2 Samuel 15:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ The king went forth with all the people after him, and halted at the last house.

¹⁸ All David’s servants passed on beside him, along with [his bodyguards] all the Cherethites, Pelethites; also all the Gittites, 600 men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.

¹⁹ The king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why do you go with us also? Return to your place and remain with the king [Absalom], for you are a foreigner and an exile.
