And it came to pass after thisH310, that AbsalomH53 preparedH6213 him chariotsH4818 and horsesH5483, and fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 beforeH6440 him.
And AbsalomH53 rose up earlyH7925, and stoodH5975 besideH3027 the wayH1870 of the gateH8179: and it was so, that when any manH376 that had a controversyH7379 cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941, then AbsalomH53 calledH7121 unto him, and saidH559, Of whatH335 cityH5892 art thou? And he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 is of oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478. {came: Heb. to come}
And AbsalomH53 saidH559 unto him, SeeH7200, thy mattersH1697 are goodH2896 and rightH5228; but there is no man deputed of the kingH4428 to hearH8085 thee. {there…: or, none will hear thee from the king downward}
AbsalomH53 saidH559 moreover, Oh that I were madeH7760 judgeH8199 in the landH776, that every manH376 which hath any suitH7379 or causeH4941 might comeH935 unto me, and I would do him justiceH6663!
And it was so, that when any manH376 came nighH7126 to him to do him obeisanceH7812, he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH2388 him, and kissedH5401 him.
And on this mannerH1697 didH6213 AbsalomH53 to all IsraelH3478 that cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941: so AbsalomH53 stoleH1589 the heartsH3820 of the menH582 of IsraelH3478.
And it came to pass afterH7093 fortyH705 yearsH8141, that AbsalomH53 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, I pray thee, let me goH3212 and payH7999 my vowH5088, which I have vowedH5087 unto the LORDH3068, in HebronH2275.
For thy servantH5650 vowedH5087 a vowH5088 while I abodeH3427 at GeshurH1650 in SyriaH758, sayingH559, If the LORDH3068 shall bring me againH7725+H7725 indeed to JerusalemH3389, then I will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, GoH3212 in peaceH7965. So he aroseH6965, and wentH3212 to HebronH2275.
But AbsalomH53 sentH7971 spiesH7270 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, As soon as ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, then ye shall sayH559, AbsalomH53 reignethH4427 in HebronH2275.
And with AbsalomH53 wentH1980 two hundredH3967 menH376 out of JerusalemH3389, that were calledH7121; and they wentH1980 in their simplicityH8537, and they knewH3045 not any thingH1697.
And AbsalomH53 sentH7971 for AhithophelH302 the GiloniteH1526, David'sH1732 counsellorH3289, from his cityH5892, even from GilohH1542, while he offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077. And the conspiracyH7195 was strongH533; for the peopleH5971 increasedH7227 continuallyH1980 with AbsalomH53.
And there cameH935 a messengerH5046 to DavidH1732, sayingH559, The heartsH3820 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 are afterH310 AbsalomH53.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto all his servantsH5650 that were with him at JerusalemH3389, AriseH6965, and let us fleeH1272; for we shall not else escapeH6413 fromH6440 AbsalomH53: make speedH4116 to departH3212, lest he overtakeH5381 us suddenlyH4116, and bringH5080 evilH7451 upon us, and smiteH5221 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. {bring: Heb. thrust}
And the king'sH4428 servantsH5650 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Behold, thy servantsH5650 are ready to do whatsoever my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall appointH977. {appoint: Heb. choose}
And the kingH4428 went forthH3318, and all his householdH1004 afterH7272 him. And the kingH4428 leftH5800 tenH6235 womenH802, which were concubinesH6370, to keepH8104 the houseH1004. {after…: Heb. at his feet}
And the kingH4428 went forthH3318, and all the peopleH5971 afterH7272 him, and tarriedH5975 in a placeH1004 that was far offH4801+H1023.
And all his servantsH5650 passed onH5674 besideH3027 him; and all the CherethitesH3774, and all the PelethitesH6432, and all the GittitesH1663, sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 which cameH935 afterH7272 him from GathH1661, passed onH5674 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663, Wherefore goestH3212 thou also with us? returnH7725 to thy placeH4725, and abideH3427 with the kingH4428: for thou art a strangerH5237, and also an exileH1540.
Whereas thou camestH935 but yesterdayH8543, should I this dayH3117 make thee goH3212 up and downH5128+H5128 with us? seeing I goH1980 whither I may, returnH7725 thou, and take backH7725 thy brethrenH251: mercyH2617 and truthH571 be with thee. {go up…: Heb. wander in going}
And IttaiH863 answeredH6030 the kingH4428, and saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as my lordH113 the kingH4428 livethH2416, surely in what placeH4725 my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall be, whether in deathH4194 or lifeH2416, even there also will thy servantH5650 be.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to IttaiH863, GoH3212 and pass overH5674. And IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663 passed overH5674, and all his menH582, and all the little onesH2945 that were with him.
And all the countryH776 weptH1058 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, and all the peopleH5971 passed overH5674: the kingH4428 also himself passed overH5674 the brookH5158 KidronH6939, and all the peopleH5971 passed overH5674, towardH6440 the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057. {Kidron: Gr. Cedron}
And lo ZadokH6659 also, and all the LevitesH3881 were with him, bearingH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430: and they set downH3332 the arkH727 of GodH430; and AbiatharH54 went upH5927, until all the peopleH5971 had doneH8552 passingH5674 out of the cityH5892.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto ZadokH6659, Carry backH7725 the arkH727 of GodH430 into the cityH5892: if I shall findH4672 favourH2580 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, he will bring me againH7725, and shewH7200 me both it, and his habitationH5116:
But if he thus sayH559, I have no delightH2654 in thee; behold, here am I, let him doH6213 to me as seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto him.
The kingH4428 saidH559 also unto ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, Art not thou a seerH7200? returnH7725 into the cityH5892 in peaceH7965, and your twoH8147 sonsH1121 with you, AhimaazH290 thy sonH1121, and JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54.
SeeH7200, I will tarryH4102 in the plainH6160+H5679 of the wildernessH4057, until there comeH935 wordH1697 from you to certifyH5046 me.
ZadokH6659 therefore and AbiatharH54 carriedH7725 the arkH727 of GodH430 againH7725 to JerusalemH3389: and they tarriedH3427 there.
And DavidH1732 went upH5927 by the ascentH4608 of mount OlivetH2132, and weptH1058 as he went upH5927, and had his headH7218 coveredH2645, and he wentH1980 barefootH3182: and all the peopleH5971 that was with him coveredH2645 every manH376 his headH7218, and they went upH5927, weepingH1058 as they went upH5927. {and wept…: Heb. going up and weeping}
And one toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, AhithophelH302 is among the conspiratorsH7194 with AbsalomH53. And DavidH1732 saidH559, O LORDH3068, I pray thee, turn the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302 into foolishnessH5528.
And it came to pass, that when DavidH1732 was comeH935 to the topH7218 of the mount, where he worshippedH7812 GodH430, behold, HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757 came to meetH7125 him with his coatH3801 rentH7167, and earthH127 upon his headH7218:
Unto whom DavidH1732 saidH559, If thou passest onH5674 with me, then thou shalt be a burdenH4853 unto me:
But if thou returnH7725 to the cityH5892, and sayH559 unto AbsalomH53, I will be thy servantH5650, O kingH4428; as I have been thy father'sH1 servantH5650 hithertoH227, so will I now also be thy servantH5650: then mayest thou for me defeatH6565 the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302.
And hast thou not there with thee ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548? therefore it shall be, that what thingH1697 soever thou shalt hearH8085 out of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, thou shalt tellH5046 it to ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548.
Behold, they have there with them their twoH8147 sonsH1121, AhimaazH290 Zadok'sH6659 son, and JonathanH3083 Abiathar'sH54 son; and by themH3027 ye shall sendH7971 unto me every thingH1697 that ye can hearH8085.
So HushaiH2365 David'sH1732 friendH7463 cameH935 into the cityH5892, and AbsalomH53 cameH935 into JerusalemH3389.

As soon as ye be comeH935 into the cityH5892, ye shall straightwayH3651 findH4672 him, before he go upH5927 to the high placeH1116 to eatH398: for the peopleH5971 will not eatH398 until he comeH935, because he doth blessH1288 the sacrificeH2077; and afterwardsH310+H3651 they eatH398 that be biddenH7121. Now therefore get you upH5927; for about this timeH3117 ye shall findH4672 him. {this time: Heb. to day}
SaidH559 he not unto me, SheH1931 is my sisterH269? and sheH1931, evenH1571 sheH1931 herself saidH559, He is my brotherH251: in the integrityH8537 of my heartH3824 and innocencyH5356 of my handsH3709 have I doneH6213 this. {integrity: or, simplicity, or, sincerity}
And callH7121 JesseH3448 to the sacrificeH2077, and I will shewH3045 thee what thou shalt doH6213: and thou shalt anointH4886 unto me him whom I nameH559 unto thee.
And SamuelH8050 didH6213 that which the LORDH3068 spakeH1696, and cameH935 to BethlehemH1035. And the eldersH2205 of the townH5892 trembledH2729 at his comingH7125, and saidH559, ComestH935 thou peaceablyH7965? {coming: Heb. meeting}
And he saidH559, PeaceablyH7965: I am comeH935 to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and comeH935 with me to the sacrificeH2077. And he sanctifiedH6942 JesseH3448 and his sonsH1121, and calledH7121 them to the sacrificeH2077.
Did I thenH3117 beginH2490 to enquireH7592 of GodH430 for him? be it far from meH2486: let not the kingH4428 imputeH7760 any thingH1697 unto his servantH5650, nor to all the houseH1004 of my fatherH1: for thy servantH5650 knewH3045 nothingH1697 of all this, lessH6996 or moreH1419. {less…: Heb. little or great}
The simpleH6612 believethH539 every wordH1697: but the prudentH6175 man looketh wellH995 to his goingH838.
A prudentH6175 man foreseethH7200 the evilH7451, and hidethH5641+H5641 himself: but the simpleH6612 pass onH5674, and are punishedH6064.
BeholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 youG5209 forthG649 asG5613 sheepG4263 inG1722 the midstG3319 of wolvesG3074: be yeG1096 thereforeG3767 wiseG5429 asG5613 serpentsG3789, andG2532 harmlessG185 asG5613 dovesG4058. {harmless: or, simple}
