1
 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2
 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
3
 Judas then, having received a band
of men
and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4
 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them,
Whom seek ye?
5
 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus saith unto them,
I am
he.
And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6
 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am
he,
they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7
 Then asked he them again,
Whom seek ye?
And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8
 Jesus answered,
I have told you that I am
he:
if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
9
 that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
10
 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11
 Then said Jesus unto Peter,
Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12
 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13
 and led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
14
 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15
 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and
so did
another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16
 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17
 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also
one
of this man's disciples?
He saith, I am not.
18
 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19
 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20
 Jesus answered him,
I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21
Â
Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22
 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23
 Jesus answered him,
If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24
 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
97
 O how love I thy law! it
is
my meditation all the day.
98
 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they
are
ever with me.
99
 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies
are
my meditation.
100
 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
101
 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102
 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
103
 How sweet are thy words unto my taste!
yea, sweeter
than honey to my mouth!
104
 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
105
 Thy word
is
a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
106
 I have sworn, and I will perform
it,
that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
107
 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O L
ORD
, according unto thy word.
108
 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O L
ORD
, and teach me thy judgments.
109
 My soul
is
continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
110
 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
111
 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they
are
the rejoicing of my heart.
112
 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway,
even unto
the end.
8
 Better
is
a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9
 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the L
ORD
directeth his steps.
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.
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.
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 L
ORD
, he will bring me again, and shew me
both
it, and his habitation:
26
 but if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold,
here am
I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.
27
 The king said also unto Zadok the priest,
Art 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.
28
 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
29
 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
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.
31
 And
one
told David, saying, Ahithophel
is
among the conspirators with Absalom.
And David said, O L
ORD
, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
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.
37
 So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
16:
1
 And when David was a little past the top
of the hill,
behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred
loaves
of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
2
 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these?
And Ziba said, The asses
be
for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
3
 And the king said, And where
is
thy master's son?
And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, Today shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
4
 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine
are
all that
pertained
unto Mephibosheth.
And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee
that
I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
5
 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name
was
Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
6
 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men
were
on his right hand and on his left.
7
 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:
8
 the L
ORD
hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the L
ORD
hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou
art taken
in thy mischief, because thou
art
a bloody man.
9
 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
10
 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the L
ORD
hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
11
 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now
may this
Benjamite
do it?
let him alone, and let him curse; for the L
ORD
hath bidden him.
12
 It may be that the L
ORD
will look on mine affliction, and that the L
ORD
will requite me good for his cursing this day.
13
 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14
 And the king, and all the people that
were
with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15
 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16
 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
17
 And Absalom said to Hushai,
Is
this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
18
 And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the L
ORD
, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
19
 And again, whom should I serve?
should I
not
serve
in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
20
 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
21
 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that
are
with thee be strong.
22
 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23
 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days,
was
as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God: so
was
all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
