Verse 7
2 Samuel 19:7
English Revised Version
7
Now therefore arise, go forth and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry a man with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now.

To love your enemies and to hate your friends, for you have declared today that there are no princes and servants, for I know today that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then it would be right in your eyes.
