2 Samuel 15:13-15

New Century Version

¹³ A messenger came to David, saying, “The Israelites are giving their loyalty to Absalom.”

¹⁴ Then David said to all his officers who were with him in Jerusalem, “We must leave quickly! If we don’t, we won’t be able to get away from Absalom. We must hurry before he catches us and destroys us and kills the people of Jerusalem.”

¹⁵ The king’s officers said to him, “We will do anything you say.”
