Absalón conspira contra David

15 Pasado algún tiempo, Absalón consiguió carros de combate, algunos caballos y una escolta de cincuenta soldados. 2 Se levantaba temprano y se ponía a la vera del camino, junto a la entrada de la ciudad. Cuando pasaba alguien que iba a ver al rey para resolver un pleito, Absalón lo llamaba y le preguntaba de qué pueblo venía. Aquel le decía de qué tribu israelita era 3 y Absalón aseguraba: «Tu demanda es muy justa, pero no habrá quien te escuche de parte del rey». 4 Enseguida añadía: «¡Ojalá me pusieran por juez en el país! Todo el que tuviera un pleito o una demanda vendría a mí y yo le haría justicia».

5 Además de esto, si alguien se acercaba para postrarse ante él, Absalón le tendía los brazos, lo abrazaba y lo saludaba con un beso. 6 Esto hacía Absalón con todos los israelitas que iban a ver al rey para que les resolviera algún asunto, y así fue ganándose el cariño del pueblo.

7 Al cabo de cuatro[a] años, Absalón dijo al rey:

—Permítame ir a Hebrón, a cumplir una promesa que hice al Señor. 8 Cuando vivía en Guesur de Aram, hice esta promesa: “Si el Señor me concede volver a Jerusalén, le ofreceré un sacrificio”.

9 —Vete tranquilo —respondió el rey.

Absalón emprendió la marcha a Hebrón, 10 pero al mismo tiempo envió mensajeros por todas las tribus de Israel con este mensaje: «Tan pronto como oigan el toque de trompeta, exclamen: “¡Absalón reina en Hebrón!”». 11 Además, desde Jerusalén llevó Absalón a doscientos invitados, los cuales lo acompañaron de buena fe y sin sospechar nada. 12 Luego, mientras celebraba los sacrificios, Absalón mandó llamar a un consejero de su padre David, el cual se llamaba Ajitofel y era del pueblo de Guiló. Así la conspiración fue tomando fuerza, y el número de los que seguían a Absalón crecía más y más.

13 Un mensajero llevó a David esta noticia: «Todos los israelitas se han puesto de parte de Absalón».

14 Entonces David dijo a todos los oficiales que estaban con él en Jerusalén:

—¡Vámonos de aquí! Tenemos que huir, pues de otro modo no podremos escapar de Absalón. Démonos prisa, no sea que él se nos adelante. Si nos alcanza, nos traerá la ruina y pasará a toda la gente a filo de espada.

15 —Como diga Su Majestad —respondieron los oficiales—; nosotros estamos para servirle.

16 De inmediato partió el rey acompañado de toda la corte, con excepción de diez concubinas[b] que dejó para cuidar el palacio. 17 Habiendo salido del palacio con todo su séquito, se detuvo junto a la casa más lejana de la ciudad. 18 Todos sus oficiales se pusieron a su lado. Entonces los quereteos y los peleteos, y seiscientos guititas que lo habían seguido desde Gat, desfilaron ante el rey.

19 El rey se dirigió a Itay el guitita:

—¿Y tú por qué vienes con nosotros? Regresa y quédate con el rey Absalón, ya que eres extranjero y has sido desterrado de tu propio país. 20 ¿Cómo voy a dejar que nos acompañes, si acabas de llegar y ni yo mismo sé a dónde vamos? Regresa y llévate a tus paisanos. ¡Y que el amor y la fidelidad de Dios te acompañen!

21 Pero Itay respondió al rey:

—¡Tan cierto como que el Señor vive, y tan cierto como que mi señor el rey vive, le aseguro que, para vida o para muerte, iré adondequiera que usted vaya!

22 —Está bien —contestó David—, ven con nosotros.

Así que Itay el guitita marchó con todos los hombres de David y con las familias que lo acompañaban.

23 Todo el pueblo lloraba a gritos mientras David pasaba con su gente y, cuando el rey cruzó el arroyo de Cedrón, toda la gente comenzó la marcha hacia el desierto.

24 Entre ellos se encontraba también Sadoc, con los levitas que llevaban el arca del pacto de Dios. Estos hicieron descansar el arca en el suelo, y Abiatar ofreció sacrificios[c] hasta que toda la gente terminó de salir de la ciudad.

25 Luego dijo el rey al sacerdote Sadoc:

—Devuelve el arca de Dios a la ciudad. Si cuento con el favor del Señor, él hará que yo regrese y vuelva a ver el arca y el lugar donde él reside. 26 Pero si él me hace saber que no le agrado, quedo a su merced y puede hacer conmigo lo que mejor le parezca.

27 También dijo:

—Como tú eres vidente, puedes volver tranquilo a la ciudad con Abiatar, y llevarte contigo a tu hijo Ajimaz y a Jonatán, hijo de Abiatar. 28 Yo me quedaré en las llanuras del desierto hasta que ustedes me informen de la situación.

29 Entonces Sadoc y Abiatar volvieron a Jerusalén con el arca de Dios y allí se quedaron.

30 David, por su parte, subió al monte de los Olivos llorando, con la cabeza cubierta y los pies descalzos. También todos los que lo acompañaban se cubrieron la cabeza y subieron llorando. 31 En eso informaron a David que Ajitofel se había unido a la conspiración de Absalón. Entonces David oró: «Señor, te ruego que fracasen los planes de Ajitofel».

32 Cuando David llegó a la cumbre del monte, donde se adoraba a Dios, se encontró con Husay, el arquita, que en señal de duelo llevaba las vestiduras rasgadas y la cabeza cubierta de tierra. 33 David le dijo:

—Si vienes conmigo, vas a serme una carga. 34 Es mejor que regreses a la ciudad y le digas a Absalón: “Majestad, estoy a su servicio. Antes fui siervo de su padre, pero ahora lo soy de usted”. De ese modo podrás ayudarme a desbaratar los planes de Ajitofel. 35 Allí contarás con los sacerdotes Sadoc y Abiatar, así que mantenlos informados de todo lo que escuches en el palacio real. 36 También contarás con Ajimaz, hijo de Sadoc, y con Jonatán, hijo de Abiatar; comuníquenme ustedes por medio de ellos cualquier cosa que averigüen.

37 Husay, que era amigo de David, llegó a Jerusalén en el momento en que Absalón entraba en la ciudad.

Absalom's Conspiracy

15 After this Absalom (A)got himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him. 2 And Absalom used to rise early and stand beside (B)the way of the gate. And when any man had a dispute to come before the king for judgment, Absalom would call to him and say, “From what city are you?” And when he said, “Your servant is of such and such a tribe in Israel,” 3 Absalom would say to him, “See, your claims are good and right, but there is no man designated by the king to hear you.” 4 Then Absalom would say, (C)“Oh that I were judge in the land! Then every man with a dispute or cause might come to me, and I would give him justice.” 5 And whenever a man came near to pay homage to him, he would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him. 6 Thus Absalom did to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

7 And at the end of four[a] years Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the Lord, in Hebron. 8 For your servant (D)vowed a vow (E)while I lived at Geshur in Aram, saying, ‘If the Lord will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will offer worship to[b] the Lord.’” 9 The king said to him, (F)“Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron. 10 But Absalom sent secret messengers throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then say, ‘Absalom is king at Hebron!’” 11 With Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem (G)who were invited guests, and they went in their innocence and knew nothing. 12 And while Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for[c] (H)Ahithophel the Gilonite, (I)David's counselor, from his city (J)Giloh. And the conspiracy grew strong, and the people with Absalom (K)kept increasing.

David Flees Jerusalem

13 And a messenger came to David, saying, (L)“The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.” 14 Then David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise, and let us (M)flee, or else there will be no escape for us from Absalom. Go quickly, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down ruin on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword.” 15 And the king's servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king decides.” 16 So the king went out, and all his household after him. And the king left (N)ten concubines to keep the house. 17 And the king went out, and all the people after him. And they halted at the last house.

18 And (O)all his servants passed by him, and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the six hundred Gittites who had followed him from (P)Gath, passed on before the king. 19 Then the king said to (Q)Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Go back and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner and also an exile from your home. 20 You came only yesterday, and shall I today make you wander about with us, since I go (R)I know not where? Go back and take your brothers with you, and may the Lord show[d] steadfast love and faithfulness to you.” 21 But Ittai answered the king, (S)“As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, (T)wherever my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, there also will your servant be.” 22 And David said to Ittai, “Go then, pass on.” So Ittai the Gittite passed on with all his men and all the little ones who were with him. 23 And all the land wept aloud as all the people passed by, and the king crossed (U)the brook (V)Kidron, and all the people passed on toward (W)the wilderness.

24 And (X)Abiathar came up, and behold, (Y)Zadok came also with all the Levites, (Z)bearing the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God until the people had all passed out of the city. 25 Then the king said to Zadok, “Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the Lord, he will (AA)bring me back and let me see both it and his (AB)dwelling place. 26 But if he says, ‘I have no (AC)pleasure in you,’ behold, here I am, (AD)let him do to me what seems good to him.” 27 The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a (AE)seer? Go back[e] to the city in peace, with (AF)your two sons, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 28 See, I will wait at (AG)the fords of (AH)the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.” 29 So Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and they remained there.

30 But David went up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went, (AI)barefoot and (AJ)with his head covered. And all the people who were with him covered their heads, and they went up, (AK)weeping as they went. 31 And it was told David, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, please (AL)turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”

32 While David was coming to the summit, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai (AM)the Archite came to meet him (AN)with his coat torn and (AO)dirt on his head. 33 David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will be (AP)a burden to me. 34 But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, (AQ)‘I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father's servant in time past, so now I will be your servant,’ then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel. 35 Are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? So whatever you hear from the king's house, (AR)tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. 36 Behold, (AS)their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son, (AT)and by them you shall send to me everything you hear.” 37 So Hushai, (AU)David's friend, came into the city, (AV)just as Absalom was entering Jerusalem.

Absalom’s Treason

15 After this (A)it happened that Absalom (B)provided himself with chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. 2 Now Absalom would rise early and stand beside the way to the gate. So it was, whenever anyone who had a (C)lawsuit[a] came to the king for a decision, that Absalom would call to him and say, “What city are you from?” And he would say, “Your servant is from such and such a tribe of Israel.” 3 Then Absalom would say to him, “Look, your [b]case is good and right; but there is no [c]deputy of the king to hear you.” 4 Moreover Absalom would say, (D)“Oh, that I were made judge in the land, and everyone who has any suit or cause would come to me; then I would give him justice.” 5 And so it was, whenever anyone came near to bow down to him, that he would put out his hand and take him and (E)kiss him. 6 In this manner Absalom acted toward all Israel who came to the king for judgment. (F)So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

7 Now it came to pass (G)after [d]forty years that Absalom said to the king, “Please, let me go to (H)Hebron and pay the vow which I made to the Lord. 8 (I)For your servant (J)took a vow (K)while I dwelt at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the Lord indeed brings me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.’ ”

9 And the king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.

10 Then Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom (L)reigns in Hebron!’ ” 11 And with Absalom went two hundred men (M)invited from Jerusalem, and they (N)went along innocently and did not know anything. 12 Then Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, (O)David’s counselor, from his city—from (P)Giloh—while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy grew strong, for the people with Absalom (Q)continually increased in number.

David Escapes from Jerusalem

13 Now a messenger came to David, saying, (R)“The hearts of the men of Israel are [e]with Absalom.”

14 So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise, and let us (S)flee, or we shall not escape from Absalom. Make haste to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly and bring disaster upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”

15 And the king’s servants said to the king, “We are your servants, ready to do whatever my lord the king commands.” 16 Then (T)the king went out with all his household after him. But the king left (U)ten women, concubines, to keep the house. 17 And the king went out with all the people after him, and stopped at the outskirts. 18 Then all his servants passed [f]before him; (V)and all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, (W)six hundred men who had followed him from Gath, passed before the king.

19 Then the king said to (X)Ittai the Gittite, “Why are you also going with us? Return and remain with the king. For you are a foreigner and also an exile from your own place. 20 In fact, you came only yesterday. Should I make you wander up and down with us today, since I go (Y)I know not where? Return, and take your brethren back. Mercy and truth be with you.”

21 But Ittai answered the king and said, (Z)“As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in whatever place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also your servant will be.”

22 So David said to Ittai, “Go, and cross over.” Then Ittai the Gittite and all his men and all the little ones who were with him crossed over. 23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people crossed over. The king himself also crossed over the Brook Kidron, and all the people crossed over toward the way of the (AA)wilderness.

24 There was (AB)Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, bearing the (AC)ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and (AD)Abiathar went up until all the people had finished crossing over from the city. 25 Then the king said to Zadok, “Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the Lord, He (AE)will bring me back and show me both it and (AF)His dwelling place. 26 But if He says thus: ‘I have no (AG)delight in you,’ here I am, (AH)let Him do to me as seems good to Him.” 27 The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a (AI)seer?[g] Return to the city in peace, and (AJ)your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 28 See, (AK)I will wait in the plains of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.” 29 Therefore Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem. And they remained there.

30 So David went up by the Ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he (AL)had his head covered and went (AM)barefoot. And all the people who were with him (AN)covered their heads and went up, (AO)weeping as they went up. 31 Then someone told David, saying, (AP)“Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, I pray, (AQ)turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”

32 Now it happened when David had come to the top of the mountain, where he worshiped God—there was Hushai the (AR)Archite coming to meet him (AS)with his robe torn and dust on his head. 33 David said to him, “If you go on with me, then you will become (AT)a burden to me. 34 But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, (AU)‘I will be your servant, O king; as I was your father’s servant previously, so I will now also be your servant,’ then you may defeat the counsel of Ahithophel for me. 35 And do you not have Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? Therefore it will be that whatever you hear from the king’s house, you shall tell to (AV)Zadok and Abiathar the priests. 36 Indeed they have there (AW)with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send me everything you hear.”

37 So Hushai, (AX)David’s friend, went into the city. (AY)And Absalom came into Jerusalem.

15 2 The practices of Absalom to aspire to the kingdom. 14 David and his flee. 31 David’s prayer. 34 Hushai is sent to Absalom to discover his counsel.

1 After this, Absalom [a]prepared him chariots, and horses, and fifty men to [b]run before him.

2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood hard by the entering in of the gate: and every man that had any [c]matter, and came to the king for judgment, him did Absalom call unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he answered, Thy servant is of one of the [d]tribes of Israel.

3 Then Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and righteous, but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.

4 Absalom said moreover, [e]Oh that I were made Judge in the land, that every man which hath any matter of controversy, might come to me, that I might do him justice.

5 And when any man came near to him, and did him obeisance, 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 [f]stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

7 ¶ And after [g]forty years, Absalom said unto the King, I pray thee, let me go to Hebron, and render my vow which I have vowed unto the Lord.

8 For thy servant vowed a vow when I remained at Geshur, in Aram, saying, If the Lord shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, I will [h]serve the Lord.

9 And the King said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.

10 ¶ Then Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When ye hear the sound of the trumpet, ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.

11 ¶ And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were [i]called: and they went in their simplicity, knowing nothing.

12 Also Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite David’s counselor, from his city Giloh, while he offered sacrifices: and the treason was great: for the people [j]increased still with Absalom.

13 ¶ Then came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are turned after Absalom.

14 Then David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Up, and let us flee: for we shall not escape from [k]Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he come suddenly and take us, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.

15 And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, thy servants are ready to do according to all that my lord the king shall [l]appoint.

16 So the king departed and all his household [m]after him, and the king left ten concubines to keep the house.

17 And the king went forth and all the people after him, and tarried in a [n]place [o]far off.

18 And all his servants went about him, and all the [p]Cherethites and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, even six hundred men which were come after him from Gath, went before the king.

19 Then said the King to [q]Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore comest thou also with us? Return and abide with the King, for thou art a stranger, depart thou therefore to thy place.

20 Thou camest yesterday, and should I cause thee to wander today and go with us? I will go whither I can: therefore return thou, and carry again thy [r]brethren: mercy and [s]truth be with thee.

21 And Ittai answered the King, and said, As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there surely will thy servant be.

22 Then David said to Ittai, Come, and go forward. And Ittai the Gittite went, and all his men, and all the children that were with him.

23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and [t]all the people went forward, but the King passed over the brook Kidron: and all the people went over toward the way of the wilderness.

24 ¶ And lo, Zadok also was there, and all the Levites with him, [u]bearing the Ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the Ark of God: and Abiathar went [v]up until the people were all come out of the city.

25 Then the King said unto Zadok, Carry the Ark of God again into the city: if I shall find favor in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and the [w]Tabernacle thereof.

26 But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee, behold, [x]here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good in his eyes.

27 The King said again unto Zadok the Priest, Art not thou a (A)Seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you: to wit, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

28 Behold, I will tarry in the fields of the wilderness, until there come some word from you to be told me.

29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the Ark of God again to Jerusalem, and they tarried there.

30 And David went up the mount of olives, and wept as he went up, and had his head [y]covered, and went barefooted: and all the people that was with him, had every man his head covered, and as they went up, they wept.

31 Then one told David, saying, Ahithophel is one of them that have conspired with Absalom: and David said, O Lord, I pray thee, turn the [z]counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

32 ¶ Then David came to the top of the mount where he worshipped God: and behold, Hushai the Archite came against him with his coat torn, and having earth upon his head.

33 Unto whom David said, If thou go with me, thou shalt be a burthen unto me.

34 But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy [aa]servant, O King (as I have been in time past thy father’s servant, so will I now be thy servant) then thou mayest bring me the counsel of Ahithophel to nought.

35 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the Priests? therefore whatsoever thou shalt hear out of the King’s house, thou shalt show to Zadok and Abiathar the Priests.

36 Behold, there are with them their two sons: Ahimaaz Zadok’s son, and Jonathan Abiathar’s son: by them also shall ye send me everything that ye can hear.

37 So Hushai David’s friend went into the city: and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
