11 This is what Jehovah has said, ‘Here I am raising up against you calamity out of your own house;+ and I will take your wives under your own eyes and give them to your fellowman,+ and he will certainly lie down with your wives under the eyes of this sun.+

14 At once David said to all his servants that were with him in Jerusalem: “Get up, and let us run away;+ for there will prove to be no escaping for us because of Abʹsa·lom! Go hurriedly, for fear he may hurry up and actually catch up with us and bring down upon us what is bad and strike the city with the edge of the sword!”+

12 And we must come against him in one of the places where he is certain to be found,+ and we ourselves will be upon him just as the dew+ falls upon the ground; and there will certainly not be left even a single one among him and all the men that are with him.
