2 Samuel 19:8 in Context — 2 Samuel 19
6 Amando aos que te aborrecem, e aborrecendo aos que te amam: porque hoje declaraste que nada te importam teus príncipes e servos; pois hoje deste a entender que se Absalão vivesse, bem que nós todos estivéssemos hoje mortos, então te contentarias.
7 Levanta-te, pois, agora, e sai fora, e elogia a teus servos: porque juro pelo SENHOR, que se não saíres, nem um sequer ficará contigo esta noite; e disto te pesará mais que de todos os males que te sobrevieram desde tua juventude até agora.
8 Então se levantou o rei, e sentou-se à porta; e foi declarado a todo aquele povo, dizendo: Eis que o rei está sentado à porta. E veio todo aquele povo diante do rei; mas Israel havia fugido, cada um a suas moradas.
9 E todo aquele povo discutia em todas as tribos de Israel, dizendo: O rei nos livrou da mão de nossos inimigos, e ele nos salvou da mão dos filisteus; e agora havia fugido, da terra por medo de Absalão.
10 E Absalão, a quem havíamos ungido sobre nós, é morto na batalha. Por que, pois, estais agora quietos em ordem a fazer voltar ao rei?
