13 Someone came to David with the report, "The whole country has taken up with Absalom!"
14 "Up and out of here!" called David to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem. "We've got to run for our lives or none of us will escape Absalom! Hurry, he's about to pull the city down around our ears and slaughter us all!"
15 The king's servants said, "Whatever our master, the king, says, we'll do; we're with you all the way!"
