2 Samuel 15:24-37

24Now beholdH2009, 1ZadokH6659 alsoH1571 came, and allH3605 the LevitesH3881 with him, 2carryingH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430. And they setH3322 downH3322 the arkH727 of GodH430, and 3AbiatharH54 cameH5927 upH5927 untilH5704 allH3605 the peopleH5971 had finishedH8552 crossingH5674 overH5674 from the cityH5892. 25And the kingH4428 saidH559 to ZadokH6659, “ReturnH7725 the arkH727 of GodH430 to the cityH5892. IfH518 I findH4672 favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, then 4He will bringH7725 me backH7725 and showH7200 me both it and 5His habitationH5116. 26But ifH518 He saysH559 thisH3541: ‘6I haveH2654 noH3808 delightH2654 in you,’ then hereH2009 I am, 7let Him doH6213 to me as seems goodH2895 8to Him.” 27The kingH4428 also saidH559 to ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, “Are you not 9a seerH7203? ReturnH7725 to the cityH5892 in peaceH7965, and your 10twoH8147 sonsH1121 with you, your sonH1121 AhimaazH290 and JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54. 28SeeH7200, I am going to waitH4102 11at the riverH5679 crossingH5679 placesH5679 of the wildernessH4057 untilH5704 wordH1697 comesH935 from you to informH5046 me.” 29So ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 returnedH7725 the arkH727 of GodH430 to JerusalemH3389 and remainedH3427 thereH8033.

30And DavidH1732 was goingH5927 upH5927 the ascentH4608 of the Mount of OlivesH2132, weepingH1058 as he wentH5927, and 12his headH7218 was coveredH2645, and he was walkingH1980 13barefootH3182. Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him eachH376 coveredH2645 his own headH7218, and they were goingH5927 upH5927, weepingH1058 as they wentH5927. 31Now someone informedH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, “14AhithophelH302 is among the conspiratorsH7194 with AbsalomH53.” And DavidH1732 saidH559, “LordH3068, pleaseH4994 15makeH5528 the adviceH6098 of AhithophelH302 foolishH5528.”

32It happenedH1961 as DavidH1732 was comingH935 to the summitH7218, whereH834H8033 GodH430 was worshipedH2331, that beholdH2009, HushaiH2365 the 16ArchiteH757 metH7122 him with his 17coatH3801 tornH7167, and 18dustH127 on his headH7218. 33And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “IfH518 you goH5674 overH5674 with me, then you will becomeH1961 19a burdenH4853 to me. 34But ifH518 you returnH7725 to the cityH5892 and 20sayH559 to AbsalomH53, ‘I will be your servantH5650, O kingH4428; even as I was your father’sH1 servantH5650 in timeH227 pastH3975, so nowH6258 I will also be your servantH5650,’ then you can foilH6565 the adviceH6098 of AhithophelH302 for me. 35Are ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548 not with you thereH8033? So it shall be that 21whateverH3605H1697H834 you hearH8085 from the king’sH4428 houseH1004, you shall reportH5046 to ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548. 36BeholdH2009 22their twoH8147 sonsH1121 are thereH8033 with them, AhimaazH290, Zadok’sH6659 son and JonathanH3083, Abiathar’sH54 son; and 23by them you shall sendH7971 me everythingH3605 that you hearH8085.” 37So HushaiH2365, 24David’sH1732 friendH7463, cameH935 into the cityH5892, and 25AbsalomH53 cameH935 into JerusalemH3389.
