2 Samuel 19:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And all the people were at strife in all the tribes of Israel, saying: The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines: and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.

¹⁰ But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in the battle: how long are you silent, and bring not back the king?

¹¹ And king David sent to Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, saying: Speak to the ancients of Juda, saying: Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? (For the talk of all Israel was come to the king in his house.)
