Read 2 Samuel 19.8b-15
In 19.11-43: David returns to Jerusalem.
In verse 11: David contacts the leaders or elders of Judah to encourage them to welcome him back as king.
In verse 13: David appoints Amasa as his army commander in place of Joab.
Amasa was David's nephew (17.25) and had been Absalom's commander.
This provides a motive for Joab's murder of Amasa (20.10).
In verse 14: Amasa, in turn, persuades the people (army) of Judah to return to David.
