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.
