« 2 Sam 182 Sam 192 Sam 20 »

11 Now King David had sent to ^aZadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to have the king return to his house, while the word of all Israel has come to the king, even to his house? 12 You are my brothers; ^ayou are my bone and my flesh. Why then should you be the last to have the king return?’ 13 And say to ^aAmasa, ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? ^bMay God do so to me, and more also, if you will not be ^ccommander of the army before me continually ^din place of Joab.’” 14 Thus he inclined the hearts of all the men of Judah ^aas one man, so they sent word to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”
