7Now it cameH1961 about at the endH7093 of 1fortyH705 yearsH8141 that AbsalomH53 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “PleaseH4994 let me goH1980 and payH7999 my vowH5088 whichH834 I have vowedH5087 to the LordH3068, in 2HebronH2275. 8For your servantH5650 3vowedH5087 a vowH5088 while I was livingH3427 at GeshurH1650 in AramH758, sayingH559, ‘4IfH518 the LordH3068 shall indeedH7725 bringH7725 me backH7725 to JerusalemH3389, then I will serveH5647 the LordH3068.’” 9The kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “GoH1980 in peaceH7965.” So he aroseH6965 and wentH1980 to HebronH2275. 10But AbsalomH53 sentH7971 spiesH7270 throughout allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “As soon as you hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, then you shall sayH559, ‘5AbsalomH53 is kingH4427 in HebronH2275.’” 11Then two hundredH3967 menH376 wentH1980 with AbsalomH53 from JerusalemH3389, 6who were invitedH7121 and 7wentH1980 8innocentlyH8537, and they did not knowH3045 anythingH3605H1697. 12And AbsalomH53 sentH7971 for 9AhithophelH302 the GiloniteH1526, David’sH1732 counselorH3289, from his cityH5892 10GilohH1542, while he was offeringH2076 the sacrificesH2077.
