[1]And DavidH1732 numberedH6485[H8799] the peopleH5971 that were with him, and setH7760[H8799] captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and captainsH8269 of hundreds over themH3967. [No book]
[2]And DavidH1732 sent forthH7971[H8762] a third partH7992 of the peopleH5971 under the handH3027 of JoabH3097, and a third partH7992 under the handH3027 of AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, Joab'sH3097 brotherH251, and a third partH7992 under the handH3027 of IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663. And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto the peopleH5971, I will surelyH3318[H8800] go forthH3318[H8799] with you myself alsoH589. [No book]
[3]But the peopleH5971 answeredH559[H8799], Thou shalt not go forthH3318[H8799]: for if we fleeH5127[H8799] awayH5127[H8800], they will not careH7760[H8799][H3820] for us; neither if halfH2677 of us dieH4191[H8799], will they careH7760[H8799][H3820] for us: but now thou art worthH3644 tenH6235 thousandH505 of us: therefore now it is betterH2896 that thou succourH5826[H8800][H8675][H5826][H8687] us out of the cityH5892. [No book]
[4]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto them, What seemethH5869 you bestH3190[H8799] I will doH6213[H8799]. And the kingH4428 stoodH5975[H8799] by the gateH8179 sideH3027, and all the peopleH5971 came outH3318[H8804] by hundredsH3967 and by thousandsH505. [No book]
[5]And the kingH4428 commandedH6680[H8762] JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 and IttaiH863, sayingH559[H8800], Deal gentlyH328 for my sake with the young manH5288, even with AbsalomH53. And all the peopleH5971 heardH8085[H8804] when the kingH4428 gave all the captainsH8269 chargeH6680[H8763] concerningH1697 AbsalomH53. [No book]
[6]So the peopleH5971 went outH3318[H8799] into the fieldH7704 againstH7125[H8800] IsraelH3478: and the battleH4421 was in the woodH3293 of EphraimH669; [No book]
[7]Where the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 were slainH5062[H8735] beforeH6440 the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732, and there was there a greatH1419 slaughterH4046 that dayH3117 of twentyH6242 thousand menH505. [No book]
[8]For the battleH4421 was there scatteredH6327[H8737] over the faceH6440 of all the countryH776: and the woodH3293 devouredH398[H8800] moreH7235[H8686] peopleH5971 that dayH3117 than the swordH2719 devouredH398.[H8804] [No book]
[9]And AbsalomH53 metH7122[H8735] the servantsH6440[H5650] of DavidH1732. And AbsalomH53 rodeH7392[H8802] upon a muleH6505, and the muleH6505 wentH935[H8799] under the thick boughsH7730 of a greatH1419 oakH424, and his headH7218 caught holdH2388[H8799] of the oakH424, and he was taken upH5414[H8714] between the heavenH8064 and the earthH776; and the muleH6505 that was under him went awayH5674.[H8804] [No book]
[10]And a certainH259 manH376 sawH7200[H8799] it, and toldH5046[H8686] JoabH3097, and saidH559[H8799], Behold, I sawH7200[H8804] AbsalomH53 hangedH8518[H8803] in an oakH424. [No book]
[11]And JoabH3097 saidH559[H8799] unto the manH376 that toldH5046[H8688] him, And, behold, thou sawestH7200[H8804] him, and why didst thou not smiteH5221[H8689] him there to the groundH776? and I would have givenH5414[H8800] thee tenH6235 shekels of silverH3701, and aH259 girdleH2290. [No book]
[12]And the manH376 saidH559[H8799] unto JoabH3097, ThoughH3863 I should receiveH8254[H8802] a thousandH505 shekels of silverH3701 in mine handH3709, yet would I not put forthH7971[H8799] mine handH3027 against the king'sH4428 sonH1121: for in our hearingH241 the kingH4428 chargedH6680[H8765] thee and AbishaiH52 and IttaiH863, sayingH559[H8800], BewareH8104[H8798] that none touch the young manH5288 AbsalomH53. [No book]
[13]OtherwiseH176 I should have wroughtH6213[H8804] falsehoodH8267 against mine own lifeH5315: for there is no matterH1697 hidH3582[H8735] from the kingH4428, and thou thyself wouldest have setH3320 thyself against meH8691. [No book]
[14]Then saidH559[H8799] JoabH3097, I may not tarryH3176[H8686] thus with theeH6440. And he tookH3947[H8799] threeH7969 dartsH7626 in his handH3709, and thrustH8628[H8799] them through the heartH3820 of AbsalomH53, while he was yet aliveH2416 in the midst of the oakH424. [No book]
[15]And tenH6235 young menH5288 that bareH5375[H8802] Joab'sH3097 armourH3627 compassed aboutH5437[H8799] and smoteH5221[H8686] AbsalomH53, and slewH4191 himH8686. [No book]
[16]And JoabH3097 blewH8628[H8799] the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 returnedH7725[H8799] from pursuingH7291[H8800] afterH310 IsraelH3478: for JoabH3097 held backH2820[H8804] the peopleH5971. [No book]
[17]And they tookH3947[H8799] AbsalomH53, and castH7993[H8686] him into a greatH1419 pitH6354 in the woodH3293, and laidH5324[H8686] a veryH3966 greatH1419 heapH1530 of stonesH68 upon him: and all IsraelH3478 fledH5127[H8804] every oneH376 to his tentH168. [No book]
[18]Now AbsalomH53 in his lifetimeH2416 had takenH3947[H8804] and reared upH5324[H8686] for himself a pillarH4678, which is in the king'sH4428 daleH6010: for he saidH559[H8804], I have no sonH1121 to keep my nameH8034 in remembranceH2142[H8687]: and he calledH7121[H8799] the pillarH4678 after his own nameH8034: and it is calledH7121[H8735] unto this dayH3117, Absalom'sH53 placeH3027. [No book]
[19]Then saidH559[H8804] AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659, Let me now runH7323[H8799], and bearH1319 the kingH4428 tidingsH1319[H8762], how that the LORDH3068 hath avengedH8199[H8804] him of his enemiesH3027[H341].[H8802] [No book]
[20]And JoabH3097 saidH559[H8799] unto him, ThouH376 shalt not bear tidingsH1309 this dayH3117, but thou shalt bear tidingsH1319[H8765] anotherH312 dayH3117: but this dayH3117 thou shalt bear no tidingsH1319[H8762], because the king'sH4428 sonH1121 is deadH4191.[H8804] [No book]
[21]Then saidH559[H8799] JoabH3097 to CushiH3569, GoH3212[H8798] tellH5046[H8685] the kingH4428 what thou hast seenH7200[H8804]. And CushiH3569 bowedH7812[H8691] himself unto JoabH3097, and ranH7323.[H8799] [No book]
[22]Then saidH559[H8799] AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659 yet againH3254[H8686] to JoabH3097, But howsoeverH4100, let me, I pray thee, also runH7323[H8799] afterH310 CushiH3569. And JoabH3097 saidH559[H8799], Wherefore wilt thou runH7323[H8801], my sonH1121, seeing that thou hast no tidingsH1309 readyH4672?[H8802] [No book]
[23]But howsoever, said he, let me runH7323[H8799]. And he saidH559[H8799] unto him, RunH7323[H8798]. Then AhimaazH290 ranH7323[H8799] by the wayH1870 of the plainH3603, and overranH5674[H8799] CushiH3569. [No book]
[24]And DavidH1732 satH3427[H8802] between the twoH8147 gatesH8179: and the watchmanH6822[H8802] went upH3212[H8799] to the roofH1406 over the gateH8179 unto the wallH2346, and lifted upH5375[H8799] his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200[H8799], and behold a manH376 runningH7323 aloneH8801. [No book]
[25]And the watchmanH6822[H8802] criedH7121[H8799], and toldH5046[H8686] the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], If he be alone, there is tidingsH1309 in his mouthH6310. And he cameH3212[H8799] apaceH1980[H8800], and drew nearH7131. [No book]
[26]And the watchmanH6822[H8802] sawH7200[H8799] anotherH312 manH376 runningH7323[H8801]: and the watchmanH6822[H8802] calledH7121[H8799] unto the porterH7778, and saidH559[H8799], Behold another manH376 runningH7323[H8801] alone. And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], He also bringeth tidingsH1319.[H8764] [No book]
[27]And the watchmanH6822[H8802] saidH559[H8799], Me thinkethH7200[H8802] the runningH4794 of the foremostH7223 is like the runningH4794 of AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659. And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], He is a goodH2896 manH376, and comethH935[H8799] with goodH2896 tidingsH1309. [No book]
[28]And AhimaazH290 calledH7121[H8799], and saidH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428, All is wellH7965. And he fell downH7812[H8691] to the earthH776 upon his faceH639 before the kingH4428, and saidH559[H8799], BlessedH1288[H8803] be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which hath delivered upH5462[H8765] the menH582 that lifted upH5375[H8804] their handH3027 against my lordH113 the kingH4428. [No book]
[29]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], Is the young manH5288 AbsalomH53 safeH7965? And AhimaazH290 answeredH559[H8799], When JoabH3097 sentH7971[H8800] the king'sH4428 servantH5650, and me thy servantH5650, I sawH7200[H8804] a greatH1419 tumultH1995, but I knewH3045 not what it wasH8804. [No book]
[30]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Turn asideH5437[H8798], and standH3320[H8690] hereH3541. And he turned asideH5437[H8735], and stood stillH5975.[H8799] [No book]
[31]And, behold, CushiH3569 cameH935[H8802]; and CushiH3569 saidH559[H8799], TidingsH1319[H8691], my lordH113 the kingH4428: for the LORDH3068 hath avengedH8199[H8804] thee this dayH3117 of all themH3027 that rose upH6965 against theeH8801. [No book]
[32]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto CushiH3569, Is the young manH5288 AbsalomH53 safeH7965? And CushiH3569 answeredH559[H8799], The enemiesH341[H8802] of my lordH113 the kingH4428, and all that riseH6965[H8804] against thee to do thee hurtH7451, be as that young man isH5288. [No book]
[33]And the kingH4428 was much movedH7264[H8799], and went upH5927[H8799] to the chamberH5944 over the gateH8179, and weptH1058[H8799]: and as he wentH3212[H8800], thus he saidH559[H8804], O my sonH1121 AbsalomH53, my sonH1121, my sonH1121 AbsalomH53! would God I had diedH4191[H8800] for theeH5414[H8799], O AbsalomH53, my sonH1121, my sonH1121!
