2 Samuel 15:13-15

Modern English Version

David Flees Jerusalem

¹³ A messenger came to David and said, “The hearts of the men of Israel are following Absalom.”

¹⁴ David said to all of his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, “Get up. We must flee or there will be no escape from Absalom for us. Hurry up and leave, or he will soon reach us and bring disaster upon us, striking the city with the edge of the sword.”

¹⁵ The king’s servants said to the king, “Whatever our lord the king decides, we are your servants.”
