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.
