|
| 13 | When news reached David that the men of Israel had transferred their allegiance to Absalom, | David flees from Jerusalem. 2Sm.15.13-37 | וַיָּבֹא הַמַּגִּיד אֶל־דָּוִד לֵאמֹר הָיָה לֶב־אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל אַחֲרֵי אַבְשָׁלֹום׃ |
|
| 14 | he said to those who were with him in Jerusalem, 'We must get away at once; or there will be no escape from Absalom for any of us. Make haste, or else he will soon be upon us and bring disaster on us, showing no mercy to anyone in the city.' | | וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד לְכָל־עֲבָדָיו אֲשֶׁר־אִתֹּו בִירוּשָׁלִַם קוּמוּ וְנִבְרָחָה כִּי לֹא־תִהְיֶה־לָּנוּ פְלֵיטָה מִפְּנֵי אַבְשָׁלֹום מַהֲרוּ לָלֶכֶת פֶּן־יְמַהֵר וְהִשִּׂגָנוּ וְהִדִּיחַ עָלֵינוּ אֶת־הָרָעָה וְהִכָּה הָעִיר לְפִי־חָרֶב׃ |
|
| 15 | The king's servants said to him, 'As your majesty thinks best; we are ready.'
| | וַיֹּאמְרוּ עַבְדֵי־הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַר אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ הִנֵּה עֲבָדֶיךָ׃ |
|
| 16 | When the king departed, all his household followed him except ten concubines, whom he left in charge of the palace. | | וַיֵּצֵא הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכָל־בֵּיתֹו בְּרַגְלָיו וַיַּעֲזֹב הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵת עֶשֶׂר נָשִׁים פִּלַגְשִׁים לִשְׁמֹר הַבָּיִת׃ |
|
| 17 | At the Far House the king and all the people who were with him halted. | | וַיֵּצֵא הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכָל־הָעָם בְּרַגְלָיו וַיַּעַמְדוּ בֵּית הַמֶּרְחָק׃ |
|
| 18 | His own servants then stood prob. rdg, Heb passed beside him, while the Kerethite and Pelethite guards and Ittai and Ittai: prob. rdg, Heb omitted with the six hundred Gittites under him marched past the king. | | וְכָל־עֲבָדָיו עֹבְרִים עַל־יָדֹו וְכָל־הַכְּרֵתִי וְכָל־הַפְּלֵתִי וְכָל־הַגִּתִּים שֵׁשׁ־מֵאֹות אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־בָּאוּ בְרַגְלֹו מִגַּת עֹבְרִים עַל־פְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ׃ |
|
| 19 | The king said to Ittai the Gittite, 'Are you here too? Why are you coming with us? Go back and stay with the new king, for you are a foreigner and, what is more, an exile from your own country. | | וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־אִתַּי הַגִּתִּי לָמָּה תֵלֵךְ גַּם־אַתָּה אִתָּנוּ שׁוּב וְשֵׁב עִם־הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי־נָכְרִי אַתָּה וְגַם־גֹּלֶה אַתָּה לִמְקֹומֶךָ׃ |
|
| 20 | You came only yesterday, and today must you be compelled to share my wanderings? I do not know where I am going. Go back home and take your countrymen with you; and may the LORD ever be your steadfast friend.' | | תְּמֹול בֹּואֶךָ וְהַיֹּום כ= אֲנֹועֲךָ ק= אֲנִיעֲךָ עִמָּנוּ לָלֶכֶת וַאֲנִי הֹולֵךְ עַל אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי הֹולֵךְ שׁוּב וְהָשֵׁב אֶת־אַחֶיךָ עִמָּךְ חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת׃ |
|
| 21 | Ittai swore to the king, 'As the LORD lives, your life upon it, wherever you may be, in life or in death, I, your servant, will be there.' | | וַיַּעַן אִתַּי אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמַר חַי־יְהוָה וְחֵי אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי אִם־בִּמְקֹום אֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה־שָּׁם אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ אִם־לְמָוֶת אִם־לְחַיִּים כִּי־שָׁם יִהְיֶה עַבְדֶּךָ׃ |
|
| 22 | David said to Ittai, 'It is well, march on!' So Ittai the Gittite marched on with his whole company and all the dependants who were with him. | | וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל־אִתַּי לֵךְ וַעֲבֹר וַיַּעֲבֹר אִתַּי הַגִּתִּי וְכָל־אֲנָשָׁיו וְכָל־הַטַּף אֲשֶׁר אִתֹּו׃ |
|
| 23 | The whole country-side re-echoed with their weeping. And the king remained standing prob. rdg, Heb passing while all the people crossed the gorge of the Kidron before him, by way of the olive-tree in the wilderness by way ... wilderness: prob. rdg, Heb obscure.
| | וְכָל־הָאָרֶץ בֹּוכִים קֹול גָּדֹול וְכָל־הָעָם עֹבְרִים וְהַמֶּלֶךְ עֹבֵר בְּנַחַל קִדְרֹון וְכָל־הָעָם עֹבְרִים עַל־פְּנֵי־דֶרֶךְ אֶת־הַמִּדְבָּר׃ |
|
| 24 | Zadok also was there with all the Levites; they were carrying the Ark of the Covenant of God, which they set down beside Abiathar beside Abiathar: prob. rdg, Heb and Abiathar went up until all the people had passed out of the city. | | וְהִנֵּה גַם־צָדֹוק וְכָל־הַלְוִיִּם אִתֹּו נֹשְׂאִים אֶת־אֲרֹון בְּרִית הָאֱלֹהִים וַיַּצִּקוּ אֶת־אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים וַיַּעַל אֶבְיָתָר עַד־תֹּם כָּל־הָעָם לַעֲבֹור מִן־הָעִיר׃ |
|
| 25 | But the king said to Zadok, 'Take the Ark of God back to the city. If I find favour with the LORD, he will bring me back and will let me see the Ark and its dwelling-place again. | | וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ לְצָדֹוק הָשֵׁב אֶת־אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים הָעִיר אִם־אֶמְצָא חֵן בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וֶהֱשִׁבַנִי וְהִרְאַנִי אֹתֹו וְאֶת־נָוֵהוּ׃ |
|
| 26 | But if he says he does not want me, then here I am; let him do what he pleases with me.' | | וְאִם כֹּה יֹאמַר לֹא חָפַצְתִּי בָּךְ הִנְנִי יַעֲשֶׂה־לִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר טֹוב בְּעֵינָיו׃ ס |
|
| 27 | The king went on to say to Zadok the priest, 'Can you make good use of your eyes? You may safely 'go back to the city, you and Abiathar you and Abiathar: prob. rdg, cp v29; Heb omitted, and take with you the two young men, Ahimaaz your son and Abiathar's son Jonathan. | | וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־צָדֹוק הַכֹּהֵן הֲרֹואֶה אַתָּה שֻׁבָה הָעִיר בְּשָׁלֹום וַאֲחִימַעַץ בִּנְךָ וִיהֹונָתָן בֶּן־אֶבְיָתָר שְׁנֵי בְנֵיכֶם אִתְּכֶם׃ |
|
| 28 | Do not forget: I will linger at the Fords of the Wilderness until you can send word to me.' | | רְאוּ אָנֹכִי מִתְמַהְמֵהַּ כ= בְּעַבְרֹות ק= בְּעַרְבֹות הַמִּדְבָּר עַד בֹּוא דָבָר מֵעִםָּכֶם לְהַגִּיד לִי׃ |
|
| 29 | Then Zadok and Abiathar took the Ark of God back to Jerusalem and stayed there.
| | וַיָּשֶׁב צָדֹוק וְאֶבְיָתָר אֶת־אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים יְרוּשָׁלִָם וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָׁם׃ |
|
| 30 | David wept as he went up the slope of the Mount of Olives; he was bare-headed and went bare-foot. The people with him all had their heads uncovered and wept as they went. | | וְדָוִד עֹלֶה בְמַעֲלֵה הַזֵּיתִים עֹלֶה וּבֹוכֶה וְרֹאשׁ לֹו חָפוּי וְהוּא הֹלֵךְ יָחֵף וְכָל־הָעָם אֲשֶׁר־אִתֹּו חָפוּ אִישׁ רֹאשֹׁו וְעָלוּ עָלֹה וּבָכֹה׃ |
|
| 31 | David had been told that Ahithophel was among the conspirators with Absalom, and he prayed, 'Frustrate, O LORD, the counsel of Ahithophel.'
| | וְדָוִד הִגִּיד לֵאמֹר אֲחִיתֹפֶל בַּקֹּשְׁרִים עִם־אַבְשָׁלֹום וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד סַכֶּל־נָא אֶת־עֲצַת אֲחִיתֹפֶל יְהוָה׃ |
|
| 32 | As David was approaching the top of the ridge where it was the custom to prostrate oneself to God, Hushai the Archite was there to meet him with his tunic rent and earth on his head. | | וַיְהִי דָוִד בָּא עַד־הָרֹאשׁ אֲשֶׁר־יִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה שָׁם לֵאלֹהִים וְהִנֵּה לִקְרָאתֹו חוּשַׁי הָאַרְכִּי קָרוּעַ כֻּתָּנְתֹּו וַאֲדָמָה עַל־רֹאשֹׁו׃ |
|
| 33 | David said to him, 'If you come with me you will only be a hindrance; | | וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו דָּוִד אִם עָבַרְתָּ אִתִּי וְהָיִתָ עָלַי לְמַשָּׂא׃ |
|
| 34 | but you can help me to frustrate Ahithophel's plans if you go back to the city and say to Absalom, "I will be your majesty's servant; up to now I have been your father's servant, and now I will be yours." | | וְאִם־הָעִיר תָּשׁוּב וְאָמַרְתָּ לְאַבְשָׁלֹום עַבְדְּךָ אֲנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶהְיֶה עֶבֶד אָבִיךָ וַאֲנִי מֵאָז וְעַתָּה וַאֲנִי עַבְדֶּךָ וְהֵפַרְתָּה לִי אֵת עֲצַת אֲחִיתֹפֶל׃ |
|
| 35 | You will have with you, as you know: the Priests Zadok and Abiathar; tell them everything that you hear in the kings household. | | וַהֲלֹוא עִמְּךָ שָׁם צָדֹוק וְאֶבְיָתָר הַכֹּהֲנִים וְהָיָה כָּל־הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁמַע מִבֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ תַּגִּיד לְצָדֹוק וּלְאֶבְיָתָר הַכֹּהֲנִים׃ |
|
| 36 | They have with them Zadok's son Ahimaaz and Abiathar's son Jonathan and through them you may pass on to me everything You hear.' | | הִנֵּה־שָׁם עִםָּם שְׁנֵי בְנֵיהֶם אֲחִימַעַץ לְצָדֹוק וִיהֹונָתָן לְאֶבְיָתָר וּשְׁלַחְתֶּם בְּיָדָם אֵלַי כָּל־דָּבָר אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁמָעוּ׃ |
|
| 37 | So Hushai, David's friend, came to the city as Absalom was entering Jerusalem. | | וַיָּבֹא חוּשַׁי רֵעֶה דָוִד הָעִיר וְאַבְשָׁלֹם יָבֹא יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃ |
