2 Samuel 19:11-13

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ But King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar, the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, and say, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the saying of all Israel has come to the king, to his house?

¹² ‘You are my brethren. My bones and my flesh are yours. Why, then, are you the last who bring the king back?’

¹³ “Also, say to Amasa, ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also if you are not captain of the army to me forever in the room of Joab!’”
