2 Samuel 15:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ But he sent ·secret messengers [spies; or runners] through all the tribes of Israel. They told the people, “When you hear the trumpets, say this: ‘Absalom is the king ·at [in] Hebron!’”

¹¹ Absalom ·had invited [took] two hundred men to go with him. So they went from Jerusalem with him [^Linnocently], ·but they didn’t know [not knowing] what he was planning. ¹² While Absalom was offering sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel, ·one of the people who advised David [David’s counselor], to come from his hometown of Giloh. So ·Absalom’s plans were working very well [the conspiracy grew stronger]. More and more people began to support him.
