2 Samuel 17:1-4

Hushai Saves David

1 Moreover, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. 2 I will come upon him while he is ^dweary and discouraged and throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. ^eI will strike down only the king, 3 and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride comes home to her husband. You seek the life of only one man, ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew back to you. Like the return of the whole is the man whom you seek} and all the people will be at peace.” 4 And the advice seemed right in the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel.

2 Samuel 18:33

33 ^{▼▼Ch 19:1 in Hebrew} And the king was deeply moved and went up ^hto the chamber over the gate and wept. And as he went, he said, ⁱ“O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!”

1 Corinthians 4:8-18

8 Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you! 9 For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, ^jlike men sentenced to death, because we ^khave become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men. 10 ^lWe are fools for Christ’s sake, but ^myou are wise in Christ. ⁿWe are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. 11 To the present hour ^owe hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and ^pbuffeted and ^qhomeless, 12 and we ^rlabor, working with our own hands. ^sWhen reviled, we bless; ^twhen persecuted, we endure; 13 when slandered, we entreat. ^uWe have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, ^vthe refuse of all things.

14 I do not write these things ^wto make you ashamed, but to admonish you ^xas my beloved children. 15 For ^ythough you have countless ^{▼▼Greek you have ten thousand} guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For ^aaI became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 16 I urge you, then, ^abbe imitators of me. 17 That is why ^acI sent ^{▼▼Or am sending} you Timothy, ^aemy beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add Jesus} ^agas I teach them everywhere in every church. 18 Some are ^aharrogant, ^aias though I were not coming to you.

2 Corinthians 6:12-13

12 You are not restricted by us, but ^ajyou are restricted in your own affections. 13 ^akIn return (I speak ^alas to children) widen your hearts also.
