2 Samuel 19:10-12

10and Absalom, whom we anointed to rule over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?”

11King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests: “Ask the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to bring the king back to his palace, since what is being said throughout Israel has reached the king at his quarters?

12You are my relatives, my own flesh and blood. So why should you be the last to bring back the king?’
