2 Samuel 15:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ So David said to the officers who were with him in Jerusalem, ‘We must go! We must run away! If we do not do that, no one will escape from Absalom. Hurry, or he will quickly catch us here. Then he will destroy us and our whole city!’

¹⁵ The king's officers answered, ‘Our lord the king, we will do anything that you decide is right.’

¹⁶ So the king left home. He took all his servants and family with him. But he left ten of his slave wives to take care of the palace.
