Chapter 17

KJV - 2 Samuel 17:16

Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.

Tell David not to stay in the open fields tonight. He should quickly cross over. This is important so the king doesn't get caught, and neither does everyone with him.
