2 Samuel 15

KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H310 And it came to pass after this H53 , that Absalom H6213 prepared [H8799]   H4818 him chariots H5483 and horses H2572 , and fifty H376 men H7323 to run [H8801]   H6440 before him.
  2 H53 And Absalom H7925 rose up early [H8689]   H5975 , and stood [H8804]   H3027 beside H1870 the way H8179 of the gate H376 : and it was so, that when any man H7379 that had a controversy H935 came [H8800]   H4428 to the king H4941 for judgment H53 , then Absalom H7121 called [H8799]   H559 unto him, and said [H8799]   H335 , Of what H5892 city H559 art thou? And he said [H8799]   H5650 , Thy servant H259 is of one H7626 of the tribes H3478 of Israel.
  3 H53 And Absalom H559 said [H8799]   H7200 unto him, See [H8798]   H1697 , thy matters H2896 are good H5228 and right H4428 ; but there is no man deputed of the king H8085 to hear [H8802]   thee.
  4 H53 Absalom H559 said [H8799]   H7760 moreover, Oh that I were made [H8799]   H8199 judge [H8802]   H776 in the land H376 , that every man H7379 which hath any suit H4941 or cause H935 might come [H8799]   H6663 unto me, and I would do him justice [H8689]  !
  5 H376 And it was so, that when any man H7126 came nigh [H8800]   H7812 to him to do him obeisance [H8692]   H7971 , he put forth [H8804]   H3027 his hand H2388 , and took [H8689]   H5401 him, and kissed [H8804]   him.
  6 H1697 And on this manner H6213 did [H8799]   H53 Absalom H3478 to all Israel H935 that came [H8799]   H4428 to the king H4941 for judgment H53 : so Absalom H1589 stole [H8762]   H3820 the hearts H582 of the men H3478 of Israel.
  7 H7093 And it came to pass after H705 forty H8141 years H53 , that Absalom H559 said [H8799]   H4428 unto the king H3212 , I pray thee, let me go [H8799]   H7999 and pay [H8762]   H5088 my vow H5087 , which I have vowed [H8804]   H3068 unto the LORD H2275 , in Hebron.
  8 H5650 For thy servant H5087 vowed [H8804]   H5088 a vow H3427 while I abode [H8800]   H1650 at Geshur H758 in Syria H559 , saying [H8800]   H3068 , If the LORD H7725 shall bring me again [H8799]   [H8676]   H7725   [H8686]   H3389 indeed to Jerusalem H5647 , then I will serve [H8804]   H3068 the LORD.
  9 H4428 And the king H559 said [H8799]   H3212 unto him, Go [H8798]   H7965 in peace H6965 . So he arose [H8799]   H3212 , and went [H8799]   H2275 to Hebron.
  10 H53 But Absalom H7971 sent [H8799]   H7270 spies [H8764]   H7626 throughout all the tribes H3478 of Israel H559 , saying [H8800]   H8085 , As soon as ye hear [H8800]   H6963 the sound H7782 of the trumpet H559 , then ye shall say [H8804]   H53 , Absalom H4427 reigneth [H8804]   H2275 in Hebron.
  11 H53 And with Absalom H1980 went [H8804]   H3967 two hundred H376 men H3389 out of Jerusalem H7121 , that were called [H8803]   H1980 ; and they went [H8802]   H8537 in their simplicity H3045 , and they knew [H8804]   H1697 not any thing.
  12 H53 And Absalom H7971 sent [H8799]   H302 for Ahithophel H1526 the Gilonite H1732 , David's H3289 counsellor [H8802]   H5892 , from his city H1542 , even from Giloh H2076 , while he offered [H8800]   H2077 sacrifices H7195 . And the conspiracy H533 was strong H5971 ; for the people H7227 increased H1980 continually [H8802]   H53 with Absalom.
  13 H935 And there came [H8799]   H5046 a messenger [H8688]   H1732 to David H559 , saying [H8800]   H3820 , The hearts H376 of the men H3478 of Israel H310 are after H53 Absalom.
  14 H1732 And David H559 said [H8799]   H5650 unto all his servants H3389 that were with him at Jerusalem H6965 , Arise [H8798]   H1272 , and let us flee [H8799]   H6413 ; for we shall not else escape H6440 from H53 Absalom H4116 : make speed [H8761]   H3212 to depart [H8800]   H5381 , lest he overtake [H8689]   H4116 us suddenly [H8762]   H5080 , and bring [H8689]   H7451 evil H5221 upon us, and smite [H8689]   H5892 the city H6310 with the edge H2719 of the sword.
  15 H4428 And the king's H5650 servants H559 said [H8799]   H4428 unto the king H5650 , Behold, thy servants H113 are ready to do whatsoever my lord H4428 the king H977 shall appoint [H8799]  .
  16 H4428 And the king H3318 went forth [H8799]   H1004 , and all his household H7272 after H4428 him. And the king H5800 left [H8799]   H6235 ten H802 women H6370 , which were concubines H8104 , to keep [H8800]   H1004 the house.
  17 H4428 And the king H3318 went forth [H8799]   H5971 , and all the people H7272 after H5975 him, and tarried [H8799]   H1004 in a place H4801 that was far off [H8677]   H1023  .
  18 H5650 And all his servants H5674 passed on [H8802]   H3027 beside H3774 him; and all the Cherethites H6432 , and all the Pelethites H1663 , and all the Gittites H8337 , six H3967 hundred H376 men H935 which came [H8804]   H7272 after H1661 him from Gath H5674 , passed on [H8802]   H6440 before H4428 the king.
  19 H559 Then said [H8799]   H4428 the king H863 to Ittai H1663 the Gittite H3212 , Wherefore goest [H8799]   H7725 thou also with us? return [H8798]   H4725 to thy place H3427 , and abide [H8798]   H4428 with the king H5237 : for thou art a stranger H1540 , and also an exile [H8802]  .
  20 H935 Whereas thou camest [H8800]   H8543 but yesterday H3117 , should I this day H3212 make thee go [H8800]   H5128 up and down [H8686]   [H8675]   H5128   [H8799]   H1980 with us? seeing I go [H8802]   H7725 whither I may, return [H8798]   H7725 thou, and take back [H8685]   H251 thy brethren H2617 : mercy H571 and truth be with thee.
  21 H863 And Ittai H6030 answered [H8799]   H4428 the king H559 , and said [H8799]   H3068 , As the LORD H2416 liveth H113 , and as my lord H4428 the king H2416 liveth H4725 , surely in what place H113 my lord H4428 the king H4194 shall be, whether in death H2416 or life H5650 , even there also will thy servant be.
  22 H1732 And David H559 said [H8799]   H863 to Ittai H3212 , Go [H8798]   H5674 and pass over [H8798]   H863 . And Ittai H1663 the Gittite H5674 passed over [H8799]   H582 , and all his men H2945 , and all the little ones that were with him.
  23 H776 And all the country H1058 wept [H8802]   H1419 with a loud H6963 voice H5971 , and all the people H5674 passed over [H8802]   H4428 : the king H5674 also himself passed over [H8802]   H5158 the brook H6939 Kidron H5971 , and all the people H5674 passed over [H8802]   H6440 , toward H1870 the way H4057 of the wilderness.
  24 H6659 And lo Zadok H3881 also, and all the Levites H5375 were with him, bearing [H8802]   H727 the ark H1285 of the covenant H430 of God H3332 : and they set down [H8686]   H727 the ark H430 of God H54 ; and Abiathar H5927 went up [H8799]   H5971 , until all the people H8552 had done [H8800]   H5674 passing [H8800]   H5892 out of the city.
  25 H4428 And the king H559 said [H8799]   H6659 unto Zadok H7725 , Carry back [H8685]   H727 the ark H430 of God H5892 into the city H4672 : if I shall find [H8799]   H2580 favour H5869 in the eyes H3068 of the LORD H7725 , he will bring me again [H8689]   H7200 , and shew [H8689]   H5116 me both it, and his habitation:
  26 H559 But if he thus say [H8799]   H2654 , I have no delight [H8804]   H6213 in thee; behold, here am I, let him do [H8799]   H5869 to me as seemeth H2896 good unto him.
  27 H4428 The king H559 said [H8799]   H6659 also unto Zadok H3548 the priest H7200 , Art not thou a seer [H8802]   H7725 ? return [H8798]   H5892 into the city H7965 in peace H8147 , and your two H1121 sons H290 with you, Ahimaaz H1121 thy son H3083 , and Jonathan H1121 the son H54 of Abiathar.
  28 H7200 See [H8798]   H4102 , I will tarry [H8700]   H6160 in the plain [H8675]   H5679   H4057 of the wilderness H935 , until there come [H8800]   H1697 word H5046 from you to certify [H8687]   me.
  29 H6659 Zadok H54 therefore and Abiathar H7725 carried H727 the ark H430 of God H7725 again [H8686]   H3389 to Jerusalem H3427 : and they tarried [H8799]   there.
  30 H1732 And David H5927 went up [H8802]   H4608 by the ascent H2132 of mount Olivet H1058 , and wept [H8802]   H5927 as he went up [H8802]   H7218 , and had his head H2645 covered [H8802]   H1980 , and he went [H8802]   H3182 barefoot H5971 : and all the people H2645 that was with him covered [H8804]   H376 every man H7218 his head H5927 , and they went up [H8804]   H1058 , weeping [H8800]   H5927 as they went up [H8800]  .
  31 H5046 And one told [H8689]   H1732 David H559 , saying [H8800]   H302 , Ahithophel H7194 is among the conspirators [H8802]   H53 with Absalom H1732 . And David H559 said [H8799]   H3068 , O LORD H6098 , I pray thee, turn the counsel H302 of Ahithophel H5528 into foolishness [H8761]  .
  32 H1732 And it came to pass, that when David H935 was come [H8804]   H7218 to the top H7812 of the mount, where he worshipped [H8691]   H430 God H2365 , behold, Hushai H757 the Archite H7125 came to meet [H8800]   H3801 him with his coat H7167 rent [H8803]   H127 , and earth H7218 upon his head:
  33 H1732 Unto whom David H559 said [H8799]   H5674 , If thou passest on [H8804]   H4853 with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me:
  34 H7725 But if thou return [H8799]   H5892 to the city H559 , and say [H8804]   H53 unto Absalom H5650 , I will be thy servant H4428 , O king H1 ; as I have been thy father's H5650 servant H227 hitherto H5650 , so will I now also be thy servant H6565 : then mayest thou for me defeat [H8689]   H6098 the counsel H302 of Ahithophel.
  35 H6659 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok H54 and Abiathar H3548 the priests H1697 ? therefore it shall be, that what thing H8085 soever thou shalt hear [H8799]   H4428 out of the king's H1004 house H5046 , thou shalt tell [H8686]   H6659 it to Zadok H54 and Abiathar H3548 the priests.
  36 H8147 Behold, they have there with them their two H1121 sons H290 , Ahimaaz H6659 Zadok's H3083 son, and Jonathan H54 Abiathar's H3027 son; and by them H7971 ye shall send [H8804]   H1697 unto me every thing H8085 that ye can hear [H8799]  .
  37 H2365 So Hushai H1732 David's H7463 friend H935 came [H8799]   H5892 into the city H53 , and Absalom H935 came [H8799]   H3389 into Jerusalem.
