2 Samuel 15:13-14

New International Version

David Flees

¹³ A messenger came and told David, “The hearts of the people of Israel are with Absalom.”

¹⁴ Then David said to all his officials who were with him in Jerusalem, “Come! We must flee,^(A) or none of us will escape from Absalom.^(B) We must leave immediately, or he will move quickly to overtake us and bring ruin on us and put the city to the sword.”
