14：12妇人说，求我主我王容婢女再说一句话。王说，你说吧。
Then the woman said； Let thine handmaid； I pray thee； speak one word unto my lord the king。 And he said； Say on。
14：13妇人说，王为何也起意要害神的民呢。王不使那逃亡的人回来，王的这话就是自证己错了。
And the woman said； Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God？ for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty； in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished。
14：14我们都是必死的，如同水泼在地上，不能收回。神并不夺取人的性命，乃设法使逃亡的人不致成为赶出，回不来的。
For we must needs die； and are as water spilt on the ground； which cannot be gathered up again； neither doth God respect any person： yet doth he devise means； that his banished be not expelled from him。
14：15我来将这话告诉我主我王，是因百姓使我惧怕。婢女想，不如将这话告诉王，或者王成就婢女所求的。
Now therefore that I am e to speak of this thing unto my lord the king； it is because the people have made me afraid： and thy handmaid said； I will now speak unto the king； it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid。
14：16人要将我和我儿子从神的地业上一同除灭，王必应允救我脱离他的手。
For the king will hear； to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God。
14：17婢女又想，我主我王的话必安慰我。因为我主我王能辨别是非，如同神的使者一样。惟愿耶和华你的神与你同在。
Then thine handmaid said； The word of my lord the king shall now be fortable： for as an angel of God； so is my lord the king to discern good and bad： therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee。
14：18王对妇人说，我要问你一句话，你一点不要瞒我。妇人说，愿我主我王说。
Then the king answered and said unto the woman； Hide not from me； I pray thee； the thing that I shall ask thee。 And the woman said； Let my lord the king now speak。
14：19王说，你这些话莫非是约押的主意吗。妇人说，我敢在我主我王面前起誓，王的话升对，不偏左右，是王的仆人约押吩咐我的，这些话是他教导我的。
And the king said； Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this？ And the woman answered and said； As thy soul liveth； my lord the king； none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken： for thy servant Joab； he bade me； and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid：
14：20王的仆人约押如此行，为要挽回这事。我主的智慧却如神使者的智慧，能知世上一切事。
To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing： and my lord is wise； according to the wisdom of an angel of God； to know all things that are in the earth。
14：21王对约押说，我应允你这事。你可以去，把那少年人押沙龙带回来。
And the king said unto Joab； Behold now； I have done this thing： go therefore； bring the young man Absalom again。
14：22约押就面伏于地叩拜，祝谢于王，又说，王既应允仆人所求的，仆人今日知道在我主我王眼前蒙恩了。
And Joab fell to the ground on his face； and bowed himself； and thanked the king： and Joab said； To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight； my lord； O king； in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant。
14：23于是约押起身往基述去，将押沙龙带回耶路撒冷。
So Joab arose and went to Geshur； and brought Absalom to Jerusalem。
14：24王说，使他回自己家里去，不要见我的面。押沙龙就回自己家里去，没有见王的面。
And the king said； Let him turn to his own house； and let him not see my face。 So Absalom returned to his own house； and saw not the king's face。
14：25以色列全地之中，无人像押沙龙那样俊美，得人的称赞，从脚底到头顶毫无瑕疵。
But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty： from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him。
14：26他的头发甚重，每到年底剪发一次。所剪下来的，按王的平称一称，重二百舍客勒。
And when he polled his head； （for it was at every year's end that he polled it： because the hair was heavy on him； therefore he polled it：） he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight。
14：27押沙龙生了三个儿子，一个女儿。女儿名叫他玛，是个容貌俊美的女子。
And unto Absalom there were born three sons； and one daughter； whose name was Tamar： she was a woman of a fair countenance。
14：28押沙龙住在耶路撒冷足有二年，没有见王的面。
So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem； and saw not the king's face。
14：29押沙龙打发人去叫约押来，要托他去见王，约押却不肯来。第二次打发人去叫他，他仍不肯来。
Therefore Absalom sent for Joab； to have sent him to the king； but he would not e to him： and when he sent again the second time； he would not e。
14：30所以押沙龙对仆人说，你们看，约押有一块田，与我的田相近，其中有大麦，你们去放火烧了。押沙龙的仆人就去放火烧了那田。
Therefore he said unto his servants； See； Joab's field is near mine； and he hath barley there； go and set it on fire。 And Absalom's servants set the field on fire。
14：31于是约押起来，到了押沙龙家里，问他说，你的仆人为何放火烧了我的田呢。
Then Joab arose； and came to Absalom unto his house； and said unto him； Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire？
14：32押沙龙回答约押说，我打发人去请你来，好托你去见王，替我说，我为何从基述回来呢。不如仍在那里。现在要许我见王的面。我若有罪，任凭王杀我就是了。
And Absalom answered Joab； Behold； I sent unto thee； saying； e hither； that I may send thee to the king； to say； Wherefore am I e from Geshur？ it had been good for me to have been there still： now therefore let me see the king's face； and if there be any iniquity in me； let him kill me。
14：33于是约押去见王，将这话奏告王，王便叫押沙龙来。押沙龙来见王，在王面前俯伏于地，王就与押沙龙亲嘴。
So Joab came to the king； and told him： and when he had called for Absalom； he came to the king； and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king： and the king kissed Absalom。

15：1此后，押沙龙为自己预备车马，又派五十人在他前头奔走。
And it came to pass after this； that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses； and fifty men to run before him。
15：2押沙龙常常早晨起来，站在城门的道旁，凡有争讼要去求王判断的，押沙龙就叫他过来，问他说，你是哪一城的人。回答说，仆人是以色列某支派的人。
And Absalom rose up early； and stood beside the way of the gate： and it was so； that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment； then Absalom called unto him； and said； Of what city art thou？ And he said； Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel。
15：3押沙龙对他说，你的事有情有理，无奈王没有委人听你伸诉。
And Absalom said unto him； See； thy matters are good and right； but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee。
15：4押沙龙又说，恨不得我作国中的士师。凡有争讼求审判的到我这里来，我必秉公判断。
Absalom said moreover； Oh that I were made judge in the land； that every man which hath any suit or cause might e unto me； and I would do him justice！
15：5若有人近前来要拜押沙龙，押沙龙就伸手拉住他，与他亲嘴。
And it was so； that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance； he put forth his hand； and took him； and kissed him。
15：6以色列人中，凡去见王求判断的，押沙龙都是如此待他们。这样，押沙龙暗中得了以色列人的心。
And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment： so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel。
15：7满了四十年（有作四年的），押沙龙对王说，求你准我往希伯仑去，还我向耶和华所许的愿。
And it came to pass after forty years； that Absalom said unto the king； I pray thee； let me go and pay my vow； which I have vowed unto the LORD； in Hebron。
15：8因为仆人住在亚兰的基述，曾许愿说，耶和华若使我再回耶路撒冷，我必事奉他。
For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria； saying； If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem； then I will serve the LORD。
15：9王说，你平平安安地去吧。押沙龙就起身，往希伯仑去了。
And the king said unto him； Go in peace。 So he arose； and went to Hebron。
15：10押沙龙打发探子走遍以色列各支派，说，你们一听见角声就说，押沙龙在希伯仑作王了。
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel； saying； As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet； then ye shall say； Absalom reigneth in Hebron。
15：11押沙龙在耶路撒冷请了二百人与他同去，都是诚诚实实去的，并不知道其中的真情。
And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem； that were called； and they went in their simplicity； and they knew not any thing。
15：12押沙龙献祭的时候，打发人去将大卫的谋士，基罗人亚希多弗从他本城请了来。于是叛逆的势派甚大。因为随从押沙龙的人民，日渐增多。
And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite； David's counsellor； from his city； even from Giloh； while he offered sacrifices。 And the conspiracy was strong； for the people increased continually with Absalom。
15：13有人报告大卫说，以色列人的心都归向押沙龙了。
And there came a messenger to David； saying； The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom。
15：14大卫就对耶路撒冷跟随他的臣仆说，我们要起来逃走，不然都不能躲避押沙龙了。要速速地去，恐怕他忽然来到，加害于我们，用刀杀尽合城的人。
And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem； Arise； and let us flee； for we shall not else escape from Absalom： make speed to depart； lest he overtake us suddenly； and bring evil upon us； and smite the city with the edge of the sword。
15：15王的臣仆对王说，我主我王所定的，仆人都愿遵行。
And the king's
