EasyEnglish Bible

David runs away from Jerusalem

¹³ Somebody brought this message to David: ‘The Israelites are now faithful to Absalom instead of you.’

¹⁴ So David said to the officers who were with him in Jerusalem, ‘We must go! We must run away! If we do not do that, no one will escape from Absalom. Hurry, or he will quickly catch us here. Then he will destroy us and our whole city!’

¹⁵ The king's officers answered, ‘Our lord the king, we will do anything that you decide is right.’
