2 Samuel 19:11-13

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹¹ And King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar, the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why shall ye be the last to bring the king back to his house? Seeing that the word of all Israel has come to the king, to return him to his house.

¹² Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh; why then are ye the last to bring back the king?

¹³ Likewise say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone and of my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the place of Joab.
