2 Samuel 19:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² You are my brother. You are my bone and my flesh. Why are you last to bring back the king?’ ¹³ Say to Amasa, ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do to me, and more so, if you are not commander of the army before me from now on in the place of Joab.’ ”

¹⁴ He swayed the heart of every man of Judah as though they were one man, and they sent a message to the king: “Return, you and all of your servants.”
