LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και εγενετο μετα ταυτα και εποιησεν εαυτω αβεσσαλωμ αρματα και ιππους και πεντηκοντα ανδρας παρατρεχειν εμπροσθεν αυτου	1 Then, after these things, Absalom obtained for himself chariots, and horsemen, and fifty men who went before him.
2 και ωρθρισεν αβεσσαλωμ και εστη ανα χειρα της οδου της πυλης και εγενετο πας ανηρ ω εγενετο κρισις ηλθεν προς τον βασιλεα εις κρισιν και εβοησεν προς αυτον αβεσσαλωμ και ελεγεν αυτω εκ ποιας πολεως συ ει και ειπεν ο ανηρ εκ μιας φυλων ισραηλ ο δουλος σου	2 And rising up in the morning, Absalom was standing beside the entrance of the gate. And when there was any man who had a dispute that might go before the king’s judgment, Absalom would call him to him, and would say, “Which city are you from?” And responding, he would say, “I am your servant, from a certain tribe of Israel.”
3 και ειπεν προς αυτον αβεσσαλωμ ιδου οι λογοι σου αγαθοι και ευκολοι και ακουων ουκ εστιν σοι παρα του βασιλεως	3 And Absalom would answer him: “Your words seem good and just to me. But there is no one appointed by the king to hear you.” And Absalom would say:
4 και ειπεν αβεσσαλωμ τις με καταστησει κριτην εν τη γη και επ' εμε ελευσεται πας ανηρ ω εαν η αντιλογια και κρισις και δικαιωσω αυτον	4 “Who may appoint me judge over the land, so that all those who have a dispute might come to me, and I might judge justly.”
5 και εγενετο εν τω εγγιζειν ανδρα του προσκυνησαι αυτω και εξετεινεν την χειρα αυτου και επελαμβανετο αυτου και κατεφιλησεν αυτον	5 Then too, when a man would draw near to him, so that he might greet him, he would extend his hand, and taking hold of him, he would kiss him.
6 και εποιησεν αβεσσαλωμ κατα το ρημα τουτο παντι ισραηλ τοις παραγινομενοις εις κρισιν προς τον βασιλεα και ιδιοποιειτο αβεσσαλωμ την καρδιαν ανδρων ισραηλ	6 And he was doing this to all those of Israel arriving for judgment to be heard by the king. And he solicited the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 και εγενετο απο τελους τεσσαρακοντα ετων και ειπεν αβεσσαλωμ προς τον πατερα αυτου πορευσομαι δη και αποτεισω τας ευχας μου ας ηυξαμην τω κυριω εν χεβρων	7 Then, after forty years, Absalom said to king David: “I should go and pay my vows, which I have vowed to the Lord at Hebron.
8 οτι ευχην ηυξατο ο δουλος σου εν τω οικειν με εν γεδσουρ εν συρια λεγων εαν επιστρεφων επιστρεψη με κυριος εις ιερουσαλημ και λατρευσω τω κυριω	8 For your servant made a vow, when he was in Geshur of Syria, saying: If the Lord will lead me back to Jerusalem, I will sacrifice to the Lord.”
9 και ειπεν αυτω ο βασιλευς βαδιζε εις ειρηνην και αναστας επορευθη εις χεβρων	9 And king David said to him, “Go in peace.” And he rose up and went away to Hebron.
10 και απεστειλεν αβεσσαλωμ κατασκοπους εν πασαις φυλαις ισραηλ λεγων εν τω ακουσαι υμας την φωνην της κερατινης και ερειτε βεβασιλευκεν βασιλευς αβεσσαλωμ εν χεβρων	10 They Absalom sent scouts into all the tribes of Israel, saying: “As soon as you hear the blare of the trumpet, say: ‘Absalom reigns in Hebron.’ ”
11 και μετα αβεσσαλωμ επορευθησαν διακοσιοι ανδρες εξ ιερουσαλημ κλητοι και πορευομενοι τη απλοτητι αυτων και ουκ εγνωσαν παν ρημα	11 Now having been called, two hundred men from Jerusalem went forth with Absalom, going in simplicity of heart and being entirely ignorant of the plan.
12 και απεστειλεν αβεσσαλωμ και εκαλεσεν τον αχιτοφελ τον γελμωναιον τον συμβουλον δαυιδ εκ της πολεως αυτου εκ γωλα εν τω θυσιαζειν αυτον και εγενετο συστρεμμα ισχυρον και ο λαος πορευομενος και πολυς μετα αβεσσαλωμ	12 Absalom also summoned Ahithophel the Gilonite, a counselor of David, from his city, Giloh. And when he was immolating victims, a very strong oath was sworn, and the people, hurrying together, joined with Absalom.
13 και παρεγενετο ο απαγγελλων προς δαυιδ λεγων εγενηθη η καρδια ανδρων ισραηλ οπισω αβεσσαλωμ	13 Then a messenger went to David, saying, “With their whole heart, all of Israel is following Absalom.”
14 και ειπεν δαυιδ πασιν τοις παισιν αυτου τοις μετ' αυτου τοις εν ιερουσαλημ αναστητε και φυγωμεν οτι ουκ εστιν ημιν σωτηρια απο προσωπου αβεσσαλωμ ταχυνατε του πορευθηναι ινα μη ταχυνη και καταλαβη ημας και εξωση εφ' ημας την κακιαν και παταξη την πολιν στοματι μαχαιρης	14 And David said to his servants, who were with him in Jerusalem: “Rise up, let us flee! For otherwise there will be no escape for us from the face of Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest perhaps, upon arriving, he may seize us, and force ruin upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
15 και ειπον οι παιδες του βασιλεως προς τον βασιλεα κατα παντα οσα αιρειται ο κυριος ημων ο βασιλευς ιδου οι παιδες σου	15 And the servants of the king said to him, “Everything whatsoever that our lord the king will command, we your servants shall carry out willingly.”
16 και εξηλθεν ο βασιλευς και πας ο οικος αυτου τοις ποσιν αυτων και αφηκεν ο βασιλευς δεκα γυναικας των παλλακων αυτου φυλασσειν τον οικον	16 Therefore, the king departed, with his entire household on foot. And the king left behind ten women of the concubines to care for the house.
17 και εξηλθεν ο βασιλευς και παντες οι παιδες αυτου πεζη και εστησαν εν οικω τω μακραν	17 And having gone forth on foot, the king and all of Israel stood at a distance from the house.
18 και παντες οι παιδες αυτου ανα χειρα αυτου παρηγον και πας ο χεττι και πας ο φελετθι και εστησαν επι της ελαιας εν τη ερημω και πας ο λαος παρεπορευετο εχομενος αυτου και παντες οι περι αυτον και παντες οι αδροι και παντες οι μαχηται εξακοσιοι ανδρες και παρησαν επι χειρα αυτου και πας ο χερεθθι και πας ο φελεθθι και παντες οι γεθθαιοι εξακοσιοι ανδρες οι ελθοντες τοις ποσιν αυτων εκ γεθ πορευομενοι επι προσωπον του βασιλεως	18 And all his servants were walking beside him. And the legions of the Cerethites and Phelethites, and all the Gittites, powerful fighters, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath on foot, were preceding the king.
19 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς εθθι τον γεθθαιον ινα τι πορευη και συ μεθ' ημων επιστρεφε και οικει μετα του βασιλεως οτι ξενος ει συ και οτι μετωκηκας συ εκ του τοπου σου	19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite: “Why do you come with us? Return and live with the king. For you are a stranger, and you departed from your own place.
20 ει εχθες παραγεγονας και σημερον κινησω σε μεθ' ημων και γε μεταναστησεις τον τοπον σου εχθες η εξελευσις σου και σημερον μετακινησω σε μεθ' ημων του πορευθηναι και εγω πορευσομαι ου αν εγω πορευθω επιστρεφου και επιστρεψον τους αδελφους σου μετα σου και κυριος ποιησει μετα σου ελεος και αληθειαν	20 You arrived yesterday. And today should you be compelled to go away with us? For I should go to the place where I am going. But you should return, and lead your own brothers back with you. And the Lord will show mercy and truth to you, because you have shown grace and faith.”
21 και απεκριθη εθθι τω βασιλει και ειπεν ζη κυριος και ζη ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς οτι εις τον τοπον ου εαν η ο κυριος μου και εαν εις θανατον και εαν εις ζωην οτι εκει εσται ο δουλος σου	21 And Ittai responded to the king, by saying, “As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, in whatever place you will be, my lord the king, whether in death or in life, your servant will be there.”
22 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς εθθι δευρο και διαβαινε μετ' εμου και παρηλθεν εθθι ο γεθθαιος και παντες οι παιδες αυτου και πας ο οχλος ο μετ' αυτου	22 And David said to Ittai, “Come, and pass over.” And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all the men who were with him, and the rest of the multitude.
23 και πασα η γη εκλαιεν φωνη μεγαλη και πας ο λαος παρεπορευοντο εν τω χειμαρρω κεδρων και ο βασιλευς διεβη τον χειμαρρουν κεδρων και πας ο λαος και ο βασιλευς παρεπορευοντο επι προσωπον οδου την ερημον	23 And they all wept with a great voice, and all the people passed over. The king also passed over the torrent Kidron. And all the people advanced opposite the way which looks out toward the desert.
24 και ιδου και γε σαδωκ και παντες οι λευιται μετ' αυτου αιροντες την κιβωτον διαθηκης κυριου απο βαιθαρ και εστησαν την κιβωτον του θεου και ανεβη αβιαθαρ εως επαυσατο πας ο λαος παρελθειν εκ της πολεως	24 Now Zadok the priest also went, and all the Levites went with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God. And Abiathar went up, until all the people who had departed from the city had gone by.
25 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς τω σαδωκ αποστρεψον την κιβωτον του θεου εις την πολιν εαν ευρω χαριν εν οφθαλμοις κυριου και επιστρεψει με και δειξει μοι αυτην και την ευπρεπειαν αυτης	25 And the king said to Zadok: “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will lead me back. And he will show it to me in his tabernacle.
26 και εαν ειπη ουτως ουκ ηθεληκα εν σοι ιδου εγω ειμι ποιειτω μοι κατα το αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις αυτου	26 But if he will say to me, ‘You are not pleasing,’ I am ready. Let him do whatever is good in his own sight.”
27 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς τω σαδωκ τω ιερει ιδετε συ επιστρεφεις εις την πολιν εν ειρηνη και αχιμαας ο υιος σου και ιωναθαν ο υιος αβιαθαρ οι δυο υιοι υμων μεθ' υμων	27 And the king said to Zadok the priest: “O seer, return into the city in peace. And let your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you.
28 ιδετε εγω ειμι στρατευομαι εν αραβωθ της ερημου εως του ελθειν ρημα παρ' υμων του απαγγειλαι μοι	28 Behold, I will hide in the plains of the desert, until word from you may arrive to inform me.”
29 και απεστρεψεν σαδωκ και αβιαθαρ την κιβωτον εις ιερουσαλημ και εκαθισεν εκει	29 Therefore, Zadok and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem, and they remained there.
30 και δαυιδ ανεβαινεν εν τη αναβασει των ελαιων αναβαινων και κλαιων και την κεφαλην επικεκαλυμμενος και αυτος επορευετο ανυποδετος και πας ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου επεκαλυψεν ανηρ την κεφαλην αυτου και ανεβαινον αναβαινοντες και κλαιοντες	30 But David ascended to the Mount of Olives, climbing and weeping, advancing with bare feet and with his head covered. Moreover, all the people who were with him ascended, weeping with their heads covered.
31 και ανηγγελη δαυιδ λεγοντες και αχιτοφελ εν τοις συστρεφομενοις μετα αβεσσαλωμ και ειπεν δαυιδ διασκεδασον δη την βουλην αχιτοφελ κυριε ο θεος μου	31 Then it was reported to David that Ahithophel also had joined in swearing with Absalom. And David said, “ O Lord, I beg you, to uncover the foolishness of the counsel of Ahithophel.”
32 και ην δαυιδ ερχομενος εως του ροως ου προσεκυνησεν εκει τω θεω και ιδου εις απαντην αυτω χουσι ο αρχι εταιρος δαυιδ διερρηχως τον χιτωνα αυτου και γη επι της κεφαλης αυτου	32 And when David had ascended to the summit of the mountain, where he was going to adore the Lord, behold Hushai the Archite met him, with his garment torn and his head covered with soil.
33 και ειπεν αυτω δαυιδ εαν μεν διαβης μετ' εμου και εση επ' εμε εις βασταγμα	33 And David said to him: “If you come with me, you will be a burden to me.
34 και εαν εις την πολιν επιστρεψης και ερεις τω αβεσσαλωμ διεληλυθασιν οι αδελφοι σου και ο βασιλευς κατοπισθεν μου διεληλυθεν ο πατηρ σου και νυν παις σου ειμι βασιλευ εασον με ζησαι παις του πατρος σου ημην τοτε και αρτιως και νυν εγω δουλος σος και διασκεδασεις μοι την βουλην αχιτοφελ	34 But if you return to the city, and you say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, O king; just as I have been the servant of your father, so too will I be your servant,’ you will destroy the counsel of Ahithophel
35 και ιδου μετα σου εκει σαδωκ και αβιαθαρ οι ιερεις και εσται παν ρημα ο εαν ακουσης εξ οικου του βασιλεως και αναγγελεις τω σαδωκ και τω αβιαθαρ τοις ιερευσιν	35 And you have with you the priests Zadok and Abiathar. And any word whatsoever that you will hear from the house of the king, you shall reveal it to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests.
36 ιδου εκει μετ' αυτων δυο υιοι αυτων αχιμαας υιος τω σαδωκ και ιωναθαν υιος τω αβιαθαρ και αποστελειτε εν χειρι αυτων προς με παν ρημα ο εαν ακουσητε	36 Now with them are their two sons Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar. And you shall send to me by them every word that you will have heard.”
37 και εισηλθεν χουσι ο εταιρος δαυιδ εις την πολιν και αβεσσαλωμ εισεπορευετο εις ιερουσαλημ	37 Therefore, Hushai, the friend of David, went into the city. And Absalom also entered into Jerusalem.
