Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some [other] place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
Behold, he is hid {H2244} now in some {H259} pit {H6354}, or in some {H259} other place {H4725}: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown {H5307} at the first {H8462}, that whosoever {H8085} heareth {H8085} it will say {H559}, There is a slaughter {H4046} among the people {H5971} that follow {H310} Absalom {H53}.
right now he's hidden in a pit or somewhere. So what will happen is this: when they begin their attack, and whoever hears about it says, 'A slaughter is taking place among Avshalom's followers,'
Surely by now he is hiding in a cave or some other location. If some of your troops fall first, whoever hears of it will say, ‘There has been a slaughter among the troops who follow Absalom.’
Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them are fallen at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
