ^H382 with twelve ^H8147 H6240 thousand ^H505 men ^H376.

Now at evening ^H6153 time ^H6256 David ^H1732 got ^H6965 up ^H6965 from his bed ^H4904 and walked ^H1980 around ^H1980 on the roof ^H1406 of the king’s ^H4428 house ^H1004, and from the roof ^H1406 he saw ^H7200 a woman ^H802 bathing ^H7364; and the woman ^H802 was very ^H3966 beautiful ^H2896 in appearance ^H4758.
