2 Samuel 15:7-12
7Now it came about at the end of 1four years that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow which I have made to the Lord, in 2Hebron. 8For your servant 3made a vow while I was living in Geshur in Aram, saying, ‘4If the Lord will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.’” 9The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he got up and went to Hebron. 10But Absalom sent spies throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘5Absalom is king in Hebron!’” 11Then two hundred men went with Absalom from Jerusalem, 6who were invited and 7went 8innocently, for they did not know anything. 12And Absalom sent for 9Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city 10Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong, for 11the people continually increased with Absalom.
