11 And King David sent to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you? the last to bring back the king to his house, since the words of all Israel have come to the king, to his house? 12 My brothers you? are, my bone and you? are my flesh. And why are you? the last to bring back the king?’ 13 And say to Amasa, ‘Is it not that you are my bone and my flesh? So may God do to me, and even may He add, if you are not the commander of the army before me all the days in place of Joab.’” 14 And he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah as one man. And they sent to the king, “Return, you and all your servants.” 15 And the king returned and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan. 2 Samuel 19:11-15, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
