2 Samuel 15:18-22
18Now all of his servants passed by beside him, and 1all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, 2six hundred men who had come 3with him from Gath, passed by before the king.
19Then the king said to 4Ittai the Gittite, “Why should you go with us too? Return and stay with 5your king, since you are a foreigner and an exile as well; return to your own place. 20You came only yesterday, so should I make you wander with us today, while 6I go wherever I go? Return and take your brothers back; 7mercy and 8truth be with you.” 21But Ittai answered the king and said, “As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, 9wherever my lord the king may be, whether for death or for life, there assuredly shall your servant be!” 22Then David said to Ittai, “Go and cross over the brook Kidron.” So Ittai the Gittite crossed over with all his men and all the 10little ones who were with him.
