I was using Marulić's argumenta as the basis for the synopses of the books. I ran out of steam, and so here are the final four if anyone wants them (note, the usage of Latin in translation is already noted on the page):
In Book XI, Siba seruus munera obtulit Dauidi. Miphibosetum dominum suum defectionis insimulat. Dauid fugiens Absalonem uenit in Baurim. Semei maledicta patitur. Absalon Chusum Hierosolymas ingressum recipit. Achitophelis impulsu patris concubinis palam abutitur. Achitophel petiit, ut persequatur Dauidem. Chusus intercessit. Absalon sequitur sententiam Chusi. Chusus per internuncios certiorem facit Dauidem. Qui missi fuerant, uiderunt post se uenire Absalonis milites, et latuerunt in puteo. Recedentibus egressi ueniunt ad regem et suadent fugam. Achitophel repudiatae suae sententiae dolore laqueo sibi mortem consciuit. Dauid ingreditur oppidum Castra. Absalon transit Iordanem. Amasam praeficit exercitui. Castrametatur in Galad. Dauid auxilia accipit a regibus Amonitarum. Constituit tribunos Ioabum, Abisam et Etheum. Hi direxerunt aciem aduersus Absalonem. Rex in oppido remansit. Commisso proelio Absaloniani caeduntur. Ipse Absalon fugiens per capillos implicatur et confoditur. Rex audita uictoria lugere coepit Absalonis necem. Omnibus qui cum Absalone fuerant pepercit. Amasam eius ducem Ioabi collegam fecit.
In Book XII, Dauidi Hierosolymam reuertenti prima occurrit tribus Iuda. Semeus pro maledictis impetrat ueniam. Occurrit et Siba cum filiis. Venit Miphiboseth habitu lugubri. De Siba seruo questus est coram rege. Rex iussit, ut diuidant inter se bona. Berzelaus Galadites, inuitatus ut Hierosolymis habitaret cum rege, excusauit aetatem et regi filium Chamaam reliquit. Reliquae tribus altercantur cum Iuda, quod sine se occurrerit regi. Seba mouit seditionem. Rex ingreditur urbem, Concubinas ab Absalone pollutas a se separat. Ducibus iniungit, ut persequantur Sebam. Ioab Amasam collegam per amiciciae simulationem interimit et cum Abisa fratre profectus obsedit Abellam, quo Seba confugerat. Seba mulieris persuasu a ciuibus interempto reccessit et reuersus est Hierosolymam. Fames triennis fuit, eo quod Saul non seruauerat iusiurandum a Iosuo Gabaonitis datum. Dauid tradidit eis septem uiros de domo Saulis, quos illi suspenderunt. Respha mater ibi sedit custodiens eorum corpora. Dauid transtulit ossa Saulis et Ionathae a Iabitis ad terram Beniamin et cessauit fames. Pugna inita cum Palestinis Iesbenodob percussurus regem excipitur telo Abisae et cadit. Dauid ultra non est permissus exire ad praelium. Secunda pugna Saboch interimit Zaphum. Tertia Adeodatus Goliam. Quarta Ionathas, Samae filius, hominem XXIIII digitos habentem.
In Book XIII, Dauid ab omnibus inimicis liber cecinit laudes Domino et pro beneficiis gratias egit. Iam morti proximus psalmos cantauit, in quibus mysteria Christi praedixit. Contexit cathalogum robustissimorum in Israel. Ioab iussus numerat uiros bello idoneos per omnes tribus. Dauid hac in re se peccasse fatetur. In poenam peccati proposita trium malorum optione eligit pestilentiam. Vidit angelum percutientem. Statuit altare in area Areunae. Obtulit holocausta, et cessauit morbus. Regum lib. III, cap. I. Dauid senex refrixit. Abisac Sunamitis dormiebat cum illo, ut ipsum calefaceret. Ipse uero inuiolatam reliquit.
In Book XIV, Adonias, Dauidis filius ex Agila, appetiit regnum. Bersabe coram rege queritur quod Adonias regnet, quum ipse iurauerit Salomonem post se regnaturum. Salomon igitur iussu Dauidis ungitur in regem et in solio collocatur. Qui cum Adonia erant, territi fugerunt. Adonias ad tabernaculum confugiens impetrat ueniam, egressus Salomonem adorat. II. Dauid moriens dat praecepta Salomoni: ut deum colat, ut in Ioabum animaduertat, qui in pace duos principes: Abnerum et Amasam interemerat, ut Semeum, maledicum et seditiosum hominem, metu poenae compescat, peccantem puniat, ut Berzelai filios charos habeat, optime de se meritos. Obiit et sepultus est in arce Syon. Regnauit annos XL: in Hebron VII, Hierosolymis XXXIII.<ref>Marulić, Davidiad, 14, argument.
