1: And it came to passH1961 afterH0310 this,H3651 that providedH6213 AbsalomH0053 with chariotsH4818 and horses,H5483 and fiftyH2572 menH0376 to runH7323 before him.H6440
2: And would rise early,H7925 AbsalomH0053 and standH5975 uponH5921 besideH3027 the way toH1870 the gate-H8179 so whenever it wasH1961 anyH3605 manH0376 whoH0834 hadH1961 a lawsuitH7379 cameH0935 toH0413 the kingH4428 for a decision,H4941 that would callH7121 AbsalomH0053 to himH0413 and say,H0559 from whereH0335 thisH2088 cityH5892 [are] you?H0859 and he would say,H0559 from oneH0259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 Your servant [is].H5650
3: And would sayH0559 to himH0413 AbsalomH0053 Look,H7200 your case [is]H1697 goodH2896 and right-H5228 but to hearH8085 [there is] no deputyH0369 ofH0853 the king.H4428
4: Moreover would sayH0559 AbsalomH0053 whoH4310 will make meH7760 judgeH8199 in the land,H0776 and to meH5921 would comeH0935 everyH3605 everyoneH0376 whoH0834 hasH1961 any suitH7379 or causeH4941 then I would give him justice!H6663
5: and [so] it wasH1961 whenever came nearH7126 anyoneH0376 to bow down,H7812 that he would put outH7971 -H0853 his hand,H3027 and takeH2388 and kissH5401
6: And actedH6213 AbsalomH0053 in mannerH1697 thisH2088 toward allH3605 IsraelH3478 whoH0834 cameH0935 for judgment-H4941 toH0413 the kingH4428 so stoleH1589 AbsalomH0053 -H0853 the heartsH3820 of the menH0376 of Israel.H3478
7: And it came to passH1961 afterH7093 fortyH0705 years,H8141 that saidH0559 AbsalomH0053 toH0413 the king,H4428 let me goH1980 please,H4994 and payH7999 -H0853 the vow,H5088 whichH0834 I madeH5087 to Yahweh,H3068 to Hebron.H2275
8: ForH3588 a vowH5088 tookH5087 your servantH5650 while I dweltH3427 at GeshurH1650 in Syria,H0758 saying,H0559 ifH0518 indeedH7725 brings me backH7725 YahwehH3068 to Jerusalem,H3389 then I will serveH5647 -H0853 Yahweh.H3068
9: And saidH0559 the kingH4428 goH1980 in peace.H7965 So he arose,H6965 and wentH1980 to Hebron.H2275
10: And sentH7971 AbsalomH0053 spiesH7270 throughout allH3605 the tribesH7626 of Israel,H3478 saying,H0559 as soon as you hearH8085 -H0853 the soundH6963 of the trumpet,H7782 then you shall say,H0559 reignsH4427 AbsalomH0053 in Hebron.H2275
11: And withH0854 AbsalomH0053 wentH1980 two hundredH3967 menH0376 from JerusalemH3389 invited-H7121 and they went alongH1980 innocently,H8537 and notH3808 did knowH3045 anyH3605 thing.H1697
12: And sentH7971 AbsalomH0053 forH0853 AhithophelH0302 the Gilonite,H1526 counselor,H3289 of DavidH1732 from his city,H5892 from GilohH1542 while he offeredH2076 -H0853 sacrifices.H2077 And grewH1961 the conspiracyH7195 strong-H0533 for the peopleH5971 continuallyH1980 and increased in numberH7227 withH0854 Absalom.H0053
13: And cameH0935 a messengerH5046 toH0413 David,H1732 saying,H0559 areH1961 the heartsH3820 of the menH0376 of IsraelH3478 withH0310 Absalom.H0053
14: So saidH0559 DavidH1732 to allH3605 his servantsH5650 who [were]H0834 with himH0854 at Jerusalem,H3389 Arise,H6965 and let us fleeH1272 orH3588 notH3808 shallH1961 escapeH6413 fromH6440 Absalom.H0053 Make hasteH4116 to depart,H1980 lestH6435 suddenly,H4116 and he overtake usH5381 and bringH5080 upon usH5921 -H0853 disasterH7451 and strikeH5221 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the sword.H2719
15: And saidH0559 servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 toH0413 the king,H4428 [ready to do]H3605 whateverH0834 commands.H0977 My lordH0113 the kingH4428 we [are],H2009 your servants.H5650
16: And went out,H3318 the kingH4428 and allH3605 with his householdH1004 after himH7272 but leftH5800 the kingH4428 -H0853 tenH6235 women,H0802 concubines,H6370 to keepH8104 the house.H1004
17: And went out,H3318 the kingH4428 and with allH3605 the peopleH5971 after himH7272 and stoppedH5975 the last house.H1023
18: And allH3605 his servantsH5650 passedH5674 beforeH5921 himH3027 and allH3605 the Cherethites,H3774 and allH3605 the Pelethites,H6432 and allH3605 the Gittites,H1663 sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH0376 whoH0834 had followedH0935 himH7272 from GathH1661 passedH5674 uponH5921 the face ofH6440 the king.H4428
19: And saidH0559 the kingH4428 toH0413 IttaiH0863 the Gittite,H1663 whyH4100 are goingH1980 alsoH1571 youH0859 with usH0854 ReturnH7725 and remainH3427 withH5973 the king,H4428 forH3588 a foreigner,H5237 you [are]H0859 and alsoH1571 an exile.H1540 You [are]H0859 from your own place,H4725
20: [only] yesterday,H8543 in fact you cameH0935 and todayH3117 Should I make youH5128 with usH5973 wander up and downH1980 since IH0589 goH1980 thereH5921 whereH0834 IH0589 know not,H1980 ReturnH7725 and take backH7725 -H0853 your brothers-H0251 [be] with youH5973 MercyH2617 and truth.H0571
21: And answeredH6030 IttaiH0863 -H0853 the king,H4428 and said,H0559 [As] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 and [as] lives,H2416 my lordH0113 the kingH4428 surelyH3588 surelyH0518 in whatever placeH4725 in whatH0834 shall be,H1961 thereH8033 my lordH0113 the kingH4428 whetherH0518 in deathH4194 orH0518 life,H2416 evenH3588 there alsoH8033 will beH1961 your servant.H5650
22: So saidH0559 DavidH1732 toH0413 Ittai,H0863 goH1980 and cross over.H5674 And crossed over,H5674 IttaiH0863 the GittiteH1663 and allH3605 his men,H0376 and allH3605 the little onesH2945 who [were]H0834 with him.H0854
23: And allH3605 the countryH0776 weptH1058 with a voice,H6963 loudH1419 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 crossed over-H5674 and the king [himself]H4428 also crossed overH5674 the ValleyH5158 Kidron,H6939 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 crossed over,H5674 towardH5921 towardH6440 the wayH1870 ofH0853 the wilderness.H4057
24: And there wasH2009 also,H1571 ZadokH6659 and allH3605 the LevitesH3881 with himH0854 bearingH5375 -H0853 the arkH0727 of the covenantH1285 of God.H0430 And they set downH3332 -H0853 the arkH0727 of God-H0430 and went up,H5927 AbiatharH0054 untilH5704 had finished crossing overH8552 allH3605 the peopleH5971 passingH5674 fromH4480 the city.H5892
25: And saidH0559 the kingH4428 to Zadok,H6659 Carry backH7725 -H0853 the arkH0727 of GodH0430 into the city.H5892 IfH0518 I findH4672 favorH2580 in the eyesH5869 of Yahweh,H3068 and He will bring me back,H7725 and show meH7200 [both] itH0853 andH0853 His dwelling place.H5116
26: But ifH0518 thusH3541 He says,H0559 noH3808 I have delightH2654 here I amH2005 let Him doH6213 asH0834 seems goodH2896 to Him.H5869
27: And saidH0559 the kingH4428 toH0413 ZadokH6659 the priest,H3548 [Are not] a seer?H7200 youH0859 ReturnH7725 to the cityH5892 in peace,H7965 and AhimaazH0290 your sonH1121 and JonathanH3083 the son,H1121 of Abiathar.H0054 TwoH8147 your sonsH1121 with you.H0854
28: See,H7200 IH0595 will waitH4102 at the fordsH5679 of the wilderness,H4057 untilH5704 comesH0935 wordH1697 from youH5973 to informH5046
29: Therefore carried backH7725 ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH0054 -H0853 the arkH0727 of GodH0430 to Jerusalem-H3389 and they remainedH3427 there.H8033
30: So DavidH1732 went upH5927 by the AscentH4608 of the [Mount of] Olives,H2132 as he went up,H5927 and weptH1058 and headH7218 had covered,H2645 and heH1931 wentH1980 barefoot.H3182 And allH3605 the peopleH5971 who [were]H0834 with himH0854 coveredH2645 manH0376 their heads,H7218 and went up,H5927 as they went upH5927 and weeping.H1058
31: And David,H1732 [someone] toldH5046 saying,H0559 Ahithophel [is]H0302 among the conspiratorsH7194 withH5973 Absalom.H0053 And said,H0559 DavidH1732 turn into foolishness.H5528 I pray,H4994 -H0853 the counselH6098 of AhithophelH0302 Yahweh,H3068
32: and it came to pass,H1961 DavidH1732 when had comeH0935 toH5704 the top [of the mountain]H7218 whereH0834 he worshipedH7812 in itH8033 God,H0430 and there was,H2009 coming to meet himH7125 HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH0757 torn,H7167 with his robeH3801 and dustH0127 onH5921 his head.H7218
33: And said,H0559 DavidH1732 ifH0518 you go onH5674 with meH0854 then you will becomeH1961 to meH5921 a burden.H4853
34: But ifH0518 to the city,H5892 you returnH7725 and sayH0559 to Absalom,H0053 your servant,H5650 IH0589 king-H4428 will beH1961 servantH5650 of your fatherH0001 and [as] I [was]H0589 from then,H0227 so nowH6258 and I [will be]H0589 your servant-H5650 then you may defeatH6565 -H0853 the counselH6098 of Ahithophel.H0302
35: And [do] you not [have]H3808 with youH5973 thereH8033 ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH0054 the priests?H3548 therefore it will be [that],H1961 allH3605 thingH1697 whateverH0834 you hearH8085 from houseH1004 of the kingH4428 you shall tellH5046 to ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH0054 the priests.H3548
36: Indeed [they have],H2009 thereH8033 with themH5973 twoH8147 their sons,H1121 AhimaazH0290 [son] of ZadokH6659 and JonathanH3083 [son] of AbiatharH0054 and you shall sendH7971 by themH3027 meH0413 everyH3605 thingH1697 that youH0834 you hear.H8085
37: So wentH0935 HushaiH2365 friendH7463 of DavidH1732 into the city,H5892 and AbsalomH0053 cameH0935 into Jerusalem.H3389
