2 Samuel 17:21-29
21It cameH1961 about afterH310 they had departedH1980 that they cameH5927 up out of the wellH875 and wentH1980 and toldH5046 KingH4428 DavidH1732; and they saidH559 to DavidH1732, “1AriseH6965 and crossH5674 overH5674 the waterH4325 quicklyH4120 for thusH3602 AhithophelH302 has counseledH3289 againstH5921 you.” 22Then DavidH1732 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him aroseH6965 and crossedH5674 the JordanH3383; and by 2dawnH216H1242 not evenH5704 oneH259 remainedH5737 whoH834 had not crossedH5674 the JordanH3383.
23Now whenH3512 AhithophelH302 sawH7200 that his counselH6098 was not 3followedH6213, he 4saddledH2280 his donkeyH2543 and aroseH6965 and wentH1980 to his homeH1004, to 5his cityH5892, and 67setH6680 his houseH1004 in orderH6680, and 8strangledH2614 himself; thus he diedH4191 and was buriedH6912 in the graveH6913 of his fatherH1.
24Then DavidH1732 cameH935 to 9MahanaimH4266. And AbsalomH53 crossedH5674 the JordanH3383, he and allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 with him. 25AbsalomH53 setH7760 10AmasaH6021 overH5921 the armyH6635 in placeH8478 of JoabH3097. Now AmasaH6021 was the sonH1121 of a manH376 whose nameH8034 was 11IthraH3501 the IsraeliteH3481, whoH834 wentH935 in to AbigailH26 the daughterH1323 of 12NahashH5176, sisterH269 of ZeruiahH6870, Joab’sH3097 motherH517. 26And IsraelH3478 and AbsalomH53 campedH2583 in the landH776 of GileadH1568.
27Now when DavidH1732 had comeH935 to MahanaimH4266, ShobiH7629 13the sonH1121 of NahashH5176 from 14RabbahH7237 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, 15MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988 from Lo-debarH3810, and 16BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569 from RogelimH7274, 28broughtH5066 17bedsH4904, basinsH5592, potteryH3627, wheatH2406, barleyH8184, flourH7058, parchedH7039 grain, beansH6321, lentilsH5742, parchedH7039 seeds, 29honeyH1706, curdsH2529, sheepH6629, and cheeseH8194 of the herdH1241, for DavidH1732 and for the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him, 18to eatH398; for they saidH559, “The peopleH5971 are hungryH7457 and wearyH5889 and thirstyH6771 in the wildernessH4057.”
