And it came to pass after this that Absalom{gr.Abessalom} prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. |
|
15:1 ¶
And it came to pass°
after°°
this,°°
that Absalom°
prepared°°
him chariots°
and horses,°
and fifty°
men°
to run°°
before°
him. |
|
15:2
And Absalom{gr.Abessalom} rose early, and stood by the side of the way of the gate: and it came to pass that every man who had a cause, came to the king for judgment, and Absalom{gr.Abessalom} cried to him, and said to him, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant [is] of one of the tribes of Israel. |
|
15:2
And Absalom°
rose up early,°°
and stood°°
beside°°
the way°
of the gate:°
and it was°
[so], that when any°
man°
that°
had°
a controversy°
came°°
to°
the king°
for judgment,°
then Absalom°
called°°
unto°
him, and said,°°
Of°°
what°
city°
[art] thou?°
And he said,°°
Thy servant°
[is] of one°°
of the tribes°
of Israel.° |
|
15:3
And Absalom{gr.Abessalom} said to him, See, thy affairs [are] right and clear, yet thou hast no one [appointed] of the king to hear thee. |
|
15:3
And Absalom°
said°°
unto°
him, See,°°
thy matters°
[are] good°
and right;°
but [there is] no°
man [deputed] of the king°
to hear°°
thee. |
|
15:4
And Absalom{gr.Abessalom} said, O that one would make me a judge in the land; then every man who had a dispute or a cause would come to me, and I would judge him! |
|
15:4
Absalom°
said°°
moreover, Oh that°
I were made°°
judge°°
in the land,°
that every°
man°
which°
hath°
any suit°
or cause°
might come°°
unto°
me, and I would do him justice!°° |
|
15:5
And it came to pass when a man came near to do him obeisance, that he stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him. |
|
15:5
And it was°
[so], that when any man°
came nigh°°
[to him] to do him obeisance,°°
he put forth°°°
his hand,°
and took°°
him, and kissed°°
him. |
|
15:6
And Absalom{gr.Abessalom} did after this manner to all Israel that came to the king for judgement; and Absalom{gr.Abessalom} gained the hearts of the men of Israel. |
|
15:6
And on this°
manner°
did°°
Absalom°
to all°
Israel°
that°
came°°
to°
the king°
for judgment:°
so Absalom°
stole°°°
the hearts°
of the men°°
of Israel.° |
|
15:7 ¶
And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom{gr.Abessalom} said to his father, I will go now, and pay my vows, which I vowed to the Lord in Hebron{gr.Chebron}. |
|
15:7 ¶
And it came to pass°
after°°
forty°
years,°
that Absalom°
said°°
unto°
the king,°
I pray thee,°
let me go°°°
and pay°°°
my vow,°
which°
I have vowed°°
unto Yahweh,°
in Hebron.° |
|
15:8
For thy servant vowed a vow when I dwelt at Geshur{gr.Gedsur} in Syria, saying, If the Lord should indeed restore me to Jerusalem, then will I serve the Lord. |
|
15:8
For°
thy servant°
vowed°°
a vow°
while I abode°°
at Geshur°
in Syria,°
saying,°°
If°
Yahweh°
shall bring me again°°°°
indeed to Jerusalem,°
then I will serve°°°
Yahweh.° |
|
15:9
And the king said to him, Go in peace. And he arose and went to Hebron{gr.Chebron}. |
|
15:9
And the king°
said°°
unto him, Go°°°
in peace.°
So he arose,°°
and went°°°
to Hebron.° |
|
15:10 ¶
And Absalom{gr.Abessalom} sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then shall ye say, Absalom{gr.Abessalom} is become king in Hebron{gr.Chebron}. |
|
15:10 ¶
But Absalom°
sent°°
spies°°
throughout all°
the tribes°
of Israel,°
saying,°°
As soon as ye hear°°°
the sound°
of the trumpet,°
then ye shall say,°°
Absalom°
reigneth°°
in Hebron.° |
|
15:11
And there went with Absalom{gr.Abessalom} two hundred chosen men from Jerusalem; and they went in their simplicity, and knew not anything. |
|
15:11
And with°
Absalom°
went°°
two hundred°
men°
out of Jerusalem,°°
[that were] called;°°
and they went°°
in their simplicity,°
and they knew°°
not°
any°
thing.° |
|
15:12
And Absalom{gr.Abessalom} sent to Ahithophel{gr.Achitophel} the Theconite, the counsellor of David, from his city, from Gola, where he was sacrificing: and there was a strong conspiracy; and the people with Absalom{gr.Abessalom} were increasingly numerous. |
|
15:12
And Absalom°
sent°°
for°
Ahithophel°
the Gilonite,°
David's°
counsellor,°°
from his city,°
[even] from Giloh,°°
while he offered°°°
sacrifices.°
And the conspiracy°
was°
strong;°
for the people°
increased°
continually°°
with°
Absalom.° |
|
15:13 ¶
And there came a messenger to David, saying, the heart of the men of Israel is gone after Absalom{gr.Abessalom}. |
|
15:13 ¶
And there came°°
a messenger°°
to°
David,°
saying,°°
The hearts°
of the men°
of Israel°
are°
after°
Absalom.° |
|
15:14
And David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, Rise, and let us flee, for we have no refuge from Absalom{gr.Abessalom}: make haste and go, lest he overtake us speedily, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. |
|
15:14
And David°
said°°
unto all°
his servants°
that°
[were] with°
him at Jerusalem,°
Arise,°°
and let us flee;°°°
for°
we shall°
not°
[else] escape°
from°°°
Absalom:°
make speed°°
to depart,°°°
lest°
he overtake°°
us suddenly,°°
and bring°°°
evil°
upon°
us, and smite°°
the city°
with the edge°
of the sword.° |
|
15:15
And the king's servants said to the king, In all things which our lord the king chooses, behold [we are] thy servants. |
|
15:15
And the king's°
servants°
said°°
unto°
the king,°
Behold,°
thy servants°
[are ready to do] whatsoever°°
my adon°
the king°
shall appoint.°° |
|
15:16
And the king and all his house went out on foot: and the king left ten women of his concubines to keep the house. |
|
15:16
And the king°
went forth,°°
and all°
his household°
after°
him. And the king°
left°°°
ten°
women,°
[which were] concubines,°
to keep°°
the house.° |
|
15:17
And the king and all his servants went out on foot; and abode in a distant house. |
|
15:17
And the king°
went forth,°°
and all°
the people°
after°
him, and tarried°°
in a place°
that was far off.°°° |
|
15:18
And all his servants passed on by his side, and every Chelethite, and every Pelethite{gr.Phelethite}, and they stood by the olive tree in the wilderness: and all the people marched near him, and all his court, and all the men of might, and all the men of war, six hundred: and they were present at his side: and every Chelethite, and every Pelethite{gr.Phelethite}, and all the six hundred Gittites that came on foot out of Gath{gr.Geth}, and they went on before the king. |
|
15:18
And all°
his servants°
passed on°°
beside°°
him; and all°
the Cherethites,°
and all°
the Pelethites,°
and all°
the Gittites,°
six°
hundred°
men°
which°
came°°
after°
him from Gath,°°
passed on°°
before°°
the king.° |
|
15:19 ¶
And the king said to Ittai{gr.Ethi}, the Gittite, Why dost thou also go with us? return, and dwell with the king, for thou art a stranger, and thou has come forth as a sojourner out of thy place. |
|
15:19 ¶
Then said°°
the king°
to°
Ittai°
the Gittite,°
Wherefore°
goest°°°
thou°
also°
with°
us? return°°
to thy place,°
and abide°°
with°
the king:°
for°
thou°
[art] a stranger,°
and also°
an exile.°° |
|
15:20
Whereas thou camest yesterday, shall I to-day cause thee to travel with us, and shalt thou [thus] change thy place? thou didst come forth yesterday, and to-day shall I set thee in motion to go along with us? I indeed will go whithersoever I may go: return then, and cause thy brethren to return with thee, and may the Lord deal mercifully and truly with thee. |
|
15:20
Whereas thou camest°°
[but] yesterday,°
should I this day°
make thee go°°
up°
and down°°°°
with°
us? seeing I°
go°°
whither°°
I°
may,°
return°°
thou, and take back°°°
thy brethren:°
mercy°
and truth°
[be] with°
thee. |
|
15:21
And Ittai{gr.Ethi} answered the king and said, [As] the Lord lives and as my lord the king lives, in the place wheresoever my lord shall be, whether it be for death or life, there shall thy servant be. |
|
15:21
And Ittai°
answered°°°
the king,°
and said,°°
[As] Yahweh°
liveth,°
and [as] my adon°
the king°
liveth,°
surely°°
in what°
place°
my adon°
the king°
shall be,°
whether°
in death°
or°
life,°
even°
there°
also will thy servant°
be.° |
|
15:22
And the king said to Ittai{gr.Ethi}, Come and pass over with me. So Ittai{gr.Ethi} the Gittite and the king passed over, and all his servants, and all the multitude with him. |
|
15:22
And David°
said°°
to°
Ittai,°
Go°°°
and pass over.°°
And Ittai°
the Gittite°
passed over,°°
and all°
his men,°°
and all°
the little ones°
that°
[were] with°
him. |
|
15:23
And all the country wept with a loud voice. And all the people passed by over the brook of Kidron{gr.Kedron}; and the king crossed the brook Kidron{gr.Kedron}: and all the people and the king passed on toward the way of the wilderness. |
|
15:23
And all°
the country°
wept°°
with a loud°
voice,°
and all°
the people°
passed over:°°
the king°
also himself passed over°°
the brook°
Kidron,°
and all°
the people°
passed over,°°
toward°°
the way°
of°
the wilderness.° |
|
15:24 ¶
And behold also Zadok{gr.Sadoc}, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Baethar: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had passed out of the city. |
|
15:24 ¶
And lo°
Zadok°
also,°
and all°
the Levites°
[were] with°
him, bearing°°°
the ark°
of the covenant°
of Elohim:°
and they set down°°°
the ark°
of Elohim;°
and Abiathar°
went up,°°
until°
all°
the people°
had done°°
passing°°
out of°
the city.° |
|
15:25
And the king said to Zadok{gr.Sadoc}, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I should find favour in the eyes of the Lord, then will he bring me back, and he will shew me it and its beauty. |
|
15:25
And the king°
said°°
unto Zadok,°
Carry back°°°
the ark°
of Elohim°
into the city:°
if°
I shall find°°
favour°
in the eyes°
of Yahweh,°
he will bring me again,°°
and shew°°
me [both] it, and his habitation:° |
|
15:26
But if he should say thus, I have no pleasure in thee; behold, [here] I am, let him do to me according to that which is good in his eyes. |
|
15:26
But if°
he thus°
say,°°
I have no°
delight°°
in thee; behold,°
[here am] I, let him do°°
to me as°
seemeth°
good°
unto him. |
|
15:27
And the king said to Zadok{gr.Sadoc} the priest, Behold, thou shalt return to the city in peace, and Ahimaaz{gr.Achimaas} thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons with you. |
|
15:27
The king°
said°°
also unto°
Zadok°
the priest,°
[Art not] thou°
a seer?°°
return°°
into the city°
in peace,°
and your two°
sons°
with°
you, Ahimaaz°
thy son,°
and Jonathan°
the son°
of Abiathar.° |
|
15:28
Behold, I continue in arms in Araboth of the desert, until there come tidings from you to report to me. |
|
15:28
See,°°
I°
will tarry°°
in the plain°°°
of the wilderness,°
until°
there come°°
word°
from°°
you to certify°°
me. |
|
15:29
So Zadok{gr.Sadoc} and Abiathar brought back the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem, and it continued there. |
|
15:29
Zadok°
therefore and Abiathar°
carried°°°
the ark°
of Elohim°
again°°
to Jerusalem:°
and they tarried°°
there.° |
|
15:30 ¶
And David went up by the ascent of [the mount of] Olives, ascending and weeping, and had his head covered, and went barefooted: and all the people that were with him covered [every] man his head; and they went up, ascending and weeping. |
|
15:30 ¶
And David°
went up°°
by the ascent°
of [mount] Olivet,°
and wept°°
as he went up,°°
and had his head°
covered,°°
and he°
went°°
barefoot:°
and all°
the people°
that°
[was] with°
him covered°°
every man°
his head,°
and they went up,°°
weeping°°
as they went up.°° |
|
15:31 ¶
And it was reported to David, saying, Ahithophel{gr.Achitophel} also [is] among the conspirators with Absalom{gr.Abessalom}. And David said, O Lord my God, disconcert, I pray thee, the counsel of Ahithophel{gr.Achitophel}. |
|
15:31 ¶
And [one] told°°
David,°
saying,°°
Ahithophel°
[is] among the conspirators°°
with°
Absalom.°
And David°
said,°°
O Yahweh,°
I pray thee,°
turn°
the counsel°
of Ahithophel°
into foolishness.°° |
|
15:32 ¶
And David came as far as Ros, where he worshipped God: and behold, Hushai{gr.Chusi} the chief friend of David came out to meet him, having rent his garment, and earth [was] upon his head. |
|
15:32 ¶
And it came to pass,°
that [when] David°
was come°°
to°
the top°
[of the mount], where°
he worshipped°°
Elohim,°
behold,°
Hushai°
the Archite°
came to meet°°
him with his coat°
rent,°°
and earth°
upon°
his head:° |
|
15:33
And David said to him, If thou shouldest go over with me, then wilt thou be a burden to me; |
|
15:33
Unto whom David°
said,°°
If°
thou passest on°°
with°
me, then thou shalt be°
a burden°
unto°
me: |
|
15:34
but if thou shall return to the city, and shalt say to Absalom{gr.Abessalom}, Thy brethren are passed over, and the king thy father is passed over after me: and now I am thy servant, O king, suffer me to live: at one time even of late I was the servant of thy father, and now I [am] thy humble servant-- so shalt thou disconcert for me, the counsel of Ahithophel{gr.Achitophel}. |
|
15:34
But if°
thou return°°
to the city,°
and say°°
unto Absalom,°
I°
will be°
thy servant,°
O king;°
[as] I°
[have been] thy father's°
servant°
hitherto,°°
so [will] I°
now°
also [be] thy servant:°
then mayest thou for me defeat°°°
the counsel°
of Ahithophel.° |
|
15:35
And, behold, [there are] there with thee Zadok{gr.Sadoc} and Abiathar the priests; and it shall be that every word that thou shalt hear of the house of the king, thou shalt report it to Zadok{gr.Sadoc} and Abiathar the priests. |
|
15:35
And [hast thou] not°
there°
with°
thee Zadok°
and Abiathar°
the priests?°
therefore it shall be,°
[that] what°
thing°
soever°
thou shalt hear°°
out of the king's°
house,°°°
thou shalt tell°°
[it] to Zadok°
and Abiathar°
the priests.° |
|
15:36
Behold, [there are] there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz{gr.Achimaas} the son of Zadok{gr.Sadoc}, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar; and by them ye shall report to me every word which ye shall hear. |
|
15:36
Behold,°
[they have] there°
with°
them their two°
sons,°
Ahimaaz°
Zadok's°
[son], and Jonathan°
Abiathar's°
[son]; and by°
them°
ye shall send°°
unto°
me every°
thing°
that°
ye can hear.°° |
|
15:37
So Hushai{gr.Chusi} the friend of David went into the city, and Absalom{gr.Abessalom} was lately gone into Jerusalem. |
|
15:37
So Hushai°
David's°
friend°
came°°
into the city,°
and Absalom°
came°°
into Jerusalem.° |
