2 Samuel 19:5-7
International Standard Version
5 Joab went up to the palace and rebuked the king: “Today you’ve humiliated your entire army who just saved your life, the lives of your sons and daughters, and the lives of your wives and mistresses! 6 You love those who hate you and hate those who love you! You’ve made it abundantly clear today that your officers and the men under them[a] mean nothing to you! I’ve learned today that you would rather have Absalom alive today and all the rest of us dead! 7 Now get up and restore the morale of[b] your army. I swear by the Lord that if you don’t get out there, you won’t have a single man left in your army[c] by nightfall! You’ll be in more trouble today than all the disasters you’ve been through from your boyhood until now!”
