And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou {art} worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted. {worthy...: Heb. a man of death}

And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped {him}. {he...: Heb. his words were with} {following...: Heb. helped after Adonijah}

And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.

And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD'S priests.

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,

And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.

I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. {over: Heb. upon}

For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold {it}: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.

And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.

Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad {be} not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father. {come...: Heb. find my father}

But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of {her} age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
