1 2 S 9.9,10.Davidhad started down the other side of the Mount of Olives, when he was met by Ziba, the chief servant of Mephibosheth.16.1 chief servant of Mephibosheth: See 9.1-13.Zibahad two donkeys that were carrying 200 loaves of bread, 100 handfuls of raisins, 100 figs,16.1 figs: Or "pomegranates," a bright red fruit that looks like an apple.and some wine.
2 "What’s all this?" David asked.
Zibasaid, "The donkeys are for your family to ride. The bread and fruit are for the people to eat, and the wine is for them to drink in the desert when they are tired out."
3 2 S 19.25-27."And where is Mephibosheth?" David asked.
Zibaanswered, "He stayed in Jerusalem, because he thinks the people of Israel want him to rule the kingdom of his grandfather Saul."
4 David then told him, "Everything that used to belong to Mephiboshethis now yours."
Zibasaid, "Your Majesty, I am your humble servant, and I hope you will be pleased with me."
Shimei Curses David
5 Davidwas near the town of Bahurimwhen a man came out and started cursing him. The man was Shimeithe son of Gera, and he was one of Saul’s distant relatives. 6 He threw stones at David, at his soldiers, and at everyone else, including the bodyguards who walked on each side of David.
7 Shimeiwas yelling at David, "Get out of here, you murderer! You good-for-nothing, 8 the Lordis paying you back for killing so many in Saul’s family. You stole his kingdom, but now the Lordhas given it to your son Absalom. You’re a murderer, and that’s why you’re in such big trouble!"
9 Abishaisaid, "Your Majesty, this man is as useless as a dead dog! He shouldn’t be allowed to curse you. Let me go over and chop off his head."
10 Davidreplied, "What will I ever do with you and your brother Joab? If Shimei is cursing me because the Lordhas told him to, then who are you to tell him to stop?"
11 Then Davidsaid to Abishaiand all his soldiers:
My own son is trying to kill me! Why shouldn’t this man from the tribe of Benjamin want me dead even more? Let him curse all he wants. Maybe the Lorddid tell him to curse me. 12 But if the Lordhears these curses and sees the trouble I’m in, maybe he will have pity on me instead.
13 Davidand the others went on down the road. Shimeiwent along the hillside by the road, cursing and throwing rocks and dirt at them. 14 When David and those with him came to the Jordan River, they were tired out. But after they rested, they16.14 they: Hebrew "he."felt much better.
Hushai Meets Absalom
15 By this time, Absalom, Ahithophel, and the others had reached Jerusalem. 16 David’s friend Hushaicame to Absalomand said, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"
17 But Absalomasked Hushai, "Is this how you show loyalty to your friend David? Why didn’t you go with him?"
18 Hushaianswered, "The Lordand the people of Israel have chosen you to be king. I can’t leave. I have to stay and serve the one they’ve chosen. 19 Besides, it seems right for me to serve you, just as I served your father."
Ahithophel’s Advice
20 Absalomturned to Ahithopheland said, "Give us your advice! What should we do?"
21 Ahithophelanswered, "Some of your father’s wives16.21 wives: See the note at 3.7.were left here to take care of the palace. You should have sex with them. Then everyone will find out that you have publicly disgraced your father. This will make you and your followers even more powerful."
22 2 S 12.11,12.Absalomhad a tent set up on the flat roof of the palace, and everyone watched as he went into the tent with his father’s wives.
23 Ahithophelgave such good advice in those days that both Absalomand Davidthought it came straight from God.
