2 Samuel 15:12 in Context — 2 Samuel 15

10 Empero envió Absalom espías por todas las tribus de Israel, diciendo: Cuando oyereis el sonido de la trompeta, diréis: Absalom reina en Hebrón.

11 Y fueron con Absalom doscientos hombres de Jerusalem [por él] convidados, los cuales iban en su sencillez, sin saber nada.

12 También envió Absalom por Achitophel Gilonita, del consejo de David, á Gilo su ciudad, mientras hacía sus sacrificios. Y la conjuración vino á ser grande, pues se iba aumentando el pueblo con Absalom.

13 Y vino el aviso á David, diciendo: El corazón de todo Israel va tras Absalom.

14 Entonces David dijo á todos sus siervos que estaban con él en Jerusalem: Levantaos y huyamos, porque no podremos escapar delante de Absalom; daos priesa á partir, no sea que apresurándose él nos alcance, y arroje el mal sobre nosotros, y hiera la ciudad á filo de espada.
