2 Samuel 15

WEB_Strongs(i)
  1 H310 It happened after this, H53 that Absalom H6213 prepared H4818 him a chariot H5483 and horses, H2572 and fifty H376 men H7323 to run H6440 before him.
  2 H53 Absalom H7925 rose up early, H5975 and stood H3027 beside H1870 the way H8179 of the gate. H376 It was so, that when any man H7379 had a suit H935 which should come H4428 to the king H4941 for judgment, H53 then Absalom H7121 called H559 to him, and said, H335 "What H5892 city H559 are you from?" He said, H5650 "Your servant H259 is of one H7626 of the tribes H3478 of Israel."
  3 H53 Absalom H559 said H7200 to him, "Behold, H1697 your matters H2896 are good H5228 and right; H4428 but there is no man deputized by the king H8085 to hear you."
  4 H53 Absalom H559 said H7760 moreover, "Oh that I were made H8199 judge H776 in the land, H376 that every man H7379 who has any suit H4941 or cause H935 might come H6663 to me, and I would do him justice!"
  5 H376 It was so, that when any man H7126 came near H7812 to do him obeisance, H7971 he put forth H3027 his hand, H2388 and took H5401 hold of him, and kissed him.
  6 H53 Absalom H6213 did H1697 this sort of thing H3478 to all Israel H935 who came H4428 to the king H4941 for judgment. H53 So Absalom H1589 stole H3820 the hearts H582 of the men H3478 of Israel.
  7 H7093 It happened at the end H705 of forty H8141 years, H53 that Absalom H559 said H4428 to the king, H3212 "Please let me go H7999 and pay H5088 my vow, H5087 which I have vowed H3068 to Yahweh, H2275 in Hebron.
  8 H5650 For your servant H5087 vowed H5088 a vow H3427 while I stayed H1650 at Geshur H758 in Syria, H559 saying, H3068 ‘If Yahweh H7725 shall indeed bring me again H3389 to Jerusalem, H5647 then I will serve H3068 Yahweh.'"
  9 H4428 The king H559 said H3212 to him, "Go H7965 in peace." H6965 So he arose, H3212 and went H2275 to Hebron.
  10 H53 But Absalom H7971 sent H7270 spies H7626 throughout all the tribes H3478 of Israel, H559 saying, H8085 "As soon as you hear H6963 the sound H7782 of the trumpet, H559 then you shall say, H53 ‘Absalom H4427 is king H2275 in Hebron!'"
  11 H3967 Two hundred H376 men H1980 went H53 with Absalom H3389 out of Jerusalem, H7121 who were invited, H1980 and went H8537 in their simplicity; H3045 and they didn't know H1697 anything.
  12 H53 Absalom H7971 sent H302 for Ahithophel H1526 the Gilonite, H1732 David's H3289 counselor, H5892 from his city, H1542 even from Giloh, H2076 while he was offering H2077 the sacrifices. H7195 The conspiracy H533 was strong; H5971 for the people H7227 increased H1980 continually H53 with Absalom.
  13 H5046 A messenger H935 came H1732 to David, H559 saying, H3820 "The hearts H376 of the men H3478 of Israel H310 are after H53 Absalom."
  14 H1732 David H559 said H5650 to all his servants H3389 who were with him at Jerusalem, H6965 "Arise, H1272 and let us flee; H6413 for else none of us shall escape H6440 from H53 Absalom. H4116 Make speed H3212 to depart, H5381 lest he overtake H4116 us quickly, H5080 and bring H7451 down evil H5221 on us, and strike H5892 the city H6310 with the edge H2719 of the sword."
  15 H4428 The king's H5650 servants H559 said H4428 to the king, H5650 "Behold, your servants H113 are ready to do whatever my lord H4428 the king H977 chooses."
  16 H4428 The king H3318 went forth, H1004 and all his household H7272 after H4428 him. The king H5800 left H6235 ten H802 women, H6370 who were concubines, H8104 to keep H1004 the house.
  17 H4428 The king H3318 went forth, H5971 and all the people H7272 after H5975 him; and they stayed H1004 in Beth H4801 Merhak.
  18 H5650 All his servants H5674 passed on 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 who came H7272 after H1661 him from Gath, H5674 passed on H6440 before H4428 the king.
  19 H4428 Then the king H559 said H863 to Ittai H1663 the Gittite, H3212 "Why do you also go H7725 with us? Return, H3427 and stay H4428 with the king; H5237 for you are a foreigner, H1540 and also an exile. H4725 Return to your own place.
  20 H935 Whereas you came H8543 but yesterday, H3117 should I this day H3212 make you go H5128 up and down H1980 with us, since I go H7725 where I may? Return, H7725 and take back H251 your brothers. H2617 Mercy H571 and truth be with you."
  21 H863 Ittai H6030 answered H4428 the king, H6030 and said, H3068 "As Yahweh H2416 lives, H3068 and as my lord H4428 the king H2416 lives, H4725 surely in what place H113 my lord H4428 the king H4194 shall is, whether for death H2416 or for life, H5650 even there also will your servant be."
  22 H1732 David H559 said H863 to Ittai, H3212 "Go H5674 and pass over." H863 Ittai H1663 the Gittite H5674 passed over, H582 and all his men, H2945 and all the little ones who were with him.
  23 H776 All the country H1058 wept H1419 with a loud H6963 voice, H5971 and all the people H5674 passed over: H4428 the king H5674 also himself passed over H5158 the brook H6939 Kidron, H5971 and all the people H5674 passed over, H6440 toward H1870 the way H4057 of the wilderness.
  24 H6659 Behold, Zadok H3881 also came, and all the Levites H5375 with him, bearing H727 the ark H1285 of the covenant H430 of God; H3332 and they set down H727 the ark H430 of God; H54 and Abiathar H5927 went up, H5971 until all the people H8552 finished H5674 passing H5892 out of the city.
  25 H4428 The king H559 said H6659 to Zadok, H7725 "Carry back H727 the ark H430 of God H5892 into the city. H4672 If I find H2580 favor H5869 in the eyes H3068 of Yahweh, H7725 he will bring me again, H7200 and show H5116 me both it, and his habitation;
  26 H559 but if he say H2654 thus, ‘I have no delight H6213 in you;' behold, here am I. Let him do H5869 to me as seems H2896 good to him."
  27 H4428 The king H559 said H6659 also to Zadok H3548 the priest, H7200 "Aren't you a seer? H7725 Return H5892 into the city H7965 in peace, H8147 and your two H1121 sons H290 with you, Ahimaaz H1121 your son, H3083 and Jonathan H1121 the son H54 of Abiathar.
  28 H7200 Behold, H4102 I will stay H6160 at the fords H4057 of the wilderness, H1697 until word H935 comes from you to inform me."
  29 H6659 Zadok H54 therefore and Abiathar H7725 carried H727 the ark H430 of God H7725 again H3389 to Jerusalem; H3427 and they stayed there.
  30 H1732 David H5927 went up H5927 by the ascent H2132 of the Mount of Olives, H1058 and wept H5927 as he went up; H7218 and he had his head H2645 covered, H1980 and went H3182 barefoot: H5971 and all the people H2645 who were with him covered H376 every man H7218 his head, H5927 and they went up, H1058 weeping H5927 as they went up.
  31 H5046 Someone told H1732 David, H559 saying, H302 "Ahithophel H7194 is among the conspirators H53 with Absalom." H1732 David H559 said, H3068 "Yahweh, H6098 please turn the counsel H302 of Ahithophel H5528 into foolishness."
  32 H1732 It happened that when David H935 had come H7218 to the top, H430 where God H7812 was worshiped, H2365 behold, Hushai H757 the Archite H7125 came to meet H3801 him with his coat H7167 torn, H127 and earth H7218 on his head.
  33 H1732 David H559 said H5674 to him, "If you pass on H4853 with me, then you will be a burden to me;
  34 H7725 but if you return H5892 to the city, H559 and tell H53 Absalom, H5650 ‘I will be your servant, H4428 O king. H1 As I have been your father's H5650 servant H227 in time past, H5650 so will I now be your servant; H6565 then will you defeat H6098 for me the counsel H302 of Ahithophel.'
  35 H6659 Don't you have Zadok H54 and Abiathar H3548 the priests H1697 there with you? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing H8085 you shall hear H4428 out of the king's H1004 house, H5046 you shall tell 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 you shall send H1697 to me everything H8085 that you shall hear."
  37 H2365 So Hushai, H1732 David's H7463 friend, H935 came H5892 into the city; H53 and Absalom H935 came H3389 into Jerusalem.
