Contextual Overview

7 After four years Absalom said to King David, "Please let me go to Hebron. I want to carry out my promise that I made to the Lord 8 while I was living in Geshur in Aram. I said, ‘If the Lord takes me back to Jerusalem, I will worship him in Hebron.'" 9 The king said, "Go in peace." So Absalom went to Hebron. 10 But he sent secret messengers through all the tribes of Israel. They told the people, "When you hear the trumpets, say this: ‘Absalom is the king at Hebron!'" 11 Absalom had invited two hundred men to go with him. So they went from Jerusalem with him, but they didn't know what he was planning. 12 While Absalom was offering sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel, one of the people who advised David, to come from his hometown of Giloh. So Absalom's plans were working very well. More and more people began to support him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But Absalom sent spies throughout all the land of Israel,.... To sound the disposition of the people towards him, to insinuate things into their minds in favour of him, and to improve every opportunity of recommending him to their esteem and affections:

saying, as soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet; in any place; and which it is probable he employed men to sound in many places:

then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron: which is the cause of the trumpet's sounding; and by this means they would learn how the people stood affected to him, whether the news was grateful or not.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 15:10. Absalom sent spies — These persons were to go into every tribe; and the trumpet was to be blown as a signal for all to arise, and proclaim Absalom in every place. The trumpet was probably used as a kind of telegraph by the spies: trumpet exciting trumpet from place to place; so that, in a few minutes all Israel would hear the proclamation.
