2 Samuel 18:3-4
3But the people said, “1You should not go out; for if in fact we flee, they will not care about us; and if half of us die, they will not care about us. But 2you are 3worth ten thousand of us; so now it is better that you will be ready to help us from the city.”
4Then the king said to them, “Whatever seems best to you I will do.” So 4the king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and thousands.
