Absalom flies to Talmai at Geshur After Absalom had fled The phrase "After Absalom had fled" marks a significant turning point in the narrative of Absalom's life. The Hebrew root for "fled" is "נוס" (nus), which conveys a sense of escaping or taking flight from danger. This action follows Absalom's murder of his brother Amnon, a deed driven by vengeance for the rape of their sister Tamar. In a broader biblical context, fleeing often signifies a separation from God's intended path, as seen in the accounts of Cain and Jonah. Absalom's flight is not just a physical escape but also a spiritual and relational distancing from his family and his responsibilities. and gone to Geshur he stayed there three years Hebrew After Absalomוְאַבְשָׁל֥וֹם (wə·’aḇ·šā·lō·wm) Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 53: Absalom -- 'my father is peace', two Israelites had fled בָּרַ֖ח (bā·raḥ) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular Strong's 1272: To bolt, to flee suddenly and gone וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ (way·yê·leḵ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular Strong's 1980: To go, come, walk to Geshur, גְּשׁ֑וּר (gə·šūr) Noun - proper - feminine singular Strong's 1650: Geshur -- a territory East of the upper Jordan, also inhabitants of Geshur he stayed וַיְהִי־ (way·hî-) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular Strong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, be there שָׁ֖ם (šām) Adverb Strong's 8033: There, then, thither three שָׁלֹ֥שׁ (šā·lōš) Number - feminine singular Strong's 7969: Three, third, thrice years. שָׁנִֽים׃ (šā·nîm) Noun - feminine plural Strong's 8141: A year Links 2 Samuel 13:38 NIV2 Samuel 13:38 NLT 2 Samuel 13:38 ESV 2 Samuel 13:38 NASB 2 Samuel 13:38 KJV 2 Samuel 13:38 BibleApps.com 2 Samuel 13:38 Biblia Paralela 2 Samuel 13:38 Chinese Bible 2 Samuel 13:38 French Bible 2 Samuel 13:38 Catholic Bible OT History: 2 Samuel 13:38 So Absalom fled and went to Geshur (2Sa iiSam 2 Sam ii sam) |
