2 Samuel 15:33-35

English Standard Version

³³ David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will be ^(A)a burden to me. ³⁴ But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ^(B)‘I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father's servant in time past, so now I will be your servant,’ then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel. ³⁵ Are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? So whatever you hear from the king's house, ^(C)tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
