2 Samuel 18:1-14

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}
