35 Zadok and Abiathar the priests will be there with you.[a] Everything you hear in the king’s palace[b] you must tell Zadok and Abiathar the priests. 36 Furthermore, their two sons are there with them, Zadok’s son Ahimaaz and Abiathar’s son Jonathan. You must send them to me with any information you hear.”[c]
37 So David’s friend Hushai arrived in the city, just as Absalom was entering Jerusalem.
