other, that we may kill him, for the chayim of his
brother whom he killed; and we will destroy the heir also:
and so they shall quench my spark of chayim which is
left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor
remnant upon the earth.
8 And the melech said to the woman, Go to your bayit,
and I will give orders concerning you.
9 And the woman of Tekoah said to the melech, My
master, O melech, the Torah violations be on me, and on
my abba's bayit: and the melech and his kesay be
guiltless.
10 And the melech said, Whoever says anything to you,
bring him to me, and he shall not touch you any more.
11 Then said she, I beg you, let the melech remember
vuvh your Elohim, that you would not allow the revengers
of dahm to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son.
And he said, As vuvh lives, there shall not one hair of
your son fall to the earth.
12 Then the woman said, Let your female eved, I ask you,
speak one more word to my master the melech. And he
said, Go ahead.
13 And the woman said, Why then have you thought such
a thing against the people of Elohim? For the melech does
speak this thing as one who is at fault, in that the melech
does not bring home again his banished.
14 For we will surely die, and are as mayim spilled on the
ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither does
Elohim respect any person: yet he devises means, that his
banished be not cast out from Him.
15 Now therefore that I have come to speak of this thing
to my master the melech, it is because the people have
made me afraid: and your female eved said, I will now
speak to the melech; it may be that the melech will
perform the request of his female eved.
16 For the melech will listen, to deliver his female eved
out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my
son together out of the inheritance of Elohim.
17 Then your female eved said, The word of my master
the melech shall now be comfortable: for as a heavenly
malach of Elohim, so is my master the melech to discern
tov and bad: therefore vuvh your Elohim will be with you.
18 Then the melech answered and said to the woman,
Hide it not from me, I ask you, the thing that I shall ask
you. And the woman said, Let my master the melech now
speak.
19 And the melech said, Is not the hand of Yoav with you
in all this? And the woman answered and said, As your
chayim lives, my master the melech, none can turn to the
right hand, or to the left from anything that my master the
melech has spoken: for your eved Yoav, he ordered me,
and he put all these words in the mouth of your female
eved:
20 To change the appearance of the matter has your eved
Yoav done this thing: and my master is wise, according to
the chochmah of a heavenly malach of Elohim, to know
all things that are in the earth.
21 And the melech said to Yoav, See now, I have done
this thing: go therefore and bring the young man
Avshalom again.
22 And Yoav fell to the ground on his face, and bowed
himself, and thanked the melech: and Yoav said, Today
your eved knows that I have found favor in your sight, my
master, O melech, in that the melech has fulfilled the

request of his eved.
23 So Yoav arose and went to Geshur, and brought
Avshalom back to Yahrushalayim.
24 And the melech said, Let him turn to his own bayit,
and let him not see my face. So Avshalom returned to his
own bayit, and saw not the melech's face.
25 But in kol Yisrael there was none to be so much
esteemed as Avshalom for his beauty: from the sole of his
foot even to the keter of his head there was no blemish in
him.
26 And when he cut his hair, for it was at every year's end
that he cut it: because the hair was long on him, therefore
he cut it: he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred
shekels after the melech's weight.
27 And to Avshalom there were born three sons, and one
daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a
beautiful countenance.
28 So Avshalom dwelt two full years in Yahrushalayim,
and saw not the melech's face.
29 Therefore Avshalom sent for Yoav, to have sent him
to the melech; but he would not come to him: and when
he sent again the second time, he would not come.
30 Therefore he said to his avadim, See, Yoav's field is
near me, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire.
And Avshalom's avadim set the field on fire.
31 Then Yoav arose, and came to Avshalom to his bayit,
and said to him, Why have your avadim set my field on
fire?
32 And Avshalom answered Yoav, See, I sent to you,
saying, Come here, that I may send you to the melech, to
say, Why am I come from Geshur? It would have been
tov for me to be there still: now therefore let me see the
melech's face; and if there be any Torah violations in me,
let him kill me.
33 So Yoav came to the melech, and told him: and when
he had called for Avshalom, he came to the melech, and
bowed himself on his face to the ground before the
melech: and the melech kissed Avshalom.
And it came to pass after this, that Avshalom
prepared mirkavot and horses, and fifty men to run before
him.
2 And Avshalom rose up early, and stood beside the way
of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a
controversy and came to the melech for mishpat, then
Avshalom called to him, and said, Of what city are you?
And he said, Your eved is of one of the tribes of Yisrael.
3 And Avshalom said to him, See, your matters are tov
and right; but there is no man authorized of the melech to
hear you.
4 Avshalom said moreover, If I were made shophet in the
land, every man who had any suit, or cause might come to
me, and I would bring him mishpat!
5 And it was so, that when any man came near to him to
do him honor, he put forth his hand, and took him, and
kissed him.
6 And in this manner did Avshalom to kol Yisrael that
came to the melech for mishpat: so Avshalom stole the
levim of the men of Yisrael.
7 And it came to pass after four years, 830 15
that Avshalom
said to the melech, I ask you, let me go and pay my vow,
which I have vowed to vuvh, in Hevron.
8 For your eved vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in
