And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 15 of 2 Samuel. After years of preparation, Absalom asks permission to go to Hebron and there openly begins the conspiracy. He sends messengers throughout the tribes and gains the support of Ahithophel, David’s counselor. Hebron has symbolic importance because it was David’s first capital. Absalom thus turns a place associated with the legitimate establishment of his father’s reign into the setting from which he attempts to seize the throne.

Absalom aber sandte auch nach Ahithophel, dem Giloniten, Davids Rat, aus seiner Stadt Gilo. Da er nun die Opfer tat, ward der Bund stark, und das Volk lief zu und mehrte sich mit Absalom.
También envió Absalom por Achitophel Gilonita, del consejo de David, a Gilo su ciudad, mientras hacía sus sacrificios. Y la conjuración vino a ser grande, pues se iba aumentando el pueblo con Absalom.
Pendant qu'Absalom offrait les sacrifices, il envoya chercher à la ville de Guilo Achitophel, le Guilonite, conseiller de David. La conjuration devint puissante, et le peuple était de plus en plus nombreux auprès d'Absalom.
Ed Absalom, quando fu per sacrificare i sacrificii, mandò per Ahitofel Ghilonita, consigliere di Davide, che venisse da Ghilo, sua città; e la conguira divenne potente, e il popolo andava crescendo di numero appresso di Absalom
Também Absalão mandou vir Aitofel, o gilonita, do conselho de Davi, à sua cidade de Giló, estando ele oferecendo os seus sacrifícios; e a conjuração se fortificava, e vinha o povo, e ia crescendo com Absalão.
