5大衛王來到巴戶琳時，掃羅家族基拉的兒子示每出來對著大衛破口大罵，6還朝大衛和他的臣僕扔石頭，無視大衛身邊的眾多部下和勇士。7示每罵大衛：「滾吧！滾吧！你這個殺人兇手，你這個敗類！8你殺掃羅的家人，奪其王位，耶和華報應了你，把江山交給了你兒子押沙龍。你這殺人兇手是自食惡果！」9洗魯雅的兒子亞比篩對王說：「這死狗竟敢辱罵我主我王，讓我過去砍掉他的頭！」10王卻說：「洗魯雅的兒子啊，不要管我的事。如果是耶和華叫他來咒罵我，誰能干涉他呢？」11大衛對亞比篩和他所有臣僕說：「我的親生兒子尚且要取我的命，何況這個便雅憫人呢？由他去吧！因為這是耶和華的意思。12也許耶和華會體察我的困苦，因我今天所受的咒罵而賜福給我。」13於是，大衛和隨從繼續趕路，示每也沿著對面的山坡邊走邊罵，向他們扔石頭，撒灰塵。14王和眾人來到約旦河邊時，疲憊不堪，便在那裡歇息。15押沙龍和以色列眾人進了耶路撒冷，亞希多弗也和他在一起。16大衛的朋友亞基人戶篩去見押沙龍，對他說：「願王萬歲！願王萬歲！」17押沙龍問戶篩說：「這就是你對朋友的忠誠嗎？你為什麼不跟你的朋友去呢？」18戶篩說：「我不去，誰是耶和華和全體以色列人民所揀選的，我就歸屬誰，留在誰那裡。19再說，我應當服侍誰呢？難道不該服侍王的兒子嗎？我要像服侍你父親一樣服侍你。」20押沙龍問亞希多弗下一步應該怎麼辦。21亞希多弗說：「你父親留下幾個妃嬪看守宮殿，你要跟她們同寢，叫所有的以色列人知道你與父親誓不兩立，這樣支持你的人會更堅定。」22於是，他們便為押沙龍在殿頂蓋了一座帳篷，他就當著所有以色列人的面與父親的妃嬪同寢。23那時，亞希多弗出的主意如同是來自上帝的話，大衛曾對他言聽計從，現在押沙龍也是一樣。

David and Ziba
1When David had passed a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, bearing two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a skin of wine.2And the king said to Ziba, “Why have you brought these?” Ziba answered, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who faint in the wilderness to drink.”3And the king said, “And where is your master’s son?” Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he remains in Jerusalem, for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will give me back the kingdom of my father.’”4Then the king said to Ziba, “Behold, all that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.” And Ziba said, “I pay homage; let me ever find favor in your sight, my lord the king.”
Shimei Curses David
5When King David came to Bahurim, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera, and as he came he cursed continually.6And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.7And Shimei said as he cursed, “Get out, get out, you man of blood, you worthless man!8The Lord has avenged on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, your evil is on you, for you are a man of blood.”9Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and take off his head.”10But the king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord has said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’”11And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my own son seeks my life; how much more now may this Benjaminite! Leave him alone, and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to.12It may be that the Lord will look on the wrong done to me,* and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing today.”13So David and his men went on the road, while Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went and threw stones at him and flung dust.14And the king, and all the people who were with him, arrived weary at the Jordan.* And there he refreshed himself.
Absalom Enters Jerusalem
15Now Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.16And when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”17And Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”18And Hushai said to Absalom, “No, for whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.19And again, whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? As I have served your father, so I will serve you.”20Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel. What shall we do?”21Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the house, and all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.”22So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof. And Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.23Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one consulted the word of God; so was all the counsel of Ahithophel esteemed, both by David and by Absalom.
