## 2 Samuel 15:13-15 in Context (Verses 10–18 KJV)
 
 [10 ](/kjv/2-samuel/15/10) ¶ But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/2-samuel/15/11) And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, *that were* called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/2-samuel/15/12) And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city, *even* from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/2-samuel/15/13) ¶ And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/2-samuel/15/14) And David said unto all his servants that *were* with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not *else* escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/2-samuel/15/15) And the king’s servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants *are ready to do* whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.*
 
 [16 ](/kjv/2-samuel/15/16) And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, *which were* concubines, to keep the house.*
 
 [17 ](/kjv/2-samuel/15/17) And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/2-samuel/15/18) And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
