| וי֥אמר אחית֖פל אל־אבשל֑ם אבחר֣ה נ֗א שנים־עש֥ר א֙לף֙ א֔יש ואק֛ומה וארדפ֥ה אחרי־דו֖ד הלֽילה׃ | 2Sam 17:1 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night: |
| ואב֣וא על֗יו וה֤וא יג֙ע֙ ורפ֣ה יד֔ים והֽחרדת֣י את֔ו ונ֖ס כל־הע֣ם אשר־את֑ו והכית֥י את־המ֖לך לבדֽו׃ | 2Sam 17:2 And 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: |
| ואש֥יבה כל־הע֖ם אל֑יך כש֣וב הכ֔ל האיש֙ אש֣ר את֣ה מבק֔ש כל־הע֖ם יהי֥ה שלֽום׃ | 2Sam 17:3 And 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. |
| וייש֥ר הדב֖ר בעינ֣י אבשל֑ם ובעינ֖י כל־זקנ֥י ישראֽל׃ | 2Sam 17:4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel. |
| וי֙אמר֙ אבשל֔ום קר֣א נ֔א ג֖ם לחוש֣י הארכ֑י ונשמע֥ה מה־בפ֖יו גם־הֽוא׃ | 2Sam 17:5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith. |
| ויב֣א חושי֘ אל־אבשלום֒ ויאמר֩ אבשל֨ום אל֜יו לאמ֗ר כדב֤ר הזה֙ דב֣ר אחית֔פל הנעש֖ה את־דבר֑ו אם־א֖ין את֥ה דבֽר׃ | 2Sam 17:6 And 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. |
| וי֥אמר חוש֖י אל־אבשל֑ום לֽא־טוב֧ה העצ֛ה אשר־יע֥ץ אחית֖פל בפ֥עם הזֽאת׃ | 2Sam 17:7 And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time. |
| וי֣אמר חוש֗י את֣ה י֠דעת את־אב֨יך ואת־אנש֜יו כ֧י גבר֣ים ה֗מה ומר֥י נ֙פש֙ ה֔מה כד֥ב שכ֖ול בשד֑ה ואב֙יך֙ א֣יש מלחמ֔ה ול֥א יל֖ין את־העֽם׃ | 2Sam 17:8 For, 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. |
| הנ֨ה עת֤ה הֽוא־נחבא֙ באח֣ת הפחת֔ים א֖ו באח֣ד המקומ֑ת והי֗ה כנפ֤ל בהם֙ בתחל֔ה ושמ֤ע השמ֙ע֙ ואמ֔ר הֽיתה֙ מגפ֔ה בע֕ם אש֖ר אחר֥י אבשלֽם׃ | 2Sam 17:9 Behold, 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. |
| וה֣וא גם־בן־ח֗יל אש֥ר לב֛ו כל֥ב הארי֖ה המ֣ס ימ֑ס כֽי־יד֤ע כל־ישראל֙ כי־גב֣ור אב֔יך ובני־ח֖יל אש֥ר אתֽו׃ | 2Sam 17:10 And 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. |
| כ֣י יע֗צתי ה֠אסף יאס֨ף על֤יך כל־ישראל֙ מדן֙ ועד־בא֣ר ש֔בע כח֥ול אשר־על־הי֖ם לר֑ב ופנ֥יך הלכ֖ים בקרֽב׃ | 2Sam 17:11 Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person. |
| וב֣אנו אל֗יו באח֤ד המקומת֙ אש֣ר נמצ֣א ש֔ם ונ֣חנו על֔יו כאש֛ר יפ֥ל הט֖ל על־האדמ֑ה ולֽא־נ֥ותר ב֛ו ובכל־האנש֥ים אשר־את֖ו גם־אחֽד׃ | 2Sam 17:12 So 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. |
| ואם־אל־עיר֙ יֽאס֔ף והש֧יאו כֽל־ישרא֛ל אל־הע֥יר הה֖יא חבל֑ים וסח֤בנו אתו֙ עד־הנ֔חל ע֛ד אשֽר־לא־נמצ֥א ש֖ם גם־צרֽור׃ | 2Sam 17:13 Moreover, 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. |
| וי֤אמר אבשלום֙ וכל־א֣יש ישרא֔ל טוב֗ה עצת֙ חוש֣י הארכ֔י מעצ֖ת אחית֑פל ויהו֣ה צו֗ה להפ֞ר את־עצ֤ת אחית֙פל֙ הטוב֔ה לבעב֗ור הב֧יא יהו֛ה אל־אבשל֖ום את־הרעֽה׃ | 2Sam 17:14 And 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. |
| וי֣אמר חוש֗י אל־צד֤וק ואל־אביתר֙ הכ֣הנ֔ים כז֣את וכז֗את יע֤ץ אחית֙פל֙ את־אבשל֔ם וא֖ת זקנ֣י ישרא֑ל וכז֥את וכז֖את יע֥צתי אֽני׃ | 2Sam 17:15 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. |
| ועת֡ה שלח֣ו מהרה֩ והג֨ידו לדו֜ד לאמ֗ר אל־ת֤לן הל֙ילה֙ בעֽרב֣ות המדב֔ר וג֖ם עב֣ור תעב֑ור פ֚ן יבל֣ע למ֔לך ולכל־הע֖ם אש֥ר אתֽו׃ | 2Sam 17:16 Now 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. |
| ויהונת֨ן ואחימ֜עץ עמד֣ים בעין־רג֗ל והלכ֤ה השפחה֙ והג֣ידה לה֔ם והם֙ יֽלכ֔ו והג֖ידו למ֣לך דו֑ד כ֣י ל֥א יוכל֛ו להרא֖ות לב֥וא העֽירה׃ | 2Sam 17:17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by Enrogel; 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. |
| וי֤רא אתם֙ נ֔ער ויג֖ד לאבשל֑ם וילכו֩ שניה֨ם מהר֜ה ויב֣או׀ אל־בֽית־א֣יש בבחור֗ים ול֥ו בא֛ר בחצר֖ו וי֥רדו שֽם׃ | 2Sam 17:18 Nevertheless 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. |
| ותק֣ח האש֗ה ותפר֤ש את־המסך֙ על־פנ֣י הבא֔ר ותשט֥ח על֖יו הֽרפ֑ות ול֥א נוד֖ע דבֽר׃ | 2Sam 17:19 And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known. |
| ויב֣או עבדי֩ אבשל֨ום אֽל־האש֜ה הב֗יתה ויֽאמרו֙ אי֗ה אחימ֙עץ֙ ויה֣ונת֔ן ות֤אמר להם֙ הֽאש֔ה עבר֖ו מיכ֣ל המ֑ים ויבקשו֙ ול֣א מצ֔או ויש֖בו ירושלֽם׃ | 2Sam 17:20 And 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. |
| ויה֣י׀ אחר֣י לכת֗ם וֽיעלו֙ מֽהבא֔ר וי֣לכ֔ו ויג֖דו למ֣לך דו֑ד ויאמר֣ו אל־דו֗ד ק֣ומו ועבר֤ו מהרה֙ את־המ֔ים כי־כ֛כה יע֥ץ עליכ֖ם אחיתֽפל׃ | 2Sam 17:21 And 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. |
| וי֣קם דו֗ד וכל־העם֙ אש֣ר את֔ו ויעבר֖ו את־הירד֑ן עד־א֣ור הב֗קר עד־אחד֙ ל֣א נעד֔ר אש֥ר לא־עב֖ר את־הירדֽן׃ | 2Sam 17:22 Then 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. |
| ואחית֣פל רא֗ה כ֣י ל֣א נעשתה֘ עצתו֒ ויחב֣ש אֽת־החמ֗ור וי֜קם וי֤לך אל־ביתו֙ אל־עיר֔ו ויצ֥ו אל־בית֖ו ויחנ֑ק וי֕מת ויקב֖ר בק֥בר אבֽיו׃ | 2Sam 17:23 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. |
| ודו֖ד ב֣א מחנ֑ימה ואבשל֗ם עבר֙ את־הירד֔ן ה֕וא וכל־א֥יש ישרא֖ל עמֽו׃ | 2Sam 17:24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. |
| ואת־עמש֗א ש֧ם אבשל֛ם ת֥חת יוא֖ב על־הצב֑א ועמש֣א בן־א֗יש ושמו֙ יתר֣א הישראל֔י אשר־בא֙ אל־אביג֣ל בת־נח֔ש אח֥ות צרוי֖ה א֥ם יואֽב׃ | 2Sam 17:25 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. |
| וי֤חן ישראל֙ ואבשל֔ם א֖רץ הגלעֽד׃ | 2Sam 17:26 So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead. |
| ויה֕י כב֥וא דו֖ד מחנ֑ימה ושב֨י בן־נח֜ש מרב֣ת בנֽי־עמ֗ון ומכ֤יר בן־עמיאל֙ מל֣א דב֔ר וברזל֥י הגלעד֖י מרגלֽים׃ | 2Sam 17:27 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 Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim, |
| משכ֤ב וספות֙ וכל֣י יוצ֔ר וחט֥ים ושער֖ים וק֣מח וקל֑י ופ֥ול ועדש֖ים וקלֽי׃ | 2Sam 17:28 Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse, |
| ודב֣ש וחמא֗ה וצאן֙ ושפ֣ות בק֔ר הג֧ישו לדו֛ד ולע֥ם אשר־את֖ו לאכ֑ול כ֣י אמר֔ו הע֗ם רע֛ב ועי֥ף וצמ֖א במדבֽר׃ | 2Sam 17:29 And 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. |
