2 Samuel 19:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ And King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Say to the elders of Judah, Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, when the word of all Israel has come to the king, to bring him to his house?

¹² You are my kinsmen; you are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?

¹³ And say to Amasa, Are you not of my bone and of my flesh? May God do so to me, and more also, if you are not commander of my army hereafter in place of Joab.
