2 Samuel 15:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ The king said, “Go in peace.”

So Absalom went to Hebron. ¹⁰ But he sent secret messengers through all the tribes of Israel. They told the people, “When you hear the trumpets, say this: ‘Absalom is the king at Hebron!’”

¹¹ Absalom had invited two hundred men to go with him. So they went from Jerusalem with him, but they didn’t know what he was planning.
