Löydetty 126 Tulokset: Joab
Joab therefore sent to Tekoa for a wise woman. 'Pretend to be in mourning,' he said. 'Dress yourself in mourning, do not perfume yourself; act like a woman who has long been mourning for the dead. (2 Samuel 14, 2)
Then go to the king and say this to him.' And Joab put the words into her mouth which she was to say. (2 Samuel 14, 3)
'Is not Joab's hand behind you in all this?' the king asked. The woman replied, 'As you live, my lord king, I cannot escape what my lord the king says, either to right or to left. Yes, it was your servant Joab who gave me my orders; he put all these words into your servant's mouth. (2 Samuel 14, 19)
Your servant Joab did this to approach the matter indirectly, but my lord has the wisdom of the Angel of God; he knows everything that happens on earth!' (2 Samuel 14, 20)
The king then said to Joab, 'Very well, the suit is granted. Go and bring the young man Absalom back.' (2 Samuel 14, 21)
Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrated himself and blessed the king. 'My lord king,' Joab said, 'today your servant knows that he has won your favour, since the king has done what his servant asked.' (2 Samuel 14, 22)
Joab then set off, went to Geshur, and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem. (2 Samuel 14, 23)
Absalom then summoned Joab, intending to send him to the king, but Joab would not come to him. He sent for him a second time, but still he would not come. (2 Samuel 14, 29)
At this, Absalom said to his retainers, 'Look, Joab's field is next to mine and he has barley in it; go and set it on fire.' Absalom's retainers set fire to the field. (2 Samuel 14, 30)
Joab then stirred himself, went to Absalom in his house and asked, 'Why have your retainers set my field on fire?' (2 Samuel 14, 31)
Absalom replied to Joab, 'Look, I sent word to you: Come here, so that I can send you to the king to say, "Why come back from Geshur? Better for me to have been there still!" Now I want to be received by the king, and if I am guilty, let him put me to death!' (2 Samuel 14, 32)
Joab went to the king and told him this. He then summoned Absalom, who prostrated himself with his face to the ground before the king. And the king kissed Absalom. (2 Samuel 14, 33)
