A messenger came and told David,
"The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom."
Then David said to all his officials
who were with him in Jerusalem,
"Come! We must flee,
or none of us will escape from Absalom.
We must leave immediately,
or he will move quickly to overtake us
and bring ruin upon us
and put the city to the sword."
The king's officials answered him,
"Your servants are ready to do
whatever our lord the king chooses."
The king set out,
with his entire household following him;
but he left ten concubines to take care of the palace.
(II Samuel 15:13-16)
