Context Readings

Absalom Leads A Rebellion

11 And, with Absolom, went two hundred men, out of Jerusalem, who, having been bidden, were going in their simplicity, - neither knew they anything. 12 And Absalom sent and called Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, out of his city, out of Gilo, when he was offering sacrifices, - and so it was that the conspiracy was strong, and, the people, went on multiplying with Absolom. 13 Then came one bearing tidings unto David, saying, - It hath come about, that the heart of the men of Israel goeth after Absolom.
