Chapter 15
And
it
came
to
passe
after
this,
that
Absalom
prepared
him
charets
and
horses,
and
fiftie
men
to
runne
before
him.
2
And
Absalom
rose
vp
earely,
and
stood
beside
the
way
of
the
gate:
and
it
was
so,
that
when
any
man
that
had
a
controuersie,
came
to
the
king
for
iudgment,
then
Absalom
called
vnto
him,
and
said,
Of
what
citie
art
thou?
And
he
said,
Thy
seruant
is
of
one
of
the
tribes
of
Israel.
3
And
Absalom
said
vnto
him,
See,
thy
matters
are
good
&
right,
but
there
is
no
man
deputed
of
the
king
to
heare
thee.
4
Absalom
said
moreouer,
Oh
that
I
were
made
Iudge
in
the
land,
that
euery
man
which
hath
any
suit
or
cause,
might
come
vnto
me,
and
I
would
do
him
iustice.
5
And
it
was
so,
that
when
any
man
came
nigh
to
him,
to
doe
him
obeisance,
he
put
foorth
his
hand,
and
tooke
him,
and
kissed
him.
6
And
on
this
maner
did
Absalom
to
all
Israel,
that
came
to
the
King
for
iudgement:
so
Absalom
stole
the
hearts
of
the
men
of
Israel.
7
And
it
came
to
passe
after
fourtie
yeeres,
that
Absalom
said
vnto
the
king,
I
pray
thee,
let
mee
goe
and
pay
my
vow
which
I
haue
vowed
vnto
the
Lord
in
Hebron.
8
For
thy
seruant
vowed
a
vowe
while
I
abode
at
Geshur
in
Syria,
saying,
If
the
Lord
shall
bring
mee
againe
in
deed
to
Ierusalem,
then
I
will
serue
the
Lord.
9
And
the
king
said
vnto
him,
Goe
in
peace.
So
he
arose,
and
went
to
Hebron.
10
But
Absalom
sent
spies
thorowout
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
saying,
As
soone
as
yee
heare
the
sound
of
the
trumpet,
then
yee
shall
say,
Absalom
reigneth
in
Hebron.
11
And
with
Absalom
went
two
hundred
men
out
of
Ierusalem,
that
were
called,
and
they
went
in
their
simplicitie,
and
they
knew
not
any
thing.
12
And
Absalom
sent
for
Ahithophel
the
Gilonite,
Dauids
counseller,
from
his
citie,
euen
from
Giloh,
while
he
offered
sacrifices:
and
the
conspiracie
was
strong,
for
the
people
encreased
continually
with
Absalom.
13
And
there
came
a
messenger
to
Dauid,
saying,
The
hearts
of
the
men
of
Israel
are
after
Absalom.
14
And
Dauid
said
vnto
all
his
seruants
that
were
with
him
at
Ierusalem,
Arise,
and
let
vs
flee;
for
wee
shall
not
else
escape
from
Absalom:
make
speede
to
depart,
lest
hee
ouertake
vs
suddenly,
and
bring
euill
vpon
vs,
and
smite
the
city
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
15
And
the
kings
seruants
said
vnto
the
king,
Behold,
thy
seruants
are
readie
to
doe
whatsoeuer
my
lord
the
king
shall
appoint.
16
And
the
king
went
foorth,
and
all
his
houshold
after
him:
and
the
King
left
tenne
women,
which
were
concubines,
to
keepe
the
house.
17
And
the
king
went
forth,
and
all
the
people
after
him,
and
taried
in
a
place
that
was
farre
off.
18
And
all
his
seruants
passed
on
beside
him:
and
all
the
Cherethites,
and
all
the
Pelethites,
and
all
the
Gittites,
sixe
hundred
men,
which
came
after
him
from
Gath,
passed
on
before
the
king.
19
Then
said
the
king
to
Ittai
the
Gittite,
Wherefore
goest
thou
also
with
vs?
Returne
to
thy
place,
and
abide
with
the
King:
for
thou
art
a
stranger,
and
also
an
exile.
20
Whereas
thou
camest
but
yesterday,
should
I
this
day
make
thee
goe
vp
and
downe
with
vs?
Seeing
I
goe
whither
I
may,
returne
thou,
and
take
backe
thy
brethren:
mercie
and
trueth
be
with
thee.
21
And
Ittai
answered
the
King,
and
said,
As
the
Lord
liueth,
and
as
my
lord
the
king
liueth,
surely
in
what
place
my
lord
the
king
shall
be,
whether
in
death
or
life,
euen
there
also
will
thy
seruant
be.
22
And
Dauid
said
to
Ittai,
Goe,
and
passe
ouer.
And
Ittai
the
Gittite
passed
ouer,
and
all
his
men,
and
all
the
little
ones
that
were
with
him.
23
And
all
the
countrey
wept
with
a
loude
voice,
and
all
the
people
passed
ouer:
the
King
also
himselfe
passed
ouer
the
brooke
Kidron,
and
all
the
people
passed
ouer,
toward
the
way
of
the
wildernesse.
24
And
loe,
Zadok
also,
and
all
the
Leuites
were
with
him,
bearing
the
Arke
of
the
Couenant
of
God,
and
they
set
downe
the
Arke
of
God;
and
Abiathar
went
vp,
vntill
all
the
people
had
done
passing
out
of
the
citie.
25
And
the
King
said
vnto
Zadok,
Cary
backe
the
Arke
of
God
into
the
citie:
if
I
shall
finde
fauour
in
the
eyes
of
the
Lord,
he
wil
bring
me
againe,
and
shew
me
both
it,
and
his
habitation.
26
But
if
he
thus
say,
I
haue
no
delight
in
thee:
beholde,
here
am
I,
let
him
doe
to
me,
as
seemeth
good
vnto
him.
27
The
king
said
also
vnto
Zadok
the
Priest,
Art
not
thou
a
Seer?
Returne
into
the
citie
in
peace,
and
your
two
sonnes
with
you,
Ahimaaz
thy
sonne,
and
Ionathan
the
sonne
of
Abiathar.
28
See,
I
will
tarie
in
the
plaine
of
the
wildernesse,
vntill
there
come
word
from
you
to
certifie
me.
29
Zadok
therefore
and
Abiathar
caried
the
Arke
of
God
againe
to
Ierusalem;
and
they
taried
there.
30
And
Dauid
went
vp
by
the
ascent
of
mount
Oliuet,
and
wept
as
he
went
vp,
and
had
his
head
couered,
and
he
went
barefoote,
and
all
the
people
that
was
with
him,
couered
euery
man
his
head,
and
they
went
vp,
weeping
as
they
went
vp.
31
And
one
tolde
Dauid,
saying,
Ahithophel
is
among
the
conspirators
with
Absalom.
And
Dauid
sayde,
O
Lord,
I
pray
thee
turne
the
counsell
of
Ahithophel
into
foolishnesse.
32
And
it
came
to
passe,
that
when
Dauid
was
come
to
the
top
of
the
mount,
where
he
worshipped
God,
behold,
Hushai
the
Archite
came
to
meet
him,
with
his
coat
rent,
and
earth
vpon
his
head:
33
Unto
whom
Dauid
said,
If
thou
passest
on
with
me,
then
thou
shalt
be
a
burden
vnto
me.
34
But
if
thou
returne
to
the
citie,
and
say
vnto
Absalom,
I
wil
be
thy
seruant,
O
king:
as
I
haue
bene
thy
fathers
seruant
hitherto,
so
will
I
now
also
be
thy
seruant:
then
mayest
thou
for
mee
defeat
the
counsell
of
Ahithophel.
35
And
hast
thou
not
there
with
thee
Zadok,
and
Abiathar
the
Priests?
therefore
it
shall
be,
that
what
thing
soeuer
thou
shalt
heare
out
of
the
kings
house,
thou
shalt
tell
it
to
Zadok
and
Abiathar
the
Priests.
36
Behold,
they
haue
there
with
them
their
two
sonnes,
Ahimaaz
Zadoks
sonne,
and
Ionathan
Abiathars
sonne:
and
by
them
ye
shall
send
vnto
me
euery
thing
that
ye
can
heare.
37
So
Hushai
Dauids
friend
came
into
the
citie,
and
Absalom
came
into
Ierusalem.
