Context of 2 Samuel 15:36

34Instead, go back into the city. You should say to Absalom, “I accept you as king and I will be your servant. I was once your father's servant, but now I will be your servant.” Then you will be able to speak against Ahithophel's advice. 35The priests, Zadok and Abiathar, will be there with you.
