2 Samuel 19:8-15 - David Returns To Jerusalem
8 So the king got up and he sat in the gate, and they told all the army, "Look, the king [is] sitting in the gate." Then all the army came before the king; [whereas] all of Israel had fled, each to his tent. 9 Then it happened that all the people [were] disputing among all the tribes of Israel, saying, "The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies, and he saved us from the hand of [the] Philistines, but now he has fled from the land because of Absalom. 10 Now Absalom whom we anointed [as king] over us has died in the battle; so then, why [are] you taking no action to restore the king?"
11 Then King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah: 'Why [are] you last to bring back the king to his house? The talk of all Israel has come to the king in his house. 12 My brothers, you [are] my bones and you [are] my flesh. Why should you be the last to bring back the king?' 13 To Amasa you shall say: '[Are] you not my bones and my flesh? {May God punish me} if you [are] not the commander of my army before me forever, in place of Joab.'"
14 So he turned the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they sent [word] to the king, "Return, you and all your servants." 15 Then the king returned and he came to the Jordan; Judah had come to Gilgal to come to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.
