2 Samuel 15:13-17

13Then a messenger came to David saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are following Absalom.”

14Then David said to all his officials who were with him in Jerusalem, “Arise, and let us flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Leave in haste or else he will overtake us quickly and bring disaster down on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”

15Then the king’s officials said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever our lord the king chooses.”

16So the king set out, and his entire household followed him. But the king left behind ten concubines to take care of the palace.

17As the king went out and all the people after him, they paused at the last house.
