2 Samuel 19:9-15

9And all the people were at strife throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land because of Absalom.

10And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle; and now why are ye silent as to bringing the king back?

11And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, to his house.

12Ye are my brethren, ye are my bone and my flesh; and why will ye be the last to bring back the king?

13And say to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? 1God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually instead of Joab.

14And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah as of one man; and they sent to the king, Return, thou and all thy servants.

15And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over the Jordan.
