2 Samuel 18:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33

• 1 And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
• 2 And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.
• 3 But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city.
• 4 And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.
• 5 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
• 6 So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim;
• 7 Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men.
• 8 For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
• 9 And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.
• 10 And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.
• 11 And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle.
• 12 And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king’s son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.
• 13 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.
• 14 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.
• 15 And ten young men that bare Joab’s armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.
• 16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.
• 17 And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent.
• 18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king’s dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom’s place.
• 19 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.
• 20 And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king’s son is dead.
• 21 Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.
• 22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?
• 23 But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.
• 24 And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone.
• 25 And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near.
• 26 And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.
• 27 And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
• 28 And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.
• 29 And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king’s servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was.
• 30 And the king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.
• 31 And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.
• 32 And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is.
• 33 And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!

Matthew 27:60

• 60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

1 Corinthians 15:32

• 32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

Revelation 3:7

• 7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

• 1 And David ^{H1732 MMS} numbered ^H6485 the people ^H5971 that ^{H834 RPRO} were with ^{H854 PREP-3MS} him , and set ^{H7760 W-VQY3MS} captains ^{H8269 CMP} of thousands ^{H505 MMP} and captains ^H8269 of hundreds ^H3967 over ^{H5921 PREP-3MP} them .
• 2 And David ^{H1732 MMS} sent forth ^{H7971 W-VPY3MS} a third part ^H7992 of the people ^H5971 under the hand ^{H3027 B-CFS} of Joab ^H3097 , and a third part ^H7992 under the hand ^{H3027 B-CFS} of Abishai ^H52 the son ^H1121 of Zeruiah ^H6870 , Joab ^H3097 \'s brother ^{H251 CMS} , and a third part ^H7992 under the hand ^{H3027 B-CFS} of Ittai ^H863 the Gittite ^H1663 . And the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} unto ^{H413 PREP} the people ^H5971 , I will surely go forth with ^H5973 you myself ^{H589 PPRO-1MS} also ^{H1571 CONJ} .
• 3 But the people ^H5971 answered ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} , Thou shalt not ^{H3808 NADV} go forth ^H3318 : for ^{H3588 CONJ} if ^{H518 PART} we flee away ^H5127 , they will not ^{H3808 NADV} care ^{H7760 VQY3MP} for ^H413 us ; neither ^{H3808 ADV} if ^{H518 PART} half ^H2677 of us die ^{H4191 VQY3MP} , will they care ^{H7760 VQY3MP} for ^H413 us : but ^{H3588 CONJ} now ^{H6258 ADV} thou art worth ^H3644 ten ^H6235 thousand ^{H505 MMP} of us : therefore now ^{H6258 W-ADV} it is better ^{H2896 AMS} that ^{H3588 CONJ} thou succor ^H5826 us out of the city ^{H5892 M-NFS} .
• 4 And the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} unto ^{H413 PREP} them , What ^{H834 RPRO} seemeth ^H5869 you best ^H3190 I will do ^H6213 . And the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} stood ^{H5975 W-VQY3MS} by ^{H413 PREP} the gate ^H8179 side ^{H3027 CFS} , and all ^{H3605 W-CMS} the people ^H5971 came out ^H3318 by hundreds ^H3967 and by thousands ^H505 .
• 5 And the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} commanded ^{H6680 W-VPY3MS} Joab ^H3097 and Abishai ^H52 and Ittai ^H863 , saying ^{H559 L-VQFC} , Deal gently ^H328 for my sake with the young man ^H5288 , even with Absalom ^H53 . And all ^{H3605 NMS} the people ^H5971 heard ^{H8085 VQQ3MP} when the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} gave all ^{H3605 NMS} the captains ^H8269 charge ^H6680 concerning ^{H5921 PREP} Absalom ^H53 .
• 6 So the people ^H5971 went out ^{H3318 W-VQY3MS} into the field ^{H7704 D-NMS} against ^{H7125 L-VQFC} Israel ^H3478 : and the battle ^H4421 was ^{H1961 W-VQY3FS} in the wood ^H3293 of Ephraim ^H669 ;
• 7 Where ^{H8033 ADV} the people ^{H5971 NMS} of Israel ^H3478 were slain ^H5062 before ^{H6440 L-CMP} the servants ^H5650 of David ^H1732 , and there was ^{H1961 W-VQY3FS} there ^{H8033 ADV} a great ^{H1419 AFS} slaughter ^H4046 that ^{H1931 D-PPRO-3MS} day ^{H3117 B-AMS} of twenty ^H6242 thousand ^{H505 MMS} men .
• 8 For the battle ^H4421 was ^{H1961 W-VQY3FS} there ^{H8033 ADV} scattered ^H6327 over ^{H5921 PREP} the face ^{H6440 CMP} of all ^{H3605 CMS} the country ^{H776 D-GFS} : and the wood ^H3293 devoured ^{H398 L-VQFC} more ^H7235 people ^H5971 that ^H1931 day ^{H3117 B-AMS} than the sword ^{H2719 D-GFS} devoured ^{H398 VQQ3FS} .
• 9 And Absalom ^H53 met ^H7122 the servants ^H5650 of David ^H1732 . And Absalom ^H53 rode ^H7392 upon ^{H5921 PREP} a mule ^H6505 , and the mule ^H6505 went ^{H935 W-VQY3MS} under ^{H8478 NMS} the thick boughs ^H7730 of a great ^{H1419 D-AFS} oak ^H424 , and his head ^{H7218 CMS-3MS} caught hold ^H2388 of the oak ^H424 , and he was taken up ^H5414 between ^{H996 PREP} the heaven ^{H8064 D-NMD} and the earth ^{H776 D-GFS} ; and the mule ^H6505 that ^{H834 RPRO} was under ^{H8478 NMS} him went away ^H5674 .
• 10 And a certain ^{H259 MMS} man ^{H376 NMS} saw ^{H7200 W-VIY3MS} it , and told ^{H5046 W-VHY3MS} Joab ^H3097 , and said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} , Behold ^{H2009 IJEC} , I saw ^{H7200 W-VIY3MS} Absalom ^H53 hanged ^H8518 in an oak ^H424 .
• 11 And Joab ^H3097 said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} unto the man ^{H376 LD-NMS} that told ^H5046 him , And , behold ^{H2009 IJEC} , thou sawest ^{H7200 VQQ2MS} him , and why ^H4069 didst thou not ^{H3808 ADV} smite ^H5221 him there ^{H8033 ADV} to the ground ^{H776 NFS-3FS} ? and I would have given ^H5414 thee ten ^H6235 shekels of silver ^H3701 , and a ^H259 girdle ^H2290 .
• 12 And the man ^{H376 D-NMS} said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} unto ^{H413 PREP} Joab ^H3097 , Though ^H3863 I ^{H595 PPRO-1MS} should receive ^H8254 a thousand ^{H505 W-BMS} shekels of silver ^{H3701 NMS} in ^{H5921 PREP} mine hand ^H3709 , yet would I not ^{H3808 ADV} put forth ^H7971 mine hand ^{H3027 CFS-1MS} against ^{H413 PREP} the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} \'s son ^H1121 : for ^{H3588 CONJ} in our hearing ^H241 the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} charged ^{H6680 VPQ3MS} thee and Abishai ^H52 and Ittai ^H863 , saying ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} , Beware that none ^H8104 touch the young man ^H5288 Absalom ^H53 .
• 13 Otherwise ^{H176 CONJ} I should have wrought ^{H6213 VQQ1MS} falsehood ^{H8267 NMS} against mine own life ^H5315 : for there is no matter ^{H3605 W-CMS} hid ^H3582 from ^{H4480 PREP} the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} , and thou thyself ^{H859 W-PPRO-2MS} wouldest have set thyself ^H3320 against ^H5048 me .
• 14 Then said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} Joab ^H3097 , I may not ^{H3808 NADV} tarry ^H3176 thus ^{H3651 ADV} with ^{H6440 L-CMP-2MS} thee . And he took ^{H3947 W-VQY3MS} three ^{H7969 NFS} darts ^H7626 in his hand ^H3709 , and thrust ^H8628 them through the heart ^H3820 of Absalom ^H53 , while ^H5750 he was yet alive ^{H2416 AMS} in the midst ^H3820 of the oak ^H424 .
• 15 And ten ^H6235 young men ^{H5288 NMP} that bore ^H5375 Joab ^H3097 \'s armor ^H3627 compassed about ^H5437 and smote ^{H5221 W-VHY3MP} Absalom ^H53 , and slew ^H4191 him .
• 16 And Joab ^H3097 blew ^H8628 the trumpet ^H7782 , and the people ^H5971 returned ^H7725 from pursuing ^H7291 after ^{H310 PREP} Israel ^H3478 : for ^{H3588 CONJ} Joab ^H3097 held back ^H2820 the people ^{H5971 D-NMS} .
• 17 And they took ^{H3947 W-VQY3MP} Absalom ^H53 , and cast ^H7993 him into ^{H413 PREP} a great ^{H1419 AMS} pit ^H6354 in the wood ^H3293 , and laid ^H5324 a very ^{H3966 ADV} great ^{H1419 AMS} heap ^{H1530 NMS} of stones ^{H68 NFP} upon ^{H5921 PREP-3MS} him : and all ^{H3605 W-CMS} Israel ^H3478 fled ^H5127 every one ^{H376 NMS} to his tent ^H168 .
• 18 Now Absalom ^H53 in his lifetime ^H2416 had taken ^{H3947 VQQ3MS} and reared up ^H5324 for himself a pillar ^H4678 , which ^{H834 RPRO} is in the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} \'s dale ^H6010 : for ^{H3588 CONJ} he said ^{H559 VQQ3MS} , I have no ^{H369 ADV} son ^H1121 to ^{H5668 B-NMS} keep my name in remembrance ^H2142 : and he called ^{H7121 W-VQY3MS} the pillar ^H4678 after ^{H5921 PREP} his own name ^H8034 : and it is called ^{H7121 W-VQY3MS} unto ^{H5704 PREP} this ^{H2088 D-PMS} day ^{H3117 D-AMS} , Absalom ^H53 \'s place ^{H3027 CFS} .
• 19 Then said ^{H559 VQQ3MS} Ahimaaz ^H290 the son ^H1121 of Zadok ^H6659 , Let me now ^{H4994 IJEC} run ^H7323 , and bear ^H1319 the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} tidings , how that ^{H3588 CONJ} the LORD ^{H3068 EDS} hath avenged ^H8199 him of his enemies ^H341 .
• 20 And Joab ^H3097 said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} unto him , Thou ^{H859 PPRO-2MS} shalt not ^{H3808 NADV} bear tidings ^H1309 this ^{H2088 D-PMS} day ^{H3117 B-NMS} , but thou shalt bear tidings ^H1319 another ^{H312 AMS} day ^{H3117 B-NMS} : but this ^{H2088 D-PMS} day ^{H3117 B-NMS} thou shalt bear no tidings ^H1319 , because ^{H5921 PREP} the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} \'s son ^H1121 is dead ^H4191 .
• 21 Then said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} Joab ^H3097 to Cushi ^H3569 , Go ^{H1980 VQI2MS} tell ^{H5046 VHI2MS} the king ^H4428 what ^{H834 RPRO} thou hast seen ^H7200 . And Cushi ^H3569 bowed himself ^H7812 unto Joab ^H3097 , and ran ^H7323 .
• 22 Then said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} Ahimaaz ^H290 the son ^{H1121 NMS-1MS} of Zadok ^H6659 yet ^{H5750 ADV} again ^{H3254 W-VHPMS} to ^{H413 PREP} Joab ^H3097 , But howsoever ^{H4100 IGAT} , let me , I ^{H589 PPRO-1MS} pray ^{H4994 IJEC} thee , also ^{H1571 CONJ} run ^H7323 after ^{H310 PREP} Cushi ^H3569 . And Joab ^H3097 said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} , Wherefore ^{H4100 L-IGAT} wilt thou ^{H859 PPRO-2MS} run ^{H7323 VQPMS} , my son ^{H1121 NMS-1MS} , seeing that thou hast no ^{H369 NPAR} tidings ^H1309 ready ^H4672 ?
• 23 But howsoever ^{H4100 IGAT} , said he , let me run ^H7323 . And he said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} unto him , Run ^H7323 . Then Ahimaaz ^H290 ran ^H7323 by the way ^{H1870 NMS} of the plain ^{H3603 D-NFS} , and overran ^H5674 Cushi ^H3569 .
• 24 And David ^H1732 sat ^{H3427 VQPMS} between ^{H996 PREP} the two ^{H8147 ONUM} gates ^H8179 : and the watchman ^H6822 went up ^{H1980 W-VQY3MS} to ^{H413 PREP} the roof ^H1406 over the gate ^H8179 unto ^{H413 PREP} the wall ^H2346 , and lifted up ^{H5375 W-VQY3MS} his eyes ^{H5869 CMD-3MS} , and looked ^{H7200 W-VIY3MS} , and behold ^{H2009 IJEC} a man ^{H376 NMS} running ^{H7323 VQPMS} alone ^H905 .
• 25 And the watchman ^H6822 cried ^{H7121 W-VQY3MS} , and told ^{H5046 W-VHY3MS} the king ^H4428 . And the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} , If ^{H518 PART} he be alone ^{H905 L-CMS-3MS} , there is tidings ^H1309 in his mouth ^{H6310 B-CMS-3MS} . And he came ^{H1980 W-VQY3MS} apace ^{H1980 VQFA} , and drew near ^H7131 .

And the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} , He ^{H2088 DPRO} is a good ^{H2896 AMS} man ^{H376 NMS} , and cometh ^{H935 VQY3MS} with good ^{H2896 AMS} tidings ^H1309 .

• 32 And the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} said ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} unto ^{H413 PREP} Cushi ^H3569 , Is the young man ^H5288 Absalom ^H53 safe ^H7965 ? And Cushi ^H3569 answered ^{H559 W-VQY3MS} , The enemies ^H341 of my lord ^H113 the king ^{H4428 D-NMS} , and all ^{H3605 W-CMS} that ^{H834 RPRO} rise ^{H6965 VQQ3MP} against ^{H5921 PREP-2MS} thee to do thee hurt ^H7451 , be ^{H1961 VQY3MP} as that young man ^H5288 is .

• 1 And David inspecteth the people who are with him, and setteth over them heads of thousands and heads of hundreds,
• 2 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.`
• 3 And the people say, `Thou dost not go out, for if we utterly flee, they do not set their heart upon us; and if half of us die, they do not set their heart unto us -- for now like us are ten thousand; and now, better that thou be to us from the city for an helper.`
• 4 And the king saith unto them, `That which is good in your eyes I do;` and the king standeth at the side of the gate, and all the people have gone out by hundreds and by thousands,
• 5 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.
• 6 And the people goeth out into the field to meet Israel, and the battle is in a forest of Ephraim;
• 7 and smitten there are the people of Israel before the servants of David, and the smiting there is great on that day -- twenty thousand;
• 8 and the battle is there scattered over the face of all the land, and the forest multiplieth to devour among the people more than those whom the sword hath devoured in that day.
• 9 And Absalom meeteth before the servants of David, and Absalom is riding on the mule, and the mule cometh in under an entangled bough of the great oak, and his head taketh hold on the oak, and he is placed between the heavens and the earth, and the mule that is under him hath passed on.
• 10 And one man seeth, and declareth to Joab, and saith, `Lo, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.`
• 11 And Joab saith to the man who is declaring it to him, `And lo, thou hast seen -- and wherefore didst thou not smite him there to the earth -- and on me to give to thee ten silverlings and one girdle?`
• 12 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;
• 13 or I had done against my soul a vain thing, and no matter is hid from the king, and thou -- thou dost station thyself over-against.`
• 14 And Joab saith, `Not right -- I tarry before thee;` and he taketh three darts in his hand, and striketh them into the heart of Absalom, while he is alive, in the midst of the oak.
• 15 And they go round -- ten youths bearing weapons of Joab -- and smite Absalom, and put him to death.
• 16 And Joab bloweth with a trumpet, and the people turneth back from pursuing after Israel, for Joab hath kept back the people;
• 17 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.
• 18 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.
• 19 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;`

• 21 And Joab saith to Cushi, `Go, declare to the king that which thou hast seen;` and Cushi boweth himself to Joab, and runneth.
• 22 And Ahimaaz son of Zadok addeth again, and saith unto Joab, `And whatever it be, let me run, I pray thee, I also, after the Cushite.` And Joab saith, `Why is this -- thou art running, my son, and for thee there are no tidings found?` --
• 23 `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.
• 24 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.

• 26 And the watchman seeth another man running, and the watchman calleth unto the gatekeeper, and saith, `Lo, a man running by himself;` and the king saith, `Also this one is bearing tidings.`
• 27 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.`
• 28 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.`
• 29 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.`
• 30 And the king saith, `Turn round, station thyself here;` and he turneth round and standeth still.
• 31 And lo, the Cushite hath come, and the Cushite saith, `Let tidings be proclaimed, my lord, O king; for Jehovah hath delivered thee to-day out of the hand of all those rising up against thee.`
• 32 And the king saith unto the Cushite, `Peace to the youth -- to Absalom?` And the Cushite saith, `Let them be -- as the youth -- the enemies of my lord the king, and all who have risen up against thee for evil.`
• 33 And the king trembleth, and goeth up on the upper chamber of the gate, and weepeth, and thus he hath said in his going, `My son! Absalom my son; my son Absalom; oh that I had died for thee, Absalom, my son, my son.`

• 1 And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
• 2 And David sent forth the people, a third part under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joabs brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.
• 3 But the people said, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but thou art worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that thou be ready to succor us out of the city.
• 4 And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate-side, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.
• 5 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
• 6 So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the forest of Ephraim.
• 7 And the people of Israel were smitten there before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter there that day of twenty thousand men.
• 8 For the battle was there spread over the face of all the country; and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
• 9 And Absalom chanced to meet the servants of David. And Absalom was riding upon his mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between heaven and earth; and the mule that was under him went on.
• 10 And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.
• 11 And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest it, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten pieces of silver, and a girdle.
• 12 And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, yet would I not put forth my hand against the kings son; for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.
• 13 Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against his life (and there is no matter hid from the king), then thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.
• 14 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.
• 15 And ten young men that bare Joabs armor compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.
• 16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab held back the people.
• 17 And they took Absalom, and cast him into the great pit in the forest, and raised over him a very great heap of stones: and all Israel fled every one to his tent.
• 18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself the pillar, which is in the kings dale; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name; and it is called Absaloms monument, unto this day.
• 19 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that Jehovah hath avenged him of his enemies.
• 20 And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not be the bearer of tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day; but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the kings son is dead.
• 21 Then said Joab to the Cushite, Go, tell the king what thou hast seen. And the Cushite bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.
• 22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But come what may, let me, I pray thee, also run after the Cushite. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou wilt have no reward for the tidings?
• 23 But come what may, said he, I will run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the Plain, and outran the Cushite.
• 24 Now David was sitting between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man running alone.
• 25 And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near.
• 26 And the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold, another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.
• 27 And the watchman said, I think the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
• 28 And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he bowed himself before the king with his face to the earth, and said, Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.
• 29 And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the kings servant, even me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was.
• 30 And the king said, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.
• 31 And, behold, the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, Tidings for my lord the king; for Jehovah hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.
• 32 And the king said unto the Cushite, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And the Cushite answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise up against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is.
• 33 And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
