2 Samuel 15:13-20

13Then a messengerH5046 cameH935 to DavidH1732, sayingH559, “1The heartsH3820 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 are 2with AbsalomH53.” 14DavidH1732 saidH559 to allH3605 his servantsH5650 whoH834 were with him at JerusalemH3389, “3AriseH6965 and let us fleeH1272, for otherwise noneH3808 of us will escapeH6413 from AbsalomH53. GoH1980 in hasteH4116, orH6435 he will overtakeH5381 us quicklyH4116 and bringH5080 downH5080 calamityH7463 on us and strikeH5221 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.” 15Then the king’sH4428 servantsH5650 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “BeholdH2009, your servantsH5650 are ready to do whateverH3605H834 my lordH113 the kingH4428 choosesH977.” 16So the kingH4428 wentH3318 out and allH3605 his householdH1004 4with him. But 5the kingH4428 leftH5800 tenH6235 concubinesH6370 to keepH8104 the houseH1004. 17The kingH4428 wentH3318 out and allH3605 the peopleH5971 6with him, and they stoppedH5975 at the lastH4801 houseH1004. 18Now allH3605 his servantsH5650 passedH5674 on besideH5921H3027 him, 7allH3605 the CherethitesH3774, allH3605 the PelethitesH6432 and allH3605 the GittitesH1663, 8sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 whoH834 had comeH935 9with him from GathH1661, passedH5674 on beforeH6440 the kingH4428.

19Then the kingH4428 saidH559 to 10IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663, “WhyH4100 will you alsoH1571 goH1980 with us? ReturnH7725 and remainH3427 with the kingH4428, for you are a foreignerH5237 and alsoH1571 an exileH1540; return to your own placeH4725. 20You cameH935 only yesterdayH8543, and shall I todayH3117 make you wanderH5128 with us, while 11I goH1980 whereH5921H834 I will? ReturnH7725 and takeH7725 backH7725 your brothersH251; 12mercyH2617 and 13truthH571 be with you.”
