Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
UAbhisalom wathumela, wabiza uAhitofele waseGilo, umphakathi kaDavide, emzini wakhe eGilo, ebingelela imibingelelo. Laba namandla elo yelenqe; kuba abantu baya besanda kuAbhisalom.
