8 aFor your servant btook a vow cwhile I dwelt at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the Lord indeed brings me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.’ ”
9 And the king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
10 Then Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom areigns in Hebron!’ ”
11 And with Absalom went two hundred men ainvited from Jerusalem, and they bwent along innocently and did not know anything.
12 Then Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, aDavid’s counselor, from his city—from bGiloh—while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy grew strong, for the people with Absalom ccontinually increased in number.
