NASB
""However, Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now then, why are you silent about bringing the king back?""
— 2 Samuel 19:10, NASB
“And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?”
“And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back? ”
“Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why don't you speak a word of bringing the king back?"”
“But Absalom, whom we anointed as our king, has died in battle. So now why do you hesitate to bring the king back?””
“But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in the battle: how long are you silent, and bring not back the king?”
“And Absalom, whom we made a ruler over us, is dead in the fight. So now why do you say nothing about getting the king back? And word of what all Israel was saying came to the king.”
“And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?”
"Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, surely not a man will pass the night with you, and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now."
So the king arose and sat in the gate. When they told all the people, saying, "Behold, the king is sitting in the gate," then all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled, each to his tent.
All the people were quarreling throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies and saved us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.
"However, Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now then, why are you silent about bringing the king back?"
Then King David sent to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, 'Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the word of all Israel has come to the king, even to his house?
'You are my brothers; you are my bone and my flesh. Why then should you be the last to bring back the king?'
"Say to Amasa, 'Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do so to me, and more also, if you will not be commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab.'"
