14 Então Davi disse a todos os seus servos que estavam com ele em Jerusalém: Levantai-vos, e fujamos, porque não poderemos escapar diante de Absalão; apressai-vos a partir, não seja que se apressando ele nos alcance, e lance o mal sobre nós, e fira a cidade a fio de espada.

15 E os servos do rei disseram ao rei: Eis que, teus servos estão prontos a tudo que nosso senhor, o rei, decidir fazer.

16 O rei então saiu, com toda sua família depois dele. E deixou o rei dez mulheres concubinas para que guardassem a casa.

17 Saiu pois o rei com todo o povo que lhe seguia, e pararam-se em um lugar distante.
