2 Samuel 19:11-13

New King James Version

¹¹ So King David sent to ^(A)Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the words of all Israel have come to the king, to his very house? ¹² You are my brethren, you are ^(B)my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?’ ^13 (C)And say to Amasa, ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? ^(D)God do so to me, and more also, if you are not commander of the army before me ^[a]continually in place of Joab.’ ”
