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.

Now therefore the swordH2719 shall neverH5704+H5769 departH5493 from thine houseH1004; becauseH6118 thou hast despisedH959 me, and hast takenH3947 the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to be thy wifeH802.
LORDH3068, I have lovedH157 the habitationH4583 of thy houseH1004, and the placeH4725 where thine honourH3519 dwellethH4908. {where…: Heb. of the tabernacle of thy honour}
And they broughtH935 in the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, and setH3322 it in his placeH4725, in the midstH8432 of the tabernacleH168 that DavidH1732 had pitchedH5186 for it: and DavidH1732 offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. {pitched: Heb. stretched}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will raise upH6965 evilH7451 against thee out of thine own houseH1004, and I will takeH3947 thy wivesH802 before thine eyesH5869, and giveH5414 them unto thy neighbourH7453, and he shall lieH7901 with thy wivesH802 in the sightH5869 of this sunH8121.
OneH259 thing have I desiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, that will I seekH1245 after; that I may dwellH3427 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 all the daysH3117 of my lifeH2416, to beholdH2372 the beautyH5278 of the LORDH3068, and to enquireH1239 in his templeH1964. {the beauty: or, the delight}
That the kingH4428 saidH559 unto NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, SeeH7200 now, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarH730, but the arkH727 of GodH430 dwellethH3427 withinH8432 curtainsH3407.
And when the peopleH5971 were comeH935 into the campH4264, the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 smittenH5062 us to dayH3117 beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430? Let us fetchH3947 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 out of ShilohH7887 unto us, that, when it comethH935 amongH7130 us, it may saveH3467 us out of the handH3709 of our enemiesH341. {fetch: Heb. take unto us}
So the peopleH5971 sentH7971 to ShilohH7887, that they might bringH5375 from thence the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which dwellethH3427 between the cherubimsH3742: and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were there with the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430.
And when the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 into the campH4264, all IsraelH3478 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, so that the earthH776 rang againH1949.
And when the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643, they saidH559, What meaneth the noiseH6963 of this greatH1419 shoutH8643 in the campH4264 of the HebrewsH5680? And they understoodH3045 that the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 was comeH935 into the campH4264.
And the PhilistinesH6430 were afraidH3372, for they saidH559, GodH430 is comeH935 into the campH4264. And they saidH559, WoeH188 unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretoforeH865+H8032. {heretofore: Heb. yesterday, or, the third day}
WoeH188 unto us! who shall deliverH5337 us out of the handH3027 of these mightyH117 GodsH430? these are the GodsH430 that smoteH5221 the EgyptiansH4714 with all the plaguesH4347 in the wildernessH4057.
Be strongH2388, and quitH1961 yourselves like menH582, O ye PhilistinesH6430, that ye be not servantsH5647 unto the HebrewsH5680, as they have beenH5647 to you: quitH1961 yourselves like menH582, and fightH3898. {quit…: Heb. be men}
And the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898, and IsraelH3478 was smittenH5062, and they fledH5127 every manH376 into his tentH168: and there was a veryH3966 greatH1419 slaughterH4347; for there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 thirtyH7970 thousandH505 footmenH7273.
And the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947; and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were slainH4191. {were slain: Heb. died}
For in the timeH3117 of troubleH7451 he shall hideH6845 me in his pavilionH5520: in the secretH5643 of his tabernacleH168 shall he hideH5641 me; he shall set me upH7311 upon a rockH6697.
TrustH982 ye not in lyingH8267 wordsH1697, sayingH559, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, are these.

Then will I goH935 unto the altarH4196 of GodH430, unto GodH410 my exceedingH8057 joyH1524: yea, upon the harpH3658 will I praiseH3034 thee, O GodH430 my GodH430. {my exceeding…: Heb. the gladness of my joy}

My soulH5315 longethH3700, yea, even faintethH3615 for the courtsH2691 of the LORDH3068: my heartH3820 and my fleshH1320 crieth outH7442 for the livingH2416 GodH410.

For a dayH3117 in thy courtsH2691 is betterH2896 than a thousandH505. I had ratherH977 be a doorkeeperH5605 in the houseH1004 of my GodH430, than to dwellH1752 in the tentsH168 of wickednessH7562. {I had…: Heb. I would choose rather to sit at the threshold}
