2 Samuel 15:1-37

And it came to pass after this
<0310>_,

that Absalom
<053>

prepared
<06213> (8799)

him chariots
<04818>

and horses
<05483>_,

and fifty
<02572>

men
<0376>

to run
<07323> (8801)

before
<06440>

him.

And Absalom
<053>

rose up early
<07925> (8689)_,

and stood
<05975> (8804)

beside
<03027>

the way
<01870>

of the gate
<08179>_:

and it was [so], that when any man
<0376>

that had a controversy
<07379>

came
<0935> (8800)

to the king
<04428>

for judgment
<04941>_,

then Absalom
<053>

called
<07121> (8799)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Of what
<0335>

city
<05892>

[art] thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy servant
<05650>

[is] of one
<0259>

of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{came: Heb. to come}

And Absalom
<053>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, See
<07200> (8798)_,

thy matters
<01697>

[are] good
<02896>

and right
<05228>_;

but [there is] no man [deputed] of the king
<04428>

to hear
<08085> (8802)

thee. {there...: or, none will hear thee from the king downward}

Absalom
<053>

said
<0559> (8799)

moreover, Oh that I were made
<07760> (8799)

judge
<08199> (8802)

in the land
<0776>_,

that every man
<0376>

which hath any suit
<07379>

or cause
<04941>

might come
<0935> (8799)

unto me, and I would do him justice
<06663> (8689)_!

And it was [so], that when any man
<0376>

came nigh
<07126> (8800)

[to him] to do him obeisance
<07812> (8692)_,

he put forth
<07971> (8804)

his hand
<03027>_,

and took
<02388> (8689)

him, and kissed
<05401> (8804)

him.

And on this manner
<01697>

did
<06213> (8799)

Absalom
<053>

to all Israel
<03478>

that came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

for judgment
<04941>_:

so Absalom
<053>

stole
<01589> (8762)

the hearts
<03820>

of the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>_.

And it came to pass after
<07093>

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_,

that Absalom
<053>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

I pray thee, let me go
<03212> (8799)

and pay
<07999> (8762)

my vow
<05088>_,

which I have vowed
<05087> (8804)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

in Hebron
<02275>_.

For thy servant
<05650>

vowed
<05087> (8804)

a vow
<05088>

while I abode
<03427> (8800)

at Geshur
<01650>

in Syria
<0758>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If the LORD
<03068>

shall bring me again
<07725> (8799) (8676) <07725> (8686)

indeed to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

then I will serve
<05647> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)

in peace
<07965>_.

So he arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Hebron
<02275>_.

But Absalom
<053>

sent
<07971> (8799)

spies
<07270> (8764)

throughout all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

As soon as ye hear
<08085> (8800)

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_,

then ye shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

Absalom
<053>

reigneth
<04427> (8804)

in Hebron
<02275>_.

And with Absalom
<053>

went
<01980> (8804)

two hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

out of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

[that were] called
<07121> (8803)_;

and they went
<01980> (8802)

in their simplicity
<08537>_,

and they knew
<03045> (8804)

not any thing
<01697>_.

And Absalom
<053>

sent
<07971> (8799)

for Ahithophel
<0302>

the Gilonite
<01526>_,

David's
<01732>

counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,

from his city
<05892>_,

[even] from Giloh
<01542>_,

while he offered
<02076> (8800)

sacrifices
<02077>_.

And the conspiracy
<07195>

was strong
<0533>_;

for the people
<05971>

increased
<07227>

continually
<01980> (8802)

with Absalom
<053>_.

And there came
<0935> (8799)

a messenger
<05046> (8688)

to David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The hearts
<03820>

of the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

are after
<0310>

Absalom
<053>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all his servants
<05650>

that [were] with him at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and let us flee
<01272> (8799)_;

for we shall not [else] escape
<06413>

from
<06440>

Absalom
<053>_:

make speed
<04116> (8761)

to depart
<03212> (8800)_,

lest he overtake
<05381> (8689)

us suddenly
<04116> (8762)_,

and bring
<05080> (8689)

evil
<07451>

upon us, and smite
<05221> (8689)

the city
<05892>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_.

{bring: Heb. thrust}

And the king's
<04428>

servants
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Behold, thy servants
<05650>

[are ready to do] whatsoever my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

shall appoint
<0977> (8799)_.

{appoint: Heb. choose}

And the king
<04428>

went forth
<03318> (8799)_,

and all his household
<01004>

after
<07272>

him. And the king
<04428>

left
<05800> (8799)

ten
<06235>

women
<0802>_,

[which were] concubines
<06370>_,

to keep
<08104> (8800)

the house
<01004>_.

{after...: Heb. at his feet}

And the king
<04428>

went forth
<03318> (8799)_,

and all the people
<05971>

after
<07272>

him, and tarried
<05975> (8799)

in a place
<01004>

that was far off
<04801> (8677) <01023>_.

And all his servants
<05650>

passed on
<05674> (8802)

beside
<03027>

him; and all the Cherethites
<03774>_,

and all the Pelethites
<06432>_,

and all the Gittites
<01663>_,

six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

which came
<0935> (8804)

after
<07272>

him from Gath
<01661>_,

passed on
<05674> (8802)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the king
<04428>

to Ittai
<0863>

the Gittite
<01663>_,

Wherefore goest
<03212> (8799)

thou also with us? return
<07725> (8798)

to thy place
<04725>_,

and abide
<03427> (8798)

with the king
<04428>_:

for thou [art] a stranger
<05237>_,

and also an exile
<01540> (8802)_.

Whereas thou camest
<0935> (8800)

[but] yesterday
<08543>_,

should I this day
<03117>

make thee go
<03212> (8800)

up and down
<05128> (8686) (8675) <05128> (8799)

with us? seeing I go
<01980> (8802)

whither I may, return
<07725> (8798)

thou, and take back
<07725> (8685)

thy brethren
<0251>_:

mercy
<02617>

and truth
<0571>

[be] with thee. {go up...: Heb. wander in going}

And Ittai
<0863>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

and [as] my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

liveth
<02416>_,

surely in what place
<04725>

my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

shall be, whether in death
<04194>

or life
<02416>_,

even there also will thy servant
<05650>

be.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Ittai
<0863>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

and pass over
<05674> (8798)_.

And Ittai
<0863>

the Gittite
<01663>

passed over
<05674> (8799)_,

and all his men
<0582>_,

and all the little ones
<02945>

that [were] with him.

And all the country
<0776>

wept
<01058> (8802)

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>_,

and all the people
<05971>

passed over
<05674> (8802)_:

the king
<04428>

also himself passed over
<05674> (8802)

the brook
<05158>

Kidron
<06939>_,

and all the people
<05971>

passed over
<05674> (8802)_,

toward
<06440>

the way
<01870>

of the wilderness
<04057>_.

{Kidron: Gr. Cedron}

And lo Zadok
<06659>

also, and all the Levites
<03881>

[were] with him, bearing
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of God
<0430>_:

and they set down
<03332> (8686)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_;

and Abiathar
<054>

went up
<05927> (8799)_,

until all the people
<05971>

had done
<08552> (8800)

passing
<05674> (8800)

out of the city
<05892>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Zadok
<06659>_,

Carry back
<07725> (8685)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

into the city
<05892>_:

if I shall find
<04672> (8799)

favour
<02580>

in the eyes
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

he will bring me again
<07725> (8689)_,

and shew
<07200> (8689)

me [both] it, and his habitation
<05116>_:

But if he thus say
<0559> (8799)_,

I have no delight
<02654> (8804)

in thee; behold, [here am] I, let him do
<06213> (8799)

to me as seemeth
<05869>

good
<02896>

unto him.

The king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

also unto Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>_,

[Art not] thou a seer
<07200> (8802)_?

return
<07725> (8798)

into the city
<05892>

in peace
<07965>_,

and your two
<08147>

sons
<01121>

with you, Ahimaaz
<0290>

thy son
<01121>_,

and Jonathan
<03083>

the son
<01121>

of Abiathar
<054>_.

See
<07200> (8798)_,

I will tarry
<04102> (8700)

in the plain
<06160> (8675) <05679>

of the wilderness
<04057>_,

until there come
<0935> (8800)

word
<01697>

from you to certify
<05046> (8687)

me.

Zadok
<06659>

therefore and Abiathar
<054>

carried
<07725> (0)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

again
<07725> (8686)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_:

and they tarried
<03427> (8799)

there.

And David
<01732>

went up
<05927> (8802)

by the ascent
<04608>

of [mount] Olivet
<02132>_,

and wept
<01058> (8802)

as he went up
<05927> (8802)_,

and had his head
<07218>

covered
<02645> (8802)_,

and he went
<01980> (8802)

barefoot
<03182>_:

and all the people
<05971>

that [was] with him covered
<02645> (8804)

every man
<0376>

his head
<07218>_,

and they went up
<05927> (8804)_,

weeping
<01058> (8800)

as they went up
<05927> (8800)_.

{and wept...: Heb. going up and weeping}

And [one] told
<05046> (8689)

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ahithophel
<0302>

[is] among the conspirators
<07194> (8802)

with Absalom
<053>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

I pray thee, turn the counsel
<06098>

of Ahithophel
<0302>

into foolishness
<05528> (8761)_.

And it came to pass, that [when] David
<01732>

was come
<0935> (8804)

to the top
<07218>

[of the mount], where he worshipped
<07812> (8691)

God
<0430>_,

behold, Hushai
<02365>

the Archite
<0757>

came to meet
<07125> (8800)

him with his coat
<03801>

rent
<07167> (8803)_,

and earth
<0127>

upon his head
<07218>_:

Unto whom David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

If thou passest on
<05674> (8804)

with me, then thou shalt be a burden
<04853>

unto me:

But if thou return
<07725> (8799)

to the city
<05892>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto Absalom
<053>_,

I will be thy servant
<05650>_,

O king
<04428>_;

[as] I [have been] thy father's
<01>

servant
<05650>

hitherto
<0227>_,

so [will] I now also [be] thy servant
<05650>_:

then mayest thou for me defeat
<06565> (8689)

the counsel
<06098>

of Ahithophel
<0302>_.

And [hast thou] not there with thee Zadok
<06659>

and Abiathar
<054>

the priests
<03548>_?

therefore it shall be, [that] what thing
<01697>

soever thou shalt hear
<08085> (8799)

out of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

thou shalt tell
<05046> (8686)

[it] to Zadok
<06659>

and Abiathar
<054>

the priests
<03548>_.

Behold, [they have] there with them their two
<08147>

sons
<01121>_,

Ahimaaz
<0290>

Zadok's
<06659>

[son], and Jonathan
<03083>

Abiathar's
<054>

[son]; and by them
<03027>

ye shall send
<07971> (8804)

unto me every thing
<01697>

that ye can hear
<08085> (8799)_.

So Hushai
<02365>

David's
<01732>

friend
<07463>

came
<0935> (8799)

into the city
<05892>_,

and Absalom
<053>

came
<0935> (8799)

into Jerusalem
<03389>_.
