2 Samuel 15:33-35

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³³ David said to him, ‘If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me. ³⁴ But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, “I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father’s servant in time past, so now I will be your servant”, then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel. ³⁵ The priests Zadok and Abiathar will be with you there. So whatever you hear from the king’s house, tell it to the priests Zadok and Abiathar.
