2 Samuel 15:15 In-Context

13 A messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the Israelites have gone after Absalom."

14 Then David said to all his officials who were with him at Jerusalem, "Get up! Let us flee, or there will be no escape for us from Absalom. Hurry, or he will soon overtake us, and bring disaster down upon us, and attack the city with the edge of the sword."

15 The king's officials said to the king, "Your servants are ready to do whatever our lord the king decides."

16 So the king left, followed by all his household, except ten concubines whom he left behind to look after the house.

17 The king left, followed by all the people; and they stopped at the last house.
