And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS after H310 this H3651 ADV , that Absalom H53 prepared H6213 W-VQY3MS him chariots H4818 and horses H5483 , and fifty H2572 W-MMP men H376 NMS to run H7323 before H6440 him .
And Absalom H53 rose up early H7925 W-VHQ3MS , and stood H5975 W-VQQ3MS beside H5921 PREP the way H1870 NMS of the gate H8179 : and it was H1961 W-VQY3MS [ so ] , that when any H3605 NMS man H376 D-NMS that H834 RPRO had H1961 VQY3MS a controversy H7379 NMS came H935 L-VQFC to H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS for judgment H4941 , then Absalom H53 called H7121 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Of M-DPRO what H335 city H5892 GFS [ art ] thou H859 PPRO-2MS ? And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thy servant H5650 [ is ] of one H259 of the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 .
And Absalom H53 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , See H7200 VQI2MS , thy matters H1697 [ are ] good H2896 and right H5228 ; but [ there ] [ is ] no H369 NPAR man [ deputed ] of the king H4428 to hear H8085 thee .
Absalom H53 said H559 W-VQY3MS moreover , Oh that H4310 IPRO I were made H7760 judge H8199 in the land H776 B-NFS , that every H3605 NMS man H376 NMS which H834 RPRO hath H1961 VQY3MS any suit H7379 NMS or cause H4941 W-NMS might come H935 VQY3MS unto H5921 me , and I would do him justice H6663 !
And it was H1961 W-VQQ3MS [ so ] , that when any man H376 NMS came nigh H7126 [ to ] [ him ] to do him obeisance H7812 , he put forth his hand H3027 CFS-3MS , and took H2388 him , and kissed H5401 him .
And on this H2088 D-PMS manner H1697 did H6213 W-VQY3MS Absalom H53 to all H3605 L-CMS Israel H3478 that H834 RPRO came H935 VQY3MP to H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS for judgment H4941 : so Absalom H53 stole H1589 the hearts H3820 NMS of the men H376 CMP of Israel H3478 LMS .
And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS after H7093 M-CMS forty H705 MMP years H8141 NFS , that Absalom H53 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , let me go H1980 and pay H7999 W-VPY1MS my vow H5088 , which H834 RPRO I have vowed H5087 VQQ1MS unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS , in Hebron H2275 .
For H3588 CONJ thy servant H5650 vowed H5087 a vow H5088 while I abode H3427 at Geshur H1650 in Syria H758 , saying H559 L-VQFC , If H518 PART the LORD H3068 EDS shall bring me again H7725 indeed to Jerusalem H3389 , then I will serve H5647 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
But Absalom H53 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS spies H7270 throughout all H3605 B-CMS the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 , saying H559 L-VQFC , As soon as ye hear H8085 the sound H6963 CMS of the trumpet H7782 , then ye shall say H559 , Absalom H53 reigneth H4427 in Hebron H2275 .
And with H854 W-PART Absalom H53 went H1980 VQQ3MP two hundred H3967 MFD men H376 NMS out of Jerusalem H3389 , [ that ] [ were ] called H7121 ; and they went H1980 in their simplicity H8537 , and they knew H3045 VQQ3MP not H3808 W-NPAR any H3605 NMS thing H1697 .
And Absalom H53 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS for Ahithophel H302 the Gilonite H1526 , David H1732 MMS \'s counselor H3289 , from his city H5892 , [ even ] from Giloh H1542 , while he offered H2076 sacrifices H2077 . And the conspiracy H7195 was H1961 W-VQY3MS strong H533 ; for the people H5971 increased H7227 continually H1980 VQPMS with H854 PREP Absalom H53 .
And there came H935 W-VQY3MS a messenger H5046 to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , saying H559 L-VQFC , The hearts H3820 of the men H376 NMS of Israel H3478 are H1961 VQQ3MS after H310 PREP Absalom H53 .
And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto all H3605 L-CMS his servants H5650 that H834 RPRO [ were ] with H854 PREP-3MS him at Jerusalem H3389 , Arise H6965 , and let us flee H1227 ; for H3588 CONJ we shall H1961 not H3808 NADV [ else ] escape H6413 from Absalom H53 : make speed H4116 to depart H1980 L-VQFC , lest H6435 CONJ he overtake H5381 us suddenly H4116 , and bring H5080 evil H7451 D-AFS upon H5921 PREP-1MP us , and smite H5221 the city H5892 D-GFS with the edge H6310 L-CMS of the sword H2719 GFS .
And the king H4428 D-NMS \'s servants H5650 said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , Behold H2009 IJEC , thy servants H5650 [ are ] [ ready ] [ to ] [ do ] whatsoever H834 RPRO my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS shall appoint H977 .
And the king H4428 D-NMS went forth H3318 W-VQY3MS , and all H3605 W-CMS his household H1004 NMS-3MS after H7272 B-CFD-3MS him . And the king H4428 D-NMS left H5800 ten H6235 MFS women H802 GFP , [ which ] [ were ] concubines H6370 , to keep H8104 L-VQFC the house H1004 .
And the king H4428 D-NMS went forth H3318 W-VQY3MS , and all H3605 W-CMS the people H5971 after H7272 B-CFD-3MS him , and tarried H5975 in a place H1004 that was far off H4801 .
And all H3605 W-CMS his servants H5650 passed on H5674 beside H5921 PREP him ; and all H3605 W-CMS the Cherethites H3774 , and all H3605 W-CMS the Pelethites H6432 , and all H3605 the Gittites H1663 , six H8337 RFS hundred H3967 BFP men H376 NMS which H834 RPRO came H935 VQQ3MP after H7272 him from Gath H1661 , passed on H5674 before H5921 PREP the king H4428 .
Then said H559 W-VQY3MS the king H4428 D-NMS to H413 PREP Ittai H863 the Gittite H1663 , Wherefore H4100 L-IPRO goest H1980 VQY2MS thou H859 PPRO-2MS also H1571 CONJ with H854 PREP-1MP us ? return H7725 VQFC to thy place H4725 , and abide H3427 with H5973 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS : for H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS [ art ] a stranger H5237 AMS , and also H1571 W-CONJ an exile H1540 .
Whereas thou camest H935 [ but ] yesterday H8543 , should I this day H3117 make thee go up H1980 L-VQFC and down H5128 with H5973 PREP-1MP us ? seeing I H589 W-PPRO-1MS go H1980 VQPMS whither H834 RPRO I H589 W-PPRO-1MS may H1980 VQPMS , return H7725 VQFC thou , and take back H7725 thy brethren H251 CMP-2MS : mercy H2617 NMS and truth H571 [ be ] with H5973 PREP-2FS thee .
And Ittai H863 NAME answered H6030 W-VQY3MS the king H4428 D-NMS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , [ As ] the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , and [ as ] my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS liveth H2416 , surely H518 PART in what H834 RPRO place H4725 B-CMS my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS shall be H1961 VQY3MS , whether H518 PART in death H4194 or H518 PART life H2416 , even H3588 CONJ there H8033 also will thy servant H5650 be H1961 VQY3MS .
And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Ittai H863 , Go H1980 VQI2MS and pass over H5674 . And Ittai H863 the Gittite H1663 passed over H5674 , and all H3605 W-CMS his men H376 , and all H3605 W-CMS the little ones H2945 that H834 RPRO [ were ] with H854 PREP-3MS him .
And all H3605 W-CMS the country H776 D-GFS wept H1058 with a loud H1419 AMS voice H6963 CMS , and all H3605 W-CMS the people H5971 passed over H5674 : the king H4428 also himself passed over H5674 the brook H5158 Kidron H6939 , and all H3605 W-CMS the people H5971 passed over H5674 , toward H5921 PREP the way H1870 of the wilderness H4057 D-NMS .
And lo H2009 IJEC Zadok H6659 also H1571 CONJ , and all H3605 NMS the Levites H3881 [ were ] with H854 PREP-3MS him , bearing H5375 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 NFS of God H430 D-EDP : and they set down H3332 the ark H727 of God H430 D-EDP ; and Abiathar H54 went up H5927 W-VHY3MS , until H5704 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 had done H8552 passing H5674 out of H4480 PREP the city H5892 D-GFS .
And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto Zadok H6659 , Carry back H7725 VHFA the ark H727 of God H430 D-EDP into the city H5892 D-GFS : if H518 PART I shall find H4672 VQY1MS favor H2580 NMS in the eyes H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS , he will bring me again H7725 , and show H7200 me [ both ] it , and his habitation H5116 :
But if H518 W-PART he thus H3541 say H559 VQY3MS , I have no H3808 NADV delight H2654 VQQ1MS in thee ; behold H2009 , [ here ] [ am ] I , let him do H6213 to me as H834 K-RPRO seemeth H5869 B-CMD-3MS good H2896 AMS unto him .
The king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS also unto H413 PREP Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 , [ Art ] [ not ] thou H859 PPRO-2MS a seer H7200 ? return H7725 into the city H5892 D-GFS in peace H7965 , and your two H8147 ONUM sons H1121 with H854 you , Ahimaaz H290 thy son H1121 , and Jonathan H3083 the son H1121 of Abiathar H54 .
See H7200 , I H595 PPRO-1MS will tarry H4102 in the plain H6160 of the wilderness H4057 D-NMS , until H5704 PREP there come H935 VQFC word H1697 NMS from you to certify H5046 L-VHFC me .
Zadok H6659 therefore and Abiathar H54 carried H7725 W-VHY3MS the ark H727 of God H430 D-EDP again to Jerusalem H3389 : and they tarried H3427 W-VQY3MP there H8033 ADV .
And David H1732 went up H5927 by the ascent H4608 of [ mount ] Olivet H2132 , and wept H1058 as he went up H5927 , and had his head H7218 covered H2645 , and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS went H1980 barefoot H3182 : and all H3605 W-CMS the people H5971 that H834 RPRO [ was ] with H854 PREP-3MS him covered H2645 every man H376 NMS his head H7218 CMS-3MS , and they went up H5927 , weeping H1058 as they went up H5927 .
And [ one ] told H5046 VHQ3MS David H1732 , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Ahithophel H302 [ is ] among the conspirators H7194 with H5973 PREP Absalom H53 . And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , O LORD H3068 NAME-4MS , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , turn the counsel H6098 CFS of Ahithophel H302 into foolishness H5528 .
And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , that [ when ] David H1732 was come H935 VQPMS to H5704 PREP the top H7218 [ of ] [ the ] [ mount ] , where H834 RPRO he worshiped H7812 God H430 , behold H2009 IJEC , Hushai H2365 the Archite H757 came to meet H7125 L-VQFC-3MS him with his coat H3801 rent H7167 , and earth H127 upon H5921 PREP his head H7218 CMP-3MS :
Unto whom David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , If H518 PART thou passest on H5674 with H854 PREP-1MS me , then thou shalt be H1961 a burden H4853 unto H5921 PREP-1MS me :
But if H518 W-PART thou return H7725 VQY2MS to the city H5892 D-GFS , and say H559 unto Absalom H53 , I H589 PPRO-1MS will be H1961 VQY1MS thy servant H5650 , O king H4428 D-NMS ; [ as ] I H589 PPRO-1MS [ have ] [ been ] thy father H1 NMS \'s servant H5650 NMS hitherto H227 , so [ will ] I H589 PPRO-1MS now H6258 W-ADV also [ be ] thy servant H5650 : then mayest thou for me defeat H6565 the counsel H6098 CFS of Ahithophel H302 .
And [ hast ] [ thou ] not H3808 there H8033 ADV with H5973 PREP-2MS thee Zadok H6659 and Abiathar H54 the priests H3548 ? therefore it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , [ that ] what H3605 NMS thing H1697 D-NMS soever H834 RPRO thou shalt hear H8085 out of the king\'s house H1004 , thou shalt tell H5046 [ it ] to Zadok H6659 and Abiathar H54 the priests H3548 .
Behold H2009 IJEC , [ they ] [ have ] there H8033 ADV with H5973 PREP-3MP them their two H8147 ONUM sons H1121 CMP-3MP , Ahimaaz H290 Zadok H6659 \'s [ son ] , and Jonathan H3083 Abiathar H54 \'s [ son ] ; and by H3027 them ye shall send H7971 unto H413 PREP-1MS me every H3605 NMS thing H1697 VQPMS that H834 RPRO ye can hear H8085 .
