ダビデとツィバ
16 ダビデが山の頂上から少し下ったころ、メフィボシェテ家の執事ともいうべきツィバが、ようやく追いつきました。二頭のろばに、パン二百個、干しぶどう百房、ぶどう百房、それにぶどう酒一たるを積んでいます。
2 王は、「いったい何のためだ」と尋ねました。
「ろばはご家族がお乗りになるため、パンと夏のくだものは若いご家来衆に、ぶどう酒は荒野で弱った方々に召し上がっていただくためです。」
3 「メフィボシェテはどこにいる。」
「エルサレムに残っております。あの方は、『今こそ、王になれる。今日こそ、祖父サウルの王国を取り戻す』と申しておりました。」
4 「それがかなったら、メフィボシェテのものを全部、おまえに与えよう。」
「ありがとうございます、王様。心からお礼申し上げます。」
ダビデをのろうシムイ
5 ダビデの一行がバフリムの村を通り過ぎると、一人の男がのろいのことばを浴びせながら出て来ました。男はゲラの息子シムイで、サウル一族の者でした。 6 彼は王と側近、さらに護衛の勇士のだれかれかまわず、石を投げつけました。
7-8 「出て行けっ！ この人殺し！ 悪党め！」この時とばかり、ダビデをののしります。「よくもサウル王とその家族を殺してくれたな。ざまあ見ろ。罰があたったのだ。王位を盗んだおまえが、今は息子のアブシャロムに王位を奪われた。これが神のおぼしめしというものだ。今度は、おまえが同じ手口で殺されるのだ。」
9 あまりのひどさに、アビシャイが申し出ました。「あの死に犬に、あなたをのろわせておいてよいものでしょうか。あいつの首をはねさせてください。」
10 「ならぬ！ 主が彼にのろわせておられるのだ。どうして止められるだろう。 11 実の息子が私を殺そうとしているのだぞ。このベニヤミン人は、のろっているだけではないか。放っておきなさい。主がそうさせておられるのだから。 12 おそらく主は、私が不当な扱いを受けていることをご存じで、それに甘んじる私に、あののろいに代えて祝福を下さるだろう。」
13 一行がなおも進んで行くと、シムイも丘の中腹をダビデと並行して歩き、のろったり、石を投げたり、ちりをばらまいたりしました。 14 王も従者も全員、くたくたに疲れていました。それで一行はしばらく休息することにしました。
アヒトフェルとフシャイの進言
15 その間に、アブシャロムと彼の兵は、エルサレム入城を果たしました。アヒトフェルもいっしょでした。 16 ダビデの友、アルキ人フシャイはエルサレムに戻り、直ちにアブシャロムに謁見を求めて来ると、「王様、ばんざい！ 王様、ばんざい！」と叫びました。 17 アブシャロムは尋ねました。「これが、父ダビデに対する態度か。どうして父といっしょに行かなかったのだ。」
18 「私はただ、主とイスラエルの民によって選ばれたお方に仕えたいのです。 19 かつてはお父上でしたが、これからは、あなたにお仕えします。」
20 話が決まると、アブシャロムはアヒトフェルに、「さて、これからどうしたものか」と意見を求めました。 21 アヒトフェルは進言しました。「お父上が宮殿の留守番にと残しておかれた、そばめたちがいます。まず、その女たちを訪ねて、いっしょに寝られるのがよろしい。それくらい父君を侮辱すれば、全国民はもう、あなたと父君の仲は致命的で、和解の余地はないと察するでしょう。そうすれば、いっそう民はあなたのもとに一致団結します。」
22 そこで、宮殿の屋上に、だれの目にもそれとわかる天幕（テント）が張られました。アブシャロムはそこへ入って、父のそばめたちと寝たのです。 23 アブシャロムは、かつてダビデがそうしたように、アヒトフェルのことばには何でも従いました。アヒトフェルが語ることはすべて、神の口から直接授けられた知恵のように思われたからです。

David and Ziba
16 When David had gone a short distance beyond the summit, there was Ziba,(A) the steward of Mephibosheth, waiting to meet him. He had a string of donkeys saddled and loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred cakes of raisins, a hundred cakes of figs and a skin of wine.(B)
2 The king asked Ziba, “Why have you brought these?”
Ziba answered, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on, the bread and fruit are for the men to eat, and the wine is to refresh(C) those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”
3 The king then asked, “Where is your master’s grandson?”(D)
Ziba(E) said to him, “He is staying in Jerusalem, because he thinks, ‘Today the Israelites will restore to me my grandfather’s kingdom.’”
4 Then the king said to Ziba, “All that belonged to Mephibosheth(F) is now yours.”
“I humbly bow,” Ziba said. “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king.”
Shimei Curses David
5 As King David approached Bahurim,(G) a man from the same clan as Saul’s family came out from there. His name was Shimei(H) son of Gera, and he cursed(I) as he came out. 6 He pelted David and all the king’s officials with stones, though all the troops and the special guard were on David’s right and left. 7 As he cursed, Shimei said, “Get out, get out, you murderer, you scoundrel! 8 The Lord has repaid you for all the blood you shed in the household of Saul, in whose place you have reigned.(J) The Lord has given the kingdom into the hands of your son Absalom. You have come to ruin because you are a murderer!”(K)
9 Then Abishai(L) son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog(M) curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head.”(N)
10 But the king said, “What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah?(O) If he is cursing because the Lord said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who can ask, ‘Why do you do this?’”(P)
11 David then said to Abishai and all his officials, “My son,(Q) my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the Lord has told him to.(R) 12 It may be that the Lord will look upon my misery(S) and restore to me his covenant blessing(T) instead of his curse today.(U)”
13 So David and his men continued along the road while Shimei was going along the hillside opposite him, cursing as he went and throwing stones at him and showering him with dirt. 14 The king and all the people with him arrived at their destination exhausted.(V) And there he refreshed himself.
The Advice of Ahithophel and Hushai
15 Meanwhile, Absalom(W) and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel(X) was with him. 16 Then Hushai(Y) the Arkite, David’s confidant, went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
17 Absalom said to Hushai, “So this is the love you show your friend? If he’s your friend, why didn’t you go with him?”(Z)
18 Hushai said to Absalom, “No, the one chosen by the Lord, by these people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and I will remain with him. 19 Furthermore, whom should I serve? Should I not serve the son? Just as I served your father, so I will serve you.”(AA)
20 Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give us your advice. What should we do?”
21 Ahithophel answered, “Sleep with your father’s concubines whom he left to take care of the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself obnoxious to your father, and the hands of everyone with you will be more resolute.” 22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.(AB)
23 Now in those days the advice(AC) Ahithophel gave was like that of one who inquires of God. That was how both David(AD) and Absalom regarded all of Ahithophel’s advice.

David and Ziba
16 When David had passed a little beyond (A)the summit, (B)Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, bearing two hundred loaves of bread, (C)a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a skin of wine. 2 And the king said to Ziba, “Why have you brought these?” Ziba answered, (D)“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 (E)faint in the wilderness to drink.” 3 And the king said, “And where is your master's son?” (F)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.’” 4 Then 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
5 When King David came to (G)Bahurim, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was (H)Shimei, the son of Gera, and as he came (I)he cursed continually. 6 And 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. 7 And Shimei said as he (J)cursed, “Get out, get out, you man of blood, you worthless man! 8 The Lord (K)has avenged on you all (L)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.”
9 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this (M)dead dog (N)curse my lord the king? Let me go over and take off his head.” 10 But the king said, (O)“What have I to do with you, (P)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?’” 11 And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, (Q)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. 12 It may be that the Lord will look on the wrong done to me,[a] and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing today.” 13 So David and his men went on the road, while Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him and (R)cursed as he went and threw stones at him and flung dust. 14 And the king, and all the people who were with him, (S)arrived weary at the Jordan.[b] And there he refreshed himself.
Absalom Enters Jerusalem
15 (T)Now Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. 16 And when Hushai the Archite, (U)David's friend, came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, (V)“Long live the king! Long live the king!” 17 And Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? (W)Why did you not go with your friend?” 18 And 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. 19 And again, (X)whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? As I have served your father, so I will serve you.”
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel. What shall we do?” 21 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to (Y)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 (Z)the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.” 22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom (AA)on the roof. And Absalom went in to his father's concubines (AB)in the sight of all Israel. 23 Now 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, (AC)both by David and by Absalom.
