1And it came to pass after this, that Amnon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar.Factum est autem post haec ut Absalom filii David sororem speciosissimam, vocabulo Thamar, adamaret Amnon filius David,Καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ τῷ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ υἱῷ Δαυὶδ ἀδελφὴ καλὴ τῷ εἴδει σφόδρα, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῇ Θημὰρ, καὶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτὴν Ἀμνὼν υἱὸς Δαυίδ.
2And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her.et deperiret eam valde, ita ut propter amorem eius aegrotaret: quia cum esset virgo, difficile ei videbatur ut quippiam inhoneste ageret cum ea.Καὶ ἐθλίβετο Ἀμνὼν ὥστε ἀῤῥωστεῖν διὰ Θημὰρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι παρθένος ἦν αὕτη, καὶ ὑπέρογκον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Ἀμνὼν τοῦ ποιῆσαί τι αὐτῇ.
3Now Amnon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man:Erat autem Amnon amicus nomine Ionadab, filius Semmaa fratris David, vir prudens valde.Καὶ ἦν τῷ Ἀμνὼν ἑταῖρος, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἰωναδὰβ, υἱὸς Σαμαὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ Δαυίδ· καὶ Ἰωναδὰβ ἀνὴρ σοφὸς σφόδρα,
4And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Amnon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom.Qui dixit ad eum: Quare sic attenuaris macie, fili regis, per singulos dies? cur non indicas mihi? Dixitque ei Amnon: Thamar sororem fratris mei Absalom amo.καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, τί σοι ὅτι σὺ οὕτως ἀσθενὴς, υἱὲ τοῦ βασιλέως, τὸ πρωῒ πρωΐ; οὐκ ἀπαγγέλλεις μοι; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἀμνὼν, Θημὰρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου ἐγὼ ἀγαπῶ.
5And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand.Cui respondit Ionadab: Cuba super lectum tuum, et languorem simula: cumque venerit pater tuus ut visitet te, dic ei: Veniat, oro, Thamar soror mea, ut det mihi cibum, et faciat pulmentum, ut comedam de manu eius.Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰωναδὰβ, κοιμήθητι ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης σου καὶ μαλακίσθητι, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται ὁ πατήρ σου τοῦ ἰδεῖν σε, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτὸν, ἐλθέτω δὴ Θημὰρ ἡ ἀδελφή μου, καὶ ψωμισάτω με, καὶ ποιησάτω κατʼ ὀφθαλμούς μου βρῶμα, ὅπως ἴδω καὶ φάγω ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῆς.
6So Amnon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand.Accubuit itaque Amnon, et quasi aegrotare coepit: cumque venisset rex ad visitandum eum, ait Amnon ad regem: Veniat, obsecro, Thamar soror mea, ut faciat in oculis meis duas sorbitiunculas, et cibum capiam de manu eius.Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἀμνὼν καὶ ἠῤῥώστησε· καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἰδεῖν αὐτόν· καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμνὼν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, ἐλθέτω δὴ Θημὰρ ἡ ἀδελφή μου πρὸς μὲ, καὶ κολλυρισάτω ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου δύο κολλυρίδας, καὶ φάγομαι ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς.
7Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.Misit ergo David ad Thamar domum, dicens: Veni in domum Amnon fratris tui, et fac ei pulmentum.Καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Θημὰρ εἰς τὸν οἶκον, λέγων, πορεύθητι δὴ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου, καὶ ποίησον αὐτῷ βρῶμα.
8And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.Venitque Thamar in domum Amnon fratris sui: ille autem iacebat. Quae tollens farinam commiscuit, et liquefaciens, in oculis eius coxit sorbitiunculas.Καὶ ἐπορεύθη Θημὰρ εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ἀμνὼν ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῆς, καὶ αὐτὸς κοιμώμενος· καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ σταῖς καὶ ἐφύρασε, καὶ ἐκολλύρισε κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἥψησε τὰς κολλυρίδας.
9And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,Tollensque quod coxerat, effudit, et posuit coram eo, et noluit comedere: dixitque Amnon: Eiicite universos a me. Cumque eiecissent omnes,Καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ τήγανον καὶ κατεκένωσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε φαγεῖν· καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμνὼν, ἐξαγάγετε πάντα ἄνδρα ἐπάνωθέν μου· καὶ ἐξήγαγον πάντα ἄνδρα ἀπὸ ἐπάνωθεν αὐτοῦ.
10Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.dixit Amnon ad Thamar: Infer cibum in conclave, ut vescar de manu tua. Tulit ergo Thamar sorbitiunculas quas fecerat, et intulit ad Amnon fratrem suum in conclave.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμνὼν πρὸς Θημὰρ, εἰσένεγκε τὸ βρῶμα εἰς τὸ ταμιεῖον, καὶ φάγομαι ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου· καὶ ἔλαβε Θημὰρ τὰς κολλυρίδας ἃς ἐποίησε, καὶ εἰσήνεγκε τῷ Ἀμνὼν ἀδελφῷ αὐτῆς εἰς τὸν κοιτῶνα.
11And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.Cumque obtulisset ei cibum, apprehendit eam, et ait: Veni, cuba mecum, soror mea.Καὶ προσήγαγεν αὐτῷ τοῦ φαγεῖν, καὶ ἐπελάβετο αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, δεῦρο, κοιμήθητι μετʼ ἐμοῦ, ἀδελφή μου.
12She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly.Quae respondit ei: Noli frater mi, noli opprimere me: neque enim hoc fas est in Israël: noli facere stultitiam hanc.Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, μὴ ἀδελφέ μου, μὴ ταπεινώσῃς με, διότι οὐ ποιηθήσεται οὕτως ἐν Ἰσραὴλ, μὴ ποιήσῃς τὴν ἀφροσύνην ταύτην.
13For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.Ego enim ferre non potero opprobrium meum, et tu eris quasi unus de insipientibus in Israël: quin potius loquere ad regem, et non negabit me tibi.Καὶ ἐγὼ ποῦ ἀποίσω τὸ ὄνειδός μου; καὶ σὺ ἔσῃ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀφρόνων ἐν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ νῦν λάλησον δὴ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, ὅτι οὐ μὴ κωλύσῃ με ἀπὸ σοῦ.
14But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.Noluit autem acquiescere precibus eius, sed praevalens viribus oppressit eam, et cubavit cum ea.Καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν Ἀμνὼν τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐκραταίωσεν ὑπὲρ αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετʼ αὐτῆς.
15Then Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before, And Amnon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone.Et exosam eam habuit Amnon odio magno nimis: ita ut maius esset odium quo oderat eam, amore quo ante dilexerat. Dixitque ei Amnon: Surge, et vade.Καὶ ἐμίσησεν αὐτὴν Ἀμνὼν μῖσος μέγα σφόδρα, ὅτι μέγα τὸ μῖσος ὃ ἐμίσησεν αὐτὴν μπὲρ τὴν ἀγάπην ἣν ἠγάπησεν αὐτὴν, ὅτι μείζων ἡ κακία ἡ ἐσχάτη ἢ ἡ πρώτη· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ἀμνὼν, ἀνάστηθι, καὶ πορεύου.
16She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her:Quae respondit ei: Maius est hoc malum quod nunc agis adversum me, quam quod ante fecisti, expellens me. Et noluit audire eam:Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Θημὰρ περὶ τῆς κακίας τῆς μεγάλης ταύτης ὑπὲρ ἑτέραν ἣν ἐποίησας μετʼ ἐμοῦ, τοῦ ἐξαποστεῖλαί με· καὶ οὐκ ἐθέλησεν Ἀμνὼν ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῆς.
17But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.sed vocato puero qui ministrabat ei, dixit: Eiice hanc a me foras, et claude ostium post eam.Καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ τὸν προεστηκότα τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἐξαποστείλατε δὴ ταύτην ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἔξω, καὶ ἀπόκλεισον τὴν θύραν ὀπίσω αὐτῆς.
18And she was clothed with along robe: for the king’s daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her.Quae induta erat talari tunica: huiuscemodi enim filiae regis virgines vestibus utebantur. Eiecit itaque eam minister illius foras: clausitque fores post eam.Καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῆς ἦν χιτὼν καρπωτὸς, ὅτι οὕτως ἐνεδιδύσκοντο αἱ θυγατέρες τοῦ βασιλέως αἱ παρθένοι τοὺς ἐπενδύτας αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτὴν ὁ λειτουργὸς αὐτοῦ ἔξω, καὶ ἀπέκλεισε τὴν θύραν ὀπίσω αὐτῆς.
19And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.Quae aspergens cinerem capiti suo, scissa talari tunica, impositisque manibus super caput suum, ibat ingrediens, et clamans.Καὶ ἔλαβε Θημὰρ σποδὸν, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῆς· καὶ τὸν χιτῶνα τὸν καρπωτὸν τὸν ἐπʼ αὐτῆς διέῤῥηξε· καὶ ἐπέθηκε τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπορεύθη πορευομένη καὶ κράζουσα.
20And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.Dixit autem ei Absalom frater suus: Numquid Amnon frater tuus concubuit tecum? sed nunc soror, tace: frater tuus est: neque affligas cor tuum pro hac re. Mansit itaque Thamar contabescens in domo Absalom fratris sui.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτῆς, μὴ Ἀμνὼν ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἐγένετο μετὰ σοῦ; καὶ νῦν ἀδελφή μου κώφευσον, ὅτι ἀδελφός σου ἐστί· μὴ θῇς τὴν καρδίαν σου τοῦ λαλῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· καὶ ἐκάθισε Θημὰρ χηρεύουσα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῆς.
21And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.Cum autem audisset rex David verba haec, contristatus est valde: et noluit contristare spiritum Amnon filii sui, quoniam diligebat eum, quia primogenitus erat ei.Καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, καὶ ἐθυμώθη σφόδρα, καὶ οὐκ ἐλύπησε τὸ πνεῦμα Ἀμνὼν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἠγάπα αὐτὸν, ὅτι πρωτότοκος αὐτοῦ ἦν.
22But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.Porro non est locutus Absalom ad Amnon nec malum nec bonum: oderat enim Absalom Amnon, eo quod violasset Thamar sororem suam.Καὶ οὐκ ἐλάλησεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ μετὰ Ἀμνὼν ἀπὸ πονηροῦ ἕως ἀγαθοῦ, ὅτι ἐμίσει Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τὸν Ἀμνὼν ἐπὶ λόγου οὗ ἐταπείνωσε Θημὰρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ.
23And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons:Factum est autem post tempus biennii ut tonderentur oves Absalom in Baalhasor, quae est iuxta Ephraim: et vocavit Absalom omnes filios regis,Καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς διετηρίδα ἡμερῶν, καὶ ἦσαν κείροντες τῷ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἐν Βελασὼρ τῇ ἐχόμενα Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως.
24And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant’s sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant.venitque ad regem, et ait ad eum: Ecce tondentur oves servi tui: veniat, oro, rex cum servis suis ad servum suum.Καὶ ἦλθεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ δὴ κείρουσι τῷ δούλῳ σου, πορευθήτω δὴ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ μετὰ τοῦ δούλου σου.
25And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him.Dixitque rex ad Absalom: Noli fili mi, noli rogare ut veniamus omnes et gravemus te. Cum autem cogeret eum, et noluisset ire, benedixit ei.Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλὼμ, μὴ δὴ υἱέ μου, μὴ πορεύθῶμεν πάντες ἡμεῖς, καὶ οὐ μὴ καταβαρυνθῶμεν ἐπὶ σέ· καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτόν, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε τοῦ πορευθῆναι, καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτόν.
26And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Amnon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee.Et ait Absalom: Si non vis venire, veniat, obsecro, nobiscum saltem Amnon frater meus. Dixitque ad eum rex: Non est necesse ut vadat tecum.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ εἰ μή, πορευθήτω δὴ μεθʼ ἡμῶν Ἀμνὼν ὁ ἀδελφός μου· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς, ἱνατί πορευθῇ μετὰ σοῦ;
27But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.Coëgit itaque Absalom eum, et dimisit cum eo Amnon et universos filios regis. Feceratque Absalom convivium quasi convivium regis.Καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτὸν Ἀβεσσαλώμ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε μετʼ αὐτοῦ τὸν Ἀμνὼν καὶ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πότον κατὰ τὸν πότον τοῦ βασιλέως.
28And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men.Praeceperat autem Absalom pueris suis, dicens: Observate cum temulentus fuerit Amnon vino, et dixero vobis: Percutite eum, et interficite: nolite timere: ego enim sum qui praecipio vobis: roboramini, et estote viri fortes.Καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ, λέγων, ἴδετε ὡς ἂν ἀγαθυνθῇ ἡ καρδία Ἀμνὼν ἐν τῷ οἴνῳ, καὶ εἴπω πρὸς ὑμᾶς, πατάξατε τὸν Ἀμνὼν, καὶ θανατώσατε αὐτόν· μὴ φοβηθῆτε, ὅτι οὐχὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἐντελλόμενος ὑμῖν; ἀνδρίζεσθε καὶ γίνεσθε εἰς υἱοὺς δυνάμεως.
29And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king’s sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled.Fecerunt ergo pueri Absalom adversum Amnon sicut praeceperat eis Absalom. Surgentesque omnes filii regis ascenderunt singuli mulas suas, et fugerunt.Καὶ ἐποίησαν τὰ παιδάρια Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τῷ Ἀμνὼν, καθὰ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς Ἀβεσσαλώμ· καὶ ἀνέστησαν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐπεκάθισαν ἀνὴρ ἐπὶ τὴν ἡμιονον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔφυγον.
30And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.Cumque adhuc pergerent in itinere, fama pervenit ad David, dicens: Percussit Absalom omnes filios regis, et non remansit ex eis saltem unus.Καὶ ἐγένετο, αὐτῶν ὄντων ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ ἡ ἀκοὴ ἦλθε πρὸς Δαυὶδ, λέγων, ἐπάταξεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐδὲ εἷς.
31Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.Surrexit itaque rex, et scidit vestimenta sua, et cecidit super terram: et omnes servi illius qui assistebant ei, sciderunt vestimenta sua.Καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ διέῤῥηξε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ οἱ περιεστῶτες αὐτῷ διέῤῥηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν.
32But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David’s brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king’s sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.Respondens autem Ionadab filius Semmaa fratris David, dixit: Ne aestimet dominus meus rex quod omnes pueri filii regis occisi sint: Amnon solus mortuus est, quoniam in ore Absalom erat positus ex die qua oppressit Thamar sororem eius.Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἰωναδὰβ υἱὸς Σαμαὰ ἀδελφοῦ Δαυὶδ, καὶ εἶπε, μὴ εἰπάτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς ὅτι πάντα τὰ παιδάρια τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως ἐθανάτωσεν, ὅτι Ἀμνὼν μονώτατος ἀπέθανεν, ὅτι ἐπὶ στόματος Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἦν κείμενος ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἐταπείνωσε Θημὰρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ.
33Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king’s sons are slain: for Amnon only is dead.Nunc ergo ne ponat dominus meus rex super cor suum verbum istud, dicens: Omnes filii regis occisi sunt: quoniam Amnon solus mortuus est.Καὶ νῦν μὴ θέσθω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ῥῆμα, λέγων, πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως ἀπέθανον· ὅτι ἀλλʼ ἢ Ἀμνὼν μονώτατος ἀπέθανε.
34But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain.Fugit autem Absalom. Et elevavit puer speculator oculos suos, et aspexit: et ecce populus multus veniebat per iter devium ex latere montis.Καὶ ἀπέδρα Ἀβεσσαλώμ. Καὶ ᾖρε τὸ παιδάριον ὁ σκοπὸς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶδε· καὶ ἰδοὺ λαὸς πολὺς πορευόμενος ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ὄπισθεν αὐτοῦ ἐκ πλευρᾶς τοῦ ὄρους ἐν τῇ καταβάσει· καὶ παρεγένετο ὁ σκοπὸς καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἄνδρας ἑώρακα ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ τὴς Ὠρωνῆν ἐκ μέρους τοῦ ὄρους.
35And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king’s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.Dixit autem Ionadab ad regem: Ecce filii regis adsunt: iuxta verbum servi tui, sic factum est.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωναδὰβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, ἰδοὺ οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως πάρεισι· κατὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ δούλου σου, οὕτως ἐγένετο.
36And when he made an end of speaking, the king’s sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much.Cumque cessasset loqui, apparuerunt et filii regis: et intrantes levaverunt vocem suam, et fleverunt: sed et rex et omnes servi eius fleverunt ploratu magno nimis.Καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα συνετέλεσε λαλῶν, καὶ ἰδοὺ οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως ἦλθον, καὶ ἐπῇραν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκλαυσαν· καί γε ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἔκλαυσαν κλαυθμὸν μέγαν σφόδρα.
37But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day.Porro Absalom fugiens abiit ad Tholomai filium Ammiud regem Gessur. Luxit ergo David filium suum cunctis diebus.Καὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἔφυγε, καὶ ἐπορεύθη, πρὸς Θολμὶ υἱὸν Ἐμιοὺδ βασιλέα Γεδσοὺρ εἰς γῆν Χαμααχάδ· καὶ ἐπένθησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
38And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years.Absalom autem cum fugisset, et venisset in Gessur, fuit ibi tribus annis.Καὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἀπέδρα, καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Γεδσοὺρ, καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἔτη τρία.
39And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Amnon.Cessavitque rex David persequi Absalom, eo quod consolatus esset super Amnon interitu.Καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ τοῦ ἐξελθεῖν πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλὼμ, ὅτι παρεκλήθη ἐπὶ Ἀμνὼν, ὅτι ἀπέθανε.

Jesus laments over Jerusalem, which kills the prophets

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
