»ïÇÏ 15:1 In the course of time, Absalom provided himself with a chariot
and horses and with fifty men to run ahead of him.
»ïÇÏ 15:2 He would get up early and stand by the side of the road leading
to the city gate. Whenever anyone came with a complaint to be placed before
the king for a decision, Absalom would call out to him, "What town are
you from? " He would answer, "Your servant is from one of the tribes of
Israel."
»ïÇÏ 15:3 Then Absalom would say to him, "Look, your claims are valid
and proper, but there is no representative o f the king to hear you."
»ïÇÏ 15:4 And Absalom would add, "If only I were appointed judge in
the land! Then everyone who has a complaint or case could come to me and
I would see that he gets justice."
»ïÇÏ 15:5 Also, whenever anyone approached him to bow down before him,
Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of h im and kiss him.
»ïÇÏ 15:6 Absalom behaved in this way toward all the Israelites who
came to the king asking for justice, and so he stol e the hearts of the
men of Israel.

»ïÇÏ 15:7 At the end of four years, Absalom said to the king, "Let
me go to Hebron and fulfill a vow I made to the LORD.
»ïÇÏ 15:8 While your servant was living at Geshur in Aram, I made this
vow: 'If the LORD takes me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the LORD in
Hebron.'"
»ïÇÏ 15:9 The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he went to Hebron.
»ïÇÏ 15:10 Then Absalom sent secret messengers throughout the tribes
of Israel to say, "As soon as you hear the so und of the trumpets, then
say, 'Absalom is king in Hebron.'"
»ïÇÏ 15:11 Two hundred men from Jerusalem had accompanied Absalom.
They had been invited as guests and went quite innoc ently, knowing nothing
about the matter.
»ïÇÏ 15:12 While Absalom was offering sacrifices, he also sent for
Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, to come from Giloh, his hometown.
And so the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom's following kept on
increasing.
»ïÇÏ15:13 ´ÙÀÀÇ ÇǽÅ
»ïÇÏ 15:13 A messenger came and told David, "The hearts of the men
of Israel are with Absalom."
»ïÇÏ 15:14 Then David said to all his officials who were with him in
Jerusalem, "Come! We must flee, or none of us will escape from Absalom.
We must leave immediately, or he will move quickly to overtake us and bring
ruin upon us and put the city to the sword."
»ïÇÏ 15:15 The king's officials answered him, "Your servants are ready
to do whatever our lord the king chooses. "
»ïÇÏ 15:16 The king set out, with his entire household following him;
but he left ten concubines to take care of the pa lace.
»ïÇÏ 15:17 So the king set out, with all the people following him,
and they halted at a place some distance away.
»ïÇÏ 15:18 All his men marched past him, along with all the Kerethites
and Pelethites; and all the six hundred Gittites who had accompanied him
from Gath marched before the king.
»ïÇÏ 15:19 The king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why should you come
along with us? Go back and stay with King Absa lom. You are a foreigner,
an exile from your homeland.
»ïÇÏ 15:20 You came only yesterday. And today shall I make you wander
about with us, when I do not know where I am goin g? Go back, and take
your countrymen. May kindness and faithfulness be with you."
»ïÇÏ 15:21 But Ittai replied to the king, "As surely as the LORD lives,
and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether
it means life or death, there will your servant be."
»ïÇÏ 15:22 David said to Ittai, "Go ahead, march on." So Ittai the
Gittite marched on with all his men and th e families that were with him.
»ïÇÏ 15:23 The whole countryside wept aloud as all the people passed
by. The king also crossed the Kidron Valley, and a ll the people moved
on toward the desert.
»ïÇÏ15:24 ´ÙÀ°ú »çµ¶ÀÇ Çù¾à
»ïÇÏ 15:24 Zadok was there, too, and all the Levites who were with
him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. Th ey set down the ark
of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until all the people had finished
leaving the city.
»ïÇÏ 15:25 Then the king said to Zadok, "Take the ark of God back into
the city. If I find favor in the LORD'S eye s, he will bring me back and
let me see it and his dwelling place again.
»ïÇÏ 15:26 But if he says, 'I am not pleased with you,' then I am ready;
let him do to me whatever seems good to him. "
»ïÇÏ 15:27 The king also said to Zadok the priest, "Aren't you a seer?
Go back to the city in peace, with your son Ahimaaz and Jonathan son of
Abiathar. You and Abiathar take your two sons with you.
»ïÇÏ 15:28 I will wait at the fords in the desert until word comes
from you to inform me."
»ïÇÏ 15:29 So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem
and stayed there.

»ïÇÏ 15:30 But David continued up the Mount of Olives, weeping as he
went; his head was covered and he was barefoot. Al l the people with him
covered their heads too and were weeping as they went up.
»ïÇÏ 15:31 Now David had been told, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators
with Absalom." So David prayed, "O LORD, turn Ahithophel's counsel into
foolishness."
»ïÇÏ 15:32 When David arrived at the summit, where people used to worship
God, Hushai the Arkite was there to meet him, his robe torn and dust on
his head.
»ïÇÏ 15:33 David said to him, "If you go with me, you will be a burden
to me.
»ïÇÏ 15:34 But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, 'I will
be your servant, O king; I was your father's serva nt in the past, but
now I will be your servant,' then you can help me by frustrating Ahithophel's
advice.
»ïÇÏ 15:35 Won't the priests Zadok and Abiathar be there with you?
Tell them anything you hear in the king's palace.
»ïÇÏ 15:36 Their two sons, Ahimaaz son of Zadok and Jonathan son of
Abiathar, are there with them. Send them to me with anything you hear."
»ïÇÏ 15:37 So David's friend Hushai arrived at Jerusalem as Absalom
was entering the city. |
