2 Samuel 15:5-13
5And when a manH376 cameH7126 nearH7126 to prostrateH7812 himself before him, he would putH7971 out his handH3027 and takeH2388 holdH2388 of him and 1kissH5401 him. 6In thisH2088 mannerH1697 AbsalomH53 dealtH6213 with allH3605 IsraelH3478 whoH834 cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941; 2so AbsalomH53 stoleH1589 awayH1589 the heartsH3820 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478.
7Now it cameH1961 about at the endH7093 of 3fortyH705 yearsH8141 that AbsalomH53 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “PleaseH4994 let me goH1980 and payH7999 my vowH5088 whichH834 I have vowedH5087 to the LordH3068, in 4HebronH2275. 8For your servantH5650 5vowedH5087 a vowH5088 while I was livingH3427 at GeshurH1650 in AramH758, sayingH559, ‘6IfH518 the LordH3068 shall indeedH7725 bringH7725 me backH7725 to JerusalemH3389, then I will serveH5647 the LordH3068.’” 9The kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “GoH1980 in peaceH7965.” So he aroseH6965 and wentH1980 to HebronH2275. 10But AbsalomH53 sentH7971 spiesH7270 throughout allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “As soon as you hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, then you shall sayH559, ‘7AbsalomH53 is kingH4427 in HebronH2275.’” 11Then two hundredH3967 menH376 wentH1980 with AbsalomH53 from JerusalemH3389, 8who were invitedH7121 and 9wentH1980 10innocentlyH8537, and they did not knowH3045 anythingH3605H1697. 12And AbsalomH53 sentH7971 for 11AhithophelH302 the GiloniteH1526, David’sH1732 counselorH3289, from his cityH5892 12GilohH1542, while he was offeringH2076 the sacrificesH2077. And the conspiracyH7195 was strongH533, for 13the peopleH5971 increasedH7227 continuallyH1980 with AbsalomH53.
13Then a messengerH5046 cameH935 to DavidH1732, sayingH559, “14The heartsH3820 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 are 15with AbsalomH53.”
