2 Samuel 19:8-21 The Message (MSG)

8. So the king came out and took his place at the city gate. Soon everyone knew: “Oh, look! The king has come out to receive us.” And his whole army came and presented itself to the king. But the Israelites had fled the field of battle and gone home.

14. He captured the hearts of everyone in Judah. They were unanimous in sending for the king: “Come back, you and all your servants.”

21. Abishai son of Zeruiah interrupted, “Enough of this! Shouldn’t we kill him outright? Why, he cursed God’s anointed!”
