2 Samuel 18:1-18

And David
<01732>

numbered
<06485> (8799)

the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, and set
<07760> (8799)

captains
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>

and captains
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>

over them.

And David
<01732>

sent forth
<07971> (8762)

a third part
<07992>

of the people
<05971>

under the hand
<03027>

of Joab
<03097>_,

and a third part
<07992>

under the hand
<03027>

of Abishai
<052>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>_,

Joab's
<03097>

brother
<0251>_,

and a third part
<07992>

under the hand
<03027>

of Ittai
<0863>

the Gittite
<01663>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the people
<05971>_,

I will surely
<03318> (8800)

go forth
<03318> (8799)

with you myself
<0589>

also.

But the people
<05971>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt not go forth
<03318> (8799)_:

for if we flee
<05127> (8799)

away
<05127> (8800)_,

they will not care
<07760> (8799) <03820>

for us; neither if half
<02677>

of us die
<04191> (8799)_,

will they care
<07760> (8799) <03820>

for us: but now [thou art] worth
<03644>

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

of us: therefore now [it is] better
<02896>

that thou succour
<05826> (8800) (8675) <05826> (8687)

us out of the city
<05892>_.

{care...: Heb. set their heart on us} {worth...: Heb. as ten thousand of us} {succour: Heb. be to succour or help}

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What seemeth
<05869>

you best
<03190> (8799)

I will do
<06213> (8799)_.

And the king
<04428>

stood
<05975> (8799)

by the gate
<08179>

side
<03027>_,

and all the people
<05971>

came out
<03318> (8804)

by hundreds
<03967>

and by thousands
<0505>_.

And the king
<04428>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

Joab
<03097>

and Abishai
<052>

and Ittai
<0863>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[Deal] gently
<0328>

for my sake with the young man
<05288>_,

[even] with Absalom
<053>_.

And all the people
<05971>

heard
<08085> (8804)

when the king
<04428>

gave all the captains
<08269>

charge
<06680> (8763)

concerning
<01697>

Absalom
<053>_.

So the people
<05971>

went out
<03318> (8799)

into the field
<07704>

against
<07125> (8800)

Israel
<03478>_:

and the battle
<04421>

was in the wood
<03293>

of Ephraim
<0669>_;

Where the people
<05971>

of Israel
<03478>

were slain
<05062> (8735)

before
<06440>

the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>_,

and there was there a great
<01419>

slaughter
<04046>

that day
<03117>

of twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

[men].

For the battle
<04421>

was there scattered
<06327> (8737)

over the face
<06440>

of all the country
<0776>_:

and the wood
<03293>

devoured
<0398> (8800)

more
<07235> (8686)

people
<05971>

that day
<03117>

than the sword
<02719>

devoured
<0398> (8804)_.

{devoured: Heb. multiplied to devour}

And Absalom
<053>

met
<07122> (8735)

the servants
<06440> <05650>

of David
<01732>_.

And Absalom
<053>

rode
<07392> (8802)

upon a mule
<06505>_,

and the mule
<06505>

went
<0935> (8799)

under the thick boughs
<07730>

of a great
<01419>

oak
<0424>_,

and his head
<07218>

caught hold
<02388> (8799)

of the oak
<0424>_,

and he was taken up
<05414> (8714)

between the heaven
<08064>

and the earth
<0776>_;

and the mule
<06505>

that [was] under him went away
<05674> (8804)_.

And a certain
<0259>

man
<0376>

saw
<07200> (8799)

[it], and told
<05046> (8686)

Joab
<03097>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I saw
<07200> (8804)

Absalom
<053>

hanged
<08518> (8803)

in an oak
<0424>_.

And Joab
<03097>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the man
<0376>

that told
<05046> (8688)

him, And, behold, thou sawest
<07200> (8804)

[him], and why didst thou not smite
<05221> (8689)

him there to the ground
<0776>_?

and I would have given
<05414> (8800)

thee ten
<06235>

[shekels] of silver
<03701>_,

and a
<0259>

girdle
<02290>_.

And the man
<0376>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joab
<03097>_,

Though
<03863>

I should receive
<08254> (8802)

a thousand
<0505>

[shekels] of silver
<03701>

in mine hand
<03709>_,

[yet] would I not put forth
<07971> (8799)

mine hand
<03027>

against the king's
<04428>

son
<01121>_:

for in our hearing
<0241>

the king
<04428>

charged
<06680> (8765)

thee and Abishai
<052>

and Ittai
<0863>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Beware
<08104> (8798)

that none [touch] the young man
<05288>

Absalom
<053>_.

{receive: Heb. weigh upon mine hand} {Beware...: Heb. Beware whosoever ye be of, etc}

Otherwise
<0176>

I should have wrought
<06213> (8804)

falsehood
<08267>

against mine own life
<05315>_:

for there is no matter
<01697>

hid
<03582> (8735)

from the king
<04428>_,

and thou thyself wouldest have set
<03320> (8691)

thyself against [me].

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Joab
<03097>_,

I may not tarry
<03176> (8686)

thus with thee
<06440>_.

And he took
<03947> (8799)

three
<07969>

darts
<07626>

in his hand
<03709>_,

and thrust
<08628> (8799)

them through the heart
<03820>

of Absalom
<053>_,

while he [was] yet alive
<02416>

in the midst of the oak
<0424>_.

{with...: Heb. before thee} {midst: Heb. heart}

And ten
<06235>

young men
<05288>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

Joab's
<03097>

armour
<03627>

compassed about
<05437> (8799)

and smote
<05221> (8686)

Absalom
<053>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him.

And Joab
<03097>

blew
<08628> (8799)

the trumpet
<07782>_,

and the people
<05971>

returned
<07725> (8799)

from pursuing
<07291> (8800)

after
<0310>

Israel
<03478>_:

for Joab
<03097>

held back
<02820> (8804)

the people
<05971>_.

And they took
<03947> (8799)

Absalom
<053>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

him into a great
<01419>

pit
<06354>

in the wood
<03293>_,

and laid
<05324> (8686)

a very
<03966>

great
<01419>

heap
<01530>

of stones
<068>

upon him: and all Israel
<03478>

fled
<05127> (8804)

every one
<0376>

to his tent
<0168>_.

Now Absalom
<053>

in his lifetime
<02416>

had taken
<03947> (8804)

and reared up
<05324> (8686)

for himself a pillar
<04678>_,

which [is] in the king's
<04428>

dale
<06010>_:

for he said
<0559> (8804)_,

I have no son
<01121>

to keep my name
<08034>

in remembrance
<02142> (8687)_:

and he called
<07121> (8799)

the pillar
<04678>

after his own name
<08034>_:

and it is called
<07121> (8735)

unto this day
<03117>_,

Absalom's
<053>

place
<03027>_.
