Revised Version 1895
2 Samuel 15:5-13
5And it was soH7971, that when anyH376 manH376 cameH1961 nigh to doH3027 him obeisance, he putH7971 forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH2388 holdH2388 of him, and kissedH5401 him.
6And on this mannerH1697 didH6213 AbsalomH53 to allH3605 IsraelH3478 that cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941: soH6213 AbsalomH53 stoleH1589 the heartsH3820 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478.
7And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the endH7093 of fortyH705 yearsH8141, that AbsalomH53 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, I prayH4994 thee, letH4994 meH413 goH1961 and payH7999 my vowH5088, whichH834 I have vowedH5087 unto the LORDH3068, in HebronH2275.
8For thy servantH5650 vowedH5087 a vowH5088 whileH3588 I abodeH3427 at GeshurH1650 in SyriaH758, sayingH559, IfH518 the LORDH3068 shall indeedH3588 bringH7725 meH7725 againH7725 to JerusalemH3389, then I will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
9And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, GoH6965 in peaceH7965. SoH6965 he aroseH6965, and wentH6965 to HebronH2275.
10But AbsalomH53 sentH7971 spiesH7270 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, As soon as ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, then ye shall sayH559, AbsalomH53 is kingH4427 in HebronH2275.
11And with AbsalomH53 wentH1980 twoH3808 hundredH3967 menH376 outH3045 of JerusalemH3389, that were invitedH7121, and wentH1980 in their simplicity; and they knewH3045 notH3808 anyH3605 thingH1697.
12And AbsalomH53 sentH7971 for AhithophelH302 the GiloniteH1526, David’sH1732 counsellor, from his cityH5892, evenH853 from GilohH1542, whileH1961 he offeredH2076 the sacrificesH2077. And the conspiracyH7195 was strongH533; for the peopleH5971 increased continuallyH1980 with AbsalomH53.
13And there cameH935 a messengerH5046 to DavidH1732, sayingH559, The heartsH3820 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 are afterH310 AbsalomH53.
