2 Samuel 19:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ Then the king arose and sat in the gate: and it was told to all the people that the king sat in the gate: and all the people came before the king, but Israel fled to their own dwellings.

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?
