Löydetty 920 Tulokset: David And Absalom
but Absalom would have them summon Chusai the Arachite, to find out his opinion too. (2 Samuel 17, 5)
So Chusai the Arachite came in, and Absalom told him what Achitophel had said; Were it well done? he asked. What advice givest thou? (2 Samuel 17, 6)
No, by now he is hidden in some pit under ground, or some other vantage-point. A few deaths among his pursuers, and the word will go round, Absalom’s followers are routed! (2 Samuel 17, 9)
Thereupon Absalom and all the men of Israel agreed that Chusai the Arachite had given better counsel than Achitophel. Whereas in truth Achitophel’s advice was the more to their purpose, but the Lord foiled it, to compass Absalom’s ruin. (2 Samuel 17, 14)
Send a message to David, said he, with all speed, telling him not to linger in the desert plain this night, but cross Jordan without delay; else he and all that are with him may be overwhelmed. (2 Samuel 17, 16)
Jonathan and Achimaas stood at their post by the spring of Rogel, and a maid-servant must go and give them the message before they could take it to king David; they did not dare shew themselves in the city. (2 Samuel 17, 17)
Even so a lad saw them, and told Absalom, and they must turn aside with all speed into the house of a man at Bahurim, that had a well by the porch of it, and climb down into this for safety. (2 Samuel 17, 18)
and when Absalom’s men reached the house, asking her where were Jonathan and Achimaas, she said they had gone quickly on their way, only stopping for a mouthful of water; so their pursuers returned baffled to Jerusalem. (2 Samuel 17, 20)
These gone, Jonathan and Achimaas climbed up out of the well, and brought king David word; Bestir yourselves, they said, and cross the river without more ado; and told what advice Achitophel had given. (2 Samuel 17, 21)
So king David and all that bore him company took the road, and were across Jordan before ever dawn broke; not a man was left west of the river. (2 Samuel 17, 22)
David made his way to the Encampment; and now Absalom crossed the Jordan after him, with all Israel at his back. (2 Samuel 17, 24)
In Joab’s place, Absalom gave the command of his army to Amasa, that was son to a man called Jethra, of Jezrahel; he had mated with Abigail, daughter of Naas, that was sister to Joab’s mother Sarvia. (2 Samuel 17, 25)
