2 Samuel 18:1-4
1Then DavidH1732 reviewedH6485 his troopsH5971 and appointedH7760 over themH5921 commandersH8269 of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967H8269. 2HeH1732 sent outH7971 the troopsH5971, a thirdH7992H3027 under JoabH3097, a thirdH7992H3027 under Joab’sH3097 brotherH251 AbishaiH52 sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, and a thirdH7992H3027 under IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663. And the kingH4428 saidH559 toH413 the troopsH5971, “IH589 will surely march outH3318 with youH5973 as wellH1571.”
3But the peopleH5971 pleadedH559, “You must notH3808 go outH3318! ForH3588 ifH518 we have to fleeH5127, they will not careH3808H7760H3820 about usH413. Even ifH518 half of usH2677 dieH4191, they will notH3808 careH7760H3820. ButH3588 you are worthH3644 tenH6235 thousand of usH505.1 It is betterH2896 nowH6258 ifH3588 youH1961 supportH5826 us from the cityH5892.”
4“I will doH6213 whateverH834 seems bestH3190 to youH5869,” the kingH4428 repliedH559. So heH4428 stoodH5975 besideH413H3027 the gateH8179, while allH3605 the troopsH5971 marched outH3318 by hundredsH3967 and by thousandsH505.
