11 Two hundred men from Jerusalem went with Absalom. They had been invited and were going innocently, for they knew nothing about the whole matter. 12 While he was offering the sacrifices, Absalom sent for David’s adviser Ahithophel the Gilonite,(A) from his city of Giloh. So the conspiracy grew strong, and the people supporting Absalom continued to increase.
