2 Samuel 15:32-37

32It happenedH1961 as DavidH1732 was comingH935 to the summitH7218, whereH834 H8033 GodH430 was worshipedH2331, that beholdH2009, HushaiH2365 the 1ArchiteH757 metH7122 him with his 2coatH3801 tornH7167, and 3dustH127 on his headH7218.

33And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “IfH518 you goH5674 overH5674 with me, then you will becomeH1961 4a burdenH4853 to me.

34But ifH518 you returnH7725 to the cityH5892 and 5sayH559 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 6whateverH3605 H1697 H834 you hearH8085 from the king’sH4428 houseH1004, you shall reportH5046 to ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548.

36BeholdH2009 7their twoH8147 sonsH1121 are thereH8033 with them, AhimaazH290, Zadok’sH6659 son and JonathanH3083, Abiathar’sH54 son; and 8by them you shall sendH7971 me everythingH3605 that you hearH8085.”

37So HushaiH2365, 9David’sH1732 friendH7463, cameH935 into the cityH5892, and 10AbsalomH53 cameH935 into JerusalemH3389.
