2 Samuel 17:17-29

17Now JonathanH3083 and AhimaazH290 stayedH5975 by En–rogelH5883; for they mightH3201 not be seenH7200 to comeH935 into the cityH5892: and a wenchH8198 wentH1980 and toldH5046 them; and they wentH3212 and toldH5046 kingH4428 DavidH1732. 18Nevertheless a ladH5288 sawH7200 them, and toldH5046 AbsalomH53: but they wentH3212 bothH8147 of them away quicklyH4120, and cameH935 to a man’sH376 houseH1004 in BahurimH980, which had a wellH875 in his courtH2691; whitherH8033 they went downH3381. 19And the womanH802 tookH3947 and spreadH6566 a coveringH4539 over the well’sH875 mouthH6440, and spreadH7849 ground wheatH7383 thereon; and the thingH1697 was not knownH3045. 20And when Absalom’sH53 servantsH5650 cameH935 to the womanH802 to the houseH1004, they saidH559, Where is AhimaazH290 and JonathanH3083? And the womanH802 saidH559 unto them, They be gone overH5674 the brookH4323 of waterH4325. And when they had soughtH1245 and could not findH4672 them, they returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389. 21And it came to pass, afterH310 they were departedH3212, that they came upH5927 out of the wellH875, and wentH3212 and toldH5046 kingH4428 DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto DavidH1732, AriseH6965, and pass quicklyH4120 overH5674 the waterH4325: for thus hath AhithophelH302 counselledH3289 against you. 22Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965, and all the peopleH5971 that were with him, and they passed overH5674 JordanH3383: by the morningH1242 lightH216 there lackedH5737 not oneH259 of them that was not gone overH5674 JordanH3383.

23And when AhithophelH302 sawH7200 that his counselH6098 was not followedH6213, he saddledH2280 his donkeyH2543, and aroseH6965, and gat him homeH3212 to his houseH1004, to his cityH5892, and put his householdH1004 in orderH6680, and hangedH2614 himself, and diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in the sepulchreH6913 of his fatherH1.12 24Then DavidH1732 cameH935 to MahanaimH4266. And AbsalomH53 passed overH5674 JordanH3383, he and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 with him.

25And AbsalomH53 madeH7760 AmasaH6021 captain of the armyH6635 instead of JoabH3097: which AmasaH6021 was a man’sH376 sonH1121, whose nameH8034 was IthraH3501 an IsraeliteH3481, that went inH935 to AbigailH26 the daughterH1323 of NahashH5176, sisterH269 to ZeruiahH6870 Joab’sH3097 motherH517.345 26So IsraelH3478 and AbsalomH53 pitchedH2583 in the landH776 of GileadH1568.

27And it came to pass, when DavidH1732 was comeH935 to MahanaimH4266, that ShobiH7629 the sonH1121 of NahashH5176 of RabbahH7237 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of AmmielH5988 of Lo–debarH3810, and BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569 of RogelimH7274, 28BroughtH5066 bedsH4904, and basonsH5592, and earthenH3335 vesselsH3627, and wheatH2406, and barleyH8184, and flourH7058, and parchedH7039 grain, and beansH6321, and lentilesH5742, and parchedH7039 pulse,6 29And honeyH1706, and butterH2529, and sheepH6629, and cheeseH8194 of kineH1241, for DavidH1732, and for the peopleH5971 that were with him, to eatH398: for they saidH559, The peopleH5971 is hungryH7457, and wearyH5889, and thirstyH6771, in the wildernessH4057.
