2 Samuel 15:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ When I was living at Geshur with the Arameans, I made this promise: “If the Lord brings me back to live in Jerusalem, I will go to Hebron and I will worship him there.” ’

⁹ The king said, ‘Yes, you may go.’ So Absalom left Jerusalem and he went to Hebron.

¹⁰ Then Absalom sent his men to go secretly to all the tribes of Israel. They took this message to the people: ‘When you hear the noise of trumpets, then you must shout, “Absalom has become king in Hebron.” ’
