2 Samuel 17:17-29

17NowH3588 JonathanH3083 and AhimaazH290 stayedH5975 by En-rogelH5883; and a maidservantH8198 used to goH1980 and tellH5046 them; and they wentH1980 and toldH5046 kingH4428 DavidH1732: for they might notH3808 be seenH7200 to comeH935 intoH935 the cityH5892. 18But a ladH5288 sawH7200 them, and toldH5046 AbsalomH53: and they wentH935 bothH8147 of them awayH935 quicklyH4120, and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of a manH376 in BahurimH980, who had a wellH875 in his courtH2691; and they wentH935 downH3381 thither. 19And the womanH802 tookH3947 and spreadH6566 the coveringH4539 over the well’sH875 mouthH6440, and strewed bruised corn thereonH5921; and nothingH3808 was knownH3045. 20And Absalom’sH53 servantsH5650 cameH935 to the womanH802 to the houseH1004; and they saidH559, WhereH346 are AhimaazH290 and JonathanH3083? And the womanH802 saidH559 unto them, They be goneH935 over the brookH4323 of waterH4325. And when they had soughtH1245 and could notH3808 findH4672 them, they returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389. 21And it cameH1961 to passH5674, afterH310 they were departed, that they cameH1961 upH5927 outH5921 of the wellH875, and wentH5927 and toldH5046 kingH4428 DavidH1732; and they saidH559 unto DavidH1732, AriseH6965 ye, and passH5674 quicklyH4120 over the waterH4325: for thusH3602 hath AhithophelH302 counselled againstH5921 youH3588. 22Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 that were with him, and they passedH5674 over JordanH3383: by the morningH1242 lightH216 there lacked notH3808 one of them that was notH3808 goneH3808 over JordanH3383. 23And when AhithophelH302 sawH7200 that his counselH6098 was notH3808 followed, he saddledH2280 his ass, and aroseH6965, and gat him homeH1004, unto his cityH5892, and setH6965 his houseH1004 in orderH6680, and hanged himselfH413; and he diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in the sepulchre of his fatherH1. 24Then DavidH1732 cameH935 to MahanaimH4266. And AbsalomH53 passedH5674 over JordanH3383, he and allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 with him. 25And AbsalomH53 setH7760 AmasaH6021 over the hostH6635 insteadH8478 of JoabH3097. NowH935 AmasaH6021 was the sonH1121 of a manH376, whoseH834 nameH8034 was IthraH3501 the IsraeliteH3481, that wentH935 in to Abigal the daughterH1323 of NahashH5176, sisterH269 to ZeruiahH6870 Joab’sH3097 motherH517. 26And IsraelH3478 and AbsalomH53 pitchedH2583 in the landH776 of GileadH1568. 27And it cameH935 to passH935, 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, 28brought bedsH4904, and basons, and earthen vesselsH3627, and wheatH2406, and barleyH8184, and mealH7058, and parchedH7039 corn, and beansH6321, and lentilsH5742, and parchedH7039 pulse, 29and honeyH1706, and butterH2529, and sheepH6629, and cheeseH8194 of kine, 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.
