32. Hushai is sent back with Instructions AND it came to pass after this that Absalom prepared him Chariots and Horses and Fifty Men to run before him 2. And Absalom rose up early and stood beside the way of the Gate And it was so that when any Man that had a Controversy came to the King for Judgment then Absalom called unto him and said of what City art thou And he said Thy Servant is of one of the Tribes of Israel 3. And Absalom said unto him See thy matters are good and right but there is no Man deputed of the King to hear thee 4. Absalom said moreover oh that I were made Judge in the Land that every Man which hath any Suit or Cause might come unto me and I would do him Justice 5. And it was so that when any Man came nigh to him to do him obeysance he put forth his Hand and took him and kissed him 6. And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the King for Judgment So Absalom stole the Hearts of the Men of Israel 7. And it came to pass after forty years that Absalom said to the King I pray thee let me go pay my Vow which I have vowed unto the Lord in Hebron 8. For thy Servant vowed a Vow while I abode in Geshur in Syria saying if the Lord shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem then I will serve the Lord 9. And the King said unto him Go in Peace So he arose and went to Hebron 10. But Absalom sent Spies throughout all the Tribes of Israel saying as soon as ye hear the Sound of the Trumpet then ye shall say Absalom reigneth in Hebron 11. And with Absalom went two hundred Men out of Jerusalem that were called and they went in their Simplicity and they knew not any thing 12. And Absalom sent for Ahitophel the Gilonite Davids Counsellor from his City even from Giloh while he offered Sacrifices And the Conspiracy was strong for the People increased continually with Absalom 13. And there came a Messenger to David saying the Hearts of the Men of Israel are after Absalom 14. And David said unto all his Servants that were with him at Jerusalem arise and let us flee for we shall not else escape from Absalom Make speed to depart lest he overtake us suddenly and bring evil upon us and smite the City with the edge of the Sword 15. And the Kings Servants said unto the King Behold thy Servants are ready to do whatsoever my Lord the King shall appoint 16. And the King went forth and all his Houshold after him and the King left Ten Women which were Concubines to keep the House 17. And the King went forth and all the People after him and tarried in a Place that was far off 18. And all his Servants passed on beside him and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites Six Hundred Men which came after him from Gath passed on before the King 19. Then said the King to Ittai the Gittite wherefore goest thou also with us Return to thy Place and abide with the King For thou art a Stranger and also an Exile 20. Whereas thou camest but yesterday should I this Day make thee go up and down with us seeing I go whether I may return thou and take back thy Brethren Mercy and Truth be with thee 21. And Ittai answered the King and said as the Lord liveth and as my Lord the King liveth surely in what Place my Lord the King shall be whether in Death or Life even there also will thy Servant be 22. And David said to Ittai go and pass over And Ittai the Gittite passed over and all his Men and all the little ones that were with him 23. And all the Country wept with a loud Voice and all the People passed over The King also himself passed over the Brook Kidion and all the People passed over towards the way of the Wilderness 24. And lo Zadok also and all the Levites were with him bearing the Ark of the Covenant of God and they set down the Ark of God and Abiathar went up until all the People had done passing out of the City 25. And the King said unto Zadok carry back the Ark of God into the City If I shall find favour in the Eyes of the Lord he will bring me again and shew me both it and his Habitation 26. But if he thus say I have no delight in thee Behold here am I let him do to me as seemeth good unto him 27. The King said also unto Zadok the Priest Art not thou a Seer Return into the City in Peace and your Two Sons with you Ahimaaz thy Son and Jonathan the Son of Abiathar 28. See I will tarry in the Plain of the Wilderness until there come Word from you to certify me 29. Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the Ark of God again to Jerusalem and they tarried there 30. And David went up by the Ascent of Mount Olivet and wept as he went up and had his Head covered and he went bare-foot And all the People that was with him covered every Man his head and they went up weeping as they went up 31. And one told David saying Ahitophel is among the Conspirators with Absalom And David said O Lord I pray thee turn the Counsel of Ahitophel into Foolishness 32. And it came to pass that when David was come to the top of the mount where he worshipped God behold Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his Coat rent and Earth upon his Head 33. Unto whom David said if thou passest on with me then thou shalt be a Burden unto me 34. But if thou return to the City and say unto Absalom I will be thy Servant O King as I have been thy Fathers Servant hitherto so will I now also be thy Servant Then mayest thou for me defeat the Counsel of Ahitophel 35. And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the Priests Therefore it shall be that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the Kings House thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the Priests 36. Behold they have there with them their Two Sons Ahimaaz Zadok's Son and Jonathan Abiathar's Son And by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear 37.
