 2 SAMUEL 15

Absalom builds up a gradual following, and plans a coup against David. An informant tells David, who tells his supporters to flee Jerusalem to the Mount of Olives. David tells his foreign mercenaries to go back to Jerusalem since they owe no allegiance, but they insist on going with David.
