사무엘하 16

1다윗이 마루턱을 조금 지나니 므비보셋의 사환 시바가 안장 지운 두 나귀에 떡 이백과 건포도 일백 송이와 여름 실과 일백과 포도주 한 가죽부대를 싣고 다윗을 맞는지라 2왕이 시바에게 이르되 네가 무슨 뜻으로 이것을 가져왔느뇨 시바가 가로되 나귀는 왕의 권속들로 타게 하고 떡과 실과는 소년들로 먹게하고 포도주는 들에서 곤비한 자들로 마시게 하려 함이니이다 3왕이 가로되 네 주인의 아들이 어디 있느뇨 시바가 왕께 고하되 예루살렘에 있는데 저가 말하기를 이스라엘 족속이 오늘 내 아비의 나라를 내게 돌리리라 하나이다 4왕이 시바더러 이르되 므비보셋에게 있는 것이 다 네 것이니라 시바가 가로되 내가 절하나이다 내 주 왕이여 나로 왕의 앞에서 은혜를 입게 하옵소서 하니라 5다윗 왕이 바후림에 이르매 거기서 사울의 집 족속 하나가 나오니 게라의 아들이요 이름은 시므이라 저가 나오면서 연하여 저주하고 6또 다윗과 다윗 왕의 모든 신복을 향하여 돌을 던지니 그 때에 모든 백성과 용사들은 다 왕의 좌우에 있었더라 7시므이가 저주하는 가운데 이와 같이 말하니라 피를 흘린 자여 비루한 자여 가거라 가거라 8사울의 족속의 모든 피를 여호와께서 네게로 돌리셨도다 그 대신에 네가 왕이 되었으나 여호와께서 나라를 네 아들 압살롬의 손에 붙이셨도다 보라 너는 피를 흘린 자인고로 화를 자취하였느니라 9스루야의 아들 아비새가 왕께 여짜오되 이 죽은 개가 어찌 내 주 왕을 저주하리이까 청컨대 나로 건너가서 저의 머리를 베게 하소서 10왕이 가로되 스루야의 아들들아 내가 너희와 무슨 상관이 있느냐 저가 저주하는 것은 여호와께서 저에게 다윗을 저주하라 하심이니 네가 어찌 그리하였느냐 할 자가 누구겠느냐 하고 11또 아비새와 모든 신복에게 이르되 내 몸에서 난 아들도 내 생명을 해하려 하거든 하물며 이 베냐민 사람이랴 여호와께서 저에게 명하신 것이니 저로 저주하게 버려두라 12혹시 여호와께서 나의 원통함을 감찰하시리니 오늘날 그 저주 까닭에 선으로 내게 갚아 주시리라 하고 13다윗과 그 종자들이 길을 갈 때에 시므이는 산비탈로 따라가면서 저주하고 저를 향하여 돌을 던지며 티끌을 날리더라 14왕과 그 함께 있는 백성들이 다 곤비하여 한 곳에 이르러 거기서 쉬니라 15압살롬과 모든 이스라엘 백성들이 예루살렘에 이르고 아히도벨도 저와 함께 이른지라 16다윗의 친구 아렉 사람 후새가 압살롬에게 나아올 때에 저에게 말하기를 왕이여 만세, 왕이여 만세 하니 17압살롬이 후새에게 이르되 이것이 네가 친구를 후대하는 것이냐 네가 어찌하여 네 친구와 함께 가지 아니하였느냐 18후새가 압살롬에게 이르되 그렇지 아니하니이다 내가 여호와와 이 백성 모든 이스라엘의 택한 자에게 속하여 그와 함께 거할 것이니이다 19또 내가 이제 누구를 섬기리이까 그 아들이 아니니이까 내가 전에 왕의 아버지를 섬긴 것 같이 왕을 섬기리이다 하니라 20압살롬이 아히도벨에게 이르되 너는 어떻게 행할 모략을 우리에게 가르치라 21아히도벨이 압살롬에게 이르되 왕의 아버지가 머물러 두어 궁을 지키게 한 후궁들로 더불어 동침하소서 그리하면 왕께서 왕의 부친의 미워하는바 됨을 온 이스라엘이 들으리니 왕과 함께 있는 모든 사람의 힘이 더욱 강하여지리이다 22이에 사람들이 압살롬을 위하여 지붕에 장막을 치니 압살롬이 온 이스라엘 무리의 눈 앞에서 그 부친의 후궁들로 더불어 동침하니라 23그 때에 아히도벨의 베푸는 모략은 하나님께 물어 받은 말씀과 일반이라 저의 모든 모략은 다윗에게나 압살롬에게나 이와 같더라

1When David was a little past the top, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, and one hundred clusters of raisins, and one hundred summer fruits, and a bottle of wine. 2The king said to Ziba, What do you mean by these? Ziba said, The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink. 3The king said, “Where is your master’s son?” Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem; for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore me the kingdom of my father.’” 4Then the king said to Ziba, “Behold, all that pertains to Mephibosheth is yours.” Ziba said, “I do obeisance. Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, O king.” 5When king David came to Bahurim, behold, a man of the family of the house of Saul came out, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera. He came out, and cursed still as he came. 6He cast 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. 7Shimei said when he cursed, “Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, and base fellow! 8Yahweh has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned! Yahweh has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son! Behold, you are caught by your own mischief, because 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? Please let me go over and take off his head.” 10The king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because Yahweh has said to him, ‘Curse David;’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’” 11David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who came out of my bowels, seeks my life. How much more this Benjamite, now? Leave him alone, and let him curse; for Yahweh has invited him. 12It may be that Yahweh will look on the wrong done to me, and that Yahweh will repay me good for the cursing of me today.” 13So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, and cursed as he went, threw stones at him, and threw dust. 14The king, and all the people who were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there. 15Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. 16When Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!” 17Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why didn’t you go with your friend?” 18Hushai said to Absalom, “No; but whomever Yahweh, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him I will stay. 19Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn’t I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so will I be in your presence.” 20Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel what we shall do.” 21Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines, that he has left to keep the house. Then all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.” 22So they spread Absalom a tent on the top of the house; and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel. 23The counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.

1Als nu David een weinig van de hoogte was voortgegaan, ziet, toen ontmoette hem Ziba, Mefiboseths jongen, met een paar gezadelde ezelen, en daarop tweehonderd broden, met honderd stukken rozijnen, en honderd stukken zomervruchten, en een lederen zak wijns. 2En de koning zeide tot Ziba: Wat zult gij daarmede? En Ziba zeide: De ezels zijn voor het huis des konings, om op te rijden en het brood en de zomervruchten, om te eten voor de jongens; en de wijn, opdat de moeden in de woestijn drinken. 3Toen zeide de koning: Waar is dan de zoon uws heren? En Ziba zeide tot den koning: Zie, hij blijft te Jeruzalem, want hij zeide: Heden zal mij het huis Israels mijns vaders koninkrijk wedergeven. 4Zo zeide de koning tot Ziba: Zie, het zal het uwe zijn alles wat Mefiboseth heeft. En Ziba zeide: Ik buig mij neder, laat mij genade vinden in uw ogen, mijn heer koning! 5Als nu de koning David tot aan Bahurim kwam, ziet, toen kwam van daar een man uit, van het geslacht van het huis van Saul, wiens naam was Simei, de zoon van Gera; hij ging steeds voort, en vloekte. 6En hij wierp David met stenen, mitsgaders alle knechten van den koning David, hoewel al het volk en al de helden aan zijn rechter- en aan zijn linkerhand waren. 7Aldus nu zeide Simei in zijn vloeken: Ga uit, ga uit, gij, man des bloeds, en gij, Belials man! 8De HEERE heeft op u doen wederkomen al het bloed van Sauls huis, in wiens plaats gij geregeerd hebt; nu heeft de HEERE het koninkrijk gegeven in de hand van Absalom, uw zoon; zie nu, gij zijt in uw ongeluk, omdat gij een man des bloeds zijt. 9Toen zeide Abisai, de zoon van Zeruja, tot den koning: Waarom zou deze dode hond mijn heer den koning vloeken? Laat mij toch overgaan en zijn kop wegnemen. 10Maar de koning zeide: Wat heb ik met u te doen, gij zonen van Zeruja? Ja, laat hem vloeken; want de HEERE toch heeft tot hem gezegd: Vloek David; wie zou dan zeggen: Waarom hebt gij alzo gedaan? 11Voorts zeide David tot Abisai en tot al zijn knechten: Ziet, mijn zoon, die van mijn lijf is voortgekomen, zoekt mijn ziel; hoeveel te meer dan nu deze zoon van Jemini? Laat hem geworden, dat hij vloeke, want de HEERE heeft het hem gezegd. 12Misschien zal de HEERE mijn ellende aanzien; en de HEERE zal mij goed vergelden voor zijn vloek, te dezen dage. 13Alzo ging David met zijn lieden op den weg; en Simei ging al voort langs de zijde des bergs tegen hem over, en vloekte, en wierp met stenen van tegenover hem, en stoof met stof. 14En de koning kwam in, en al het volk, dat met hem was, moede zijnde; en hij verkwikte zich aldaar. 15Absalom nu en al het volk, de mannen van Israel, kwamen te Jeruzalem, en Achitofel met hem. 16En het geschiedde, als Husai, de Archiet, Davids vriend, tot Absalom kwam, dat Husai tot Absalom zeide: De koning leve, de koning leve! 17Maar Absalom zeide tot Husai: Is dit uw weldadigheid aan uw vriend? Waarom zijt gij niet met uw vriend getogen? 18En Husai zeide tot Absalom: Neen, maar welken de HEERE verkiest, en al dit volk, en alle mannen van Israel, diens zal ik zijn, en bij hem zal ik blijven. 19En ten andere, wien zou ik dienen? Zou het niet zijn voor het aangezicht zijns zoons? Gelijk als ik voor het aangezicht uws vaders gediend heb, alzo zal ik voor uw aangezicht zijn. 20Toen zeide Absalom tot Achitofel: Geeft onder ulieden raad, wat zullen wij doen? 21En Achitofel zeide tot Absalom: Ga in tot de bijwijven uws vaders, die hij gelaten heeft om het huis te bewaren; zo zal gans Israel horen, dat gij bij uw vader stinkende zijt geworden, en de handen van allen, die met u zijn, zullen gesterkt worden. 22Zo spanden zij Absalom een tent op het dak; en Absalom ging in tot de bijwijven zijns vaders, voor de ogen van het ganse Israel. 23En in die dagen was Achitofels raad, dien hij raadde, als of men naar Gods woord gevraagd had; alzo was alle raad van Achitofel, zo bij David als bij Absalom.
