2 Samuel 19:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ However, Absalom, whom we anointed to rule us, has died in battle. Why is no one talking about bringing back the king?”

¹¹ What all Israel was saying reached the king at his house. So King David sent ⌞this message⌟ to the priests Zadok and Abiathar: “Ask the leaders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last ⌞tribe⌟ to bring the king back to his palace? ¹² You are my relatives, my own flesh and blood. Why should you be the last to bring back the king?’
