2 Samuel 19:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² You are my ·brothers [relatives; kin], my own ·family [^Lbone and flesh]. Why are you the last tribe to ·bring [welcome] back the king?’ ¹³ And say to Amasa, ‘·You are part of my own family [^LAre you not my bone and flesh?]. May God punish me terribly if I don’t make you commander of the army [^Lfrom now on; for life] in Joab’s place!’”

¹⁴ ·David [or Amasa; ^LHe] ·touched [turned; swayed] the hearts of all the people of Judah ·at once [as one]. They sent a message to the king that said, “Return with all ·your men [^Lwho serve you].”
