\v 2 And I \w saw|strong="H7200"\w* in a \w vision|strong="H2377"\w*; and it came to pass, when I \w saw|strong="H7200"\w*, that I \add was\add* at \w Shushan|strong="H7800"\w* \add in\add* the \w palace|strong="H1002"\w*, which \add is\add* in the \w province|strong="H4082"\w* of \w Elam|strong="H5867"\w*; and I \w saw|strong="H7200"\w* in a \w vision|strong="H2377"\w*, and I was by the \w river|strong="H0180"\w* of \w Ulai|strong="H0195"\w*.
\v 3 Then I lifted \w up|strong="H5375"\w* mine \w eyes|strong="H5869"\w*, and \w saw|strong="H7200"\w*, and, behold, there \w stood|strong="H5975"\w* \w before|strong="H6440"\w* the \w river|strong="H0180"\w* \w a|strong="H0259"\w* \w ram|strong="H0352"\w* which had \add two\add* \w horns|strong="H7161"\w*: and the \add two\add* \w horns|strong="H7161"\w* \add were\add* \w high|strong="H1364"\w*; but \w one|strong="H0259"\w* \add was\add* \w higher|strong="H1364"\w* than the \w other|strong="H8145"\w*, and the \w higher|strong="H1364"\w* came \w up|strong="H5927"\w* \w last|strong="H0314"\w*.\f + \fr 8.3 \ft the other: Heb. the second\f*
\v 4 I \w saw|strong="H7200"\w* the \w ram|strong="H0352"\w* \w pushing|strong="H5055"\w* \w westward|strong="H3220"\w*, and \w northward|strong="H6828"\w*, and \w southward|strong="H5045"\w*; so that no \w beasts|strong="H2416"\w* might \w stand|strong="H5975"\w* \w before|strong="H6440"\w* him, neither \add was there any\add* that could \w deliver|strong="H5337"\w* out of his \w hand|strong="H3027"\w*; but he \w did|strong="H6213"\w* according to his \w will|strong="H7522"\w*, and became \w great|strong="H1431"\w*.

\v 1 And it came to pass in the \w month|strong="H2320"\w* \w Nisan|strong="H5212"\w*, in the \w twentieth|strong="H6242"\w* \w year|strong="H8141"\w* of \w Artaxerxes|strong="H0783"\w* the \w king|strong="H4428"\w*, \add that\add* \w wine|strong="H3196"\w* \add was\add* \w before|strong="H6440"\w* him: and I took \w up|strong="H5375"\w* the \w wine|strong="H3196"\w*, and \w gave|strong="H5414"\w* \add it\add* unto the \w king|strong="H4428"\w*. Now I had not been \add beforetime\add* \w sad|strong="H7451"\w* in his \w presence|strong="H6440"\w*.
\v 2 Wherefore the \w king|strong="H4428"\w* \w said|strong="H0559"\w* unto me, Why \add is\add* thy \w countenance|strong="H6440"\w* \w sad|strong="H7451"\w*, seeing thou \add art\add* not \w sick|strong="H2470"\w*? this \add is\add* nothing \add else\add* but \w sorrow|strong="H7455"\w* of \w heart|strong="H3820"\w*. Then I was \w very|strong="H3966"\w* \w sore|strong="H7235"\w* \w afraid|strong="H3372"\w*,
\v 3 And \w said|strong="H0559"\w* unto the \w king|strong="H4428"\w*, Let the \w king|strong="H4428"\w* \w live|strong="H2421"\w* for \w ever|strong="H5769"\w*: why should not my \w countenance|strong="H6440"\w* be \w sad|strong="H3415"\w*, when the \w city|strong="H5892"\w*, the \w place|strong="H1004"\w* of my \w fathers’|strong="H0001"\w* \w sepulchres|strong="H6913"\w*, \add lieth\add* \w waste|strong="H2720"\w*, and the \w gates|strong="H8179"\w* thereof are \w consumed|strong="H0398"\w* with \w fire|strong="H0784"\w*?
\v 4 Then the \w king|strong="H4428"\w* \w said|strong="H0559"\w* unto me, For what dost thou make \w request|strong="H1245"\w*? So I \w prayed|strong="H6419"\w* to the \w God|strong="H0430"\w* of \w heaven|strong="H8064"\w*.
\v 5 And I \w said|strong="H0559"\w* unto the \w king|strong="H4428"\w*, If it \w please|strong="H2895"\w* the \w king|strong="H4428"\w*, and if thy \w servant|strong="H5650"\w* have found \w favour|strong="H3190"\w* in thy \w sight|strong="H6440"\w*, that thou wouldest \w send|strong="H7971"\w* me unto \w Judah|strong="H3063"\w*, unto the \w city|strong="H5892"\w* of my \w fathers’|strong="H0001"\w* \w sepulchres|strong="H6913"\w*, that I may \w build|strong="H1129"\w* it.
\v 6 And the \w king|strong="H4428"\w* \w said|strong="H0559"\w* unto me, (the \w queen|strong="H7694"\w* also \w sitting|strong="H3427"\w* by \w him|strong="H0681"\w*,) For how long shall thy \w journey|strong="H4109"\w* be? and when wilt thou \w return|strong="H7725"\w*? So it \w pleased|strong="H3190"\w* the \w king|strong="H4428"\w* to \w send|strong="H7971"\w* me; and I \w set|strong="H5414"\w* him a \w time|strong="H2165"\w*.\f + \fr 2.6 \ft queen: Heb. wife\f*
\v 7 Moreover I \w said|strong="H0559"\w* unto the \w king|strong="H4428"\w*, If it \w please|strong="H2895"\w* the \w king|strong="H4428"\w*, let \w letters|strong="H0107"\w* be \w given|strong="H5414"\w* me to the \w governors|strong="H6346"\w* \w beyond|strong="H5676"\w* the \w river|strong="H5104"\w*, that they may convey me \w over|strong="H5674"\w* till I \w come|strong="H0935"\w* into \w Judah|strong="H3063"\w*;

And the \w king|strong="H4428"\w* \w granted|strong="H5414"\w* me, according to the \w good|strong="H2896"\w* \w hand|strong="H3027"\w* of my \w God|strong="H0430"\w* upon me.
\p
\v 9 ¶ Then I \w came|strong="H0935"\w* to the \w governors|strong="H6346"\w* \w beyond|strong="H5676"\w* the \w river|strong="H5104"\w*, and \w gave|strong="H5414"\w* them the \w king’s|strong="H4428"\w* \w letters|strong="H0107"\w*. Now the \w king|strong="H4428"\w* had \w sent|strong="H7971"\w* \w captains|strong="H8269"\w* of the \w army|strong="H2428"\w* and \w horsemen|strong="H6571"\w* with me.
\v 10 When \w Sanballat|strong="H5571"\w* the \w Horonite|strong="H2772"\w*, and \w Tobiah|strong="H2900"\w* the \w servant|strong="H5650"\w*, the \w Ammonite|strong="H5984"\w*, \w heard|strong="H8085"\w* \add of it\add*, it \w grieved|strong="H3415"\w* them \w exceedingly|strong="H7451"\w* that there was \w come|strong="H0935"\w* a \w man|strong="H0120"\w* to \w seek|strong="H1245"\w* the \w welfare|strong="H2896"\w* of the \w children|strong="H1121"\w* of \w Israel|strong="H3478"\w*.
\v 11 So I \w came|strong="H0935"\w* to \w Jerusalem|strong="H3389"\w*, and was there \w three|strong="H7969"\w* \w days|strong="H3117"\w*.
\p
\v 12 ¶ And I \w arose|strong="H6965"\w* in the \w night|strong="H3915"\w*, I and \w some|strong="H4592"\w* \w few|strong="H4592"\w* \w men|strong="H0582"\w* with me; neither \w told|strong="H5046"\w* I \add any\add* \w man|strong="H0120"\w* what my \w God|strong="H0430"\w* had \w put|strong="H5414"\w* in my \w heart|strong="H3820"\w* to \w do|strong="H6213"\w* at \w Jerusalem|strong="H3389"\w*: neither \add was there any\add* \w beast|strong="H0929"\w* with me, save the \w beast|strong="H0929"\w* that I rode \w upon|strong="H7392"\w*.
\v 13 And I went \w out|strong="H3318"\w* by \w night|strong="H3915"\w* by the \w gate|strong="H8179"\w* of the \w valley|strong="H1516"\w*, even \w before|strong="H6440"\w* the \w dragon|strong="H8577"\w* \w well|strong="H5869"\w*, and to the \w dung|strong="H0830"\w* \w port|strong="H8179"\w*, and \w viewed|strong="H7663"\w* the \w walls|strong="H2346"\w* of \w Jerusalem|strong="H3389"\w*, which were broken \w down|strong="H6555"\w*, and the \w gates|strong="H8179"\w* thereof were \w consumed|strong="H0398"\w* with \w fire|strong="H0784"\w*.
\v 14 Then I went \w on|strong="H5674"\w* to the \w gate|strong="H8179"\w* of the \w fountain|strong="H5869"\w*, and to the \w king’s|strong="H4428"\w* \w pool|strong="H1295"\w*: but \add there was\add* no \w place|strong="H4725"\w* for the \w beast|strong="H0929"\w* \add that was\add* under me to \w pass|strong="H5674"\w*.
\v 15 Then went I \w up|strong="H5927"\w* in the \w night|strong="H3915"\w* by the \w brook|strong="H5158"\w*, and \w viewed|strong="H7663"\w* the \w wall|strong="H2346"\w*, and turned \w back|strong="H7725"\w*, and \w entered|strong="H0935"\w* by the \w gate|strong="H8179"\w* of the \w valley|strong="H1516"\w*, and \add so\add* \w returned|strong="H7725"\w*.
\v 16 And the \w rulers|strong="H5461"\w* \w knew|strong="H3045"\w* not whither I \w went|strong="H1980"\w*, or what I \w did|strong="H6213"\w*; neither had I as \w yet|strong="H3651"\w* \w told|strong="H5046"\w* \add it\add* to the \w Jews|strong="H3064"\w*, nor to the \w priests|strong="H3548"\w*, nor to the \w nobles|strong="H2715"\w*, nor to the \w rulers|strong="H5461"\w*, nor to the \w rest|strong="H3499"\w* that \w did|strong="H6213"\w* the \w work|strong="H4399"\w*.
\p
\v 17 ¶ Then \w said|strong="H0559"\w* I unto them, Ye \w see|strong="H7200"\w* the \w distress|strong="H7451"\w* that we \add are\add* in, how \w Jerusalem|strong="H3389"\w* \add lieth\add* \w waste|strong="H2720"\w*, and the \w gates|strong="H8179"\w* thereof are \w burned|strong="H3341"\w* with \w fire|strong="H0784"\w*: \w come|strong="H3212"\w*, and let us build \w up|strong="H1129"\w* the \w wall|strong="H2346"\w* of \w Jerusalem|strong="H3389"\w*, that we be no more a \w reproach|strong="H2781"\w*.
\v 18 Then I \w told|strong="H5046"\w* them of the \w hand|strong="H3027"\w* of my \w God|strong="H0430"\w* which was \w good|strong="H2896"\w* upon me; as also the \w king’s|strong="H4428"\w* \w words|strong="H1697"\w* that he had \w spoken|strong="H0559"\w* unto me. And they \w said|strong="H0559"\w*, Let us rise \w up|strong="H6965"\w* and \w build|strong="H1129"\w*. So they \w strengthened|strong="H2388"\w* their \w hands|strong="H3027"\w* for \add this\add* \w good|strong="H2896"\w* \add work\add*.
\v 19 But when \w Sanballat|strong="H5571"\w* the \w Horonite|strong="H2772"\w*, and \w Tobiah|strong="H2900"\w* the \w servant|strong="H5650"\w*, the \w Ammonite|strong="H5984"\w*, and \w Geshem|strong="H1654"\w* the \w Arabian|strong="H6163"\w*, \w heard|strong="H8085"\w* \add it\add*, they laughed us to \w scorn|strong="H3932"\w*, and \w despised|strong="H0959"\w* us, and \w said|strong="H0559"\w*, What \add is\add* this \w thing|strong="H1697"\w* that ye \w do|strong="H6213"\w*? will ye \w rebel|strong="H4775"\w* against the \w king|strong="H4428"\w*?
\v 20 Then \w answered|strong="H7725"\w* I them, and \w said|strong="H0559"\w* unto them, The \w God|strong="H0430"\w* of \w heaven|strong="H8064"\w*, he will \w prosper|strong="H6743"\w* us; therefore we his \w servants|strong="H5650"\w* will \w arise|strong="H6965"\w* and \w build|strong="H1129"\w*: but ye have no \w portion|strong="H2506"\w*, nor \w right|strong="H6666"\w*, nor \w memorial|strong="H2146"\w*, in \w Jerusalem|strong="H3389"\w*.

Then held they their \w peace|strong="H2790"\w*, and \w found|strong="H4672"\w* \w nothing|strong="H1697"\w* \add to answer\add*.
\v 9 Also I \w said|strong="H0559"\w*, It \add is\add* not \w good|strong="H2896"\w* \w that|strong="H1697"\w* ye \w do|strong="H6213"\w*: ought ye not to \w walk|strong="H3212"\w* in the \w fear|strong="H3374"\w* of our \w God|strong="H0430"\w* because of the \w reproach|strong="H2781"\w* of the \w heathen|strong="H1471"\w* our \w enemies|strong="H0341"\w*?
\v 10 I likewise, \add and\add* my \w brethren|strong="H0251"\w*, and my \w servants|strong="H5288"\w*, might \w exact|strong="H5383"\w* of them \w money|strong="H3701"\w* and \w corn|strong="H1715"\w*: I pray you, let us leave \w off|strong="H5800"\w* this \w usury|strong="H4855"\w*.

\v 1 Now it came to pass, when \w Sanballat|strong="H5571"\w*, and \w Tobiah|strong="H2900"\w*, and \w Geshem|strong="H1654"\w* the \w Arabian|strong="H6163"\w*, and the \w rest|strong="H3499"\w* of our \w enemies|strong="H0341"\w*, \w heard|strong="H8085"\w* that I had \w builded|strong="H1129"\w* the \w wall|strong="H2346"\w*, and \add that\add* there was no \w breach|strong="H6556"\w* \w left|strong="H3498"\w* therein; (\w though|strong="H1571"\w* at that \w time|strong="H6256"\w* I had not set \w up|strong="H5975"\w* the \w doors|strong="H1817"\w* upon the \w gates|strong="H8179"\w*;)
\v 2 That \w Sanballat|strong="H5571"\w* and \w Geshem|strong="H1654"\w* \w sent|strong="H7971"\w* unto me, \w saying|strong="H0559"\w*, \w Come|strong="H3212"\w*, let us \w meet|strong="H3259"\w* \w together|strong="H3162"\w* in \add some one of\add* the \w villages|strong="H3715"\w* in the \w plain|strong="H1237"\w* of \w Ono|strong="H0207"\w*.

\v 5 Then \w sent|strong="H7971"\w* \w Sanballat|strong="H5571"\w* his \w servant|strong="H5288"\w* unto me in like \w manner|strong="H1697"\w* the \w fifth|strong="H2549"\w* \w time|strong="H6471"\w* with an \w open|strong="H6605"\w* \w letter|strong="H0107"\w* in his \w hand|strong="H3027"\w*;

\v 7 And thou hast also \w appointed|strong="H5975"\w* \w prophets|strong="H5030"\w* to \w preach|strong="H7121"\w* of thee at \w Jerusalem|strong="H3389"\w*, \w saying|strong="H0559"\w*, \add There is\add* a \w king|strong="H4428"\w* in \w Judah|strong="H3063"\w*: and now shall it be \w reported|strong="H8085"\w* to the \w king|strong="H4428"\w* according to these \w words|strong="H1697"\w*. \w Come|strong="H3212"\w* now therefore, and let us take \w counsel|strong="H3289"\w* \w together|strong="H3162"\w*.

\v 9 For they all made us \w afraid|strong="H3372"\w*, \w saying|strong="H0559"\w*, Their \w hands|strong="H3027"\w* shall be \w weakened|strong="H7503"\w* from the \w work|strong="H4399"\w*, that it be not \w done|strong="H6213"\w*.

\v 10 Afterward I \w came|strong="H0935"\w* unto the \w house|strong="H1004"\w* of \w Shemaiah|strong="H8098"\w* the \w son|strong="H1121"\w* of \w Delaiah|strong="H1806"\w* the \w son|strong="H1121"\w* of \w Mehetabeel|strong="H4105"\w*, who \add was\add* shut \w up|strong="H6113"\w*; and he \w said|strong="H0559"\w*, Let us meet \w together|strong="H3259"\w* in the \w house|strong="H1004"\w* of \w God|strong="H0430"\w*, \w within|strong="H8432"\w* the \w temple|strong="H1964"\w*, and let us \w shut|strong="H5462"\w* the \w doors|strong="H1817"\w* of the \w temple|strong="H1964"\w*: for they will \w come|strong="H0935"\w* to \w slay|strong="H2026"\w* thee; yea, in the \w night|strong="H3915"\w* will they \w come|strong="H0935"\w* to \w slay|strong="H2026"\w* thee.

\v 13 Moreover, \w if|strong="H0518"\w* he be \w gotten|strong="H0622"\w* into a \w city|strong="H5892"\w*, then shall all \w Israel|strong="H3478"\w* \w bring|strong="H5375"\w* \w ropes|strong="H2256"\w* to that \w city|strong="H5892"\w*, and we will \w draw|strong="H5498"\w* it into the \w river|strong="H5158"\w*, until there be not \w one|strong="H1571"\w* small \w stone|strong="H6872"\w* \w found|strong="H4672"\w* there.
\v 14 And \w Absalom|strong="H0053"\w* and all the \w men|strong="H0376"\w* of \w Israel|strong="H3478"\w* \w said|strong="H0559"\w*, The \w counsel|strong="H6098"\w* of \w Hushai|strong="H2365"\w* the \w Archite|strong="H0757"\w* \add is\add* \w better|strong="H2896"\w* than the \w counsel|strong="H6098"\w* of \w Ahithophel|strong="H0302"\w*.

\p
\v 15 ¶ Then \w said|strong="H0559"\w* \w Hushai|strong="H2365"\w* unto \w Zadok|strong="H6659"\w* and to \w Abiathar|strong="H0054"\w* the \w priests|strong="H3548"\w*, Thus and thus did \w Ahithophel|strong="H0302"\w* \w counsel|strong="H3289"\w* \w Absalom|strong="H0053"\w* and the \w elders|strong="H2205"\w* of \w Israel|strong="H3478"\w*; and thus and thus have I \w counselled|strong="H3289"\w*.
\v 16 Now therefore \w send|strong="H7971"\w* \w quickly|strong="H4120"\w*, and \w tell|strong="H5046"\w* \w David|strong="H1732"\w*, \w saying|strong="H0559"\w*, \w Lodge|strong="H3885"\w* not this \w night|strong="H3915"\w* in the \w plains|strong="H6160"\w* of the \w wilderness|strong="H4057"\w*, but \w speedily|strong="H5674"\w* pass \w over|strong="H5674"\w*; lest the \w king|strong="H4428"\w* be swallowed \w up|strong="H1104"\w*, and all the \w people|strong="H5971"\w* that \add are\add* with him.
\v 17 Now \w Jonathan|strong="H3083"\w* and \w Ahimaaz|strong="H0290"\w* \w stayed|strong="H5975"\w* by \w En-rogel|strong="H5883"\w*; for they \w might|strong="H3201"\w* not be \w seen|strong="H7200"\w* to \w come|strong="H0935"\w* into the \w city|strong="H5892"\w*: and a \w wench|strong="H8198"\w* \w went|strong="H1980"\w* and \w told|strong="H5046"\w* them; and they \w went|strong="H3212"\w* and \w told|strong="H5046"\w* \w king|strong="H4428"\w* \w David|strong="H1732"\w*.
\v 18 Nevertheless a \w lad|strong="H5288"\w* \w saw|strong="H7200"\w* them, and \w told|strong="H5046"\w* \w Absalom|strong="H0053"\w*: but they \w went|strong="H3212"\w* \w both|strong="H8147"\w* of them away \w quickly|strong="H4120"\w*, and \w came|strong="H0935"\w* to a \w man’s|strong="H0376"\w* \w house|strong="H1004"\w* in \w Bahurim|strong="H0980"\w*, which had a \w well|strong="H0875"\w* in his \w court|strong="H2691"\w*; \w whither|strong="H8033"\w* they went \w down|strong="H3381"\w*.
\v 19 And the \w woman|strong="H0802"\w* \w took|strong="H3947"\w* and \w spread|strong="H6566"\w* a \w covering|strong="H4539"\w* over the \w well’s|strong="H0875"\w* \w mouth|strong="H6440"\w*, and \w spread|strong="H7849"\w* ground \w corn|strong="H7383"\w* thereon; and the \w thing|strong="H1697"\w* was not \w known|strong="H3045"\w*.
\v 20 And when \w Absalom’s|strong="H0053"\w* \w servants|strong="H5650"\w* \w came|strong="H0935"\w* to the \w woman|strong="H0802"\w* to the \w house|strong="H1004"\w*, they \w said|strong="H0559"\w*, Where \add is\add* \w Ahimaaz|strong="H0290"\w* and \w Jonathan|strong="H3083"\w*?

\v 21 And it came to pass, \w after|strong="H0310"\w* they were \w departed|strong="H3212"\w*, that they came \w up|strong="H5927"\w* out of the \w well|strong="H0875"\w*, and \w went|strong="H3212"\w* and \w told|strong="H5046"\w* \w king|strong="H4428"\w* \w David|strong="H1732"\w*, and \w said|strong="H0559"\w* unto \w David|strong="H1732"\w*, \w Arise|strong="H6965"\w*, and pass \w quickly|strong="H4120"\w* \w over|strong="H5674"\w* the \w water|strong="H4325"\w*: for thus hath \w Ahithophel|strong="H0302"\w* \w counselled|strong="H3289"\w* against you.
\p
\v 22 Then \w David|strong="H1732"\w* \w arose|strong="H6965"\w*, and all the \w people|strong="H5971"\w* that \add were\add* with him, and they passed \w over|strong="H5674"\w* \w Jordan|strong="H3383"\w*: by the \w morning|strong="H1242"\w* \w light|strong="H0216"\w* there \w lacked|strong="H5737"\w* not \w one|strong="H0259"\w* of them that was not gone \w over|strong="H5674"\w* \w Jordan|strong="H3383"\w*.

\v 25 ¶ And \w Absalom|strong="H0053"\w* \w made|strong="H7760"\w* \w Amasa|strong="H6021"\w* captain of the \w host|strong="H6635"\w* instead of \w Joab|strong="H3097"\w*: which \w Amasa|strong="H6021"\w* \add was\add* a \w man’s|strong="H0376"\w* \w son|strong="H1121"\w*, whose \w name|strong="H8034"\w* \add was\add* \w Ithra|strong="H3501"\w* an \w Israelite|strong="H3481"\w*, that went \w in|strong="H0935"\w* to \w Abigail|strong="H0026"\w* the \w daughter|strong="H1323"\w* of \w Nahash|strong="H5176"\w*, \w sister|strong="H0269"\w* to \w Zeruiah|strong="H6870"\w* \w Joab’s|strong="H3097"\w* \w mother|strong="H0517"\w*.\f + \fr 17.25 \ft Ithra an Israelite: or, Jether an Ishmaelite\f*\f + \fr 17.25 \ft Abigail: Heb.
