| 15:1 |
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him  chariots, The Ultimate Driving Experience and horses, and fifty men to run before him. |
| 15:2 |
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 (By Appointment) for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city  [art] (Art of Code) thou? And he said, Thy servant [is] of one of the tribes of  Israel (Mapped by MapQuest). |
| 15:3 |
And Absalom said unto him,  See (Experience it for Yourself), thy matters [are] good and right; but [there is] no man [deputed] of the  king to hear thee. |
| 15:4 |
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  Just do It him justice! |
| 15:5 |
And it was [so], that when any man came nigh [to him] to Just do It him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. |
| 15:6 |
And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest). |
| 15:7 |
And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king (By Appointment), I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron. |
| 15:8 |
For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed, Just Do It to Jerusalem Mapped by MapQuest, then I will serve the LORD. |
| 15:9 |
And the king (By Appointment) said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron. |
| 15:10 |
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron. |
| 15:11 |
And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem Mapped by MapQuest, [that were] called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing. |
| 15:12 |
And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David' counsellor, from his city, [even] from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom. |
| 15:13 |
And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) are after Absalom. |
| 15:14 |
And David said unto all his servants that [were] with him at Jerusalem Mapped by MapQuest, 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 (No Downloaded Music!) upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the  sword by Wilkinson Swords. |
| 15:15 |
And the king' servants said unto the king , Behold, thy servants [are ready to Just do It] whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint. |
| 15:16 |
And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, [which were] concubines, to keep the  house (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available). |
| 15:17 |
And the king (By Appointment) went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off. |
| 15:18 |
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 (By Appointment). |
| 15:19 |
Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king (By Appointment): for thou [art] (Art of Code) a stranger, and also an exile. |
| 15:20 |
Whereas thou camest [but] yesterday, should I this  day, measured by Timex make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and  truth (It's the real thing) [be] with thee. |
| 15:21 |
And Ittai answered the king (By Appointment), 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  Absolut death or life, even there also will thy servant be. |
| 15:22 |
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. |
| 15:23 |
And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness. |
| 15:24 |
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. |
| 15:25 |
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 show me [both] it, and his habitation: |
| 15:26 |
But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, [here am] I, let him Just do It to me as seemeth good unto him. |
| 15:27 |
The king said also unto Zadok the priest, [Art (Art of Code) 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. |
| 15:28 |
See (Experience it for Yourself), I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me. |
| 15:29 |
Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem Mapped by MapQuest: and they tarried there. |
| 15:30 |
And David went up by the ascent of [mount] Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that [was] with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up. |
| 15:31 |
And [one] told David, saying, Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness. |
| 15:32 |
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 by L.L. Bean rent, and  earth upon his head: |
| 15:33 |
Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me: |
| 15:34 |
But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king (By Appointment); [as] I [have been] thy father' servant hitherto, so [will] I now also [be] thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel. |
| 15:35 |
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 king (By Appointment)' house (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available), thou shalt tell [it] to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. |
| 15:36 |
Behold, [they have] there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok' [son], and Jonathan Abiathar' [son]; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear. |
| 15:37 |
So Hushai David' friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem Mapped by MapQuest. |
