David, at the remonstrances of Joab, ceaseth his mourning. He is invited back and met by Semei and Miphiboseth: a strife between the men of Juda and the men of Israel.

1And it was told Joab, that the king wept and mourned for his son:Or fu detto a Gioab, come il re piangeva, ed era in duolo per ragion del figliuolo.AND it was told Ioab, that the king wept, and mourned for his sonne:Nuntiatum est autem Joab quod rex fleret et lugeret filium suum, 2And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day: The king grieveth for his son.E la vittoria in quel giorno si cangiò in lutto per tutto il popolo, perchè il popolo senti dire in quel giorno: Il re piange il suo figliuolo.And the victorie was turned into mourning that day to al the people: for the people heard it sayd in that day: The king soroweth vpon his sonne.et versa est victoria in luctum in die illa omni populo: audivit enim populus in die illa dici: Dolet rex super filio suo. 3And the people shunned the going into the city that day as a people would do that hath turned their backs, and fled away from the battle.E il popolo si ritenne in quel dì dall'entrare nella città, come suol ritenersi un popolo, che è stato messo in rotta, ed è fuggito dalla battaglia.And the people shunned that day to enter into the citie, as a people turned, & fleing out of battel is wont to shrinke aside.Et declinavit populus in die illa ingredi civitatem, quomodo declinare solet populus versus et fugiens de prælio. 4And the king covered his head, and cried with a loud voice: O my son Absalom, O Absalom my son, O my son.Ma il re si era coperto il capo, e ad alta voce gridava: Figliuol mio Assalonne, Assalonne figlio mio, figlio mio.Moreouer the king couered his head, and cried with a lowd voice: O my sonne Absalom, o Absalō my sonne, o my sonne.Porro rex operuit caput suum, et clamabat voce magna: Fili mi Absalom, Absalom fili mi, fili mi. 5Then Joab going into the house to the king, said: Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, that have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines.Ma Gioab andò a trovare il re nella casa, e disse: Tu oggi hai coperta di rossore la faccia di tutti i tuoi servi, i quali hanno salvata la vita tua, e la vita de' tuoi figliuoli, e delle tue figlie, e la vita delle tue mogli, e la vita delle tue concubine.Ioab therfore entring in to the king, into his house, sayd: Thou hast cōfounded this day the countenances of al thy seruantes, that haue saued thy life, and the life of thy sonnes, and thy daughters, and the life of thy wiues, and the life of thy concubines.Ingressus ergo Joab ad regem in domum, dixit: Confudisti hodie vultus omnium servorum tuorum, qui salvam fecerunt animam tuam, et animam filiorum tuorum et filiarum tuarum, et animam uxorum tuarum, et animam concubinarum tuarum.

6Thou lovest them that hate thee, and thou hatest them that love thee: and thou hast shewn this day that thou carest not for thy nobles, nor for thy servants: and I now plainly perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had been slain, then it would have pleased thee.Tu ami que' che ti odiano, e hai in odio quei che ti amano: e hai oggi fatto vedere, come non ti cale de' tuoi capitani, e dei tuoi servi, e ora io ho conosciuto esser vero, che se Assalonne fosse vivo, e tutti noi fossimo morti, allora saresti contento.Thou louest them that hate thee, and thou hatest them that loue thee: and thou hast shewed this day that thou carest not for thy nobles, and for thy seruantes: and in deede I knowe now, that if Absalom liued, and al we had beene slayne, then it would please thee.Diligis odientes te, et odio habes diligentes te: et ostendisti hodie quia non curas de ducibus tuis et de servis tuis: et vere cognovi modo, quia si Absalom viveret, et omnes nos occubuissemus, tunc placeret tibi. 7Now therefore arise, and go out, and speak to the satisfaction of thy servants: for I swear to thee by the Lord, that if thou wilt not go forth, there will not tarry with thee so much as one this night: and that will be worse to thee, than all the evils that have befallen thee from thy youth until now.Ora pertanto alzati, ed esci fuora, e parla, e contenta i tuoi servi: perocché io giuro a te pel Signore, che se tu non esci fuora, neppur un uomo si resterà teco questa notte: e questo sarà ben peggio per te, che tutt'i mali, che ti sono caduti addosso dalla tua adolescenza fino al presente.Now therfore arise, and come forth, and speaking vnto them satisfie thy seruantes: for I sweare to thee by our Lord, that if thou wilt not goe forth, not one verely wil remayne with thee this night: and this shal be worse for thee, then al the euils, which haue come vpon thee from thy youth vntil this present.Nunc igitur surge, et procede, et alloquens satisfac servis tuis: juro enim tibi per Dominum quod si non exieris, ne unus quidem remansurus sit tecum nocte hac: et pejus erit hoc tibi quam omnia mala quæ venerunt super te ab adolescentia tua usque in præsens. 8Then the king arose and sat in the gate: and it was told to all the people that the king sat in the gate: and all the people came before the king, but Israel fled to their own dwellings.E il re allora si alzò, e si pose a sedere sulla porta (della città); e tutto il popolo seppe, come il re era assiso alla porta: e tutti in folla si presentarono al re: ma quei d'Israele se n'eran fuggiti alle loro tende.The king therfore arose and sate in the gate: and it was told al the people that the king sate in the gate: and al the multitude came forth before the king, but Israel fled into their tabernacles.Surrexit ergo rex et sedit in porta: et omni populo nuntiatum est quod rex sederet in porta. Venitque universa multitudo coram rege: Israël autem fugit in tabernacula sua. 9And all the people were at strife in all the tribes of Israel, saying: The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines: and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.E di più tutto il popolo in tutte le tribù d'Israele altercava, e diceva: il re ci liberò dalle mani de' nostri nemici, egli ci salvò dalle mani de' Filistei, e ora ha dovuto fuggire da questa terra a causa di Assalonne.Al the people also stroue in al the tribes of Israel, saying: The king hath deliuered vs out of the hand of our enemies, he hath saued vs from the head of the Philistianes: and now he fled out of the land for Absalom.Omnis quoque populus certabat in cunctis tribubus Israël, dicens: Rex liberavit nos de manu inimicorum nostrorum; ipse salvavit nos de manu Philisthinorum: et nunc fugit de terra propter Absalom.

10But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in the battle: how long are you silent, and bring not back the king?Or Assalonne unto da noi per nostro re è morto nella battaglia: sino a quando vi state mutoli, e non fate tornare il re?But Absalom whom we annoynted ouer vs, is dead in the battel: how long are you stil, and reduce not the king?Absalom autem, quem unximus super nos, mortuus est in bello: usquequo siletis, et non reducitis regem ? 11And king David sent to Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, saying: Speak to the ancients of Juda, saying: Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? (For the talk of all Israel was come to the king in his house.)Ma il re Davidde mandò a dire a' sommi sacerdoti Sadoc e Abiathar: Parlate a' seniori di Giuda, e dite loro: Per qual motivo verrete voi gli ultimi a ricondurre il re a casa sua? (Perocché i discorsi di tutto Israele eran giunti a notizia del re in sua casa)But king Dauid sent to Sadoc, and Abiathar the priestes, saying: Speake to the Ancientes of Iuda, saying: Why come you last to bring backe the king into his house? (And the saying of al Israel was come to the king in his house.)Rex vero David misit ad Sadoc et Abiathar sacerdotes, dicens: Loquimini ad majores natu Juda, dicentes: Cur venitis novissimi ad reducendum regem in domum suam ? (Sermo autem omnis Israël pervenerat ad regem in domo ejus.) 12You are my brethren, you are my bone, and my flesh, why are you the last to bring back the king?Voi siete miei fratelli, voi mie ossa, e mia carne; perchè siete voi gli ultimi a far tornare il re?You are my brethren, you my bone, and my flesh, why do you last bring backe the king?Fratres mei vos, os meum, et caro mea vos, quare novissimi reducitis regem ? 13And say ye to Amasa: Art not thou my bone, and my flesh? So do God to me and add more, if thou be not the chief captain of the army before me always in the place of Joab.E dite ad Amasa: Non se' tu carne mia, e mio sangue? Il Signore faccia a me questo, e peggio, se io non ti fo per sempre capo delle mie schiere in luogo di Gioab.And say ye to Amasa: Art not thou my bone, and my flesh? These thinges do God to me, and these adde he, if thou be not the chiefe captayne of warfare before me alwayes for Ioab.Et Amasæ dicite: Nonne os meum, et caro mea es ? hæc faciat mihi Deus, et hæc addat, si non magister militiæ fueris coram me omni tempore pro Joab. 14And he inclined the heart of all the men of Juda, as it were of one man: and they sent to the king, saying: Return thou, and all thy servants.Ed egli piegò il cuore di tutti gli uomini di Giuda, come se fossero un sol uomo: e mandarono a dire al re: Ritorna tu, e tutti i tuoi servi.And he inclined the hart of al the men of Iuda, as it were of one man: and they sent to the king, saying: Returne thou, and al thy seruantes.Et inclinavit cor omnium virorum Juda quasi viri unius: miseruntque ad regem, dicentes: Revertere tu, et omnes servi tui.

15And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan, and all Juda came as far as Galgal to meet the king, and to bring him over the Jordan.E il re tornò, e andò fino al Giordano, e tutto Giuda andò sino a Galgala incontro al re per servirlo nel passaggio del Giordano.And the king returned, and came as far as Iordan, and al Iuda came as far as Galgal to meete the king, and to bring him ouer Iordan.Et reversus est rex, et venit usque ad Jordanem: et omnis Juda venit usque in Galgalam ut occurreret regi, et traduceret eum Jordanem. 16And Semei the son of Gera the son of Jemini of Bahurim, made haste and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David,Ma Semei di Bahurim figliuolo di Gera figliuolo di Jemini andò in fretta incontro al re Davidde cogli uomini di Giuda,And Semei the sonne of Gera the sonne of Iemini of Bahurim made hast, and went downe with the men of Iuda to meete king DauidFestinavit autem Semei filius Gera filii Jemini de Bahurim, et descendit cum viris Juda in occursum regis David, 17With a thousand men of Benjamin, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul: and his fifteen sons, and twenty servants were with him: and going over the Jordan,Avendo seco mille uomini di Beniamin, e Siba servo della casa di Saul, con quindici suoi figliuoli, venti servi, che eran con lui, e questi gittatisi nel Giordano per presentarsi al re;with a thousand men of Benjamin, and Siba the seruant of the house of Saul: and his fiftene sonnes, and twentie seruantes were with him: and rushing into Iordan,cum mille viris de Benjamin, et Siba puer de domo Saul: et quindecim filii ejus, ac viginti servi erant cum eo: et irrumpentes Jordanem, ante regem 18Passarono il guado affine di far passare la famiglia del re, e fare quello ch'ei comandasse. Ma Semei figliuolo di Gera prostratosi dinanzi al re, quando questi ebbe passato il Giordano,passed the fordes before the king, that they might helpe ouer the kinges houshould, and doe according to his commandement. And Semei the sonne of Gera prostrate before the king, when he had now passed Iordan,transierunt vada, ut traducerent domum regis, et facerent juxta jussionem ejus: Semei autem filius Gera prostratus coram rege, cum jam transisset Jordanem, 19Said to him: Impute not to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor remember the injuries of thy servant on the day that thou, my lord, the king, wentest out of Jerusalem, nor lay it up in thy heart, O king.Gli disse: Non punire, o signor mio, la mia iniquità, e non ricordarti delle ingiurie del tuo servo il dì, in cui uscivi di Gerusalemme, o re mio signore, e non ritenerle, o re, in cuor tuo.sayd to him: Impute not to me my lord the iniquirie, nor remember the iniuries of thy seruant in the day that thou my lord king wentest out of Ierusalem, nor put it in thy hart o king.dixit ad eum: Ne reputes mihi, domine mi, iniquitatem, neque memineris injuriarum servi tui in die qua egressus es, domine mi rex, de Jerusalem, neque ponas, rex, in corde tuo.

20For I thy servant acknowledge my sin: and therefore I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph, and am come down to meet my lord the king.Perocché io tuo servo conosco il mio peccato, e per questo son oggi venuto il primo di tutta la casa di Giuseppe incontro al re mio signore.For I thy seruant acknowledge my sinne: and therefore this day I am first come of al the house of Ioseph, and am descended to meete my lord the king.Agnosco enim servus tuus peccatum meum: et idcirco hodie primus veni de omni domo Joseph, descendique in occursum domini mei regis. 21But Abisai the son of Sarvia answering, said: Shall Semei for these words not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord’s anointed?Ma Abisai figliuolo di Sarvia rispose, e disse: E basteranno forse queste parole a far sì, che non sia messo a morte Semei, che ha maledetto il cristo del Signore?But Abisai the sonne of Saruia answering, sayd: What shal Semei for these wordes not be slayne, because he reuiled the annoynted of our Lord?Respondens vero Abisai filius Sarviæ, dixit: Numquid pro his verbis non occidetur Semei, quia maledixit christo Domini ? 22And David said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? why are you a satan this day to me? shall there any man be killed this day in Israel? do not I know that this day I am made king over Israel?Ma Davidde disse: Che ho io da fare con voi, o figliuoli di Sarvia? Perchè fate voi oggi da miei avversarii? Sarà egli vero, che si uccida quest'oggi un uomo in Israele? Non so io forse, che oggi sono stato fatto re d'Israele?And Dauid sayd: What is to me and you ye sonnes of Saruia? Why are you made this day as satan to me? Shal there a man be killed in Israel to day? Doe I not know that this day I am made king ouer Israel?Et ait David: Quid mihi et vobis, filii Sarviæ ? cur efficimini mihi hodie in satan ? ergone hodie interficietur vir in Israël ? an ignoro hodie me factum regem super Israël ? 23And the king said to Semei: Thou shalt not die. And he swore unto him.E il re disse a Semei: Tu non morrai: e gliene fe' giuramento.And the king sayd to Semei: Thou shalr not die. And he sware to him.Et ait rex Semei: Non morieris. Juravitque ei. 24And Miphiboseth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard: nor washed his garments from the day that the king went out, until the day of his return in peace.Anche Miphiboseth figliuolo di Saul andò incontro al re coi piedi sporchi, e colla barba non tagliata, e non avea lavate le sue vesti dal dì, in cui era partito il re (di Gerusalemme) fino al dì del pacifico suo ritorno.Miphiboseth also the sonne of Saul came downe to meete the king, his feete vnwashed, and his beard not pouled: and he had not washed his garmentes from the day that the king went forth, vntil the day of his returne in peace.Miphiboseth quoque filius Saul descendit in occursum regis, illotis pedibus et intonsa barba: vestesque suas non laverat a die qua egressus fuerat rex, usque ad diem reversionis ejus in pace.

25And when he met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him: Why camest thou not with me, Miphiboseth?Ed essendosi presentato al re in Gerusalemme, il re gli disse: Perchè non venisti tu meco, o Miphiboseth?And when he had mette the king at Ierusalem, the king sayd to him: Why camest thou not with me Miphiboseth?Cumque Jerusalem occurrisset regi, dixit ei rex: Quare non venisti mecum, Miphiboseth ? 26And he answering, said: My lord, O king, my servant despised me: for I thy servant spoke to him to saddle me an ass, that I might get on and go with the king: for I thy servant am lame.Rispose Miphiboseth: Il mio servo, o re mio signore, si burlò di me: gli avea detto io tuo servo, che mi allestisse l'asino, perchè io sopra di esso potessi andare col re, conciossiachè sono stroppiato io tuo servo.And he answering, sayd: My lord king, my seruant contemned me: and I thy seruant spake to him that he should fadle me an asse, that getting on I might goe with the king: for I thy seruant am lame.Et respondens ait: Domine mi rex, servus meus contempsit me: dixique ei ego famulus tuus ut sterneret mihi asinum, et ascendens abirem cum rege: claudus enim sum servus tuus. 27Moreover he hath also accused me thy servant to thee, my lord the king: but thou my lord the king art as an angel of God, do what pleaseth thee.Ed egli per giunta ha portato accuse contro di me tuo servo a te, o re mio signore: ma tu, o re signor mio, tu se' come un Angelo di Dio: fa quello che è di tuo piacimento.Moreouer he hath also accused me thy seruant to thee my lord king: but thou my lord king art as an Angel of God, doe what pleaseth thee.Insuper et accusavit me servum tuum ad te dominum meum regem: tu autem, domine mi rex, sicut angelus Dei es: fac quod placitum est tibi. 28For all of my father’s house were no better than worthy of death before my lord the king; and thou hast set me thy servant among the guests of thy table: what just complaint therefore have I? or what right to cry any more to the king?Imperocché non ha meritato la casa del padre mio dal re mio signore, se non la morte: e tu ricevesti me tuo servo tra quelli che mangiano alla tua mensa: di che adunque poss'io con giustizia dolermi? o come poss'io ancora importunare il re?For neither was my fathers house ought els, but guiltie of death to my lord king: and thou hast put me thy seruant among the guestes of thy table? What iust complaynt therfore haue I? or what can I further crie out to the king?Neque enim fuit domus patris mei, nisi morti obnoxia domino meo regi: tu autem posuisti me servum tuum inter convivas mensæ tuæ: quid ergo habeo justæ querelæ ? aut quid possum ultra vociferari ad regem ?

29Then the king said to him: Why speakest thou any more? what I have said is determined: thou and Siba divide the possessions.Il re pertanto gli disse: Che occorre, che tu dica di più? quello che ho detto, starà: tu, e Siba, dividetevi le tenute.The king therfore sayd to him: What speakest thou any more? That is determined which I haue spoken: Thou, and Siba diuide the possessions.Ait ergo ei rex: Quid ultra loqueris ? fixum est quod locutus sum: tu et Siba dividite possessiones. 30And Miphiboseth answered the king: Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is returned peaceably into his house.E Miphiboseth rispose al re: Si prenda pur egli ogni cosa, dappoiché il re mio signore se n'è tornato in pace a casa sua.And Miphiboseth answered the the king: Yea let him take al, for so much as my lord king is returned peaceably into his houseResponditque Miphiboseth regi: Etiam cuncta accipiat, postquam reversus est dominus meus rex pacifice in domum suam. 31Berzellai also the Galaadite coming down from Rogelim, brought the king over the Jordan, being ready also to wait on him beyond the river.Similmente Berzellai di Galaad, partitosi da Rogelim, servì il re nel passaggio del Giordano, pronto a seguirlo anche di là dal fiume.Berzellai also the Galaadite, coming downe from Rogelim, brought the king ouer Iordan, being readie also to attend on him beyond the riuer.Berzellai quoque Galaadites, descendens de Rogelim, traduxit regem Jordanem, paratus etiam ultra fluvium prosequi eum. 32Now Berzellai the Galaadite was of a great age, that is to say, fourscore years old, and he provided the king with sustenance when he abode in the camp: for he was a man exceeding rich.Ora Berzellai di Galaad era assai vecchio, cioè di ottant'anni, ed egli avea somministrato viveri al re, quando era agli alloggiamenti: perocché egli era molto facoltoso.And Berzellai the Galaadite was verie old, that is to say, of foure score yeares, and he gaue the king victuals, when he abode in the Fild: for he was an exceding rich man.Erat autem Berzellai Galaadites senex valde, id est, octogenarius, et ipse præbuit alimenta regi cum moraretur in castris: fuit quippe vir dives nimis. 33And the king said to Berzellai: Come with me that thou mayest rest secure with me in Jerusalem.E il re disse a Berzellai: Vieni meco a riposarti in pace a Gerusalemme.The king therfore sayd to Berzellai: Come with me, that thou mayst rest secure with me in Ierusalem.Dixit itaque rex ad Berzellai: Veni mecum, ut requiescas securus mecum in Jerusalem.

34And Berzellai said to the king: How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?Ma Berzellai disse al re: Di che età son io, che debba andare col re a Gerusalemme?And Berzellai sayd to the king: How manie are the daies of the yeares of my life, that I should goe vp with the king into Ierusalem?Et ait Berzellai ad regem: Quot sunt dies annorum vitæ meæ, ut ascendam cum rege in Jerusalem ? 35I am this day fourscore years old, are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? or can meat or drink delight thy servant? or can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why should thy servant be a burden to my lord, the king?Io ho oggimai ottanta anni: i miei sensi son'eglino assai vegeti per distinguere il dolce dall'amaro? ovver può egli il tuo servo trovar suo piacere nel mangiare, e nel bere? o star ancora a sentire le voci dei cantori, e delle cantatrici? Per qual motivo il tuo servo sarà di aggravio al re mio signore?I am this day foure score yeares old, are my senses quicke to discerne sweete, or sowre? or can meate or drinke delight thy seruant? or can I heare more the voyce of singing men and singing wemen? Why should thy seruant be a burden to my lord the king?Octogenarius sum hodie: numquid vigent sensus mei ad discernendum suave aut amarum ? aut delectare potest servum tuum cibus et potus ? vel audire possum ultra vocem cantorum atque cantatricum ? quare servus tuus sit oneri domino meo regi ? 36I thy servant will go on a little way from the Jordan with thee: I need not this recompense.Ti seguirò io tuo servo ancor per un poco di là dal Giordano: ma non ho bisogno di tal cambiamento.I thy seruant wil goe forward a litle from Iordan with thee: I neede not this recompense,Paululum procedam famulus tuus ab Jordane tecum: non indigeo hac vicissitudine, 37But I beseech thee let thy servant return, and die in my own city, and be buried by the sepulchre of my father, and of my mother. But there is thy servant Chamaam, let him go with thee, my lord, the king, and do to him whatsoever seemeth good to thee.Ma, ti prego, lascia che io tuo servo me ne torni a morire nella mia patria, e ivi io sia sepolto presso alla sepoltura di mio padre, e di mia madre. Ma ecco qui Chamaam tuo servo, venga egli teco, o re signor mio, e fa di lui quello che a te piacerà.,but I besech thee that I thy seruant may returne, and die in my citie, and be buried by the sepulchre of my father, and my mother. But there is thy seruant Chamaam, let him goe with thee, my lord king, and doe to him whatsoeuer semeth good to thee.sed obsecro ut revertar servus tuus, et moriar in civitate mea, et sepeliar juxta sepulchrum patris mei et matris meæ. Est autem servus tuus Chamaam: ipse vadat tecum, domine mi rex, et fac ei quidquid tibi bonum videtur.

38Then the king said to him: Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do for him whatsoever shall please thee, and all that thou shalt ask of me, thou shalt obtain.E il re gli disse: Verrà meco Chamaam, e io farò per lui tutto quello che tu vorrai, e otterrai da me tutto quello che domanderai.The king therfore sayd to him: Let Chamaam passe on with me, and I wil doe for him whatsoeuer shal please thee, and al, that thou shalt aske of me, thou shalt obtayne.Dixit itaque ei rex: Mecum transeat Chamaam, et ego faciam ei quidquid tibi placuerit: et omne quod petieris a me, impetrabis. 39And when all the people and the king had passed over the Jordan, the king kissed Berzellai, and blessed him: and he returned to his own place.E quando il re, e tutto il popolo ebber passato il Giordano, il re baciò Berzellai, e Io benedisse: ed egli se ne tornò a casa sua,And when al the people and the king had passed Iordan, the king kissed Berzellai, and blessed him: and he returned into his place.Cumque transisset universus populus et rex Jordanem, osculatus est rex Berzellai, et benedixit ei: et ille reversus est in locum suum. 40So the king went on to Galgal, and Chamaam with him. Now all the people of Juda had brought the king over, and only half of the people of Israel were there.E il re passò a Galgala, e con lui Chamaam. Or tutto il popolo di Giuda avea accompagnato il re nel suo passaggio del Giordano, e vi si era trovata solamente la metà del popolo d'Israele.The king therfore passed into Galgal, and Chamaam with him, and al the people of Iuda had brought ouer the king, and the halfe part onlie of the people of Israel were present.Transivit ergo rex in Galgalam, et Chamaam cum eo. Omnis autem populus Juda traduxerat regem, et media tantum pars adfuerat de populo Israël. 41Therefore all the men of Israel running together to the king, said to him: Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen thee away, and have brought the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?Per la qual cosa tutti gli uomini d'Israele affollatisi intorno al re gli dissero: con qual titolo i nostri fratelli gli uomini di Giuda ti hanno rubato, e han fatto passare il Giordano al re, e alla sua famiglia, e a tutta la gente di David con lui?Therfore al the men of Israel concurring to the king, sayd to him: Why haue our brethren the men of Iuda stolen thee, and brought the king and his houshould ouer Iordan, and al the men of Dauid with him?Itaque omnes viri Israël concurrentes ad regem dixerunt ei: Quare te furati sunt fratres nostri viri Juda, et traduxerunt regem et domum ejus Jordanem, omnesque viros David cum eo ?

42And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel: Because the king is nearer to me: why art thou angry for this matter? have we eaten any thing of the king’s, or have any gifts been given us?E tutti gli uomini di Giuda risposero a quelli d'Israele: Perchè il re appartiene a noi più dappresso: perchè vi alterate voi per simil cosa? Abbiam noi mangiato qualche cosa al re, ovver sono stati dati a noi dei donativi?And euerie man of Iuda answered the men of Israel. Because the king is neerer to me: why art thou angrie for this matter? haue we eaten any thing of the kinges, or were there giftes geuen vs?Et respondit omnis vir Juda ad viros Israël: Quia mihi propior est rex: cur irasceris super hac re ? numquid comedimus aliquid ex rege, aut munera nobis data sunt ? 43And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said: I have ten parts in the king more than thou, and David belongeth to me more than to thee: why hast thou done me a wrong, and why was it not told me first, that I might bring back my king? And the men of Juda answered more harshly than the men of Israel.E quelli d'Israele risposero a que' di Giuda, e dissero: Noi siam dieci volte da più di voi riguardo al re, e Davidde appartiene a noi più che a voi: per qual motivo ci avete fatto questo torto, e perchè non è stato dato avviso primieramente a me, affinchè io riconducessi il mio re? Ma gli uomini di Giuda risposero con qualche asprezza a quei d'Israele.And a certayne man of Israel answered the men of Iuda, and sayd: I am greater by ten partes with the king, & to me pertayneth Dauid more then to thee: Why hast thou done me wrong, and it was not told me first, that I might bring backe my king? And the men of Iuda answered more sharply then the men of Israel.Et respondit vir Israël ad viros Juda, et ait: Decem partibus major ego sum apud regem, magisque ad me pertinet David quam ad te: cur fecisti mihi injuriam, et non mihi nuntiatum est priori, ut reducerem regem meum ? Durius autem responderunt viri Juda viris Israël.
