Context of 2 Samuel 15:36

34but if you return to the city and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, Your Majesty! Previously, I was your father’s servant, but now I will be your servant,’ then you can counteract Ahithophel’s counsel for me. 35Won’t the priests Zadok and Abiathar be there with you?

Send them to tell me everything you hear.” 37So Hushai, David’s personal adviser, entered Jerusalem just as Absalom was entering the city.
