And I will bring backh7725h8686 all the peopleh5971 unto thee: the manh376 whom thou seekesth1245h8764 is as if all returnedh7725h8800: so all the peopleh5971 shall be in peaceh7965.

Therefore I counselh3289h8804 that all Israelh3478 be generallyh622h8736 gatheredh622h8735 unto thee, from Danh1835 even to Beershebah884, as the sandh2344 that is by the seah3220 for multitudeh7230; and that thou goh1980h8802 to battleh7128 in thine own personh6440. that thou...: Heb. that thy face, or, presence go, etc

And Absalomh53 and all the menh376 of Israelh3478 saidh559h8799, The counselh6098 of Hushaih2365 the Architeh757 is betterh2896 than the counselh6098 of Ahithophelh302. For the LORDh3068 had appointedh6680h8765 to defeath6565h8687 the goodh2896 counselh6098 of Ahithophelh302, to the intenth5668 that the LORDh3068 might bringh935h8687 evilh7451 upon Absalomh53. appointed: Heb. commanded

Then saidh559h8799 Hushaih2365 unto Zadokh6659 and to Abiatharh54 the priestsh3548, Thus and thus did Ahithophelh302 counselh3289h8804 Absalomh53 and the eldersh2205 of Israelh3478; and thus and thus have I counselledh3289h8804.

16

Now therefore sendh7971h8798 quicklyh4120, and tellh5046h8685 Davidh1732, sayingh559h8800, Lodgeh3885h8799 not this nighth3915 in the plainsh6160h8675h5679 of the wildernessh4057, but speedilyh5674h8800 pass overh5674h8799; lest the kingh4428 be swallowed uph1104h8792, and all the peopleh5971 that are with him.

17

Now Jonathanh3083 and Ahimaazh290 stayedh5975h8802 by Enrogelh5883; for they mighth3201h8799 not be seenh7200h8736 to comeh935h8800 into the cityh5892: and a wenchh8198 wenth1980h8804 and toldh5046h8689 them; and they wenth3212h8799 and toldh5046h8689 kingh4428 Davidh1732.

18

Nevertheless a ladh5288 sawh7200h8799 them, and toldh5046h8686 Absalomh53: but they wenth3212h8799 bothh8147 of them away quicklyh4120, and cameh935h8799 to a man'sh376 househ1004 in Bahurimh980, which had a wellh875 in his courth2691; whitherh8033 they went downh3381h8799.

19

And the womanh802 tookh3947h8799 and spreadh6566h8799 a coveringh4539 over the well'sh875 mouthh6440, and spreadh7849h8799 ground cornh7383 thereon; and the thingh1697 was not knownh3045h8738.

20

And when Absalom'sh53 servantsh5650 cameh935h8799 to the womanh802 to the househ1004, they saidh559h8799, Where is Ahimaazh290 and Jonathanh3083? And the womanh802 saidh559h8799 unto them, They be gone overh5674h8804 the brookh4323 of waterh4325. And when they had soughth1245h8762 and could not findh4672h8804 them , they returnedh7725h8799 to Jerusalemh3389.

21

And it came to pass, afterh310 they were departedh3212h8800, that they came uph5927h8799 out of the wellh875, and wenth3212h8799 and toldh5046h8686 kingh4428 Davidh1732, and saidh559h8799 unto Davidh1732, Ariseh6965h8798, and pass quicklyh4120 overh5674h8798 the waterh4325: for thus hath Ahithophelh302 counselledh3289h8804 against you.

22

Then Davidh1732 aroseh6965h8799, and all the peopleh5971 that were with him, and they passed overh5674h8799 Jordanh3383: by the morningh1242 lighth216 there lackedh5737h8738 not oneh259 of them that was not gone overh5674h8804 Jordanh3383.

23

And when Ahithophelh302 sawh7200h8804 that his counselh6098 was not followedh6213h8738, he saddledh2280h8799 his assh2543, and aroseh6965h8799, and gat him homeh3212h8799 to his househ1004, to his cityh5892, and put his householdh1004 in orderh6680h8762, and hangedh2614h8735 himself, and diedh4191h8799, and was buriedh6912h8735 in the sepulchreh6913 of his fatherh1. followed: Heb. done
put his...: Heb. gave charge concerning his house

24

Then Davidh1732 cameh935h8804 to Mahanaimh4266. And Absalomh53 passed overh5674h8804 Jordanh3383, he and all the menh376 of Israelh3478 with him.

25

And Absalomh53 madeh7760h8804 Amasah6021 captain of the hosth6635 instead of Joabh3097: which Amasah6021 was a man'sh376 sonh1121, whose nameh8034 was Ithrah3501 an Israeliteh3481, that went inh935h8804 to Abigailh26 the daughterh1323 of Nahashh5176, sisterh269 to Zeruiahh6870 Joab'sh3097 motherh517.

Broughth5066h8689 bedsh4904, and basonsh5592, and earthenh3335h8802 vesselsh3627, and wheath2406, and barleyh8184, and flourh7058, and parchedh7039 corn , and beansh6321, and lentilesh5742, and parchedh7039 pulse , basons: or, cups
