13 Then the messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom."

14 Then David said to all his servants who [were] with him in Jerusalem, "Get up and let us flee, for there will be no escape for us from Absalom! Hurry to go, otherwise he will come quickly and overtake us! And he will bring disaster on us and evil! He will attack the city with the edge of the sword!"

15 Then the servants of the king said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king chooses, {your servants are ready to act}!"
