15:1	Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ Ἀβςσσαλὼμ ἅρματα καὶ ἵππους καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρας παρατρέχειν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
15:2	καὶ ὤρθρισεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ καὶ ἔστη ἀνὰ χεῖρα τῆς ὁδοῦ τῆς πύλης· καὶ ἐγένετο πᾶς ἀνὴρ ῷ ἐγένετο κρίσις ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς κρίσιν, καὶ ἐβόησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτῷ Ἐκ ποίας πόλεως σὺ εἶ ; καὶ εἶπεν Ἐκ μιᾶς φυλῶν Ἰσραὴλ ὁ δοῦλός σου.
15:3	καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ Ἀβεσσαλώμ Ἰδοὺ οἱ λόγοι σου ἀγαθοὶ καὶ εὔκολοι, καὶ ἀκούων οὐκ ἔστιν σου παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως.
15:4	καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσαλώμ Τίς με καταστήσει κριτὴν ἐν τῇ γῇ, καὶ ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἐλεύσεται πᾶς ἀνὴρ ᾦ ἐὰν ᾖ ἀντιλογία καὶ κρίσις καὶ δικαιώσω αὐτόν ;
15:5	καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν ἄνδρα τοῦ προσκυνῆσαι αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐξέτεινε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπελαμβάνετο αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν.
15:6	καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο παωτὶ Ἰσραὴλ τοῖς παραγινομένοις εἰς κρίσιν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἰδιοποιεῖτο Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τὴν καρδίαν ἀνδρῶν Ἰσραήλ.
15:7	Καὶ ἐηένετο ἀπὸ τέλους τεσσεράκοντα ἐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ Πορεύσομαι δὴ καὶ ἀποτίσω τὰς εὐχάς μου ἅς ηὐξάμην τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν Χεβρών·
15:8	ὅτι εὐχὴν ηὔξατο ὁ δοῦλός σου ἐν τῷοἰκεῖν με ἐν Γεδσοὺρ ἐν Συρίᾳ λέηων Ἐὰν ἐπιστρέφων ἐπιστρέψῃ με Κύριος εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ λατρεύσω τῷ κυρίῳ.
15:9	καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς Βάδιζε εἰς εἰρήνην· καὶ ἀναστὰς ἐποπεύθη εἰς Χεβρών.
15:10	καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ κατασκόπους ἐν πάσαις φυλαῖς Ἰσραὴλ λέγων Ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι ὑμᾶς τὴν φωνὴν τῆς κερατίνης καὶ ἐρεῖτε Βεβαςίλεεθκεν βασιλεὺς Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἐν Χεβρών.
15:11	καὶ μετὰ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἐπορεύθησαν διακόσιοι ἄνδρες ἐξ Ἰερουσαλὴμ κλητοί· καὶ πορευόμενοι τῇ ἁπλότητι ἀυτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν πᾶν ῥῆμα.
15:12	καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τῷ Ἀχειτόφελ τῷ Θεκωνεὶ σύμβουλον Δαυεὶδ ἐν πόλει ἀυτοῦ εἰς Γωλὰ ἐν τῷ θυσιάζειν αὐτόν· καὶ ἐγένετο σύντριμμα ἰσχυρόν, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ πορευόμενος καὶ πολὺς μετὰ Ἀβεσσαλώμ.
15:13	Καὶ παρεγένετο ὁ ἀπγγέλλων πρὸς Δαυεὶδ λέγων Ἐγενήθη ἡ καρδία ἀνδρῶν Ἰσραὴλ ὀπίσω Ἀβεσσαλώμ.
15:14	καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ πᾶσιν τοῖς πασὶ αὐτοῦ τοῖος ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ Ἀνάστητε καὶ φύγωμεν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν σωτηρία ἀπὸ προςώπου Ἀβεσσαλώμ· ταχύνατε τοῦ πορευθῆναι, ἵνα μὴ ταχύνῃ καὶ καταλάβῃ ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἐξώσῃ ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς τὴν κακίαν καὶ πατάξῃ τὴν πόλιν στόματι μαχαίρης.
15:15	καὶ εἶπον οἱ παῖδες τοῦ βασιλέως πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Κατὰ πάντα ὅσα αἱρεῖται ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν ὁ βασιλεύς, ἰδοῦ οἱ παῖδές σου.
15:16	καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ τοῖς ποςὶν αὐτῶν· καὶ ἀφῆκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς δέκα γυναῖκας τῶν παλλακῶν αὐτοῦ φυλάσσειν τὸν οἶκον.
15:17	καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ πεζῇ, καὶ ἔστησαν ἐν οἴκῳ τῷ Μακράν.
15:18	καὶ παντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἀνὰ χεῖρα αὐτοῦ παρῆγον καὶ πᾶς ὁ Χεττεὶ καὶ πᾶς ὁ Φελετθεί, καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τῆς ελαίας ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς παρεπορεύετο ἐχόμενος αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν καὶ πάντες οἱ ἁδροὶ καὶ πάντες οἱ μαχηταί, ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες, καὶ παρῆσαν ἐπὶ χεῖρα ἀυτοῦ· καὶ πᾶς ὁ Χερεθθεὶ καὶ πᾶς ὁ Φελεθθεὶ καὶ πάντες οἱ Γεθθαῖοι, οἱ ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες οἱ ἐλθόντες τοῖς ποςὶν αὐτῶν εἰς Γὲθ καὶ πορευτόμενοι ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως.
15:19	καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σεθθεὶ τὸν Γεθθαῖον Ἵνα τί πορεύῃ καὶ σὺ μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν ; ἐπίστρεφε καὶ οἴκει μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως , ὅτι ξένος εἶ σὺ καὶ ὅτι μετῴκηκας σὺ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου σου.
15:20	εἰ ἐχθὲς παραγέγονας, καὶ σήμερον κινήσω σε μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν; καί γε μεταναστήσεις τὸν τόπον σου· ἐχθὲς ἡ ἐξέλευσίς σου, καὶ σήμερον μετακινήσω σε μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν τοῦ πορευθῆναι; καὶ ἐγὼ πορεύσομαι ἐφ᾿ οὗ ἂν ἐγὼ πορευθῶ. ἐπιστρέφου καὶ ἐπίστρψον τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ Κύριος ποιήσει μετὰ σοῦ ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθειαν.
15:21	καὶ ἐπερίθη Ἐθθεὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ εἶπεν Ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεύς, ὅτι εἰς τὸν τόπον οὗ ἐὰν ᾖ ὁ κύριός μου, καὶ ἐὰν εἰς θάνατον καὶ ἐὰν εἰς ζωήν, ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ δοῦλός σου.
15:22	καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σεθθεί Δεῦρο καὶ διάβαινε μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ· καὶ παρῆλθεν Σεθθεὶ ὁ Γεθθαῖος καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ὁ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
15:23	καὶ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἔκλάιεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς παρεπορεύοντο ἐν τῷ χειμάρρῳ τῶν κέδρων, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς διέβη τὸν χειάρρουν Κεδρών· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς παρεπορύοντο ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὁδοῦ τὴν ἔρημον.
15:24	καὶ ἰδοὺ καί γε Σαδδὼκ καὶ πάντες οἱ Λευεῖται μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου ἀπὸ Βαιθάρ· καὶ ἔστησαν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἀνέβη Ἀβιαθάρ, ὡς ἐπαύσατο πᾶς ὁ λαὸς παρελθεῖν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως.
15:25	καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Σαδδώκ Ἀπόστρεψον τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς τὴν πόλιν· ἐὰν εὕρω χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπιστρέψει με καὶ δείξει μοι ἀυτὴν καὶ τὴν εὐπρέπειαν αὐτῆς·
15:26	καὶ ἐὰν εἴπῃ οὕτως Οὐκ ἠθέληκα ἐν σοί, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ εἰμι, ποιείτω μοι κατὰ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ.
15:27	καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Σαδὼκ τῷ ἱερεῖ Ἴδετε, σὺ ἐπιστρέφεις εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἐν εἰρήνῃ, καὶ Ἀχειμαίας ὁ υἱός σου καὶ Ἰωναθὰν ὁ υἱὸς Ἀβιαθὰρ οἱ δύο υἱοὶ ὑμῶν μεθ᾿ ὐμων·
15:28	ἴδετε, ἐγώ εἰμι στρατεύομαι ἐν ἀραβὼθ τῆς ἐρήμου ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ῥῆμα παρ᾿ ὑμῶν τοῦ ἀπαγγεῖλαί μοι.
15:29	καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Σαδὼκ καὶ Ἀβιαθὰρ τὴν κιβωτὸν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐκεῖ.
15:30	καὶ Δαυεὶδ ἀνέβαινεν ἐν τῇ ἀναβάσει τῶν ἐλαιῶν καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν ἐπικεκαλυμμένος, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπορεύετο ἀνυόδετος· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ’αὐτοῦ ἐπεκάλθψεν ἀνὴρ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέβαινον ἀναβαίνοντες καὶ κλαίοντες.
15:31	καὶ ἀνηλλέλη Δαυεὶδ λέγοντες Καὶ Ἀχειτόφελ ἐν τοῖς συστρεφομένοις μετὰ Ἀβεσσαλώμ· καὶ εἶπεν Δαυείδ Διασκέδασον δὴ τὴν βουλὴν Ἀχειτόφελ, Κύριε ὁ θεός μου.
15:32	καὶ ἦν δαυεὶδ ἐρχόμενος ἕως τοῦ Ῥοώς, οὖ προσεκύνησεν ἐκεῖ τῷ θεῷ· καὶ ἰδοὺ εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῷ Χουσεὶ ὁ Ἀρχί, ἑταῖρος Δαυείδ, διερρηχὼς. τὸν χιτῶνα αὐτοῦ καὶ γῆ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ.
15:33	καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυείδ Ἐὰν μὲν διαβῇς μετ’ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἔσῃ ἐπ’ ἐμὲ εἰς βάσταγμα.
15:34	καὶ ἂν εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἐπιστρέψῃς, καὶ ἐρεῖς τῷ Ἀβεσσαλώμ Διεληλύθασιν οἱ ἀδελφοί σου, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς κατόπισθέν μου διελήυθεν ὁ πατήρ σου· καὶ νῦν παῖς σού εἰμι, βασιλεῦ, ἔαςόν με ζῆσαι· παῖς τοῦ πατρός σου ἤμην τότε καὶ ἀρτίως, καῖ νῦν ἐγὼ δοῦλος σός· καὶ διασκεδάσεις μοι τὴν βουλὴν Ἀχειτόφελ.
15:35	καὶ ἰδοὺ μετὰ σοῦ ἐκεῖ Σαδὼκ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἀναγγελεῖς τῷ Σαδὼκ καὶ τῷ Ἀβιαθὰρ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν.
15:36	ἱδοὺ ἐκεῖ μετ’ αὐτῶν δύο υἱοὶ αὐτῶν, Ἀχειμάας υἱὸς τῷ Σαδὼκ καὶ Ἰωναθὰν υἱὸς τῷ Ἀβιαθάρ· καὶ ἀποστελεῖτε ἐν χειρὶ αὐτῶν πρὸς μὲ πᾶν ῥῆμα ὃ ἐὰν ἀκούσητε.
15:37	καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Χουσεὶ ὁ ἑταῖρος Δαυεὶδ εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ εἰσεπορεύετο εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ. Καὶ XVI

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.

L0.5 transliteration
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).

L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.

L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.

English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
