12. Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, the advisor of David, from his city Giloh, while he offered the sacrifices. The conspiracy grew in strength, and the people were going and increasing with Absalom.
13. Then the messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.”
