2 Samuel 15:13-15

New Life Version

David Runs from Jerusalem

¹³ Then a man came to David with news, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom.” ¹⁴ David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Get up and let us run. Or else none of us will be safe from Absalom. Hurry and go, or he will be quick to catch us and bring trouble upon us. He would destroy the city with the sword.” ¹⁵ The king’s servants said to him, “See, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
