A Melody of David, when he fled from before Absolom his son. Yahweh! how have mine adversaries multiplied, Multitudes, are rising against me;

And, Absolom and all the men of Israel, entered Jerusalem,—and Ahithophel with him.
And all the people, answering, said—His blood be upon us and upon our children!
And, brother, will deliver up, brother, unto death, and, father, child,—and, children, will rise up, against parents, and will put them to death.
And, when all these kings were gathered together, they came in, and encamped as one man, at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
