2 Samuel 19:9-10

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁹ People throughout all the tribes of Israel were arguing among themselves, saying, ‘The king rescued us from the grasp of our enemies,^(A) and he saved us from the grasp of the Philistines,^(B) but now he has fled from the land because of Absalom.^{(C) 10} But Absalom, the man we anointed over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about restoring the king? ’
