Absalom goes to Hebron, sends spies, and sends for Ahithophel, David’s counselor

헤브론으로 간 압살롬이 정탐을 보내고 다윗의 모사 아히도벨을 청하여 옴

2 Samuel 15:7–12: at the end of forty years, Absalom says to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron. For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the LORD shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’” The king says to him, “Go in peace.” So he arises and goes to Hebron. But Absalom sends spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’” Two hundred men go with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and go in their simplicity; and they don’t know anything. Absalom sends for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he is offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy is strong, for the people increase continually with Absalom. The Korean Revised Version opens 15:7 with 사년만에 (after four years), and at 15:8 reads 아람 그술.
