2 Samuel 15:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Your servant made this promise when I lived in Geshur, in Aram. I promised that if the Lord would bring me back to Jerusalem, then I would worship the Lord in Hebron.”^[a]

⁹ “Go in peace,” the king said. So Absalom left and went to Hebron.

¹⁰ But Absalom sent secret agents throughout the tribes of Israel with this message: “When you hear the sound of the trumpet, then say, ‘Absalom has become king in Hebron!’”
