 17:11 Therefore x3588 I counsell, 3289 z8804 that all x3605 Israel 3478 be generally 622 z8736 gathered 622 z8735 vnto x5921 thee, from Dan 1835 x4480 euen to x5704 Beer-sheba, 884 as the sand 2344 that x834 [is] by x5921 the sea 3220 for multitude, 7230 and that thou goe 1980 z8802 to battell 7128 in thine owne person. 6440

 17:11 Therefore x3588 I counsel 3289 z8804 that all x3605 Israel 3478 be generally 622 z8736 gathered 622 z8735 unto x5921 thee, from Dan 1835 x4480 even to x5704 Beersheba, 884 as the sand 2344 that x834 [is] by x5921 the sea 3220 for multitude; 7230 and that thou go 1980 z8802 to battle 7128 in thine own person. 6440

 17:12 So shall wee come 935 z8804 vpon x413 him in some 259 place 4725 where x834 x8033 he shall be found, 4672 z8738 and we will light y5168 x5117 vpon x5921 him as x834 the dew 2919 falleth 5307 z8799 on x5921 the ground: 127 and of him and of all x3605 the men y582 x376 that x834 [are] with x854 him, there shall not x3808 be left 3498 z8738 so much x1571 as y1571 one. 259

 17:14 And Absalom 53 and all x3605 the men 376 of Israel 3478 said, 559 z8799 The counsell 6098 of Hushai 2365 the Archite, 757 [is] better 2896 then the counsell 6098 x4480 of Ahithophel: 302 For the LORD 3068 had appointed 6680 z8765 to defeate 6565 z8687 x853 the good 2896 counsell 6098 of Ahithophel, 302 to the intent 5668 that the LORD 3068 might bring 935 z8687 euill 7451 vpon x413 Absalom. 53

 17:14 And Absalom 53 and all x3605 the men 376 of Israel 3478 said, 559 z8799 The counsel 6098 of Hushai 2365 the Archite 757 [is] better 2896 than the counsel 6098 x4480 of Ahithophel. 302 For the LORD 3068 had appointed 6680 z8765 to defeat 6565 z8687 x853 the good 2896 counsel 6098 of Ahithophel, 302 to the intent 5668 that the LORD 3068 might bring 935 z8687 evil 7451 upon x413 Absalom. 53

 17:15 ¶ Then said 559 z8799 Hushai 2365 vnto x413 Zadok 6659 and to x413 Abiathar 54 the Priestes, 3548 Thus x2063 and thus x2063 did Ahithophel 302 counsell 3289 z8804 x853 Absalom 53 and the Elders 2205 of Israel, 3478 and thus x2063 and thus x2063 haue I x589 counselled. 3289 z8804

 17:15 ¶ Then said 559 z8799 Hushai 2365 unto x413 Zadok 6659 and to x413 Abiathar 54 the priests, 3548 Thus x2063 and thus x2063 did Ahithophel 302 counsel 3289 z8804 x853 Absalom 53 and the elders 2205 of Israel; 3478 and thus x2063 and thus x2063 have I x589 counselled. 3289 z8804

 17:16 Now x6258 therefore send 7971 z8798 quickly, 4120 and tell 5046 z8685 Dauid, 1732 saying, 559 z8800 Lodge 3885 z8799 not x408 this night 3915 in the plaines 6160 z8675 y5679 of the wildernes, 4057 but x1571 speedily 5674 z8800 passe ouer, 5674 z8799 lest x6435 the King 4428 be swallowed vp, 1104 z8792 and all x3605 the people 5971 that x834 are with x854 him.

 17:17 Now Ionathan 3083 and Ahimaaz 290 stayed 5975 z8802 by En-rogel: 5883 (for x3588 they might 3201 z8799 not x3808 be seene 7200 z8736 to come 935 z8800 into the citie) 5892 and a wench 8198 went 1980 z8804 and tolde 5046 z8689 them: and they x1992 went, y3212 z8799 x1980 and tolde 5046 z8689 king 4428 Dauid. 1732

 17:17 Now Jonathan 3083 and Ahimaaz 290 stayed 5975 z8802 by Enrogel; 5883 for x3588 they might 3201 z8799 not x3808 be seen 7200 z8736 to come 935 z8800 into the city: 5892 and a wench 8198 went 1980 z8804 and told 5046 z8689 them; and they x1992 went y3212 z8799 x1980 and told 5046 z8689 king 4428 David. 1732

 17:18 Neuerthelesse, a ladde 5288 saw 7200 z8799 them, and tolde 5046 z8686 Absalom: 53 but they went y3212 z8799 x1980 both 8147 of them away quickely, 4120 and came 935 z8799 to x413 a mans 376 house 1004 in Bahurim, 980 which had a Well 875 in his court, 2691 whither 8033 they went downe. 3381 z8799

 17:18 Nevertheless a lad 5288 saw 7200 z8799 them, and told 5046 z8686 Absalom: 53 but they went y3212 z8799 x1980 both 8147 of them away quickly, 4120 and came 935 z8799 to x413 a man's 376 house 1004 in Bahurim, 980 which had a well 875 in his court; 2691 whither 8033 they went down. 3381 z8799

 17:19 And the woman 802 tooke 3947 z8799 and spread 6566 z8799 x853 a couering 4539 ouer x5921 the welles 875 mouth, 6440 and spread 7849 z8799 ground corne 7383 thereon; x5921 and the thing 1697 was not x3808 knowen. 3045 z8738

 17:19 And the woman 802 took 3947 z8799 and spread 6566 z8799 x853 a covering 4539 over x5921 the well's 875 mouth, 6440 and spread 7849 z8799 ground corn 7383 thereon; x5921 and the thing 1697 was not x3808 known. 3045 z8738

 17:20 And when Absaloms 53 seruants 5650 came 935 z8799 to x413 the woman 802 to the house, 1004 they said, 559 z8799 Where x346 [is] Ahimaaz 290 and Ionathan? 3083 And the woman 802 said 559 z8799 vnto them, They be gone ouer 5674 z8804 the brooke 4323 of water. 4325 And when they had sought, 1245 z8762 and could not x3808 finde 4672 z8804 [them], they returned 7725 z8799 to Ierusalem. 3389

 17:20 And when Absalom's 53 servants 5650 came 935 z8799 to x413 the woman 802 to the house, 1004 they said, 559 z8799 Where x346 [is] Ahimaaz 290 and Jonathan? 3083 And the woman 802 said 559 z8799 unto them, They be gone over 5674 z8804 the brook 4323 of water. 4325 And when they had sought 1245 z8762 and could not x3808 find 4672 z8804 [them], they returned 7725 z8799 to Jerusalem. 3389

 17:21 And it came to passe x1961 after 310 they were departed, y3212 z8800 x1980 that they came vp 5927 z8799 out of the Well, 875 x4480 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 and tolde 5046 z8686 king 4428 Dauid, 1732 and said 559 z8799 vnto x413 Dauid, 1732 Arise, 6965 z8798 and passe quickely y4120 ouer 5674 z8798 x4120 x853 the water: 4325 for x3588 thus x3602 hath Ahithophel 302 counselled 3289 z8804 against x5921 you.

 17:21 And it came to pass, x1961 after 310 they were departed, y3212 z8800 x1980 that they came up 5927 z8799 out of the well, 875 x4480 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 and told 5046 z8686 king 4428 David, 1732 and said 559 z8799 unto x413 David, 1732 Arise, 6965 z8798 and pass quickly y4120 over 5674 z8798 x4120 x853 the water: 4325 for x3588 thus x3602 hath Ahithophel 302 counselled 3289 z8804 against x5921 you.

 17:22 Then Dauid 1732 arose, 6965 z8799 and all x3605 the people 5971 that x834 were with x854 him, and they passed ouer 5674 z8799 x853 Iordane: 3383 by x5704 the morning 1242 light 216 there lacked 5737 z8738 not x3808 one 259 of them that x834 was not x3808 gone ouer 5674 z8804 x853 Iordane. 3383

 17:22 Then David 1732 arose, 6965 z8799 and all x3605 the people 5971 that x834 [were] with x854 him, and they passed over 5674 z8799 x853 Jordan: 3383 by x5704 the morning 1242 light 216 there lacked 5737 z8738 not x3808 one 259 of them that x834 was not x3808 gone over 5674 z8804 x853 Jordan. 3383

 17:23 ¶ And when Ahithophel 302 sawe 7200 z8804 that x3588 his counsell 6098 was not x3808 followed, 6213 z8738 he sadled 2280 z8799 [his] x853 asse, 2543 and arose, 6965 z8799 and gate x1980 him home y3212 z8799 to x413 his house, 1004 to x413 his citie, 5892 and put x6680 x413 his houshold 1004 in order, y6680 z8762 and hanged y2614 z8735 himselfe, x2614 and died, 4191 z8799 and was buried 6912 z8735 in the sepulchre 6913 of his father. 1

 17:23 ¶ And when Ahithophel 302 saw 7200 z8804 that x3588 his counsel 6098 was not x3808 followed, 6213 z8738 he saddled 2280 z8799 [his] x853 ass, 2543 and arose, 6965 z8799 and gat x1980 him home y3212 z8799 to x413 his house, 1004 to x413 his city, 5892 and put x6680 x413 his household 1004 in order, y6680 z8762 and hanged y2614 z8735 himself, x2614 and died, 4191 z8799 and was buried 6912 z8735 in the sepulchre 6913 of his father. 1

 17:24 Then Dauid 1732 came 935 z8804 to Mahanaim: 4266 and Absalom 53 passed ouer 5674 z8804 x853 Iordane, 3383 he x1931 and all x3605 the men 376 of Israel 3478 with x5973 him.

 17:24 Then David 1732 came 935 z8804 to Mahanaim. 4266 And Absalom 53 passed over 5674 z8804 x853 Jordan, 3383 he x1931 and all x3605 the men 376 of Israel 3478 with x5973 him.

 17:25 ¶ And Absalom 53 made 7760 z8804 Amasa 6021 captaine x5921 of the hoste 6635 in stead x8478 of Ioab: 3097 which Amasa 6021 [was] a mans 376 sonne 1121 whose name 8034 [was] Ithra 3501 an Israelite, 3481 that x834 went x935 in y935 z8804 to x413 Abigal 26 the daughter 1323 of Nahash, 5176 sister 269 to Zeruiah 6870 Ioabs 3097 mother. 517
