We anointed Absalom to rule over us. But he has died in battle. So why aren’t any of you talking about bringing the king back?”

But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?”

Now Absalom, whom we anointed to rule over us, is dead. Why not ask David to come back and be our king again?”

But Absalom, the man we anointed over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about restoring the king?”

However, Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now then, why are you silent about bringing the king back?”

But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now therefore, why do you say nothing about bringing back the king?”

And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?

But Absalom, the man we anointed over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about restoring the king?”

But Absalom, whom we anointed as our king, has died in battle. So now why do you hesitate to bring the king back?”

Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why don’t you speak a word of bringing the king back?”

Joab said,“ I’m not going to wait like this for you.” So he took three javelins in his hand and plunged them into Absalom’s heart while Absalom was still alive in the oak tree.

They answered,“ Come on, let’s attack them! We have seen the land, and it is very good. Aren’t you going to do something? Don’t hesitate to go there and take it over.

While Absalom was offering sacrifices, he also sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, to come from Giloh, his hometown. And so the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom’s following kept on increasing.A messenger came and told David,“ The hearts of the people of Israel are with Absalom.”

They set up kings without my consent; they choose princes without my approval. With their silver and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction.
