2 Samuel 19:8-15 - David Returns To Jerusalem

⁸ And the king will rise and sit in the gate. And to all the people they announced, saying, Behold, the king sitting in the gate. And all the people will come before the king: and Israel fled a man to his tent ⁹ And all the people will be judging in all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us from the hand of the rovers and now he fled from the land from Absalom. ¹⁰ And Absalom whom we anointed over us died in war. And now, wherefore are ye silent to turn back the king?

¹¹ And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak ye to the old men of Judah, saying, Wherefore will ye be the last to turn back the king to his house? And the word of all Israel came to the king to his house. ¹² Ye my brethren; my bone and flesh are ye: and wherefore will ye be last to turn back the king? ¹³ And to Amass. ye shall say, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? thus will God do to me and thus will he add, if thou shalt not be chief of the army before me all the days, instead of Joab.

¹⁴ And he will incline the heart of all the men of Judah as one man; and they will send to the king, Turn back thou, and all thy servants. ¹⁵ And the king will turn back and come to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to cause the king to pass over Jordan.
