Rebellion: Absalom

Some time later, Absalom provided for himself a chariot with horses and fifty men to run ahead of him.

When David had gone a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth was there to meet him. He had a pair of saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred clusters of raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.

Furthermore, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men and set out tonight in pursuit of David.

Then David reviewed his troops and appointed over them commanders of thousands and of hundreds.
