2 Samuel 17:14-23

14And AbsalomH53 and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, The counselH6098 of HushaiH2365 the Archite is betterH2896 than the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302. For Jehovah had ordained to defeat the goodH2896 counselH6098 of AhithophelH302, to the intent that Jehovah might bringH935 evilH7451 upon AbsalomH53.

15Then saidH559 HushaiH2365 unto ZadokH6659 and to AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548, Thus and thus did AhithophelH302 counselH3289 AbsalomH53 and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and thus and thus have I counselled. 16NowH6258 thereforeH6258 sendH7971 quicklyH4120, and tellH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, Lodge not this nightH3915 at the fords of the wildernessH4057, but by all means passH5674 over; lestH6435 the kingH4428 be swallowedH1104 up, and all the peopleH5971 that are with him. 17Now JonathanH3083 and AhimaazH290 were staying by En-rogelH5883; and a maid-servant used to goH1980 and tellH5046 them; and they wentH1980 and toldH5046 kingH4428 DavidH1732: for they might not be seenH7200 to comeH935 into the cityH5892. 18But a ladH5288 sawH7200 them, and toldH5046 AbsalomH53: and they wentH935 both of them away quicklyH4120, and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of a manH376 in BahurimH980, who had a wellH875 in his courtH2691; and they wentH935 downH3381 thither. 19And the womanH802 tookH3947 and spreadH6566 the coveringH4539 over the well’s mouth, and strewed bruised grain thereon; and nothing was knownH3045. 20And Absalom’s servantsH5650 cameH935 to the womanH802 to the houseH1004; and they saidH559, WhereH346 are AhimaazH290 and JonathanH3083? And the womanH802 saidH559 unto them, They are goneH935 over the brook of waterH4325. And when they had soughtH1245 and could not findH4672 them, they returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.

21And it came to passH5674, after they wereH1961 departed, that they came up out of the wellH875, and wentH5927 and toldH5046 kingH4428 DavidH1732; and they saidH559 unto DavidH1732, AriseH6965 ye, and passH5674 quicklyH4120 over the waterH4325; for thusH3602 hath AhithophelH302 counselled against you. 22Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965, and all the peopleH5971 that were with him, and they passedH5674 over the JordanH3383: by the morningH1242 lightH216 there lacked not oneH259 of them that was not gone over the JordanH3383. 23And when AhithophelH302 sawH7200 that his counselH6098 was not followed, he saddledH2280 his ass, and aroseH6965, and gat him home, unto his cityH5892, and setH6965 his houseH1004 in order, and hanged himself; and he diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in the sepulchre of his fatherH1.
