- It happened after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
- Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. It was so, that when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, "What city are you from?" He said, "Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel."
- Absalom said to him, "Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you."
- Absalom said moreover, "Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!"
- It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
- Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
- It happened at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Yahweh, in Hebron.
- For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, 'If Yahweh shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Yahweh.'"
- The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose, and went to Hebron.
- But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, 'Absalom is king in Hebron!'"
- Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn't know anything.
- Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
- A messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom."
- David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."
- The king's servants said to the king, "Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses."
- The king went forth, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
- The king went forth, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
- All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
- Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner, and also an exile. Return to your own place.
- Whereas you came but yesterday, should I this day make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you."
- Ittai answered the king, and said, "As Yahweh lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king shall is, whether for death or for life, even there also will your servant be."
- David said to Ittai, "Go and pass over." Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
- 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.
- Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites 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 finished passing out of the city.
- The king said to Zadok, "Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Yahweh, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation;
- but if he say thus, 'I have no delight in you;' behold, here am I. Let him do to me as seems good to him."
- The king said also to Zadok the priest, "Aren't you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
- Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness, until word comes from you to inform me."
- Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem; and they stayed there.
- David went up by the ascent of the [Mount of] Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people who were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
- Someone told David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." David said, "Yahweh, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness."
- It happened that when David had come to the top [of the ascent], where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.
- David said to him, "If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
- but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, 'I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father's servant in time past, so will I now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.'
- Don't you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing you shall hear out of the king's house, you shall tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
- Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son; and by them you shall send to me everything that you shall hear."
- So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

- ויהי מאחרי כן ויעש לו אבשלום מרכבה וססים וחמשים איש רצים לפניו׃
- והשכים אבשלום ועמד על־יד דרך השער ויהי כל־האיש אשר־יהיה־לו־ריב לבוא אל־המלך למשפט ויקרא אבשלום אליו ויאמר אי־מזה עיר אתה ויאמר מאחד שבטי־ישראל עבדך׃
- ויאמר אליו אבשלום ראה דברך טובים ונכחים ושמע אין־לך מאת המלך׃
- ויאמר אבשלום מי־ישמני שפט בארץ ועלי יבוא כל־איש אשר־יהיה־לו־ריב ומשפט והצדקתיו׃
- והיה בקרב־איש להשתחות לו ושלח את־ידו והחזיק לו ונשק לו׃
- ויעש אבשלום כדבר הזה לכל־ישראל אשר־יבאו למשפט אל־המלך ויגנב אבשלום את־לב אנשי ישראל׃ ף
- ויהי מקץ ארבעים שנה ויאמר אבשלום אל־המלך אלכה נא ואשלם את־נדרי אשר־נדרתי ליהוה בחברון׃
- כי־נדר נדר עבדך בשבתי בגשור בארם לאמר אם־ ישיבני יהוה ירושלם ועבדתי את־יהוה׃
- ויאמר־לו המלך לך בשלום ויקם וילך חברונה׃ ף
- וישלח אבשלום מרגלים בכל־שבטי ישראל לאמר כשמעכם את־קול השפר ואמרתם מלך אבשלום בחברון׃
- ואת־אבשלום הלכו מאתים איש מירושלם קראים והלכים לתםם ולא ידעו כל־דבר׃
- וישלח אבשלום את־אחיתפל הגילני יועץ דוד מעירו מגלה בזבחו את־הזבחים ויהי הקשר אמץ והעם הולך ורב את־אבשלום׃
- ויבא המגיד אל־דוד לאמר היה לב־איש ישראל אחרי אבשלום׃
- ויאמר דוד לכל־עבדיו אשר־אתו בירושלם קומו ונברחה כי לא־תהיה־לנו פליטה מפני אבשלום מהרו ללכת פן־ימהר והשגנו והדיח עלינו את־הרעה והכה העיר לפי־חרב׃
- ויאמרו עבדי־המלך אל־המלך ככל אשר־יבחר אדני המלך הנה עבדיך׃
- ויצא המלך וכל־ביתו ברגליו ויעזב המלך את עשר נשים פלגשים לשמר הבית׃
- ויצא המלך וכל־העם ברגליו ויעמדו בית המרחק׃
- וכל־עבדיו עברים על־ידו וכל־הכרתי וכל־הפלתי וכל־הגתים שש־מאות איש אשר־באו ברגלו מגת עברים על־פני המלך׃
- ויאמר המלך אל־אתי הגתי למה תלך גם־אתה אתנו שוב ושב עם־המלך כי־נכרי אתה וגם־גלה אתה למקומך׃
- תמול בואך והיום עמנו ללכת ואני הולך על אשר־אני הולך שוב והשב את־אחיך עמך חסד ואמת׃
- ויען אתי את־המלך ויאמר חי־יהוה וחי אדני המלך כי אם־במקום אשר יהיה־שם אדני המלך אם־למות אם־לחיים כי־שם יהיה עבדך׃
- ויאמר דוד אל־אתי לך ועבר ויעבר אתי הגתי וכל־אנשיו וכל־הטף אשר אתו׃
- וכל־הארץ בוכים קול גדול וכל־העם עברים והמלך עבר בנחל קדרון וכל־העם עברים על־פני־דרך את־המדבר׃
- והנה גם־צדוק וכל־הלוים אתו נשאים את־ארון ברית האלהים ויצקו את־ארון האלהים ויעל אביתר עד־תם כל־העם לעבור מן־העיר׃
- ויאמר המלך לצדוק השב את־ארון האלהים העיר אם־אמצא חן בעיני יהוה והשבני והראני אתו ואת־נוהו׃
- ואם כה יאמר לא חפצתי בך הנני יעשה־לי כאשר טוב בעיניו׃ ס
- ויאמר המלך אל־צדוק הכהן הרואה אתה שבה העיר בשלום ואחימעץ בנך ויהונתן בן־אביתר שני בניכם אתכם׃
- ראו אנכי מתמהמה המדבר עד בוא דבר מעםכם להגיד לי׃
- וישב צדוק ואביתר את־ארון האלהים ירושלם וישבו שם׃
- ודוד עלה במעלה הזיתים עלה ובוכה וראש לו חפוי והוא הלך יחף וכל־העם אשר־אתו חפו איש ראשו ועלו עלה ובכה׃
- ודוד הגיד לאמר אחיתפל בקשרים עם־אבשלום ויאמר דוד סכל־נא את־עצת אחיתפל יהוה׃
- ויהי דוד בא עד־הראש אשר־ישתחוה שם לאלהים והנה לקראתו חושי הארכי קרוע כתנתו ואדמה על־ראשו׃
- ויאמר לו דוד אם עברת אתי והית עלי למשא׃
- ואם־העיר תשוב ואמרת לאבשלום עבדך אני המלך אהיה עבד אביך ואני מאז ועתה ואני עבדך והפרתה לי את עצת אחיתפל׃
- והלוא עמך שם צדוק ואביתר הכהנים והיה כל־הדבר אשר תשמע מבית המלך תגיד לצדוק ולאביתר הכהנים׃
- הנה־שם עםם שני בניהם אחימעץ לצדוק ויהונתן לאביתר ושלחתם בידם אלי כל־דבר אשר תשמעו׃
- ויבא חושי רעה דוד העיר ואבשלם יבא ירושלם׃

- Igitur post hæc fecit sibi Absalom currus, et equites, et quinquaginta viros, qui præcederent eum.
- Et mane consurgens Absalom, stabat juxta introitum portæ, et omnem virum, qui habebat negotium ut veniret ad regis judicium, vocabat Absalom ad se, et dicebat : De qua civitate es tu ? Qui respondens aiebat : Ex una tribu Israël ego sum servus tuus.
- Respondebatque ei Absalom : Videntur mihi sermones tui boni et justi. Sed non est qui te audiat constitutus a rege. Dicebatque Absalom :
- Quis me constituat judicem super terram, ut ad me veniant omnes qui habent negotium, et juste judicem ?
- Sed et cum accederet ad eum homo ut salutaret illum, extendebat manum suam, et apprehendens, osculabatur eum.
- Faciebatque hoc omni Israël venienti ad judicium, ut audiretur a rege, et sollicitabat corda virorum Israël.
- Post quadraginta autem annos, dixit Absalom ad regem David : Vadam, et reddam vota mea quæ vovi Domino in Hebron.
- Vovens enim vovit servus tuus, cum esset in Gessur Syriæ, dicens : Si reduxerit me Dominus in Jerusalem, sacrificabo Domino.
- Dixitque ei rex David : Vade in pace. Et surrexit, et abiit in Hebron.
- Misit autem Absalom exploratores in universas tribus Israël, dicens : Statim ut audieritis clangorem buccinæ, dicite : Regnavit Absalom in Hebron.
- Porro cum Absalom ierunt ducenti viri de Jerusalem vocati, euntes simplici corde, et causam penitus ignorantes.
- Accersivit quoque Absalom Achitophel Gilonitem consiliarium David, de civitate sua Gilo. Cumque immolaret victimas, facta est conjuratio valida, populusque concurrens augebatur cum Absalom.
- Venit igitur nuntius ad David, dicens : Toto corde universus Israël sequitur Absalom.
- Et ait David servis suis qui erant cum eo in Jerusalem : Surgite, fugiamus : neque enim erit nobis effugium a facie Absalom : festinate egredi, ne forte veniens occupet nos, et impellat super nos ruinam, et percutiat civitatem in ore gladii.
- Dixeruntque servi regis ad eum : Omnia quæcumque præceperit dominus noster rex, libenter exequemur servi tui.
- Egressus est ergo rex, et universa domus ejus pedibus suis : et dereliquit rex decem mulieres concubinas ad custodiendam domum.
- Egressusque rex et omnis Israël pedibus suis, stetit procul a domo :
- et universi servi ejus ambulabant juxta eum, et legiones Cerethi, et Phelethi, et omnes Gethæi, pugnatores validi, sexcenti viri, qui secuti eum fuerant de Geth pedites, præcedebant regem.
- Dixit autem rex ad Ethai Gethæum : Cur venis nobiscum ? revertere, et habita cum rege, quia peregrinus es, et egressus es de loco tuo.
- Heri venisti, et hodie compelleris nobiscum egredi ? Ego autem vadam quo iturus sum : revertere, et reduc tecum fratres tuos, et Dominus faciet tecum misericordiam, et veritatem, quia ostendisti gratiam et fidem.
- Et respondit Ethai regi dicens : Vivit Dominus, et vivit dominus meus rex : Quoniam in quocumque loco fueris domine mi rex, sive in morte, sive in vita, ibi erit servus tuus.
- Et ait David Ethai : Veni, et transi. Et transivit Ethai Gethæus, et omnes viri qui cum eo erant, et reliqua multitudo.
- Omnesque flebant voce magna, et universus populus transibat : rex quoque transgrediebatur torrentem Cedron, et cunctus populus incedebat contra viam, quæ respicit ad desertum.
- Venit autem et Sadoc sacerdos, et universi Levitæ cum eo portantes arcam fœderis Dei : et deposuerunt arcam Dei : et ascendit Abiathar, donec expletus esset omnis populus, qui egressus fuerat de civitate.
- Et dixit rex ad Sadoc : Reporta arcam Dei in urbem : si invenero gratiam in oculis Domini, reducet me, et ostendet mihi eam, et tabernaculum suum.
- Si autem dixerit mihi : Non places : præsto sum, faciat quod bonum est coram se.
- Et dixit rex ad Sadoc sacerdotem : O videns, revertere in civitatem in pace : et Achimaas filius tuus, et Jonathas filius Abiathar, duo filii vestri, sint vobiscum.
- Ecce ego abscondar in campestribus deserti, donec veniat sermo a vobis indicans mihi.
- Reportaverunt ergo Sadoc et Abiathar arcam Dei in Jerusalem : et manserunt ibi.
- Porro David ascendebat clivum Olivarum, scandens et flens, nudis pedibus incedens, et operto capite, sed et omnis populus, qui erat cum eo, operto capite, ascendebat plorans.
- Nuntiatum est autem David quod et Achitophel esset in conjuratione cum Absalom, dixitque David : Infatua, quæso, Domine, consilium Achitophel.
- Cumque ascenderet David summitatem montis, in quo adoraturus erat Dominum, ecce occurrit ei Chusai Arachites, scissa veste, et terra pleno capite.
- Et dixit ei David : Si veneris mecum, eris mihi oneri :
- si autem in civitatem revertaris, et dixeris Absalom : Servus tuus sum, rex : sicut fui servus patris tui, sic ero servus tuus : dissipabis consilium Achitophel.
- Habes autem tecum Sadoc et Abiathar sacerdotes : et omne verbum quodcumque audieris de domo regis, indicabis Sadoc et Abiathar sacerdotibus.
- Sunt autem cum eis duo filii eorum Achimaas filius Sadoc, et Jonathas filius Abiathar : et mittetis per eos ad me omne verbum quod audieritis.
- Veniente ergo Chusai amico David in civitatem, Absalom quoque ingressus est Jerusalem.

- And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
- 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.
- And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
- 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.
- 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.
- And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counseller, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
- And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
- 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.
- And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
- And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
- And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 shew me both it, and his habitation:
- 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.
- 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.
- See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
- Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
