절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Joab knew that David couldn't stop thinking about Absalom,	Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom.
2	—	And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:
3	and he sent someone to bring in the wise woman who lived in Tekoa. Joab told her, “Put on funeral clothes and don't use any makeup. Go to the king and pretend you have spent a long time mourning the death of a loved one.” Then he told her what to say.	And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.
4	The woman from Tekoa went to David. She bowed very low and said, “Your Majesty, please help me!”	And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.
5	David asked, “What's the matter?” She replied: My husband is dead, and I'm a widow.	And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.
6	I had two sons, but they got into a fight out in a field where there was no one to pull them apart, and one of them killed the other.	And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and slew him.
7	Now all of my relatives have come to me and said, “Hand over your son! We're going to put him to death for killing his brother.” But what they really want is to get rid of him, so they can take over our land. Please don't let them put out my only flame of hope! There won't be anyone left on this earth to carry on my husband's name.	And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth.
8	“Go on home,” David told her. “I'll take care of this matter for you.”	And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
9	The woman said, “I hope your decision doesn't cause any problems for you. But if it does, you can blame me.”	And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father’s house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.
10	He said, “If anyone gives you trouble, bring them to me, and it won't happen again!”	And the king said, Whosoever saith ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
11	“Please,” she replied, “swear by the Lord your God that no one will be allowed to kill my son!” He said, “I swear by the living Lord that no one will touch even a hair on his head!”	Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the Lord thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
12	Then she asked, “Your Majesty, may I say something?” “Yes,” he answered.	Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
13	The woman said: Haven't you been hurting God's people? Your own son had to leave the country. And when you judged in my favor, it was the same as admitting that you should have let him come back.	And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished.
14	We each must die and disappear like water poured out on the ground. But God doesn't take our lives. Instead, he figures out ways of bringing us back when we run away.	For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
15	Your Majesty, I came here to tell you about my problem, because I was afraid of what someone might do to me. I decided to come to you, because I thought you could help.	Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
16	In fact, I knew that you would listen and save my son and me from those who want to take the land that God gave us.	For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
17	I can rest easy now that you have given your decision. You know the difference between right and wrong just like an angel of God, and I pray that the Lord your God will be with you.	Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the Lord thy God will be with thee.
18	Then David said to the woman, “Now I'm going to ask you a question, and don't try to hide the truth!” The woman replied, “Please go ahead, Your Majesty.”	Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
19	David asked, “Did Joab put you up to this?” The woman answered, “Your Majesty, I swear by your life that no one can hide the truth from you. Yes, Joab did tell me what to say,	And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid:
20	but only to show you the other side of this problem. You must be as wise as the angel of God to know everything that goes on in this country.”	To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
21	David turned to Joab and said, “It seems that I have already given my decision. Go and bring Absalom back.”	And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.
22	Joab bowed very low and said, “Your Majesty, I thank you for giving your permission. It shows that you approve of me.”	And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.
23	Joab went to Geshur to get Absalom. But when they came back to Jerusalem,	So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
24	David told Joab, “I don't want to see my son Absalom. Tell him to stay away from me.” So Absalom went to his own house without seeing his father.	And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king’s face.
25	Absalom Was Handsome No one in all Israel was as handsome and well-built as Absalom.	But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
26	His hair grew so thick and heavy that when he got it cut once a year, it weighed over two kilograms.	And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year’s end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king’s weight.
27	Absalom had three sons. He also had a daughter named Tamar, who grew up to be very beautiful.	And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.
28	Absalom Finally Sees David Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two years without seeing his father.	So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king’s face.
29	He wanted Joab to talk to David for him. So one day he sent a message asking Joab to come over, but Joab refused. Absalom sent another message, but Joab still refused.	Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
30	Finally, Absalom told his servants, “Joab's barley field is right next to mine. Go set it on fire!” And they did.	Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab’s field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.
31	Joab went to Absalom's house and demanded, “Why did your servants set my field on fire?”	Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?
32	Absalom answered, “You didn't pay any attention when I sent for you. I want you to ask my father why he told me to come back from Geshur. I was better off there. I want to see my father now! If I'm guilty, let him kill me.”	And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king’s face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me.
33	Joab went to David and told him what Absalom had said. David sent for Absalom, and Absalom came. He bowed very low, and David leaned over and kissed him.	So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
