| 18:1 | Καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Δαυεὶδ τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατέστησεν ἐπ’ αὐτῶν χιλιάρχους καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους. |
| 18:2 | καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυεὶδ τὸν λαὸν τὸ τρίτον ἐν χειρὶ Ἰωάβ, καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν χειρὶ Ἀβειςὰ υἱοῦ Σαρουίας ἀδελφοῦ Ἰωάβ, καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν χειρὶ Ἐθθεὶ τοῦ Ι’εθθαίου· καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὲδ πρὸς τὸν λαόν Ἐξελθὼν ἐξελεύσομαι καί γε ἐγὼ μεθ’ ὑμῶν. |
| 18:3 | καὶ εἶπαν Οὐκ ἐξελεύςῃ, ὅτι ἐὰν φυγῇ φύγωμεν, οὐ θήσουσιν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καρδίαν, καὶ ἐὰν ἀποθάνωμεν τὸ ἥμισυ ἡμῶν, οὐ θήσουσιν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καρδίαν, ὅτι σὺ ὡς ἡμεὶς δέκα χιλιάδες· καὶ νῦν ἀγαθὸν ὅτι ἐσῃ ἡμῖν ἐν τῇ πόλει βοήθεια τοῦ βονθεῖν. |
| 18:4 | καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ βασιλεύς Ὅ ἐὰν ἀρέσῃ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν ποιήσω· καὶ ἔστη ὁ βασιλεὺς ἀνὰ χεῖρα τὴς πύλης, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐξεπορεύετο εἰς ἑκατοντάδας καὶ εἰς χιλιάδας. |
| 18:5 | καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ἰωὰβ καὶ τῷ Ἀβεισὰ καὶ τῷ Ἐθθεὶ λέγων Φείσασθέ μου τοῦ παιδαρίου τοῦ Ἀβεσσαλώμ· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἥκουσεν ἐντελλομένου τοῦ βασιλέως πᾶσιν τοῖς ἅρχουσιν ὑπὲρ Ἀβεσσαλώμ. |
| 18:6 | καὶ ἐξὴλθεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὸν δρυμὸν ἐξ ἐναντίας Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ πόλεμος ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ Ἐφράιμ. |
| 18:7 | καὶ ἔπταισεν ἐκεῖ ὁ λαὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἐνώπιον τῶν παίδων Δανείδ, καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ θραῦσις μεγάλη ἐν τῇ ἡμἐρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, εἴκοσι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν. |
| 18:8 | καὶ ἐγένετο ἐκεῖ ὁ πόλεμος διεσπαρμένος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γὴς· καὶ ἐπλεόνασεν ὁ δρυμὸς τοῦ καταφαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ὑπὲρ οὔς κατέφαγεν ἐν τῷ λαῷ ἡ μάχαιρα ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ. |
| 18:9 | καὶ συνήντησεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἐνώπιον τῶν παίδων Δαυείδ· καὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἐπιβεβηκὼς ἐπὶ τοῦ ἡμιόνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ ἡμίονος ὑπὸ τὸ δάσος τῆς δρυὸς τῆς μεγάλης, καὶ ἐκρεμάσθη ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ δρυί· καὶ ἐκρεμάσθη ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς γῆς, καὶ ὁ ἡμίονος ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ παρῆλθεν. |
| 18:10 | καὶ δἶδεν ἀνὴρ εἶς καὶ ἀνἠγγειλεν Ἰωὰβ καὶ εἶπεν Ἰδοὺ ἑόρακα τὸν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ κρεμάμενον ἐν τῇ δρυί. |
| 18:11 | καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωὰβ τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἀναγγέλλοντι Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑόρακας· τί ὄτι οὐκ ἐπάταξας αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν γὴν ; καὶ ἐγὼ ἄν δεδώκειν σοι δέκα ἀργυρίου καὶ παραζώνην μίαν. |
| 18:12 | εἶπεν δὲ ὁ άνὴρ πρὸς Ἰωάβ Καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ἴστημι ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖράς μου χιλίους σίκλους ἀργυρίου, οὐ μὴ ἐπιβάλω χεὶρά μου ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως· ὄτι ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν ἡμῶν ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς σοὶ καὶ Ἀβειςὰ καὶ τῷ Ἐθθεὶ λέγων φυλάξατέ μοι τὸ παιδάριον τὸν Αβεσσαλώμ, |
| 18:13 | μὴ ποιῆσαι ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ αδικον· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λόγος οὐ λλήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ σὺ στήςῃ ἐξ ἐναντίας. |
| 18:14 | καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωάβ Τοῦτο ἐγὼ ἄρξομαι· οὐχ οὕτως μενῶ ἐνώπιόν σου. καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰωὰβ τρία βέλη ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνέπηξαν αὐτὰ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ Ἀβεσσαλώμ, ἔτι αὐτοῦ ζῶντος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ τῆς δρύος. |
| 18:15 | καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν δέκα παιδάρια αἴροντα τὰ σκεύη Ἰωάβ, καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὸν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτόν. |
| 18:16 | καὶ ἐσάλπισεν Ἰωὰβ ἐν κερατίνῃ, καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν ὁ λαὸς τοῦ μὴ διώκειν ὀπίσω Ἰσρήλ, ὅτι ἐφείδετο Ἰωὰβ τοῦ λαοῦ. |
| 18:17 | καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ καὶ ἔρριψεν αὐτὸν εἰς χάσμα μέγα ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ εἰς τὸν βόθυνον τὸν μέγαν, καὶ ἐστήλωσεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν σωρὸν λίθων μέγαν σφόδρα· καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἔφυγεν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ. |
| 18:18 | καὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἔτι ζῶν καὶ ἐστησεν ἑαυτῷ τὴν στήλην ἐν ᾖ ἐλήμφθη καὶ ἐστήλωσεν αὐτὴν λαβ εῖν, τὴν στήλην τὴν ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τοῦ βασιλέως, ὅτι εἶπεν οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῷ υἱὸς ἕνεκεν τοῦ ἀναμνησαι το ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὴν στήλην Χεὶρ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταυτης. |
| 18:19 | Καὶ Ἀχειμάας υἱὸς Σαδὼκ εἶπεν Δράμω δὴ καὶ εὐαγγελιῶ τῷ βασιλεῖ ὅτι ἔκρινεν Κύριος ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ. |
| 18:20 | καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰωάβ Οὐκ ἀνὴρ εὐαγγελίας σὺ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ, καὶ εὐαγγελιῇ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἄλλῃ· ἐν δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτη οὐκ εὐαγγελιῇ, οὖ εἵνεκεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ βασιλέως ἀπέθανεν. |
| 18:21 | καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωὰβ τῷ Χουσεί Βαδίσας ἀνάγγειλον τῷ βασιλεῖ ὅσα εἶδες· καὶ προσεκύνησεν Χουσεὶ τῷ Ἰωὰβ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν. |
| 18:22 | καὶ προσέθετο ἔτι Ἀχειμάας υἱὸς σαδὼκ καὶ εἶπεν προς Ἰωάβ Καὶ ἔστω ὅτι δράμω καί γε ἐγὼ ὀπίσω τοῦ Χουσεί· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωάβ Ἵνα τί τοῦτο τρέχεις, υἱέ μου; δεῦρο, οὐκ ἔστιν σοι εὐαγγελία εἰς ὠφελίαν πορευομένῳ. |
| 18:23 | καὶ εἶπεν Τί γὰρ ἐὰν δραμοῦμαι; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰωάβ Δράμε· καὶ ἔδραμεν Ἀχειμάας ὁδὸν τὴν τοῦ Κεχὰρ καὶ ὑπερέβη τὸν Χουσεί. |
| 18:24 | καὶ Δαυεὶδ ἐκάθητο ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δύο πυλῶν· καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ σκοος εἰς τὸ δῶμα τῆς πύλης πρὸς τὸ τεῖχος, καὶ ἐπῆρεν τοῦς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδεν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ τρέχων μόνος ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ. |
| 18:25 | καὶ ἀνεβόησεν ὁ σκοος καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ βασιλεῖ· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς Εἰ μόνος ἐστίν, εὐαγγελία ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐπορεύετο πορευόμενος καὶ ἐγγίζων. |
| 18:26 | καὶ εἶδεν ὁ σκοπὸς ἄνδρα ἕτερον τρέχοντα, καὶ ἐβόησεν ὁ σκοπὸς πρὸς τῇ πύλῃ καὶ εἶπεν Ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἕτερος τρεχων μόνος· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς Καί γε οὗτος εὐαγγελιζόμενος. |
| 18:27 | καὶ εἶπεν ὁ σκοπός Ἐγὼ ὁρῶ τὸν δρόμον τοῦ πρώτου ὡς δρόμον Ἀχειμάας υἱοῦ Σαδώκ· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς Ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς οὗτος, καί γε εἰς εὐαγγελίαν ἀγαθὴν ἐλεύσεται. |
| 18:28 | καὶ ἐβόησεν Ἀχειμάας καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Εἰρήνη· καὶ προσεκύνησεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ εἶπεν Εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὁ θεός σου ὃς ἀπέκλεισεν τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς μισοῦντας τὴν χεῖρα αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ μου τῷ βασιλεῖ. |
| 18:29 | καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς Εἰρήνη τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ Ἀβεσσαλώμ; καὶ εἶπεν Ἀχειμάας Εἶδον τὸ πλῆθος τὸ μέγα τοῦ ἀποστεῖλαι τὸν δοῦλον τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰωὰβ καὶ τὸν δοῦλόν σου, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνων τί ἐκεῖ. |
| 18:30 | καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς Ἐπίστρεψον, στηλώθητι ὧδε· καὶ ἐπεστράφη καὶ ἔστη. |
| 18:31 | καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ Χουσεὶ παρεγένετο καὶ εἶπεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Εὐαγγελισθήτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεύς, ὅτι ἔκρινέν σοι Κύριος σήμερον ἐκ χειρὸςν πάντων τῶν ἐπεγειρομένων ἐπὶ σέ. |
| 18:32 | καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τὸν Χουσεί Εἰ εἰρήνη τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ Αβεσσαλώμ; καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Χουσεί Γένοιντο ὡς τὸ παιδάριον οἱ ἐχθροὺ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ἐπανέστησαν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν εἰς κακά. |
| 18:33 | καὶ ἐταράχθη ὁ βασιλεύς, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον τῆς πύλης καὶ ἔκλαυσεν· καὶ οὕτως εἶπεν ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτόν Υἱέ μου υἱέ μου Ἀβεσσαλώμ, τίς δῴη τὸν θάνατόν μου ἀντὶ σοῦ; ἐγὼ ἀντὶ σοῦ, Ἀβεσσαλὼμ υἱέ μου υἱέ μου. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
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).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
