2 Samuel 15:13-17

13And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom. 14And David said to all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he should overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.1 15And the king’s servants said to the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king shall appoint.2 16And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.3 17And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
