Absalom, by fair speeches and courtesies, steals the hearts of Israel. |
By pretense of a vow, he obtains leave to go to Hebron |
He makes there a great conspiracy |
David upon the news flees from Jerusalem |
Ittai will leave him |
Zadok and Abiathar are sent back with the ark |
David and his company go up mount Olivet weeping, |
He curses Ahithophel's counsel |
Hushai is sent back with instructions |
