2 Samuel 15:13-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹³ ¶ And the word came to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.

¹⁴ Then David said unto all his slaves that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee, for we shall not otherwise escape from Absalom; make speed to depart lest he overtake us suddenly and bring evil upon us and smite the city with the edge of the sword.

¹⁵ And the king’s slaves said unto the king, Behold, thy slaves are ready to do whatever my lord the king shall choose.

¹⁶ And the king went forth and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.

¹⁷ And the king went forth and all the people after him and stopped in a place that was far off.

¹⁸ And all his slaves passed to his side, and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites, six hundred men who had come on foot with him from Gath, went before the king.
