2 Samuel 19:9-10

9People in all the Israelite tribes were quarrelling with each other. They were saying, ‘King David saved us from the power of the Philistines and all our other enemies. But now Absalom has chased him out of our land.

10We chose Absalom to be our king, but now he has died in the battle. We should surely go and bring David back to be our king again.’
