2 Samuel 17:21-29

21It cameH1961 aboutH1961 afterH310 they had departedH1980, that they cameH5927 upH5927 out of the wellH875 and wentH1980 and reportedH5046 to KingH4428 DavidH1732; and they saidH559 to DavidH1732, “1SetH6965 outH6965 and crossH5674 overH5674 the waterH4325 quicklyH4120, becauseH3588 thisH3602 isH3602 whatH3602 AhithophelH302 has advisedH3289 againstH5921 you.” 22Then DavidH1732 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him setH6965 outH6965 and crossedH5674 the JordanH3383; by 2dawnH216H1242 not evenH5704 oneH259 remainedH5737 whoH834 had not crossedH5674 the JordanH3383.

23Now whenH3512 AhithophelH302 sawH7200 that his adviceH6098 had not been 3followedH6213, he saddledH2280 his donkeyH2543 and setH6965 outH6965 and wentH1980 to his homeH1004, to 4his cityH5892, and 56setH6680 his houseH1004 inH6680 orderH6680, and 7hangedH2614 himself; so he diedH4191 and was buriedH6912 in his father’sH1 graveH6913.

24Then DavidH1732 cameH935 to 8MahanaimH4266. And AbsalomH53 crossedH5674 the JordanH3383, he and allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 with him. 25AbsalomH53 putH7760 9AmasaH6021 10inH5921 commandH5921 ofH5921 the armyH6635 inH8478 placeH8478 ofH8478 JoabH3097. Now AmasaH6021 was the sonH1121 of a manH376 whose nameH8034 was 11IthraH3501 the IsraeliteH3481, whoH834 12hadH935 relationsH935 withH935 AbigailH26 the daughterH1323 of 13NahashH5176, sisterH269 of ZeruiahH6870, Joab’sH3097 motherH517. 26And IsraelH3478 and AbsalomH53 campedH2583 in the landH776 of GileadH1568.

27Now when DavidH1732 had comeH935 to MahanaimH4266, ShobiH7629 14the sonH1121 of NahashH5176 from 15RabbahH7237 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, 16MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988 from Lo-debarH3810, and 17BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569 from RogelimH7274, 28broughtH5066 18bedsH4904, basinsH5592, potteryH3627, wheatH2406, barleyH8184, flourH7058, roastedH7039 grain, beansH6321, lentilsH5742, roastedH7039 seeds, 29honeyH1706, curdsH2529, sheepH6629, and cheeseH8194 of the herdH1241, for DavidH1732 and the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him, 19to eatH398. For they saidH559, “The peopleH5971 are hungryH7457 and exhaustedH5889 and thirstyH6771 in the wildernessH4057.”
