2 Samuel 2

2 Samuel 2:14

Let the young men now arise, and play before us.

Let the young men arise, and skirmish before us.

2 Samuel 2:26

Knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end?

Dost thou not consider, that the remembrance of so much Israelitish blood shed by their brethren will be once grievous unto thee!

2 Samuel 2:27

As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.

As the Lord liveth, thou art the only cause of this bloodshed; for if thou hadst not made that challenge, and provoked us thereby to fight, surely in the morning the people had peaceably departed, without giving any blow to their brethren.

2 Samuel 2:31

Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, &c.

Since he will needs die there, there let him die; for the Law of God doth not allow any protection for wilful murder, from his own tabernacle or altar: rather he defiles the altar, than the altar can assure him.
