2 Samuel 19:10-12
Common English Bible
10 And Absalom, the one we anointed over us, is dead in battle. So why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?”
11 When the things that all the Israelites were saying reached the king,[a] David sent a message to the priests Zadok and Abiathar: “Say the following to the elders of Judah: ‘Why should you be the last to bring the king back to his palace?[b] 12 You are my relatives! You are my flesh and bones! Why should you be the last to bring the king back?’
