← 2 Samuel 19:11	2 Samuel 19:12 (KJV)	2 Samuel 19:13 →
And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, [even] to his house.	Ye [are] my brethren, ye [are] my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?	And say ye to Amasa, [Art] thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
