2 Samuel 15:12-13

12 While Absalom was offering sacrifices, he also sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, to come from Giloh, his hometown. And so the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom’s following kept on increasing.

13 David Flees
A messenger came and told David, “The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom.”
