2 Samuel 15:12
“And the book of his history also sheweth us David's innocency, for on account of his simplicity in the direction of the affairs of this world he had one to give him counsel concerning human business with him continually; for the Book maketh known to us that Ahithophel was David's counsellor.”

10And Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then shall ye say, Absalom is become king in Hebron.
11And there went with Absalom two hundred chosen men from Jerusalem; and they went in their simplicity, and knew not anything.
— 2 Samuel 15:12 —
13And there came a messenger to David, saying, The heart of the men of Israel is gone after Absalom.
14And David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, Rise, and let us flee, for we have no refuge from Absalom: make haste and go, lest he overtake us speedily, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
