And it came to pass after this,
H53
that Absalom
H6213 [H8799]
prepared
H4818
him chariots
H5483
and horses,
H2572
and fifty
H376
men
H7323 [H8801]
to run
H6440
at the face of him.
2
H53
And Absalom
H7925 [H8689]
rose early,
H5975 [H8804]
and stood
H3027
beside
H1870
the way
H8179
of the gate:
H376
and it was so, that when any man
H7379
that had a controversy
H935 [H8800]
came
H4428
to the king
H4941
for judgment,
H53
then Absalom
H7121 [H8799]
called
H559 [H8799]
to him, and said,
H335
Of what
H5892
city
H559 [H8799]
art thou? And he said,
H5650
Thy servant
H259
is one
H7626
of the tribes
H3478
of Israel.
3
H53
And Absalom
H559 [H8799]
said
H7200 [H8798]
to him, See,
H1697
thy matters
H2896
are good
H5228
and right;
H4428
but there is no man deputed by the king
H8085 [H8802]
to hear thee.
4
H53
Absalom
H559 [H8799]
said
H7760 [H8799]
moreover, O that I were made
H8199 [H8802]
judge
H776
in the land,
H376
that every man
H7379
who hath any suit
H4941
or cause
H935 [H8799]
might come
H6663 [H8689]
to me, and I would do him justice!
5
H376
And it was so, that when any man
H7126 [H8800]
came near
H7812 [H8692]
to him to bow down,
H7971 [H8804]
he put forth
H3027
his hand,
H2388 [H8689]
and took
H5401 [H8804]
him, and kissed him.
6
H1697
And in this manner
H6213 [H8799]
did
H53
Absalom
H3478
to all Israel
H935 [H8799]
that came
H4428
to the king
H4941
for judgment:
H53
so Absalom
H1589 [H8762]
stole
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 [H8799]
said
H4428
to the king,
H3212 [H8799]
I pray thee, let me go
H7999 [H8762]
and pay
H5088
my vow,
H5087 [H8804]
which I have vowed
H3068
to the LORD,
H2275
in Hebron.
8
H5650
For thy servant
H5087 [H8804]
vowed
H5088
a vow
H3427 [H8800]
while I abode
H1650
at Geshur
H758
in Syria,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H3068
If the LORD
H7725 H7725 [H8799]
shall bring me again
H3389
indeed to Jerusalem,
H5647 [H8804]
then I will serve
H3068
the LORD.
9
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H3212 [H8798]
to him, Go
H7965
in peace.
H6965 [H8799]
So he arose,
H3212 [H8799]
and went
H2275
to Hebron.
10
H53
But Absalom
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H7270 [H8764]
spies
H7626
throughout all the tribes
H3478
of Israel,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H8085 [H8800]
As soon as ye hear
H6963
the sound
H7782
of the shofar,
H559 [H8804]
then ye shall say,
H53
Absalom
H4427 [H8804]
reigneth
H2275
in Hebron.
11
H53
And with Absalom
H1980 [H8804]
went
H3967
two hundred
H376
men
H3389
from Jerusalem,
H7121 [H8803]
that were invited;
H1980 [H8802]
and they went
H8537
in their simplicity,
H3045 [H8804]
and they knew
H1697
not any thing.
12
H53
And Absalom
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H302
for Ahithophel
H1526
the Gilonite,
H1732
David's
H3289 [H8802]
counsellor,
H5892
from his city,
H1542
even from Giloh,
H2076 [H8800]
while he offered
H2077
sacrifices.
H7195
And the conspiracy
H533
was strong;
H5971
for the people
H7227
increased
H1980 [H8802]
continually
H53
with Absalom.
13
H935 [H8799]
And there came
H5046 [H8688]
a messenger
H1732
to David,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H3820
The hearts
H376
of the men
H3478
of Israel
H310
are after
H53
Absalom.
14
H1732
And David
H559 [H8799]
said
H5650
to all his servants
H3389
that were with him at Jerusalem,
H6965 [H8798]
Arise,
H1272 [H8799]
and let us flee;
H6413
for we shall not else escape
H6440
from
H53
Absalom:
H4116 [H8761]
make speed
H3212 [H8800]
to depart,
H5381 [H8689]
lest he should overtake
H4116 [H8762]
us suddenly,
H5080 [H8689]
and bring
H7451
evil
H5221 [H8689]
upon us, and smite
H5892
the city
H6310
with the edge
H2719
of the sword.
15
H4428
And the king's
H5650
servants
H559 [H8799]
said
H4428
to the king,
H5650
Behold, thy servants
H113
are ready to do whatever my sovereign
H4428
the king
H977 [H8799]
shall appoint.
16
H4428
And the king
H3318 [H8799]
went forth,
H1004
and all his household
H7272
after
H4428
him. And the king
H5800 [H8799]
left
H6235
ten
H802
women,
H6370
who were concubines,
H8104 [H8800]
to keep
H1004
the house.
17
H4428
And the king
H3318 [H8799]
went forth,
H5971
and all the people
H7272
after
H5975 [H8799]
him, and tarried
H1004
in a place
H4801 H1023 [H8677]
that was far off.
18
H5650
And all his servants
H5674 [H8802]
passed on
H3027
by
H3774
his side; and all the Cherethites,
H6432
and all the Pelethites,
H1663
and all the Gittites,
H8337
six
H3967
hundred
H376
men
H935 [H8804]
who came
H7272
after
H1661
him from Gath,
H5674 [H8802]
passed on
H6440
at the face of
H4428
the king.
19
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H4428
the king
H863
to Ittai
H1663
the Gittite,
H3212 [H8799]
Why goest
H7725 [H8798]
thou also with us? return
H4725
to thy place,
H3427 [H8798]
and abide
H4428
with the king:
H5237
for thou art a foreigner,
H1540 [H8802]
and also an exile.
20
H935 [H8800]
Though thou camest
H8543
but yesterday,
H3117
should I this day
H3212 [H8800]
make thee go
H5128 H5128 [H8686]
up and down
H1980 [H8802]
with us? seeing I go
H7725 [H8798]
wherever I may, return
H7725 [H8685]
thou, and take back
H251
thy brethren:
H2617
mercy
H571
and truth be with thee.
21
H863
And Ittai
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H4428
the king,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H3068
As the LORD
H2416
liveth,
H113
and as my sovereign
H4428
the king
H2416
liveth,
H4725
surely in what place
H113
my sovereign
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 [H8799]
said
H863
to Ittai,
H3212 [H8798]
Go
H5674 [H8798]
and pass over.
H863
And Ittai
H1663
the Gittite
H5674 [H8799]
passed over,
H582
and all his men,
H2945
and all the little ones that were with him.
23
H776
And all the land
H1058 [H8802]
wept
H1419
with a loud
H6963
voice,
H5971
and all the people
H5674 [H8802]
passed over:
H4428
the king
H5674 [H8802]
also himself passed over
H5158
the brook
H6939
Kidron,
H5971
and all the people
H5674 [H8802]
passed over,
H6440
toward
H1870
the way
H4057
of the wilderness.
24
H6659
And lo Zadok
H3881
also, and all the Levites
H5375 [H8802]
were with him, bearing
H727
the ark
H1285
of the covenant
H430
of God:
H3332 [H8686]
and they set down
H727
the ark
H430
of God;
H54
and Abiathar
H5927 [H8799]
went up,
H5971
until all the people
H8552 H5674 [H8800]
had passed
H5892
out of the city.
25
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H6659
to Zadok,
H7725 [H8685]
Carry back
H727
the ark
H430
of God
H5892
into the city:
H4672 [H8799]
if I shall find
H2580
favour
H5869
in the eyes
H3068
of the LORD,
H7725 [H8689]
he will bring me again,
H7200 [H8689]
and show
H5116
me both it, and his habitation:
26
H559 [H8799]
But if he shall thus say,
H2654 [H8804]
I have no delight
H6213 [H8799]
in thee; behold, here am I, let him do
H5869
to me as seemeth
H2896
good to him.
27
H4428
The king
H559 [H8799]
said
H6659
also to Zadok
H3548
the priest,
H7200 [H8802]
Art not thou a seer?
H7725 [H8798]
return
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 [H8798]
See,
H4102 [H8700]
I will tarry
H6160 H5679 [H8675]
in the plain
H4057
of the wilderness,
H1697
until word
H935 [H8800]
shall come
H5046 [H8687]
from you to inform me.
29
H6659
Zadok
H54
therefore and Abiathar
H7725 0
carried
H727
the ark
H430
of God
H7725 [H8686]
again
H3389
to Jerusalem:
H3427 [H8799]
and they tarried there.
30
H1732
And David
H5927 [H8802]
went up
H4608
by the ascent
H2132
of mount Olivet,
H1058 [H8802]
and wept
H5927 [H8802]
as he went,
H7218
and had his head
H2645 [H8802]
covered,
H1980 [H8802]
and he went
H3182
barefoot:
H5971
and all the people
H2645 [H8804]
that were with him covered
H376
every man
H7218
his head,
H5927 [H8804]
and they went up,
H1058 [H8800]
weeping
H5927 [H8800]
as they went.
31
H5046 [H8689]
And one told
H1732
David,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H302
Ahithophel
H7194 [H8802]
is among the conspirators
H53
with Absalom.
H1732
And David
H559 [H8799]
said,
H3068
O LORD,
H6098
I pray thee, turn the counsel
H302
of Ahithophel
H5528 [H8761]
into foolishness.
32
H1732
And it came to pass, that when David
H935 [H8804]
had come
H7218
to the top
H7812 [H8691]
of the mount, where he worshipped
H430
God,
H2365
behold, Hushai
H757
the Archite
H7125 [H8800]
came to meet
H3801
him with his coat
H7167 [H8803]
torn,
H127
and soil
H7218
upon his head:
33
H1732
To whom David
H559 [H8799]
said,
H5674 [H8804]
If thou shalt pass on
H4853
with me, then thou shalt be a burden to me:
34
H7725 [H8799]
But if thou shalt return
H5892
to the city,
H559 [H8804]
and say
H53
to Absalom,
H5650
I will be thy servant,
H4428
O king;
H1
as I have been thy father's
H5650
servant
H227
to this time,
H5650
so will I now also be thy servant:
H6565 [H8689]
then mayest thou for me defeat
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 whatever thing
H8085 [H8799]
thou shalt hear
H4428
out of the king's
H1004
house,
H5046 [H8686]
thou shalt tell
H6659
it to Zadok
H54
and Abiathar
H3548
the priests.
