¹⁰ But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now why are you idle to bring back the king?”

¹¹ Then David sent word to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Israel, saying, ‘Why are you last to bring the king back to his house when the word of all Israel has come to the king, to his house? ¹² You are my brother. You are my bone and my flesh. Why are you last to bring back the king?’
