3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begot more sons and daughters.
And these are the sons of David, who were born to him in Hebron: the firstborn, Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jizreelitess; the second, Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess; the third, Absalom the son of Maachah, daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; the fifth, Shephatiah of Abital; the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah his wife: six were born to him in Hebron. And there he reigned seven years and six months. And in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years.
Let thy fountain be blessed; and have joy of the wife of thy youth. As a lovely hind and a graceful roe, let her breasts satisfy thee at all times: be thou ravished continually with her love.
and I found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is nets and snares, [and] whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be caught by her. See this which I have found, saith the Preacher, [searching] one by one to find out the reason; which my soul yet seeketh, and I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found, but a woman among all those have I not found. Only see this which I have found: that God made man upright, but they have sought out many devices.
