Thematic Bible: Conspires against his father, david

And there came a messenger to David and said, "The hearts of the men of Israel are to follow Absalom." Then said David unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, "Up, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart; lest he come suddenly and catch us and bring some mischief upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword."
