2 Samuel 15:9 In-Context

7 At the end of four years Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go to Hebron and pay the vow that I have made to the Lord.

8 For your servant made a vow while I lived at Geshur in Aram: If the Lord will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will worship the Lord in Hebron."

9 The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he got up, and went to Hebron.

10 But Absalom sent secret messengers throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then shout: Absalom has become king at Hebron!"

11 Two hundred men from Jerusalem went with Absalom; they were invited guests, and they went in their innocence, knowing nothing of the matter.
