And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Thy servant{H5650} is of one{H259} of the tribes{H7626} of Israel{H3478}. 3 And Absalom{H53} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, See{H7200}{(H8798)}, thy matters{H1697} are good{H2896} and right{H5228}; but there is no man deputed of the king{H4428} to hear{H8085}{(H8802)} thee. 4 Absalom{H53} said{H559}{(H8799)} moreover, Oh that I were made{H7760}{(H8799)} judge{H8199}{(H8802)} in the land{H776}, that every man{H376} which hath any suit{H7379} or cause{H4941} might come{H935}{(H8799)} unto me, and I would do him justice{H6663}{(H8689)}! 5 And it was so, that when any man{H376} came nigh{H7126}{(H8800)} to him to do him obeisance{H7812}{(H8692)}, he put forth{H7971}{(H8804)} his hand{H3027}, and took{H2388}{(H8689)} him, and kissed{H5401}{(H8804)} him. 6 And on this manner{H1697} did{H6213}{(H8799)} Absalom{H53} to all Israel{H3478} that came{H935}{(H8799)} to the king{H4428} for judgment{H4941}: so Absalom{H53} stole{H1589}{(H8762)} the hearts{H3820} of the men{H582} of Israel{H3478}. 7 And it came to pass after{H7093} forty{H705} years{H8141}, that Absalom{H53} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, I pray thee, let me go{H3212}{(H8799)} and pay{H7999}{(H8762)} my vow{H5088}, which I have vowed{H5087}{(H8804)} unto the LORD{H3068}, in Hebron{H2275}. 8 For thy servant{H5650} vowed{H5087}{(H8804)} a vow{H5088} while I abode{H3427}{(H8800)} at Geshur{H1650} in Syria{H758}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, If the LORD{H3068} shall bring me again{H7725}{(H8799)}{(H8676)}{H7725}{(H8686)} indeed to Jerusalem{H3389}, then I will serve{H5647}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}. 9 And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Go{H3212}{(H8798)} in peace{H7965}. So he arose{H6965}{(H8799)}, and went{H3212}{(H8799)} to Hebron{H2275}. 10 But Absalom{H53} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} spies{H7270}{(H8764)} throughout all the tribes{H7626} of Israel{H3478}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, As soon as ye hear{H8085}{(H8800)} the sound{H6963} of the trumpet{H7782}, then ye shall say{H559}{(H8804)}, Absalom{H53} reigneth{H4427}{(H8804)} in Hebron{H2275}. 11 And with Absalom{H53} went{H1980}{(H8804)} two hundred{H3967} men{H376} out of Jerusalem{H3389}, that were called{H7121}{(H8803)}; and they went{H1980}{(H8802)} in their simplicity{H8537}, and they knew{H3045}{(H8804)} not any thing{H1697}. 12 And Absalom{H53} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} for Ahithophel{H302} the Gilonite{H1526}, David's{H1732} counsellor{H3289}{(H8802)}, from his city{H5892}, even from Giloh{H1542}, while he offered{H2076}{(H8800)} sacrifices{H2077}. And the conspiracy{H7195} was strong{H533}; for the people{H5971} increased{H7227} continually{H1980}{(H8802)} with Absalom{H53}. 13 And there came{H935}{(H8799)} a messenger{H5046}{(H8688)} to David{H1732}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, The hearts{H3820} of the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} are after{H310} Absalom{H53}. 14 And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto all his servants{H5650} that were with him at Jerusalem{H3389}, Arise{H6965}{(H8798)}, and let us flee{H1272}{(H8799)}; for we shall not else escape{H6413} from{H6440} Absalom{H53}: make speed{H4116}{(H8761)} to depart{H3212}{(H8800)}, lest he overtake{H5381}{(H8689)} us suddenly{H4116}{(H8762)}, and bring{H5080}{(H8689)} evil{H7451} upon us, and smite{H5221}{(H8689)} the city{H5892} with the edge{H6310} of the sword{H2719}. 15 And the king's{H4428} servants{H5650} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, Behold, thy servants{H5650} are ready to do whatsoever my lord{H113} the king{H4428} shall appoint{H977}{(H8799)}. 16 And the king{H4428} went forth{H3318}{(H8799)}, and all his household{H1004} after{H7272} him. And the king{H4428} left{H5800}{(H8799)} ten{H6235} women{H802}, which were concubines{H6370}, to keep{H8104}{(H8800)} the house{H1004}. 17 And the king{H4428} went forth{H3318}{(H8799)}, and all the people{H5971} after{H7272} him, and tarried{H5975}{(H8799)} in a place{H1004} that was far off{H4801}{(H8677)}{H1023}. 18 And all his servants{H5650} passed on{H5674}{(H8802)} beside{H3027} him; and all the Cherethites{H3774}, and all the Pelethites{H6432}, and all the Gittites{H1663}, six{H8337} hundred{H3967} men{H376} which came{H935}{(H8804)} after{H7272} him from Gath{H1661}, passed on{H5674}{(H8802)} before{H6440} the king{H4428}.
