So David and his men went on their way: and Shimei went by the hillside parallel with them, cursing and sending stones and dust at him.

And Absalom said, Is this your love for your friend? why did you not go with your friend?

לָ֥מָּה (לָ֥) La. “<to>”

And Hushai said to Absalom, Not so; I am for that man whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have taken as king, and I will take my place with him.

ל֥וֹ (ל֥) l “to <the>”

And more than this! where is my place as a servant? is it not before his son? as I have been your father's servant, so will I be yours.

Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your opinion now, what are we to do?

לָכֶ֛ם (לָ) la. “for <the>”

And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's women who are here looking after his house; then all Israel will have the news that you are hated by your father, and the hands of your supporters will be strong.

לִשְׁמ֣וֹר (לִ) li “to”

So they put up the tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's women before the eyes of all Israel.

לְאַבְשָׁל֛וֹם (לְ) le. “for”לְעֵינֵ֖י (לְ) le. “to”

In those days the opinions of Ahithophel were valued as highly as if through him a man might get direction from God; so were they valued by David as much as by Absalom.

And I will come up with him when he is tired and feeble, and make him full of fear: and all the people with him will go in flight; and I will make an attack on the king only:

Then Absalom said, Now send for Hushai the Archite, and let us give ear to what he has to say.

לְחוּשַׁ֣י (לְ) le. “<to>”

And when Hushai came, Absalom said to him, This is what Ahithophel has said: are we to do as he says? if not, what is your suggestion?

לֵאמֹ֗ר (לֵ) le. “<to>”

But my suggestion is that all Israel, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, comes together to you, a great army like the sands of the sea in number; and that you yourself go out among them.

לָרֹ֑ב (לָ) la. “for”

Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, Hushai's suggestion is better than that of Ahithophel. For it was the purpose of the Lord to make the wise designs of Ahithophel without effect, so that the Lord might send evil on Absalom.

לְהָפֵ֞ר (לְ) le. “to”לְבַעֲב֗וּר (לְ) le. “<to>”

So now send the news quickly to David, and say, Do not take your night's rest by the way across the river to the waste land, but be certain to go over; or the king and all the people with him will come to destruction.

Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting by En-rogel; and a servant-girl went from time to time and gave them news and they went with the news to King David, for it was not wise for them to let themselves be seen coming into the town.

But a boy saw them, and gave word of it to Absalom: so the two of them went away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim who had a water-hole in his garden, and they went down into it.

לְאַבְשָׁלֹ֑ם (לְ) le. “to”וְל֥וֹ (ל֥) L “[belonged] to <the>”

And Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone from here to the stream. And after searching for them, and seeing nothing of them, they went back to Jerusalem.

לָהֶם֙ (לָ) la. “to <the>”

Then after the servants had gone away, they came up out of the water-hole and went to give King David the news; and they said, Get up and go quickly over the water, for such and such are Ahithophel's designs against you.

לַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (לַ) la. “to the”

And honey and butter and sheep and milk-cheeses, for David and his people: for they said, This people is in the waste land, needing food and drink and rest.

But the people said, It is better for you not to go out: for if we are put to flight, they will not give a thought to us, and if death overtakes half of us, it will be nothing to them: but you are of more value than ten thousand of us: so it is better fo

And the king gave orders to Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Because of me, be gentle to the young man Absalom. And this order about Absalom was given in the hearing of all the people.

So the people went out into the field against Israel, and the fight took place in the woods of Ephraim.

And the people of Israel were overcome there by the servants of David, and there was a great destruction that day, and twenty thousand men were put to the sword.
