So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, "Shall three years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you?

So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

And to Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.

And three of the thirty chiefs went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among three mighty men.
