25
 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also
one
of his disciples?
He denied
it,
and said, I am not.
26
 One of the servants of the high priest, being
his
kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27
 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
28
 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
29
 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30
 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
31
 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law.
The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32
 that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
33
 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34
 Jesus answered him,
Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
35
 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
36
 Jesus answered,
My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37
 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then?
Jesus answered,
Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
38
 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault
at all.
39
 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40
 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
19:
1
 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged
him.
2
 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put
it
on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
3
 and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
4
 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
5
 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And
Pilate
saith unto them, Behold the man!
6
 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify
him,
crucify
him.
Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify
him:
for I find no fault in him.
7
 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8
 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
9
 and went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10
 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
11
 Jesus answered,
Thou couldest have no power
at all
against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
12
 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
13
 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14
 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
15
 But they cried out, Away with
him,
away with
him,
crucify him.
Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King?
The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16
 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led
him
away.
17
 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called
the place
of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18
 where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19
 And Pilate wrote a title, and put
it
on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20
 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew,
and
Greek,
and
Latin.
21
 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22
 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
113
 I hate
vain
thoughts: but thy law do I love.
114
 Thou
art
my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
115
 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
116
 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
117
 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
118
 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit
is
falsehood.
119
 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth
like
dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
120
 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
121
 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
122
 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
123
 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
124
 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
125
 I
am
thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
126
Â
It is
time for
thee,
L
ORD
, to work:
for
they have made void thy law.
127
 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
128
 Therefore I esteem all
thy
precepts
concerning
all
things to be
right;
and
I hate every false way.
10
 A divine sentence
is
in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11
 A just weight and balance
are
the L
ORD
's: all the weights of the bag
are
his work.
1
 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:
2
 and I will come upon him while he
is
weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that
are
with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
3
 and I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest
is
as if all returned:
so
all the people shall be in peace.
4
 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
5
 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.
6
 And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do
after
his saying? if not; speak thou.
7
 And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given
is
not good at this time.
8
 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they
be
mighty men, and they
be
chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father
is
a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
9
 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some
other
place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
10
 And he also
that is
valiant, whose heart
is
as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father
is
a mighty man, and
they
which
be
with him
are
valiant men.
11
 Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that
is
by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
12
 So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that
are
with him there shall not be left so much as one.
13
 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.
14
 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite
is
better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the L
ORD
had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the L
ORD
might bring evil upon Absalom.
15
 Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
16
 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that
are
with him.
17
 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David.
18
 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down.
19
 And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known.
20
 And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where
is
Ahimaaz and Jonathan?
And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find
them,
they returned to Jerusalem.
21
 And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.
22
 Then David arose, and all the people that
were
with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
23
 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled
his
ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
24
 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
25
 And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa
was
a man's son, whose name
was
Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother.
26
 So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
27
 And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
28
 brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched
corn,
and beans, and lentiles, and parched
pulse,
29
 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that
were
with him, to eat: for they said, The people
is
hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
