H1732
And David
H6485 [H8799]
numbered
H5971
the people
H7760 [H8799]
that were with him, and set
H8269
over them captains
H505
of thousands
H8269
and captains
H3967
of hundreds.
2
H1732
And David
H7971 [H8762]
sent forth
H7992
a third part
H5971
of the people
H3027
under the hand
H3097
of Joab,
H7992
and a third part
H3027
under the hand
H52
of Abishai
H1121
the son
H6870
of Zeruiah,
H3097
Joab's
H251
brother,
H7992
and a third part
H3027
under the hand
H863
of Ittai
H1663
the Gittite.
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H5971
to the people,
H3318 [H8800]
I will surely
H3318 [H8799]
go forth
H589
with you myself also.
3
H9001
But
H9009
the
H5971
people
H559 [H8799]
answered,
H3318 0
Thou shalt
H3808
not
H3318 [H8799]
go forth:
H3588
for
H518
if
H5127 [H8799]
we flee
H5127 [H8800]
away,
H7760 0
they will
H3808
not
H7760 [H8799]
set
H3820
their heart
H413
toward
H9035
us;
H9002
and
H518
if
H2677
half
H9025
of us
H4191 [H8799]
die,
H7760 0
they will
H3808
not
H7760 [H8799]
set
H3820
their heart
H413
toward
H9035
us:
H3588
but
H6258
now
H3644
thou art worth
H6235
ten
H505
thousand
H9035
of us:
H9002
therefore
H6258
now
H2896
it is better
H3588
that
H9005
H5826 H5826 [H8800]
thou shouldest help
H9035
us
H9006
out of
H5892
the city.
4
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H5869
to them, What seemeth
H3190 [H8799]
to you best
H6213 [H8799]
I will do.
H4428
And the king
H5975 [H8799]
stood
H8179
by the gate
H3027
side,
H5971
and all the people
H3318 [H8804]
came out
H3967
by hundreds
H505
and by thousands.
5
H4428
And the king
H6680 [H8762]
commanded
H3097
Joab
H52
and Abishai
H863
and Ittai,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H328
Deal gently
H5288
for my sake with the young man,
H53
even with Absalom.
H5971
And all the people
H8085 [H8804]
heard
H4428
when the king
H8269
gave all the captains
H6680 [H8763]
charge
H1697
concerning
H53
Absalom.
6
H5971
So the people
H3318 [H8799]
went out
H7704
into the field
H7125 [H8800]
against
H3478
Israel:
H4421
and the battle
H3293
was in the forest
H669
of Ephraim;
7
H5971
Where the people
H3478
of Israel
H5062 [H8735]
were slain
H6440
at the face of
H5650
the servants
H1732
of David,
H1419
and there was there a great
H4046
slaughter
H3117
that day
H6242
of twenty
H505
thousand men.
8
H4421
For the battle
H6327 [H8737]
was there scattered
H6440
over the face
H776
of all the land:
H3293
and the forest
H398 [H8800]
devoured
H7235 [H8686]
more
H5971
people
H3117
that day
H2719
than the sword
H398 [H8804]
devoured.
9
H53
And Absalom
H7122 [H8735]
met
H6440 H5650
the servants
H1732
of David.
H53
And Absalom
H7392 [H8802]
rode
H6505
upon a mule,
H6505
and the mule
H935 [H8799]
went
H7730
under the thick boughs
H1419
of a great
H424
oak,
H7218
and his head
H2388 [H8799]
caught fast
H424
in the oak,
H5414 [H8714]
and he was left hanging
H8064
between the heaven
H776
and the earth;
H6505
and the mule
H5674 [H8804]
that was under him went away.
10
H259
And a certain
H376
man
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H5046 [H8686]
it, and told
H3097
Joab,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H7200 [H8804]
Behold, I saw
H53
Absalom
H8518 [H8803]
hanging
H424
in an oak.
11
H3097
And Joab
H559 [H8799]
said
H376
to the man
H5046 [H8688]
that told
H7200 [H8804]
him, And, behold, thou sawest
H5221 [H8689]
him, and why didst thou not smite
H776
him there to the earth?
H5414 [H8800]
and I would have given
H6235
thee ten
H3701
shekels of silver,
H259
and a
H2290
belt.
12
H376
And the man
H559 [H8799]
said
H3097
to Joab,
H3863
Though
H8254 [H8802]
I should receive
H505
a thousand
H3701
shekels of silver
H3709
in my palm,
H7971 [H8799]
yet would I not put forth
H3027
my hand
H4428
against the king's
H1121
son:
H241
for in our hearing
H4428
the king
H6680 [H8765]
charged
H52
thee and Abishai
H863
and Ittai,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H8104 [H8798]
Beware
H5288
that none touch the young man
H53
Absalom.
13
H176
Otherwise
H6213 [H8804]
I should have wrought
H8267
falsehood
H5315
against my own life:
H1697
for there is no matter
H3582 [H8735]
hid
H4428
from the king,
H3320 [H8691]
and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.
14
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H3097
Joab,
H3176 [H8686]
I may not tarry
H6440
thus with thee.
H3947 [H8799]
And he took
H7969
three
H7626
spears
H3709
in his palm,
H8628 [H8799]
and thrust
H3820
them through the heart
H53
of Absalom,
H2416
while he was yet alive
H424
in the midst of the oak.
15
H6235
And ten
H5288
young men
H5375 [H8802]
that bore
H3097
Joab's
H3627
armour
H5437 [H8799]
surrounded
H5221 [H8686]
and smote
H53
Absalom,
H4191 [H8686]
and slew him.
16
H3097
And Joab
H8628 [H8799]
blew
H7782
the shofar,
H5971
and the people
H7725 [H8799]
returned
H7291 H310 [H8800]
from pursuing
H3478
Israel:
H3097
for Joab
H2820 [H8804]
restrained
H5971
the people.
17
H3947 [H8799]
And they took
H53
Absalom,
H7993 [H8686]
and cast
H1419
him into a great
H6354
pit
H3293
in the forest,
H5324 [H8686]
and laid
H3966
a very
H1419
great
H1530
heap
H68
of stones
H3478
upon him: and all Israel
H5127 [H8804]
fled
H376
every one
H168
to his tent.
18
H53
Now Absalom
H2416
in his lifetime
H3947 [H8804]
had taken
H5324 [H8686]
and built
H4678
for himself a pillar,
H4428
which is in the king's
H6010
dale:
H559 [H8804]
for he said,
H1121
I have no son
H8034
to keep my name
H2142 [H8687]
in remembrance:
H7121 [H8799]
and he called
H4678
the pillar
H8034
after his own name:
H7121 [H8735]
and it is called
H3117
to this day,
H53
Absalom's
H3027
place.
19
H559 [H8804]
Then said
H290
Ahimaaz
H1121
the son
H6659
of Zadok,
H7323 [H8799]
Let me now run,
H1319 [H8762]
and inform
H4428
the king,
H3068
how the LORD
H8199 [H8804]
hath avenged
H3027 H341 [H8802]
himself of his enemies.
20
H3097
And Joab
H559 [H8799]
said
H376
to him, Thou
H1309
shalt not bear tidings
H3117
this day,
H1319 [H8765]
but thou shalt bear tidings
H312
another
H3117
day:
H3117
but this day
H1319 [H8762]
thou shalt bear no tidings,
H4428
because the king's
H1121
son
H4191 [H8804]
is dead.
21
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H3097
Joab
H3569
to Cushi,
H3212 [H8798]
Go
H5046 [H8685]
tell
H4428
the king
H7200 [H8804]
what thou hast seen.
H3569
And Cushi
H7812 [H8691]
bowed
H3097
himself to Joab,
H7323 [H8799]
and ran.
22
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H290
Ahimaaz
H1121
the son
H6659
of Zadok
H3254 [H8686]
yet again
H3097
to Joab,
H4100
But however,
H7323 [H8799]
let me also, I pray thee, run
H310
after
H3569
Cushi.
H3097
And Joab
H559 [H8799]
said,
H7323 [H8801]
Why wilt thou run,
H1121
my son,
H1309
seeing that thou hast no tidings
H4672 [H8802]
ready?
23
H7323 [H8799]
But however, said he, let me run.
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H7323 [H8798]
to him, Run.
H290
Then Ahimaaz
H7323 [H8799]
ran
H1870
by the way
H3603
of the plain,
H5674 [H8799]
and outran
H3569
Cushi.
24
H1732
And David
H3427 [H8802]
sat
H8147
between the two
H8179
gates:
H6822 [H8802]
and the watchman
H3212 [H8799]
went up
H1406
to the roof
H8179
over the gate
H2346
to the wall,
H5375 [H8799]
and lifted up
H5869
his eyes,
H7200 [H8799]
and looked,
H376
and behold a man
H7323 [H8801]
running alone.
25
H6822 [H8802]
And the watchman
H7121 [H8799]
called,
H5046 [H8686]
and told
H4428
the king.
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said,
H1309
If he is alone, there is tidings
H6310
in his mouth.
H3212 [H8799]
And he came
H1980 [H8800]
apace,
H7131
and drew near.
26
H6822 [H8802]
And the watchman
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H312
another
H376
man
H7323 [H8801]
running:
H6822 [H8802]
and the watchman
H7121 [H8799]
called
H7778
to the porter,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H376
Behold another man
H7323 [H8801]
running
H4428
alone. And the king
H559 [H8799]
said,
H1319 [H8764]
He also bringeth tidings.
27
H6822 [H8802]
And the watchman
H559 [H8799]
said,
H7200 [H8802]
I think
H4794
the running
H7223
of the foremost
H4794
is like the running
H290
of Ahimaaz
H1121
the son
H6659
of Zadok.
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said,
H2896
He is a good
H376
man,
H935 [H8799]
and cometh
H2896
with good
H1309
news.
28
H290
And Ahimaaz
H7121 [H8799]
called,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H4428
to the king,
H7965
All is well.
H7812 [H8691]
And he fell down
H776
to the earth
H639
upon his nose
H4428
before the king,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H1288 [H8803]
Blessed
H3068
be the LORD
H430
thy God,
H5462 [H8765]
who hath delivered up
H582
the men
H5375 [H8804]
that raised
H3027
their hand
H113
against my sovereign
H4428
the king.
29
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said,
H5288
Is the young man
H53
Absalom
H7965
safe?
H290
And Ahimaaz
H559 [H8799]
answered,
H3097
When Joab
H7971 [H8800]
sent
H4428
the king's
H5650
servant,
H5650
and me thy servant,
H7200 [H8804]
I saw
H1419
a great
H1995
tumult,
H3045 [H8804]
but I knew not what it was.
30
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H5437 [H8798]
to him, Turn aside,
H3320 [H8690]
and stand
H3541
here.
H5437 [H8735]
And he turned aside,
H5975 [H8799]
and stood still.
31
H3569
And, behold, Cushi
H935 [H8802]
came;
H3569
and Cushi
H559 [H8799]
said,
H1319 [H8691]
Tidings,
H113
my sovereign
H4428
the king:
H3068
for the LORD
H8199 [H8804]
hath avenged
H3117
thee this day
H3027
of all them
H6965 [H8801]
that rose up against thee.
32
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H3569
to Cushi,
H5288
Is the young man
H53
Absalom
H7965
safe?
H3569
And Cushi
H559 [H8799]
answered,
H341 [H8802]
May the enemies
H113
of my sovereign
H4428
the king,
H6965 [H8804]
and all that rise
H7451
against thee to do thee harm,
H5288
be as that young man is.
33
H4428
And the king
H7264 [H8799]
was much moved,
H5927 [H8799]
and went up
H5944
to the chamber
H8179
over the gate,
H1058 [H8799]
and wept:
H3212 [H8800]
and as he went,
H559 [H8804]
thus he said,
H1121
O my son
H53
Absalom,
H1121
my son,
H1121
my son
H53
Absalom!
H4191 [H8800]
O that I had died
H5414 [H8799]
for thee,
H53
O Absalom,
H1121
my son,
H1121
my son!
