King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΚΑΙ εἶπεν Ἀχιτόφελ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλώμ· ἐπιλέξω δὴ ἐμαυτῷ δώδεκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν καὶ ἀναστήσομαι καὶ καταδιώξω ὀπίσω Δαυὶδ τὴν νύκτα·
1Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:
2καὶ ἐπελεύσομαι ἐπ' αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς κοπιῶν καὶ ἐκλελυμένος χερσί, καὶ ἐκστήσω αὐτόν, καὶ φεύξεται πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ' αὐτοῦ, καὶ πατάξω τὸν βασιλέα μονώτατον·
2And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
3καὶ ἐπιστρέψω πάντα τὸν λαὸν πρός σε, ὃν τρόπον ἐπιστρέφει ἡ νύμφη πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς· πλὴν ψυχὴν ἀνδρὸς ἑνὸς σὺ ζητεῖς καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ ἔσται εἰρήνη.
3And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.
4καὶ εὐθὴς ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Ἀβεσσαλὼμ καὶ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς πάντων τῶν πρεσβυτέρων Ἰσραήλ·
4And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
5καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσαλώμ· καλέσατε δὴ καί γε τὸν Χουσὶ τὸν Ἀραχί, καὶ ἀκούσωμεν τί ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ καί γε αὐτοῦ.
5Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.
6καὶ εἰσῆλθε Χουσὶ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλώμ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων· κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο ἐλάλησεν Ἀχιτόφελ· εἰ ποιήσομεν κατὰ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ; εἰ δὲ μή, σὺ λάλησον·
6And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou.
7καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλώμ· οὐκ ἀγαθὴ αὕτη ἡ βουλή, ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο Ἀχιτόφελ τὸ ἅπαξ τοῦτο.
7And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time.
8καὶ εἶπε Χουσί· σὺ οἶδας τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ, ὅτι δυνατοί εἰσι σφόδρα καὶ κατάπικροι τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν, ὡς ἄρκος ἠτεκνωμένη ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ ὡς ὗς τραχεῖα ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ, καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς καὶ οὐ μὴ καταλύσῃ τὸν λαόν·
8For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
9ἰδοὺ γὰρ αὐτὸς νῦν κέκρυπται ἐν ἑνὶ τῶν βουνῶν ἢ ἐν ἑνὶ τῶν τόπων, καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἐπιπεσεῖν αὐτοῖς ἐν ἀρχῇ καὶ ἀκούσῃ ὁ ἀκούων καὶ εἴπῃ· ἐγενήθη θραῦσις ἐν τῷ λαῷ τῷ ὀπίσω Ἀβεσσαλώμ,
9Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
10καί γε αὐτὸς υἱὸς δυνάμεως, οὗ ἡ καρδία καθὼς ἡ καρδία τοῦ λέοντος, τηκομένη τακήσεται, ὅτι οἶδε πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι δυνατὸς ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ υἱοὶ δυνάμεως οἱ μετ' αὐτοῦ.
10And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men.
11ὅτι οὕτως συμβουλεύων ἐγὼ συνεβούλευσα, καὶ συναγόμενος συναχθήσεται ἐπὶ σὲ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς πλῆθος, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου πορευόμενον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν,
11Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
12καὶ ἥξομεν πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς ἕνα τῶν τόπων, οὗ ἐὰν εὕρωμεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ, καὶ παρεμβαλοῦμεν ἐπ' αὐτόν, ὡς πίπτει δρόσος ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐχ ὑπολειψόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσι τοῖς μετ' αὐτοῦ καί γε ἕνα·
12So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one.
13καὶ ἐὰν εἰς τὴν πόλιν συναχθῇ, καὶ λήψεται πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τὴν πόλιν ἐκείνην σχοινία καὶ συροῦμεν αὐτὴν ἕως εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν, ὅπως μὴ καταλειφθῇ ἐκεῖ μηδὲ λίθος.
13Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.
14καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραήλ· ἀγαθὴ ἡ βουλὴ Χουσὶ τοῦ Ἀραχὶ ὑπὲρ τὴν βουλὴν Ἀχιτόφελ· καὶ Κύριος ἐνετείλατο διασκεδάσαι τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ Ἀχιτόφελ τὴν ἀγαθήν, ὅπως ἂν ἐπαγάγῃ Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τὰ κακὰ πάντα.
14And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
15καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ ὁ τοῦ Ἀραχὶ πρὸς Σαδὼκ καὶ Ἀβιάθαρ τοὺς ἱερεῖς· οὕτως καὶ οὕτως συνεβούλευσεν Ἀχιτόφελ τῷ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οὕτως καὶ οὕτως συνεβούλευσα ἐγώ.
15¶ Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
16καὶ νῦν ἀποστείλατε ταχὺ καὶ ἀναγγείλατε τῷ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· μὴ αὐλισθῇς τὴν νύκτα ἐν Ἀραβὼθ τῆς ἐρήμου καί γε διαβαίνων σπεῦσον, μή ποτε καταπείσῃ τὸν βασιλέα καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ' αὐτοῦ.
16Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
17καὶ Ἰωνάθαν καὶ Ἀχιμάας εἱστήκεισαν ἐν τῇ πηγῇ Ρωγήλ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἡ παιδίσκη καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ αὐτοὶ πορεύονται καὶ ἀναγγέλλουσι τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυίδ, ὅτι οὐκ ἠδύναντο ὀφθῆναι τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν πόλιν.
17Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David.
18καὶ εἶδεν αὐτοὺς παιδάριον καὶ ἀνήγγειλε τῷ Ἀβεσσαλώμ, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ δύο ταχέως καὶ εἰσῆλθαν εἰς οἰκίαν ἀνδρὸς ἐν Βαουρίμ, καὶ αὐτῷ λάκκος ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ, καὶ κατέβησαν ἐκεῖ.
18Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man’s house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down.
19καὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ διεπέτασε τὸ ἐπικάλυμμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἔψυξεν ἐπ' αὐτῷ ἀραφώθ, καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώσθη ρῆμα.
19And the woman took and spread a covering over the well’s mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known.
20καὶ ἦλθαν οἱ παῖδες Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ εἶπαν· ποῦ Ἀχιμάας καὶ Ἰωνάθαν; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἡ γυνή· παρῆλθαν μικρὸν τοῦ ὕδατος, καὶ ἐζήτησαν καὶ οὐχ εὗραν καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
20And when Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them , they returned to Jerusalem.
21ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ ἀπελθεῖν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Δαυίδ· ἀνάστητε καὶ διάβητε ταχέως τὸ ὕδωρ, ὅτι οὕτως ἐβουλεύσατο περὶ ὑμῶν Ἀχιτόφελ.
21And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.
22καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ' αὐτοῦ καὶ διέβησαν τὸν Ἰορδάνην ἕως τοῦ φωτὸς τοῦ πρωΐ, ἕως ἑνὸς οὐκ ἔλαθεν ὃς οὐ διῆλθε τὸν Ἰορδάνην.
22Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
23καὶ Ἀχιτόφελ εἶδεν ὅτι οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἡ βουλὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέσαξε τὴν ὄνον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπήγξατο καὶ ἀπέθανε καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
23¶ And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
24καὶ Δαυὶδ διῆλθεν εἰς Μαναΐμ, καὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ διέβη τὸν Ἰορδάνην αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ μετ' αὐτοῦ.
24Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
25καὶ τὸν Ἀμεσσαΐ κατέστησεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἀντὶ Ἰωὰβ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως· καὶ Ἀμεσσαΐ υἱὸς ἀνδρὸς καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἰοθὸρ ὁ Ἰσραηλίτης, οὗτος εἰσῆλθε πρὸς Ἀβιγαίαν θυγατέρα Νάας ἀδελφὴν Σαρουΐας μητρὸς Ἰωάβ.
25¶ And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man’s son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab’s mother.
26καὶ παρενέβαλε πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ εἰς τὴν γῆν Γαλαάδ.
26So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
27καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἦλθε Δαυὶδ εἰς Μαναΐμ, καὶ Οὐεσβὶ υἱὸς Νάας ἐκ Ραββὰθ υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν καὶ Μαχὶρ υἱὸς Ἀμιὴλ ἐκ Λωδαβὰρ καὶ Βερζελλὶ ὁ Γαλααδίτης ἐκ Ρωγελλὶμ
27¶ And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
28ἤνεγκαν δέκα κοίτας καὶ ἀμφιτάπους καὶ λέβητας δέκα καὶ σκεύη κεράμου καὶ πυροὺς καὶ κριθὰς καὶ ἄλευρον καὶ ἄλφιτον καὶ κύαμον καὶ φακὸν
28Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn , and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse ,
29καὶ μέλι καὶ βούτυρον καὶ πρόβατα καὶ σαφφὼθ βοῶν καὶ προσήνεγκαν τῷ Δαυὶδ καὶ τῷ λαῷ τῷ μετ' αὐτοῦ φαγεῖν, ὅτι εἶπαν· ὁ λαὸς πεινῶν καὶ ἐκλελυμένος καὶ διψῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
29And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
