2 Samuel 15 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Now it happened ^H1961 at the end ^H7093 of [fn]forty ^H705 years ^H8141 that Absalom ^H53 said ^H559 to the king ^H4428, “Please ^H4994 let me go ^H1980 and pay ^H7999 my vow ^H5088 which ^H834 I have vowed ^H5087 to Yahweh ^H3068, in Hebron ^H2275.

Then an informant ^H5046 came ^H935 to David ^H1732, saying ^H559, “The hearts ^H3820 of the men ^H376 of Israel ^H3478 [fn]have followed Absalom ^H53.”

Then the king ^H4428 said ^H559 to Ittai ^H863 the Gittite ^H1663, “Why ^H4100 will you also ^H1571 go ^H1980 with us? Return ^H7725 and remain ^H3427 with the king ^H4428, for you are a foreigner ^H5237 and also ^H1571 an exile ^H1540; return to your own place ^H4725.

Now behold ^H2009, Zadok ^H6659 also ^H1571 came, and all ^H3605 the Levites ^H3881 with him carrying ^H5375 the ark ^H727 of the covenant ^H1285 of God ^H430. And they set ^H3332 down ^H3332 the ark ^H727 of God ^H430, and Abiathar ^H54 came ^H5927 up ^H5927 until ^H5704 all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 had finished ^H8552 passing ^H5674 from the city ^H5892.

But David ^H1732 went ^H5927 up ^H5927 the ascent ^H4608 of the Mount of Olives ^H2132, and wept ^H1058 as he went ^H5927, and his head ^H7218 was covered ^H2645 and he was walking ^H1980 barefoot ^H3182. And all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 who ^H834 were with him each ^H376 covered ^H2645 his head ^H7218 and went ^H5927 up ^H5927 weeping ^H1058 as they went ^H5927.

Then it happened ^H1961 that as David ^H1732 was coming ^H935 to the summit ^H7218, where ^H834 H8033 he used to worship ^H2331 God ^H430, that behold ^H2009, Hushai ^H2365 the Archite ^H757 met ^H7122 him with his [fn]coat ^H3801 torn ^H7167 and [fn]dust ^H127 on his head ^H7218.
