'Matters' in the Bible

And Joab sendeth and declareth to David all the matters of the war,

and commandeth the messenger, saying, 'At thy finishing all the matters of the war to speak unto the king,

And Absalom saith unto him, 'See, thy matters are good and straightforward -- and there is none hearkening to thee from the king.'

And the king saith to him, 'Why dost thou speak any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba -- share ye the field.'
