2 Samuel 19:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² You are my brothers! I belong to your family. So you should not be the last people to bring me back as your king.” ¹³ Also, say to Amasa, “We belong to the same family. I promise you that I will now make you the leader of my army, instead of Joab. I ask God to punish me if I do not do that for you.” ’

¹⁴ Because of this message, all the people of Judah's tribe agreed to serve David as their king. They sent this message to the king: ‘Return to us, together with all your officers.’
