And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, even to his house.
King David asked priests Zadok and Abiathar to talk to the older people of Judah. He wanted to know why they were the last ones to return him to his home, when everyone in Israel had already shared their thoughts with him at his house.
