2 Samuel 17:17-29

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.

24Then DavidH1732 cameH935 to MahanaimH4266. And AbsalomH53 passedH5674 over the JordanH3383, he and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 with him. 25And AbsalomH53 setH7760 AmasaH6021 over the hostH6635 instead of JoabH3097. Now AmasaH6021 was the sonH1121 of a manH376, whose nameH8034 was Ithra the IsraeliteH3481, that wentH935 in to Abigal the daughterH1323 of NahashH5176, sisterH269 to ZeruiahH6870, Joab’s motherH517. 26And IsraelH3478 and AbsalomH53 encampedH2583 in the landH776 of GileadH1568.

27And it cameH935 to pass, when DavidH1732 wasH1961 comeH935 to MahanaimH4266, that Shobi the sonH1121 of NahashH5176 of RabbahH7237 of the children of AmmonH5983, and Machir the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988 of Lo-debarH3810, and BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569 of RogelimH7274, 28brought bedsH4904, and basinsH5592, and earthen vesselsH3627, and wheatH2406, and barleyH8184, and meal, and parched grainH7039, and beansH6321, and lentilsH5742, and parched pulse, 29and honeyH1706, and butter, and sheepH6629, and cheese of the herdH1241, for DavidH1732, and for the peopleH5971 that were with him, to eatH398: for they saidH559, The peopleH5971 are hungryH7457, and wearyH5889, and thirstyH6771, in the wildernessH4057.
