2 Samuel 16:11
11And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, amy own son seeks my life; how much more now may this Benjaminite! Leave him alone, and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to.2 Samuel 17:2-4
2I will come upon him while he is bweary and discouraged and throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. cI will strike down only the king, 3and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride comes home to her husband. You seek the life of only one man, ▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew back to you. Like the return of the whole is the man whom you seek
and all the people will be at peace.” 4And the advice seemed right in the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel. Psalms 3:1-2
