2 Samuel 15:33-35

Modern English Version

³³ David said to him, “If you pass on with me, you will be a burden to me. ³⁴ But if you return to the city, you may say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, O king, as I was a servant of your father. As I was then, so now I am your servant,’ so as to counter the advice of Ahithophel. ³⁵ Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be with you there? You shall report everything that you hear from the king’s house to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
