Aram, saying, If vuvh shall bring me again indeed to
Yahrushalayim, then I will serve vuvh.
9 And the melech said to him, Go in shalom. So he arose,
and went to Hevron.
10 But Avshalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of
Yisrael, saying, As soon as you hear the sound of the
shofar, then you shall say, Avshalom reigns in
Hevron. 831
11 And with Avshalom went two hundred men out of
Yahrushalayim, that were called; and they went
unsuspecting, and they knew not any thing.
12 And Avshalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite,
Dawid's counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while
he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for
the people increased continually who were with
Avshalom.
13 And there came a messenger to Dawid, saying, The
levim of the men of Yisrael are with Avshalom.
14 And Dawid said to all his avadim that were with him
at Yahrushalayim, Arise, and let us flee; for otherwise we
shall not escape from Avshalom: let’s hurry to depart, lest
he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and
destroy the city with the edge of the sword.
15 And the melech's avadim said to the melech, See; your
avadim are ready to do whatever my master the melech
shall appoint.
16 And the melech went forth, and his entire household
after him. And the melech left ten women, who were
concubines, to keep the bayit.
17 And the melech went forth, and all the people after
him, and stayed in a place that was far off.
18 And all his avadim passed on with him; and all the
Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six
hundred men that came after him from Gat, passed on
before the melech.
19 Then said the melech to Ittai the Gittite, Why do you
also go with us? Return to your place, and stay with the
melech: for you are a ger, and also an exile from your
own place.
20 Whereas you came just yesterday, should I this day
make you go up and down with us? Seeing I go where I
have to, return, and go back with your brothers: rachamim
and emet be with you.
21 And Ittai answered the melech, and said, As vuvh
lives, and as my master the melech lives, surely in
whatever place my master the melech shall be, whether in
death, or chayim, even there also will your eved be.
22 And Dawid said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai
the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little
ones that were with him.
23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the
people passed over: the melech also himself passed over
the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward
the way of the wilderness.
24 And see Tzadok also, and all the Lewiym were with
him, bearing the Ark of the Testimony of Elohim: and
they put down the Ark of Elohim; and Aviathar went up,
until all the people had done passing out of the city.
25 And the melech said to Tzadok, Carry back the Ark of
Elohim into the city: if I shall find favor in the eyes of
vuvh, He will bring me again, and show me both it, and
His dwelling:
26 But if He says, I have no delight in you; see, hinayni,
SCHMUEL BET - SECOND SAMUEL
- 219 -
let Him do to me as seems tov to Him.
27 The melech said also to Tzadok the kohen, Are not
you a seer? Return into the city in shalom with your two
sons with you; Achimaatz your son, and Yonathan the son
of Aviathar.
28 See, I will stay in the plain of the wilderness, until
there comes word from you to inform me.
29 Tzadok therefore and Aviathar carried the Ark of
Elohim again to Yahrushalayim: and they stayed there.
30 And Dawid went up by the ascent of Mount of Olives,
and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, 832 and
he went barefoot: and all the people that were with him
covered every man his head, 833 and they went up,
weeping as they went up.
31 And one told Dawid, saying, Ahithophel is among the
conspirators with Avshalom. And Dawid said, O vuvh, I
make tefillah to You; turn the counsel of Ahithophel into
foolishness.
32 And it came to pass, that when Dawid was come to the
top of the mount, where he worshipped Elohim, see,
Chushi the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn,
and earth upon his head:
33 To whom Dawid said, If you pass on with me, then
you shall be a burden to me:
34 But if you return to the city, and say to Avshalom, I
will be your eved, O melech; as I have been your abba's
eved now will I be your eved: then I may defeat the
counsel of Ahithophel.
35 And have you not there with you Tzadok and Aviathar
the Kohanim? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing
you shall hear out of Avshalom’s bayit, you shall tell it to
Tzadok and Aviathar the Kohanim.
36 See, they have there with them their two sons,
Achimaatz Tzadok's son, and Yonathan Aviathar's son;
and by them you shall send to me everything that you can
hear.
37 So Chushi Dawid's chaver came into the city, and
Avshalom came into Yahrushalayim.
16
And when Dawid was a little past the top of the hill,
see, Tziva the eved of Mephibosheth met him, with a
couple of donkeys saddled, and upon them two hundred
loaves of lechem, and one hundred bunches of raisins,
and one hundred summer fruits and a bottle of wine.
2 And the melech said to Tziva, What is the purpose for
all these? And Tziva said, The donkeys are for the
melech's household to ride on; and the lechem and
summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine that
such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
3 And the melech said, And where is your master's son?
And Tziva said to the melech, See, he stays at
Yahrushalayim: for he said, Today shall Beit Yisrael
restore to me the malchut of my abba.
4 Then said the melech to Tziva, See; all that pertains to
Mephibosheth is now yours. And Tziva said, I humbly
beseech you that I may find favor in your sight, my
master, O melech.
5 And when melech Dawid came to Bachurim, see, there
came out a man of the mishpacha of Beit Shaul, whose
name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and
cursed still as he came.
6 And he cast stones at Dawid, and at all the avadim of
melech Dawid: and all the people and all the mighty men
