2 SAMUEL 14 1 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward ABSALOM. 21 And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man ABSALOM again. 23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought ABSALOM to Jerusalem. 24 And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So ABSALOM returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face. 25 But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as ABSALOM for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. 27 And unto ABSALOM there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance. 28 So ABSALOM dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face. 29 Therefore ABSALOM sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come. 30 Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And ABSALOM's servants set the field on fire. 31 Then Joab arose, and came to ABSALOM unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire? 32 And ABSALOM answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me. 33 So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for ABSALOM, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed ABSALOM. 2 SAMUEL 15 1 And it came to pass after this, that ABSALOM prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. 2 And ABSALOM rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then ABSALOM called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel. 3 And ABSALOM said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee. 4 ABSALOM said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice! 6 And on this manner did ABSALOM to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so ABSALOM stole the hearts of the men of Israel. 7 And it came to pass after forty years, that ABSALOM said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron. 10 But ABSALOM sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, ABSALOM reigneth in Hebron. 11 And with ABSALOM went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing. 12 And ABSALOM sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with ABSALOM. 13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after ABSALOM. 14 And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from ABSALOM: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 31 And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with ABSALOM. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness. 34 But if thou return to the city, and say unto ABSALOM, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel. 37 So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and ABSALOM came into Jerusalem. 2 SAMUEL 16 8 The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of ABSALOM thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man. 15 And ABSALOM, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. 16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto ABSALOM, that Hushai said unto ABSALOM, God save the king, God save the king. 17 And ABSALOM said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend? 18 And Hushai said unto ABSALOM, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide. 20 Then said ABSALOM to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do. 21 And Ahithophel said unto ABSALOM, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong. 22 So they spread ABSALOM a tent upon the top of the house; and ABSALOM went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel. 23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with ABSALOM. 2 SAMUEL 17 1 Moreover Ahithophel said unto ABSALOM, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night: 4 And the saying pleased ABSALOM well, and all the elders of Israel. 5 Then said ABSALOM, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith. 6 And when Hushai was come to ABSALOM, ABSALOM spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou. 7 And Hushai said unto ABSALOM, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time. 9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow ABSALOM. 14 And ABSALOM and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon ABSALOM. 15 Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel ABSALOM and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled. 18 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told ABSALOM: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down. 20 And when ABSALOM's servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem. 24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And ABSALOM passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. 25 And ABSALOM made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man's son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother. 26 So Israel and ABSALOM pitched in the land of Gilead. 27 And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of AMMON, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim, 2 SAMUEL 18 5 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with ABSALOM. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning ABSALOM. 9 And ABSALOM met the servants of David. And ABSALOM rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away. 10 And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw ABSALOM hanged in an oak. 12 And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man ABSALOM. 14 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of ABSALOM, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak. 15 And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote ABSALOM, and slew him. 17 And they took ABSALOM, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent. 18 Now ABSALOM in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, ABSALOM's place. 29 And the king said, Is the young man ABSALOM safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was. 32 And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man ABSALOM safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is. 33 And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son ABSALOM, my son, my son ABSALOM! would God I had died for thee, O ABSALOM, my son, my son! --MORE-- |
