2 Samuel 15:13-14 NIV

[13] A messenger came and told David, “The hearts of the people of Israel are with Absalom.” [14] Then David said to all his officials who were with him in Jerusalem, “Come! We must flee, or none of us will escape from Absalom. We must leave immediately, or he will move quickly to overtake us and bring ruin on us and put the city to the sword.”
