16：14 王和跟随他的众人疲疲乏乏地到了一个地方，就在那里歇息歇息。

　　And the king， and all the people that were with him， came weary， and refreshed themselves there.

　　16：15 押沙龙和以色列众人来到耶路撒冷。亚希多弗也与他同来。

　　And Absalom， and all the people the men of Israel， came to Jerusalem， and Ahithophel with him.

　　16：16 大卫的朋友亚基人户筛去见押沙龙，对他说，愿王万岁。愿王万岁。

　　And it came to pass， when Hushai the Archite， David's friend， was come unto Absalom， that Hushai said unto Absalom， God save the king， God save the king.

　　16：17 押沙龙问户筛说，这是你恩待朋友吗。为什么不与你的朋友同去呢。

　　And Absalom said to Hushai， Is this thy kindness to thy friend？ why wentest thou not with thy friend？

　　16：18 户筛对押沙龙说，不然，耶和华和这民，并以色列众人所拣选的，我必归顺他，与他同住。

　　And Hushai said unto Absalom， Nay； but whom the LORD， and this people， and all the men of Israel， choose， his will I be， and with him will I abide.

　　16：19 再者，我当服事谁呢。岂不是前王的儿子吗。我怎样服事你父亲，也必照样服事你。

　　And again， whom should I serve？ should I not serve in the presence of his son？ as I have served in thy father's presence， so will I be in thy presence.

　　16：20 押沙龙对亚希多弗说，你们出个主意，我们怎样行才好。

　　Then said Absalom to Ahithophel， Give counsel among you what we shall do.

　　16：21 亚希多弗对押沙龙说，你父所留下看守宫殿的妃嫔，你可以与她们亲近。以色列众人听见你父亲憎恶你，凡归顺你人的手就更坚强。

　　And Ahithophel said unto Absalom， Go in unto thy father's concubines， which he hath left to keep the house； and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father： then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.

　　16：22 于是人为押沙龙在宫殿的平顶上支搭帐棚。押沙龙在以色列众人眼前，与他父的妃嫔亲近。

　　So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house； and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

　　16：23 那时亚希多弗所出的主意好像人问神的话一样。他昔日给大卫，今日给押沙龙所出的主意，都是这样。

　　And the counsel of Ahithophel， which he counselled in those days， was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God： so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
