2 Samuel


  • |2 Samuel 17:11| “I recommend that you mobilize the entire army of Israel, bringing them from as far away as Dan in the north and Beersheba in the south. That way you will have an army as numerous as the sand on the seashore. And I advise that you personally lead the troops.

  • |2 Samuel 17:12| When we find David, we’ll fall on him like dew that falls on the ground. Then neither he nor any of his men will be left alive.

  • |2 Samuel 17:13| And if David were to escape into some town, you will have all Israel there at your command. Then we can take ropes and drag the walls of the town into the nearest valley until every stone is torn down.”

  • |2 Samuel 17:14| Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “Hushai’s advice is better than Ahithophel’s.” For the lord had determined to defeat the counsel of Ahithophel, which really was the better plan, so that he could bring disaster on Absalom!

  • |2 Samuel 17:15| Hushai told Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, what Ahithophel had said to Absalom and the elders of Israel and what he himself had advised instead.

  • |2 Samuel 17:16| “Quick!” he told them. “Find David and urge him not to stay at the shallows of the Jordan River tonight. He must go across at once into the wilderness beyond. Otherwise he will die and his entire army with him.”

  • |2 Samuel 17:17| Jonathan and Ahimaaz had been staying at En-rogel so as not to be seen entering and leaving the city. Arrangements had been made for a servant girl to bring them the message they were to take to King David.

  • |2 Samuel 17:18| But a boy spotted them at En-rogel, and he told Absalom about it. So they quickly escaped to Bahurim, where a man hid them down inside a well in his courtyard.

  • |2 Samuel 17:19| The man’s wife put a cloth over the top of the well and scattered grain on it to dry in the sun; so no one suspected they were there.

  • |2 Samuel 17:20| When Absalom’s men arrived, they asked her, “Have you seen Ahimaaz and Jonathan?”The woman replied, “They were here, but they crossed over the brook.” Absalom’s men looked for them without success and returned to Jerusalem.
