2 Samuel 15:19-22
19Then the kingH4428 saidH559 to 1IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663, “WhyH4100 should you goH1980 with us tooH1571? ReturnH7725 and stayH3427 with 2your kingH4428, sinceH3588 you are a foreignerH5237 and an exileH1540 asH1571 wellH1571; return to your own placeH4725.
20You cameH935 only yesterdayH8543, so should I make you wanderH5128 with us todayH3117, while 3I goH1980 whereverH5921H834 I goH1980? ReturnH7725 and takeH7725 your brothersH251 backH7725; 4mercyH2617 and 5truthH571 be with you.”
21But IttaiH863 answeredH6030 the kingH4428 and saidH559, “As the LordH3068 livesH2416, and as my lordH113 the kingH4428 livesH2416, 6whereverH4725H834H8033 my lordH113 the kingH4428 may be, whetherH518 for deathH4194 orH518 for lifeH2425, thereH8033 assuredlyH3588H518 shall your servantH5650 be!”
22Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to IttaiH863, “GoH1980 and crossH5674 overH5674 the brook Kidron.” So IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663 crossedH5674 overH5674 with allH3605 his menH376 and allH3605 the 7littleH2945 onesH2945 whoH834 were with him.
