2 Samuel 15:32-36
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
32
It happened as David was coming to the summit, where God was worshiped, that behold, Hushai the Archite met him with his coat torn, and dust on his head.
33
And David said to him, 'If you go over with me, then you will become a burden to me.
34
But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king; even
as
I was your father’s servant in time past, so now I will also be your servant,’ then you can foil the advice of Ahithophel for me.
35
Are Zadok and Abiathar the priests not with you there? So it shall be that whatever you hear from the king’s house, you shall report to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36
Behold their two sons are there with them, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s
son
and Jonathan, Abiathar’s
son;
and by them you shall send me everything that you hear.'
King James Version
Chapter 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 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 father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
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's 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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 15
32
When David came to the summit where he used to worship God, Hushai the Archite was there to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.
33
David said to him, "If you go away with me, you’ll be a burden to me,
34
but if you return to the city and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, Your Majesty! Previously, I was your father’s servant, but now I will be your servant,’ then you can counteract Ahithophel’s counsel for me.
35
Won’t the priests Zadok and Abiathar be there with you? Report everything you hear from the palace to the priests Zadok and Abiathar.
36
Take note: their two sons are there with them—Zadok’s son Ahimaaz and Abiathar’s son Jonathan. Send them to tell me everything you hear."
New Living Translation
Chapter 15
32
When David reached the summit of the Mount of Olives where people worshiped God, Hushai the Arkite was waiting there for him. Hushai had torn his clothing and put dirt on his head as a sign of mourning.
33
But David told him, 'If you go with me, you will only be a burden.
34
Return to Jerusalem and tell Absalom, ‘I will now be your adviser, O king, just as I was your father’s adviser in the past.’ Then you can frustrate and counter Ahithophel’s advice.
35
Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, will be there. Tell them about the plans being made in the king’s palace,
36
and they will send their sons Ahimaaz and Jonathan to tell me what is going on.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 15
32
While David was coming to the summit, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn and dirt on his head.
33
David said to him, "If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me.
34
But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘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, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36
Behold, their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok 's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar 's son, and by them you shall send to me everything you hear."
New International Version
Chapter 15
32
When David arrived at the summit, where people used to worship God, Hushai the Arkite was there to meet him, his robe torn and dust on his head.
33
David said to him, "If you go with me, you will be a burden to me.
34
But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘Your Majesty, I will be your servant; I was your father’s servant in the past, but now I will be your servant,’ then you can help me by frustrating Ahithophel’s advice.
35
Won’t the priests Zadok and Abiathar be there with you? Tell them anything you hear in the king’s palace.
36
Their two sons, Ahimaaz son of Zadok and Jonathan son of Abiathar, are there with them. Send them to me with anything you hear."
New King James Version
Chapter 15
32
Now it happened when David had come to the top
of the mountain,
where he worshiped God—there was Hushai the Archite coming to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.
33
David said to him, “If you go on with me, then you will become a burden to me.
34
But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, ‘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 Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36
Indeed
they have
there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s
son,
and Jonathan, Abiathar’s
son;
and by them you shall send me everything you hear.”
