• 1 Samuel 25:25

  Please don’t let my lord pay attention to this worthless fellow, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, didn’t see my lord’s young men, whom you sent.

• 1 Samuel 25:26

  Now therefore, my lord, as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, since Yahweh has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

• 1 Samuel 25:27

  Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

• 1 Samuel 25:28

  Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For Yahweh will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights Yahweh’s battles. Evil will not be found in you all your days.

• 1 Samuel 25:29

  Though men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling.

• 1 Samuel 25:30

  It will come to pass, when Yahweh has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince over Israel,

• 1 Samuel 25:31

  that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When Yahweh has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”

• 1 Samuel 25:32

  David said to Abigail, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!

• 1 Samuel 25:33

• 1 Samuel 25:34

• 1 Samuel 25:35

• 2 Samuel 14:1

  Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom.

• 2 Samuel 14:3

  Go in to the king, and speak like this to him.” So Joab put the words in her mouth.

• 2 Samuel 14:4

• 2 Samuel 14:5

• 2 Samuel 14:6

  Your servant had two sons, and they both fought together in the field, and there was no one to part them, but the one struck the other, and killed him.

• 2 Samuel 14:7

  Behold, the whole family has risen against your servant, and they say, ‘Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and so destroy the heir also.’ Thus they would quench my coal which is left, and would leave to my husband neither name nor remainder on the surface of the earth.”

• 2 Samuel 14:8

  The king said to the woman, “Go to your house, and I will give a command concerning you.”

• 2 Samuel 14:9

  The woman of Tekoa said to the king, “My lord, O king, may the iniquity be on me, and on my father’s house; and may the king and his throne be guiltless.”

• 2 Samuel 14:10

  The king said, “Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he will not bother you any more.”

• 2 Samuel 14:11

  Then she said, “Please let the king remember Yahweh your God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son.” He said, “As Yahweh lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the earth.”

• 2 Samuel 14:12

  Then the woman said, “Please let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.” He said, “Say on.”

• 2 Samuel 14:13

  The woman said, “Why then have you devised such a thing against the people of God? For in speaking this word the king is as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring home again his banished one.

• 2 Samuel 14:14

  For we must die, and are like water spilled on the ground, which can’t be gathered up again; neither does God take away life, but devises means, that he who is banished not be an outcast from him.

• 2 Samuel 14:15

  Now therefore seeing that I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid. Your servant said, ‘I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.’

• 2 Samuel 14:16

  For the king will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.

• 2 Samuel 14:17

  Then your servant said, ‘Please let the word of my lord the king bring rest; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad. May Yahweh, your God, be with you.’”

• 2 Samuel 14:18

  Then the king answered the woman, “Please don’t hide anything from me that I ask you.” The woman said, “Let my lord the king now speak.”

• 2 Samuel 14:19

  The king said, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” The woman answered, “As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab urged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your servant;

• 2 Samuel 14:20

  to change the face of the matter has your servant Joab done this thing. My lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.”

• 2 Samuel 14:21

  The king said to Joab, “Behold now, I have done this thing. Go therefore, and bring the young man Absalom back.”

• 2 Samuel 14:22

  Joab fell to the ground on his face, showed respect, and blessed the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.”

• 2 Samuel 14:23

  So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

• 2 Samuel 14:24

  The king said, “Let him return to his own house, but let him not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, and didn’t see the king’s face.

• 2 Samuel 24:17

  David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father’s house.”

• 1 Kings 1:15

  Bathsheba went in to the king in his room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.

• 1 Kings 1:16

• 1 Kings 1:17

• 1 Kings 1:18

  Now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, don’t know it.

• 1 Kings 1:19

  He has slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn’t called Solomon your servant.

• 1 Kings 1:20

  You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

• 1 Kings 1:21

  Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals.”

• 1 Kings 1:22

  Behold, while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

• 1 Kings 1:23

  They told the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet!” When he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

• 1 Kings 1:24

  Nathan said, “My lord, king, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?’

• 1 Kings 1:25

  For he has gone down today, and has slain cattle, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘Long live king Adonijah!’

• 1 Kings 1:26

  But he hasn’t called me, even me your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon.

• 1 Kings 1:27

  Was this thing done by my lord the king, and you haven’t shown to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”

• 1 Kings 1:28

  Then king David answered, “Call Bathsheba in to me.” She came into the king’s presence and stood before the king.

• 1 Kings 1:29

  The king swore, and said, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

• 1 Kings 1:30

  most certainly as I swore to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ I will most certainly do this today.”

• 1 Kings 1:31

  Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and showed respect to the king, and said, “Let my lord king David live forever!”

• 1 Kings 2:13

  Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come peaceably?” He said, “Peaceably.

• 1 Kings 2:14

  He said moreover, I have something to tell you.” She said, “Say on.”

• 1 Kings 2:15

  He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However the kingdom is turned around, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from Yahweh.

• 1 Kings 2:16

  Now I ask one petition of you. Don’t deny me.” She said to him, “Say on.”

• 1 Kings 2:17

  He said, “Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you ‘no’), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.”

• 1 Kings 2:18

  Bathsheba said, “Alright. I will speak for you to the king.”
