The king commanded Joab, Abishai and Ittai,“ Be gentle with the young man Absalom for my sake.” And all the troops heard the king giving orders concerning Absalom to each of the commanders.

The king gave an order to Joab, Abishai and Ittai. He commanded them,“ Be gentle with the young man Absalom. Do it for me.” All the troops heard the king give the commanders that order about Absalom.

And the king ordered Joab and Abishai and Ittai,“ Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom.” And all the people heard when the king gave orders to all the commanders about Absalom.

The king commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai,“ Treat the young man Absalom gently for my sake.” All the people heard the king’s orders to all the commanders about Absalom.

But the king commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, saying,“ Deal gently with the young man Absalom for my sake.” And all the people heard when the king commanded all the commanders regarding Absalom.

Now the king had commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, saying,“ Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom.” And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains orders concerning Absalom.

And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.

The king commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai,“ Treat the young man Absalom gently for my sake.” All the people heard the king’s orders to all the commanders about Absalom.

And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying,[ Deal] gently for my sake with the young man,[ even] with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.

The king gave this order to Joab, Abishai, and Ittai:“ For my sake deal gently with the young man Absalom.” Now the entire army was listening when the king gave all the leaders this order concerning Absalom.

The king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying,“ Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom.” All the people heard when the king commanded all the captains concerning Absalom.

Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants,“ My own son is trying to kill me. Doesn’t this relative of Saul have even more reason to do so? Leave him alone and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to do it.

The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him.

Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said,“ Hushai’s advice is better than Ahithophel’s.” For the Lord had determined to defeat the counsel of Ahithophel, which really was the better plan, so that he could bring disaster on Absalom!

Now Ahithophel urged Absalom,“ Let me choose 12,000 men to start out after David tonight.I will catch up with him while he is weary and discouraged. He and his troops will panic, and everyone will run away. Then I will kill only the king,and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride returns to her husband. After all, it is only one man’s life that you seek. Then you will be at peace with all the people.”This plan seemed good to Absalom and to all the elders of Israel.

“ Suppose a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father or mother, even though they discipline him.In such a case, the father and mother must take the son to the elders as they hold court at the town gate.The parents must say to the elders,‘ This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious and refuses to obey. He is a glutton and a drunkard.’Then all the men of his town must stone him to death. In this way, you will purge this evil from among you, and all Israel will hear about it and be afraid.

“ I would not kill the king’s son for even a thousand pieces of silver,” the man replied to Joab.“ We all heard the king say to you and Abishai and Ittai,‘ For my sake, please spare young Absalom.’

Jesus said,“ Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice.
