And a youth seeth them, and declareth to Absalom; and they go on both of them hastily, and come in unto the house of a man in Bahurim, and he hath a well in his court, and they go down there,

אֹתָם֙ (אֹתָ) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

and the woman taketh and spreadeth the covering over the face of the well, and spreadeth on it the ground corn, and the thing hath not been known.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And it cometh to pass, after their going on, that they come up out of the well, and go and declare to king David, and say unto David, `Rise ye, and pass over hastily the waters, for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.'

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And David riseth, and all the people who `are' with him, and they pass over the Jordan, till the light of the morning, till one hath not been lacking who hath not passed over the Jordan.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Ahithophel hath seen that his counsel was not done, and he saddleth the ass, and riseth and goeth unto his house, unto his city, and giveth charge unto his household, and strangleth himself, and dieth, and he is buried in the burying-place of his father.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And David came to Mahanaim, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him;

and Amasa hath Absalom set instead of Joab over the host, and Amasa `is' a man's son whose name is Ithra the Israelite who hath gone in unto Abigail, daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab;

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And David inspecteth the people who `are' with him, and setteth over them heads of thousands and heads of hundreds,

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

and David sendeth the third of the people by the hand of Joab, and the third by the hand of Abishai, son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, and the third by the hand of Ittai the Gittite, and the king saith unto the people, `I certainly go out -- I also -- with you.'

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

and the king chargeth Joab, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, `Gently -- for me, for the youth, for Absalom;' and all the people heard in the king's charging all the heads concerning Absalom.

And one man seeth, and declareth to Joab, and saith, `Lo, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.'

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the man saith unto Joab, `Yea, though I am weighing on my hand a thousand silverlings, I do not put forth my hand unto the son of the king; for in our ears hath the king charged thee, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, Observe ye who `is' against the youth -- against Absalom;

אֹ֠תְךָ (אֹ֠תְ) 'O.te. “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And they go round -- ten youths bearing weapons of Joab -- and smite Absalom, and put him to death.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Joab bloweth with a trumpet, and the people turneth back from pursuing after Israel, for Joab hath kept back the people;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

and they take Absalom and cast him in the forest unto the great pit, and set up over him a very great heap of stones, and all Israel have fled -- each to his tent.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֹת֤וֹ (אֹת֤) 'o.T “<obj.>”

And Absalom hath taken, and setteth up for himself in his life, the standing-pillar that `is' in the king's valley, for he said, `I have no son to cause my name to be remembered;' and he calleth the standing-pillar by his own name, and it is called `The monument of Absalom' unto this day.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, `Let me run, I pray thee, and I bear the king tidings, for Jehovah hath delivered him out of the hand of his enemies;'

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

`And, whatever it be, `said he,' let me run.' And he saith to him, `Run;' and Ahimaaz runneth the way of the circuit, and passeth by the Cushite.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And David is sitting between the two gates, and the watchman goeth unto the roof of the gate, unto the wall, and lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, a man running by himself.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the watchman saith, `I see the running of the first as the running of Ahimaaz son of Zadok.' And the king saith, `This `is' a good man, and with good tidings he cometh.'

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Ahimaaz calleth and saith unto the king, `Peace;' and he boweth himself to the king, on his face, to the earth, and saith, `Blessed `is' Jehovah thy God who hath shut up the men who lifted up their hand against my lord the king.'

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king saith, `Peace to the youth -- to Absalom?' And Ahimaaz saith, `I saw the great multitude, at the sending away of the servant of the king, even thy servant `by' Joab, and I have not known what `it is'.'

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

and the king hath covered his face, yea, the king crieth -- a loud voice -- `My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son.'

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Joab cometh in unto the king to the house, and saith, `Thou hast put to shame to-day the faces of all thy servants, those delivering thy life to-day, and the life of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the life of thy wives, and the life of thy concubines,

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֵ֨ת (אֵ֨ת) 'Et “<obj.>”

to love thine enemies, and to hate those loving thee, for thou hast declared to-day that thou hast no princes and servants, for I have known to-day that if Absalom `were' alive, and all of us to-day dead, that then it were right in thine eyes.
