2 Samuel 15:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “^(A)Arise and let us flee, for otherwise none of us will escape from Absalom. Go in haste, or he will overtake us quickly and bring down calamity on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword.” ¹⁵ Then the king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.” ¹⁶ So the king went out and all his household ^[a]with him. But ^(B)the king left ten concubines to keep the house.
