[1]Moreover AhithophelH302 saidH559[H8799] unto AbsalomH53, Let me now choose outH977[H8799] twelveH8147[H6240] thousandH505 menH376, and I will ariseH6965[H8799] and pursueH7291[H8799] afterH310 DavidH1732 this nightH3915: |
[No book] |
[2]And I will comeH935[H8799] upon him while he is wearyH3023 and weakH7504 handedH3027, and will make him afraidH2729[H8689]: and all the peopleH5971 that are with him shall fleeH5127[H8804]; and I will smiteH5221[H8689] the king onlyH4428: |
[No book] |
[3]And I will bring backH7725[H8686] all the peopleH5971 unto thee: the manH376 whom thou seekestH1245[H8764] is as if all returnedH7725[H8800]: so all the peopleH5971 shall be in peaceH7965. |
[No book] |
[4]And the sayingH1697 pleasedH3474[H8799] AbsalomH53 wellH5869, and all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478. |
[No book] |
[5]Then saidH559[H8799] AbsalomH53, CallH7121[H8798] now HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757 also, and let us hearH8085[H8799] likewise what he saithH6310. |
[No book] |
[6]And when HushaiH2365 was comeH935[H8799] to AbsalomH53, AbsalomH53 spakeH559[H8799] unto him, sayingH559[H8800], AhithophelH302 hath spokenH1696[H8765] after this mannerH1697: shall we doH6213[H8799] after his sayingH1697? if not; speakH1696 thouH8761. |
[No book] |
[7]And HushaiH2365 saidH559[H8799] unto AbsalomH53, The counselH6098 that AhithophelH302 hath givenH3289[H8804] is not goodH2896 at this timeH6471. |
[No book] |
[8]For, saidH559[H8799] HushaiH2365, thou knowestH3045[H8804] 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[H8799] with the peopleH5971. |
[No book] |
[9]Behold, he is hidH2244[H8737] now in someH259 pitH6354, or in someH259 other placeH4725: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrownH5307[H8800] at the firstH8462, that whosoeverH8085[H8802] hearethH8085[H8804] it will sayH559[H8804], There is a slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971 that followH310 AbsalomH53. |
[No book] |
[10]And he also that is valiantH1121[H2428], whose heartH3820 is as the heartH3820 of a lionH738, shall utterlyH4549[H8736] meltH4549[H8735]: for all IsraelH3478 knowethH3045[H8802] that thy fatherH1 is a mighty manH1368, and they which be with him are valiantH2428 menH1121. |
[No book] |
[11]Therefore I counselH3289[H8804] that all IsraelH3478 be generallyH622[H8736] gatheredH622[H8735] unto thee, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, as the sandH2344 that is by the seaH3220 for multitudeH7230; and that thou goH1980[H8802] to battleH7128 in thine own personH6440. |
[No book] |
[12]So shall we comeH935[H8804] upon him in someH259 placeH4725 where he shall be foundH4672[H8738], and we will lightH5168 upon him as the dewH2919 fallethH5307[H8799] on the groundH127: and of him and of all the menH582 that are with him there shall not be leftH3498[H8738] so much asH1571 oneH259. |
[No book] |
[13]Moreover, ifH518 he be gottenH622[H8735] into a cityH5892, then shall all IsraelH3478 bringH5375[H8689] ropesH2256 to that cityH5892, and we will drawH5498[H8804] it into the riverH5158, until there be not oneH1571 small stoneH6872 foundH4672 thereH8738. |
[No book] |
[14]And AbsalomH53 and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559[H8799], The counselH6098 of HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757 is betterH2896 than the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302. For the LORDH3068 had appointedH6680[H8765] to defeatH6565[H8687] the goodH2896 counselH6098 of AhithophelH302, to the intentH5668 that the LORDH3068 might bringH935[H8687] evilH7451 upon AbsalomH53. |
[No book] |
[15]Then saidH559[H8799] HushaiH2365 unto ZadokH6659 and to AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548, Thus and thus did AhithophelH302 counselH3289[H8804] AbsalomH53 and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and thus and thus have I counselledH3289.[H8804] |
[No book] |
[16]Now therefore sendH7971[H8798] quicklyH4120, and tellH5046[H8685] DavidH1732, sayingH559[H8800], LodgeH3885[H8799] not this nightH3915 in the plainsH6160[H8675][H5679] of the wildernessH4057, but speedilyH5674[H8800] pass overH5674[H8799]; lest the kingH4428 be swallowed upH1104[H8792], and all the people that are with himH5971. |

[17]Now JonathanH3083 and AhimaazH290 stayedH5975[H8802] by EnrogelH5883; for they mightH3201[H8799] not be seenH7200[H8736] to comeH935[H8800] into the cityH5892: and a wenchH8198 wentH1980[H8804] and toldH5046[H8689] them; and they wentH3212[H8799] and toldH5046[H8689] kingH4428 DavidH1732. |
[No book] |
[18]Nevertheless a ladH5288 sawH7200[H8799] them, and toldH5046[H8686] AbsalomH53: but they wentH3212[H8799] bothH8147 of them away quicklyH4120, and cameH935[H8799] to a man'sH376 houseH1004 in BahurimH980, which had a wellH875 in his courtH2691; whitherH8033 they went downH3381.[H8799] |
[No book] |
[19]And the womanH802 tookH3947[H8799] and spreadH6566[H8799] a coveringH4539 over the well'sH875 mouthH6440, and spreadH7849[H8799] ground cornH7383 thereon; and the thingH1697 was not knownH3045.[H8738] |
[No book] |
[20]And when Absalom'sH53 servantsH5650 cameH935[H8799] to the womanH802 to the houseH1004, they saidH559[H8799], Where is AhimaazH290 and JonathanH3083? And the womanH802 saidH559[H8799] unto them, They be gone overH5674[H8804] the brookH4323 of waterH4325. And when they had soughtH1245[H8762] and could not findH4672[H8804] them, they returnedH7725[H8799] to JerusalemH3389. |
[No book] |
[21]And it came to pass, afterH310 they were departedH3212[H8800], that they came upH5927[H8799] out of the wellH875, and wentH3212[H8799] and toldH5046[H8686] kingH4428 DavidH1732, and saidH559[H8799] unto DavidH1732, AriseH6965[H8798], and pass quicklyH4120 overH5674[H8798] the waterH4325: for thus hath AhithophelH302 counselledH3289 against youH8804. |
[No book] |
[22]Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965[H8799], and all the peopleH5971 that were with him, and they passed overH5674[H8799] JordanH3383: by the morningH1242 lightH216 there lackedH5737[H8738] not oneH259 of them that was not gone overH5674[H8804] JordanH3383. |
[No book] |
[23]And when AhithophelH302 sawH7200[H8804] that his counselH6098 was not followedH6213[H8738], he saddledH2280[H8799] his assH2543, and aroseH6965[H8799], and gat him homeH3212[H8799] to his houseH1004, to his cityH5892, and put his householdH1004 in orderH6680[H8762], and hangedH2614[H8735] himself, and diedH4191[H8799], and was buriedH6912[H8735] in the sepulchreH6913 of his fatherH1. |
[No book] |
[24]Then DavidH1732 cameH935[H8804] to MahanaimH4266. And AbsalomH53 passed overH5674[H8804] JordanH3383, he and all the menH376 of Israel with himH3478. |
[No book] |
[25]And AbsalomH53 madeH7760[H8804] AmasaH6021 captain of the hostH6635 instead of JoabH3097: which AmasaH6021 was a man'sH376 sonH1121, whose nameH8034 was IthraH3501 an IsraeliteH3481, that went inH935[H8804] to AbigailH26 the daughterH1323 of NahashH5176, sisterH269 to ZeruiahH6870 Joab'sH3097 motherH517. |
[No book] |
[26]So IsraelH3478 and AbsalomH53 pitchedH2583[H8799] in the landH776 of GileadH1568. |
[No book] |
[27]And it came to pass, when DavidH1732 was comeH935[H8800] to MahanaimH4266, that ShobiH7629 the sonH1121 of NahashH5176 of RabbahH7237 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988 of LodebarH3810, and BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569 of RogelimH7274, |

[28]BroughtH5066[H8689] bedsH4904, and basonsH5592, and earthenH3335[H8802] vesselsH3627, and wheatH2406, and barleyH8184, and flourH7058, and parchedH7039 corn, and beansH6321, and lentilesH5742, and parched pulseH7039, |

[29]And honeyH1706, and butterH2529, and sheepH6629, and cheeseH8194 of kineH1241, for DavidH1732, and for the peopleH5971 that were with him, to eatH398[H8800]: for they saidH559[H8804], The peopleH5971 is hungryH7457, and wearyH5889, and thirstyH6771, in the wildernessH4057. |
