  • 2SA-15:1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared

  • him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-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!







  • 2SA-15:5 And it was [so], that when any man came night [to him]

  • to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and

  • kissed him.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-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 the LORD, in Hebron.







  • 2SA-15:8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in

  • Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to

  • Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.







  • 2SA-15:9 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose,

  • and went to Hebron.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-15:13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The

  • hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-15:15 And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold,

  • thy servants [are ready to do] whatsoever my lord the king shall

  • appoint.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-15:17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him,

  • and tarried in a place that was far off.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-15:21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, [As] the LORD

  • liveth, and [as] my lord the king liveth, surely in what place

  • my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there

  • also will thy servant be.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-15:24 And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites [were] with him,

  • bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the

  • ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done

  • passing out of the city.







  • 2SA-15:25 And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of

  • God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the

  • LORD, he will bring me again, and show me [both] it, and his

  • habitation:







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-15:28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness,

  • until there come word from you to certify me.







  • 2SA-15:29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God

  • again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-15:31 And [one] told David, saying, Ahithophel [is] among

  • the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray

  • thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.







  • 2SA-15:32 And it came to pass, that [when] David was come to the

  • top [of the mount], where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the

  • Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his

  • head:







  • 2SA-15:33 Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then

  • thou shalt be a burden unto me:







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-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.







  • 2SA-15:37 So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and

  • Absalom came into Jerusalem.
