2 Samuel 15:18-20
New King James Version
18 Then all his servants passed [a]before him; (A)and all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, (B)six hundred men who had followed him from Gath, passed before the king.
19 Then the king said to (C)Ittai the Gittite, “Why are you also going with us? Return and remain with the king. For you are a foreigner and also an exile from your own place. 20 In fact, you came only yesterday. Should I make you wander up and down with us today, since I go (D)I know not where? Return, and take your brethren back. Mercy and truth be with you.”

19 The king said to Ittai(B) the Gittite, “Why should you come along with us? Go back and stay with King Absalom. You are a foreigner,(C) an exile from your homeland. 20 You came only yesterday. And today shall I make you wander(D) about with us, when I do not know where I am going? Go back, and take your people with you. May the Lord show you kindness and faithfulness.”[a](E)
