King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
Every purposeH4284 is establishedH3559 by counselH6098: and with good adviceH8458 makeH6213 warH4421.
He that goeth aboutH1980 as a talebearerH7400 revealethH1540 secretsH5475: therefore meddleH6148 not with him that flatterethH6601 with his lipsH8193. {flattereth: or, enticeth}
Moreover AhithophelH302 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, Let me now choose outH977 twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 menH376, and I will ariseH6965 and pursueH7291 afterH310 DavidH1732 this nightH3915:
And I will comeH935 upon him while he is wearyH3023 and weakH7504 handedH3027, and will make him afraidH2729: and all the peopleH5971 that are with him shall fleeH5127; and I will smiteH5221 the kingH4428 only:
And I will bring backH7725 all the peopleH5971 unto thee: the manH376 whom thou seekestH1245 is as if all returnedH7725: so all the peopleH5971 shall be in peaceH7965.
And the sayingH1697 pleasedH3474 AbsalomH53 wellH5869, and all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478. {pleased…: Heb. was right in the eyes of, etc}
Then saidH559 AbsalomH53, CallH7121 now HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757 also, and let us hearH8085 likewise what he saithH6310. {what…: Heb. what is in his mouth}
And when HushaiH2365 was comeH935 to AbsalomH53, AbsalomH53 spakeH559 unto him, sayingH559, AhithophelH302 hath spokenH1696 after this mannerH1697: shall we doH6213 after his sayingH1697? if not; speakH1696 thou. {his saying: Heb. his word}
And HushaiH2365 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, The counselH6098 that AhithophelH302 hath givenH3289 is not goodH2896 at this timeH6471. {given: Heb. counselled}
For, saidH559 HushaiH2365, thou knowestH3045 thy fatherH1 and his menH582, that they be mighty menH1368, and they be chafedH4751 in their mindsH5315, as a bearH1677 robbedH7909 of her whelps in the fieldH7704: and thy fatherH1 is a manH376 of warH4421, and will not lodgeH3885 with the peopleH5971. {chafed…: Heb. bitter of soul}
Behold, he is hidH2244 now in someH259 pitH6354, or in someH259 other placeH4725: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrownH5307 at the firstH8462, that whosoeverH8085 hearethH8085 it will sayH559, There is a slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971 that followH310 AbsalomH53. {overthrown: Heb. fallen}
And he also that is valiantH1121+H2428, whose heartH3820 is as the heartH3820 of a lionH738, shall utterlyH4549 meltH4549: for all IsraelH3478 knowethH3045 that thy fatherH1 is a mighty manH1368, and they which be with him are valiantH2428 menH1121.
Therefore I counselH3289 that all IsraelH3478 be generallyH622 gatheredH622 unto thee, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, as the sandH2344 that is by the seaH3220 for multitudeH7230; and that thou goH1980 to battleH7128 in thine own personH6440. {that thou…: Heb. that thy face, or, presence go, etc}
So shall we comeH935 upon him in someH259 placeH4725 where he shall be foundH4672, and we will lightH5168 upon him as the dewH2919 fallethH5307 on the groundH127: and of him and of all the menH582 that are with him there shall not be leftH3498 so much asH1571 oneH259.
Moreover, ifH518 he be gottenH622 into a cityH5892, then shall all IsraelH3478 bringH5375 ropesH2256 to that cityH5892, and we will drawH5498 it into the riverH5158, until there be not oneH1571 small stoneH6872 foundH4672 there.
And AbsalomH53 and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, The counselH6098 of HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757 is betterH2896 than the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302. For the LORDH3068 had appointedH6680 to defeatH6565 the goodH2896 counselH6098 of AhithophelH302, to the intentH5668 that the LORDH3068 might bringH935 evilH7451 upon AbsalomH53. {appointed: Heb. commanded}
So the peopleH5971 went outH3318 into the fieldH7704 againstH7125 IsraelH3478: and the battleH4421 was in the woodH3293 of EphraimH669;
Where the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 were slainH5062 beforeH6440 the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732, and there was there a greatH1419 slaughterH4046 that dayH3117 of twentyH6242 thousandH505 men.
For the battleH4421 was there scatteredH6327 over the faceH6440 of all the countryH776: and the woodH3293 devouredH398 moreH7235 peopleH5971 that dayH3117 than the swordH2719 devouredH398. {devoured: Heb. multiplied to devour}
And AbsalomH53 metH7122 the servantsH6440+H5650 of DavidH1732. And AbsalomH53 rodeH7392 upon a muleH6505, and the muleH6505 wentH935 under the thick boughsH7730 of a greatH1419 oakH424, and his headH7218 caught holdH2388 of the oakH424, and he was taken upH5414 between the heavenH8064 and the earthH776; and the muleH6505 that was under him went awayH5674.
And a certainH259 manH376 sawH7200 it, and toldH5046 JoabH3097, and saidH559, Behold, I sawH7200 AbsalomH53 hangedH8518 in an oakH424.
And JoabH3097 saidH559 unto the manH376 that toldH5046 him, And, behold, thou sawestH7200 him, and why didst thou not smiteH5221 him there to the groundH776? and I would have givenH5414 thee tenH6235 shekels of silverH3701, and aH259 girdleH2290.
And the manH376 saidH559 unto JoabH3097, ThoughH3863 I should receiveH8254 a thousandH505 shekels of silverH3701 in mine handH3709, yet would I not put forthH7971 mine handH3027 against the king'sH4428 sonH1121: for in our hearingH241 the kingH4428 chargedH6680 thee and AbishaiH52 and IttaiH863, sayingH559, BewareH8104 that none touch the young manH5288 AbsalomH53. {receive: Heb. weigh upon mine hand} {Beware…: Heb. Beware whosoever ye be of, etc}
OtherwiseH176 I should have wroughtH6213 falsehoodH8267 against mine own lifeH5315: for there is no matterH1697 hidH3582 from the kingH4428, and thou thyself wouldest have setH3320 thyself against me.
Then saidH559 JoabH3097, I may not tarryH3176 thus with theeH6440. And he tookH3947 threeH7969 dartsH7626 in his handH3709, and thrustH8628 them through the heartH3820 of AbsalomH53, while he was yet aliveH2416 in the midst of the oakH424. {with…: Heb. before thee} {midst: Heb. heart}
And tenH6235 young menH5288 that bareH5375 Joab'sH3097 armourH3627 compassed aboutH5437 and smoteH5221 AbsalomH53, and slewH4191 him.
OrG2228 whatG5101 kingG935, goingG4198 to makeG4820 warG4171 againstG1519 anotherG2087 kingG935, sittethG2523 notG3780 downG2523 firstG4412, and consultethG1011 whetherG1487 he beG2076 ableG1415 withG1722 tenG1176 thousandG5505 to meetG528 him that comethG2064 againstG1909 himG846 withG3326 twentyG1501 thousandG5505?
Or elseG1490, while the otherG846 isG5607 yetG2089 a great way offG4206, he sendethG649 an ambassageG4242, and desirethG2065 conditionsG4314 of peaceG1515.
FinallyG3063, myG3450 brethrenG80, be strongG1743 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 inG1722 the powerG2904 of hisG846 mightG2479.
Put onG1746 the whole armourG3833 of GodG2316, thatG4314 yeG5209 may be ableG1410 to standG2476 againstG4314 the wilesG3180 of the devilG1228.
ForG3754 weG2254 wrestleG3823 notG3756 againstG2076+G4314 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, butG235 againstG4314 principalitiesG746, againstG4314 powersG1849, againstG4314 the rulersG2888 of the darknessG4655 of thisG5127 worldG165, againstG4314 spiritualG4152 wickednessG4189 inG1722 highG2032 places. {flesh…: Gr. blood and flesh} {spiritual…: or, wicked spirits} {high: or, heavenly}
WhereforeG1223+G5124 take unto youG353 the whole armourG3833 of GodG2316, thatG2443 ye may be ableG1410 to withstandG436 inG1722 the evilG4190 dayG2250, andG2532 having doneG2716 allG537, to standG2476. {having…: or, having overcome all}
StandG2476 thereforeG3767, havingG4024 yourG5216 loinsG3751 girt aboutG4024 withG1722 truthG225, andG2532 having onG1746 the breastplateG2382 of righteousnessG1343;
AndG2532 your feetG4228 shodG5265 withG1722 the preparationG2091 of the gospelG2098 of peaceG1515;
AboveG1909 allG3956, takingG353 the shieldG2375 of faithG4102, wherewithG1722+G3739 ye shall be ableG1410 to quenchG4570 allG3956 the fieryG4448 dartsG956 of the wickedG4190.
AndG2532 takeG1209 the helmetG4030 of salvationG4992, andG2532 the swordG3162 of the SpiritG4151, which isG3603 the wordG4487 of GodG2316:
PrayingG4336 alwaysG1722+G2540+G3956 withG1223 allG3956 prayerG4335 andG2532 supplicationG1162 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, andG2532 watchingG69 thereuntoG1519+G5124+G846 withG1722 allG3956 perseveranceG4343 andG2532 supplicationG1162 forG4012 allG3956 saintsG40;
