2 Samuel 17:16New Messianic Version BibleNow therefore send quickly, and tell David [beloved], saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallow (to approve, commend, accept)ed up, and all the people that [are] with him. See the chapter |
And David [beloved] said unto all his servants that [were] with him at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not [else] escape from Avshalom [my father is peace]: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.
