that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedars, and the ark of God dwells under curtains.

And he brought out the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkilns. And so did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

And David sent forth the people, a third part under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.

And Absalom found himself in the presence of David's servants. And Absalom was riding upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of the great terebinth, and his head caught in the terebinth, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.

And he bowed the heavens, and came down; And darkness was under his feet.

Thou enlargedst my steps under me; And mine ankles did not slip.

And I have consumed them and have crushed them, and they rose not again; Yea, they fell under my feet.

And thou girdedst me with strength to battle: Thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.

The God who hath avenged me, And hath brought the peoples under me.
