2 Samuel 15:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 Two hundred men had accompanied Absalom from Jerusalem. They had been invited and went in all innocence, knowing nothing. 12 Absalom also sent to Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, an invitation to come from his town, Giloh, for the sacrifices he was about to offer. So the conspiracy gained strength, and the people with Absalom increased in numbers.(A)
David Flees Jerusalem. 13 An informant came to David with the report, “The Israelites have given their hearts to Absalom,(B) and they are following him.”
