2 Samuel 19:11,12

Speak unto the elders of Judah Absalom had begun his conspiracy in Jerusalem itself, and perfected it in Hebron, both cities of Judah; and the people of that tribe had been the first to join him in his rebellion, and to aid and abet his designs; conscious of this, and that, as David was of their tribe, and had long shown them peculiar kindness, their guilt was the greater, they probably despaired of pardon, and, therefore, were backward to promote the king's restoration. Seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king That is, their wishes and desires to bring him back to his throne and palace in Jerusalem. Ye are my bone and my flesh Ye are related to me by consanguinity, and therefore I cannot be severe with you, nor need you fear lest I should revenge myself of you. Wherefore, then, are ye the last to bring back the king? This delay doth not suit with the relation you have, and the affection you owe to me.
