But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom is king in Hebron.

But Absalom at the same time sent watchers through all the tribes of Israel to say, At the sound of the horn you are to say, Absalom is king in Hebron.

Απεστειλε δε ο Αβεσσαλωμ κατασκοπους εις πασας τας φυλας του Ισραηλ, λεγων, Καθως ακουσητε την φωνην της σαλπιγγος, θελετε ειπει Ο Αβεσσαλωμ εβασιλευσεν εν Χεβρων.

But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
