And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, one of David's helpers, from Giloh his town, while he was making the offerings. And the design against David became strong, for more and more people were joined to Absalom.

13

And one came to David and said, The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.

14

And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Come, let us go in flight, or not one of us will be safe from Absalom: let us go without loss of time, or he will overtake us quickly and send evil on us, and put the town to the sword.

15

And the king's servants said to the king, See, your servants are ready to do whatever the king says is to be done.

So the king went out, taking with him all the people of his house, but for ten of his women, who were to take care of the house.
