1: Moreover saidH0559 AhithophelH0302 toH0413 Absalom,H0053 let me chooseH0977 nowH4994 twoH8147 [and] tenH6240 thousandH0505 men,H0376 and I will ariseH6965 and pursueH7291 afterH0310 DavidH1732 tonight.H3915
2: And I will comeH0935 upon himH5921 and while he [is]H1931 wearyH3023 and weakH7504 handed,H3027 and make afraidH2729 himH0853 and will flee-H5127 allH3605 the peopleH5971 who [are]H0834 with himH0854 and I will strikeH5221 -H0853 the kingH4428 only,H0905
3: and I will bring backH7725 allH3605 the peopleH5971 to youH0413 when return-H7725 allH3605 except the manH0376 whomH0834 youH0859 seekH1245 allH3605 the peopleH5971 will beH1961 at peace.H7965
4: And pleasedH3474 the sayingH1697 well,H5869 AbsalomH0053 andH5869 allH3605 the eldersH2205 of Israel.H3478
5: And saidH0559 Absalom,H0053 callH7121 nowH4994 also,H1571 HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH0757 and let us hearH8085 whatH4100 saysH6310 tooH1571 he.H1931
6: And when cameH0935 HushaiH2365 toH0413 Absalom,H0053 and spokeH0559 AbsalomH0053 to himH0413 saying,H0559 in manner.H1697 ThisH2088 has spokenH1696 AhithophelH0302 shall we doH6213 -H0853 as he says?H1697 ifH0518 not-H0369 youH0859 speak up.H1696
7: So saidH0559 HushaiH2365 toH0413 Absalom,H0053 notH3808 goodH2896 the advice [is]H6098 thatH0834 has givenH3289 AhithophelH0302 at timeH6471 this.H2063
8: For saidH0559 Hushai,H2365 youH0859 knowH3045 -H0853 your fatherH0001 andH0853 his men,H0376 thatH3588 mighty men,H1368 they [are]H1992 and enragedH4751 in their minds,H5315 they [are]H1992 like a bearH1677 robbed of her cubsH7909 in the field.H7704 And your father [is]H0001 a manH0376 of war,H4421 and notH3808 will campH3885 withH0854 the people.H5971
9: Surely,H2009 by nowH6258 heH1931 is hiddenH2244 in oneH0259 of the pits,H6354 orH0176 in oneH0259 of the [other] places-H4725 and it will be,H1961 when are overthrownH5307 at the first,H8462 thatH8085 whoever hears [it]H8085 and will say,H0559 there isH1961 a slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971 whoH0834 followH0310 Absalom.H0053
10: And even he [who is]H1931 alsoH1571 menH1121 valiant,H2428 whoseH0834 heart [is]H3820 like the heartH3820 of a lion,H0738 completelyH4549 will melt-H4549 forH3588 knowsH3045 allH3605 IsraelH3478 thatH3588 a mighty man,H1368 your father [is]H0001 and men.H1121 [are] valiantH2428 [those] who [are]H0834 with him.H0854
11: ThereforeH3588 I adviseH3289 fullyH0622 that be gatheredH0622 to youH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478 from DanH1835 and toH5704 Beersheba,H0884 like the sandH2344 that [is]H0834 byH5921 the seaH3220 for multitude-H7230 and in personH6440 that you goH1980 to battle.H7128
12: So we will comeH0935 upon himH0413 in one ofH0259 the placesH4725 whereH0834 he may be found,H4672 thereH8033 and we [will fall]H5117 on himH5921 asH0834 fallsH5307 the dewH2919 onH5921 the ground-H0127 and notH3808 there shall be leftH3498 and allH3605 the menH0582 who [are]H0834 with himH0854 so much asH1571 one.H0259
13: Moreover ifH0518 intoH0413 a city,H5892 he has withdrawnH0622 then shall bringH5375 allH3605 IsraelH3478 toH0413 city,H5892 thatH1931 ropesH2256 and we will pullH5498 itH0853 intoH5704 the river,H5158 untilH5704 thatH0834 notH3808 there is foundH4672 there.H8033 OneH1571 small stone.H6872
14: So said,H0559 AbsalomH0053 and allH3605 the menH0376 of IsraelH3478 [is] betterH2896 the adviceH6098 of HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH0757 than the adviceH6098 of Ahithophel.H0302 For YahwehH3068 had purposedH6680 to defeatH6565 -H0853 adviceH6098 of Ahithophel,H0302 the goodH2896 to the intentH5668 that might bringH0935 YahwehH3068 onH0413 Absalom.H0053 -H0853 Disaster.H7451
15: And saidH0559 HushaiH2365 toH0413 ZadokH6659 andH0413 AbiatharH0054 the priests,H3548 Like thisH2063 and like thisH2063 advisedH3289 AhithophelH0302 -H0853 AbsalomH0053 andH0853 the eldersH2205 of Israel-H3478 and like thisH2063 and like thisH2063 have advisedH3289 I.H0589
16: Therefore nowH6258 sendH7971 quickly,H4120 and tellH5046 David,H1732 saying,H0559 notH0408 do spendH3885 this nightH3915 in the plainsH6160 of the wilderness,H4057 butH1571 speedilyH5674 cross over-H5674 lestH6435 be swallowed up,H1104 the kingH4428 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 who [are]H0834 with him.H0854
17: Now JonathanH3083 and AhimaazH0290 stayedH5975 En Rogel-H5883 so would comeH1980 a maidservantH8198 and tellH5046 and theyH1992 would goH1980 and tellH5046 KingH4428 David.H1732 ForH3588 notH3808 they daredH3201 be seenH7200 coming intoH0935 the city.H5892
18: And nevertheless sawH7200 themH0853 a boyH5288 and toldH5046 Absalom-H0053 but went awayH1980 the two of themH8147 quickly,H4120 and cameH0935 toH0413 a houseH1004 of manH0376 in Bahurim,H0980 a wellH0875 in his court-H2691 and they went downH3381 into it.H8033
19: And tookH3947 the womanH0802 and spreadH6566 -H0853 a coveringH4539 overH5921 mouth,H6440 of the wellH0875 and spreadH7849 on it-H5921 ground grainH7383 and notH3808 was knownH3045 the thing.H1697
20: And when cameH0935 servantsH5650 of AbsalomH0053 toH0413 the womanH0802 at the house,H1004 and they said,H0559 where [are]H0346 AhimaazH0290 and Jonathan?H3083 so saidH0559 the womanH0802 they have gone overH5674 the brookH4323 water.H4325 And when they had searchedH1245 and notH3808 could find [them]H4672 and they returnedH7725 to Jerusalem.H3389
21: And it came to pass,H1961 afterH0310 they had departed,H1980 that they came upH5927 out of the well,H0875 and wentH1980 and toldH5046 KingH4428 David,H1732 and saidH0559 toH0413 David,H1732 Arise,H6965 and cross overH5674 quicklyH4120 -H0853 the water-H4325 forH3588 thusH3602 has advisedH3289 against youH5921 Ahithophel.H0302
22: So arose,H6965 DavidH1732 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 who [were]H0834 with himH0854 and crossed overH5674 -H0853 the Jordan-H3383 byH5704 lightH0216 morningH1242 even toH5704 one of themH0259 notH3808 was leftH5737 whoH0834 notH3808 had gone overH5674 -H0853 the Jordan.H3383
23: And when AhithophelH0302 sawH7200 thatH3588 notH3808 was followed,H6213 his adviceH6098 and he saddledH2280 -H0853 a donkey,H2543 and arose,H6965 and went homeH1980 toH0413 his house,H1004 toH0413 his city,H5892 and he put in orderH6680 untoH0413 his householdH1004 and hanged himself,H2614 and died,H4191 and he was buriedH6912 in tombH6913 of his father.H0001
24: And DavidH1732 wentH0935 to Mahanaim.H4266 And AbsalomH0053 crossed overH5674 -H0853 the Jordan,H3383 heH1931 and allH3605 the menH0376 of IsraelH3478 with him.H5973
25: AndH0853 AmasaH6021 madeH7760 AbsalomH0053 insteadH8478 of Joab.H3097 CaptainH5921 of the armyH6635 and this Amasa [was]H6021 the son,H1121 of a manH0376 and whose name [was]H8034 JithraH3501 an Israelite,H3481 whoH0834 had gone inH0935 toH0413 AbigailH0026 the daughterH1323 of Nahash,H5176 sisterH0269 of ZeruiahH6870 motherH0517 of Joab.H3097
