H302
Moreover Ahithophel
H559 [H8799]
said
H53
to Absalom,
H977 [H8799]
Let me now choose out
H8147 H6240
twelve
H505
thousand
H376
men,
H6965 [H8799]
and I will arise
H7291 [H8799]
and pursue
H310
after
H1732
David
H3915
this night:
2
H935 [H8799]
And I will come
H3023
upon him while he is weary
H7504
and weak
H3027
handed,
H2729 [H8689]
and will make him afraid:
H5971
and all the people
H5127 [H8804]
that are with him shall flee;
H5221 [H8689]
and I will smite
H4428
the king only:
3
H7725 [H8686]
And I will bring back
H5971
all the people
H376
to thee: the man
H1245 [H8764]
whom thou seekest
H7725 [H8800]
is as if all returned:
H5971
so all the people
H7965
shall be in peace.
4
H1697
And the saying
H3474 [H8799]
pleased
H53
Absalom
H5869
well,
H2205
and all the elders
H3478
of Israel.
5
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H53
Absalom,
H7121 [H8798]
Call
H2365
now Hushai
H757
the Archite
H8085 [H8799]
also, and let us hear
H6310
likewise what he saith.
6
H2365
And when Hushai
H935 [H8799]
had come
H53
to Absalom,
H53
Absalom
H559 [H8799]
spoke
H559 [H8800]
to him, saying,
H302
Ahithophel
H1696 [H8765]
hath spoken
H1697
after this manner:
H6213 [H8799]
shall we do
H1697
after his saying?
H1696 [H8761]
if not; speak thou.
7
H2365
And Hushai
H559 [H8799]
said
H53
to Absalom,
H6098
The counsel
H302
that Ahithophel
H3289 [H8804]
hath given
H2896
is not good
H6471
at this time.
8
H559 [H8799]
For, said
H2365
Hushai,
H3045 [H8804]
thou knowest
H1
thy father
H582
and his men,
H1368
that they are mighty men,
H4751
and they are bitter
H5315
in their minds,
H1677
as a bear
H7909
robbed
H7704
of her whelps in the field:
H1
and thy father
H376
is a man
H4421
of war,
H3885 [H8799]
and will not lodge
H5971
with the people.
9
H2244 [H8737]
Behold, he is hid
H259
now in some
H6354
pit,
H259
or in some
H4725
other place:
H5307 [H8800]
and it will come to pass, when some of them are overthrown
H8462
at the first,
H8085 [H8802]
that whoever
H8085 [H8804]
heareth
H559 [H8804]
it will say,
H4046
There is a slaughter
H5971
among the people
H310
that follow
H53
Absalom.
10
H1121 H2428
And he also that is valiant,
H3820
whose heart
H3820
is as the heart
H738
of a lion,
H4549 [H8736]
shall utterly
H4549 [H8735]
melt:
H3478
for all Israel
H3045 [H8802]
knoweth
H1
that thy father
H1368
is a mighty man,
H2428
and they who are with him are valiant
H1121
men.
11
H3289 [H8804]
Therefore I counsel
H3478
that all Israel
H622 [H8736]
should be generally
H622 [H8735]
gathered
H1835
to thee, from Dan
H884
even to Beersheba,
H2344
as the sand
H3220
that is by the sea
H7230
for abundance;
H1980 [H8802]
and that thou shouldest go
H7128
to battle
H6440
in thy own person.
12
H935 [H8804]
So shall we come
H259
upon him in some
H4725
place
H4672 [H8738]
where he shall be found,
H5168
and we will light
H2919
upon him as the dew
H5307 [H8799]
falleth
H127
on the soil:
H582
and of him and of all the men
H3498 [H8738]
that are with him there shall not be left
H1571
so much as
H259
one.
13
H518
Moreover, if
H622 [H8735]
he shall have entered
H5892
into a city,
H3478
then shall all Israel
H5375 [H8689]
bring
H2256
ropes
H5892
to that city,
H5498 [H8804]
and we will draw
H5158
it into the river,
H1571
until there is not one
H6872
small stone
H4672 [H8738]
found there.
14
H53
And Absalom
H376
and all the men
H3478
of Israel
H559 [H8799]
said,
H6098
The counsel
H2365
of Hushai
H757
the Archite
H2896
is better
H6098
than the counsel
H302
of Ahithophel.
H3068
For the LORD
H6680 [H8765]
had appointed
H6565 [H8687]
to defeat
H2896
the good
H6098
counsel
H302
of Ahithophel,
H5668
to the intent
H3068
that the LORD
H935 [H8687]
might bring
H7451
evil
H53
upon Absalom.
15
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H2365
Hushai
H6659
to Zadok
H54
and to Abiathar
H3548
the priests,
H302
Thus and thus did Ahithophel
H3289 [H8804]
counsel
H53
Absalom
H2205
and the elders
H3478
of Israel;
H3289 [H8804]
and thus and thus have I counselled.
16
H7971 [H8798]
Now therefore send
H4120
quickly,
H5046 [H8685]
and tell
H1732
David,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H3885 [H8799]
Lodge
H3915
not this night
H6160 H5679 [H8675]
in the plains
H4057
of the wilderness,
H5674 [H8800]
but speedily
H5674 [H8799]
pass over;
H4428
lest the king
H1104 [H8792]
be swallowed up,
H5971
and all the people that are with him.
17
H3083
Now Jonathan
H290
and Ahimaaz
H5975 [H8802]
stayed
H5883
by Enrogel;
H3201 [H8799]
for they might
H7200 [H8736]
not be seen
H935 [H8800]
to come
H5892
into the city:
H8198
and a maidservant
H1980 [H8804]
went
H5046 [H8689]
and told
H3212 [H8799]
them; and they went
H5046 [H8689]
and told
H4428
king
H1732
David.
18
H5288
Nevertheless a lad
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H5046 [H8686]
them, and told
H53
Absalom:
H3212 [H8799]
but they went
H8147
both
H4120
of them away quickly,
H935 [H8799]
and came
H1004
to the house
H376
of a man
H980
in Bahurim,
H875
who had a well
H2691
in his court;
H8033
into which
H3381 [H8799]
they descended.
19
H802
And the woman
H3947 [H8799]
took
H6566 [H8799]
and spread
H4539
a covering
H875
over the well's
H6440
mouth,
H7849 [H8799]
and spread
H7383
ground grain
H1697
on it; and the thing
H3045 [H8738]
was not known.
20
H53
And when Absalom's
H5650
servants
H935 [H8799]
came
H802
to the woman
H1004
to the house,
H559 [H8799]
they said,
H290
Where is Ahimaaz
H3083
and Jonathan?
H802
And the woman
H559 [H8799]
said
H5674 [H8804]
to them, They have gone over
H4323
the brook
H4325
of water.
H1245 [H8762]
And when they had sought
H4672 [H8804]
and could not find
H7725 [H8799]
them, they returned
H3389
to Jerusalem.
21
H310
And it came to pass, after
H3212 [H8800]
they had departed,
H5927 [H8799]
that they came
H875
out of the well,
H3212 [H8799]
and went
H5046 [H8686]
and told
H4428
king
H1732
David,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H1732
to David,
H6965 [H8798]
Arise,
H4120
and pass quickly
H5674 [H8798]
over
H4325
the water:
H302
for thus hath Ahithophel
H3289 [H8804]
counselled against you.
22
H1732
Then David
H6965 [H8799]
arose,
H5971
and all the people
H5674 [H8799]
that were with him, and they passed over
H3383
Jordan:
H1242
by the morning
H216
light
H5737 [H8738]
there was left
H259
not one
H5674 [H8804]
of them that had not gone over
H3383
Jordan.
23
H302
And when Ahithophel
H7200 [H8804]
saw
H6098
that his counsel
H6213 [H8738]
was not followed,
H2280 [H8799]
he saddled
H2543
his donkey,
H6965 [H8799]
and arose,
H3212 [H8799]
and went home
H1004
to his house,
H5892
to his city,
H1004
and put his household
H6680 [H8762]
in order,
H2614 [H8735]
and hanged
H4191 [H8799]
himself, and died,
H6912 [H8735]
and was buried
H6913
in the burying-place
H1
of his father.
24
H1732
Then David
H935 [H8804]
came
H4266
to Mahanaim.
H53
And Absalom
H5674 [H8804]
passed over
H3383
Jordan,
H376
he and all the men
H3478
of Israel with him.
25
H53
And Absalom
H7760 [H8804]
made
H6021
Amasa
H6635
captain of the host
H3097
instead of Joab:
H6021
which Amasa
H376
was a man's
H1121
son,
H8034
whose name
H3501
was Ithra
H3481
an Israelite,
H935 [H8804]
that went in
H26
to Abigail
H1323
the daughter
H5176
of Nahash,
H269
sister
H6870
to Zeruiah
H3097
Joab's
H517
mother.
27
H1732
And it came to pass, when David
H935 [H8800]
had come
H4266
to Mahanaim,
H7629
that Shobi
H1121
the son
H5176
of Nahash
H7237
of Rabbah
H1121
of the sons
H5983
of Ammon,
H4353
and Machir
H1121
the son
H5988
of Ammiel
H3810
of Lodebar,
H1271
and Barzillai
H1569
the Gileadite
H7274
of Rogelim,
