2 Samuel 18:3-4
3But the peopleH5971 saidH559, “1You should not goH3318 outH3318; for ifH518 inH5127 factH5127 we fleeH5127, they will not careH7760H3820 aboutH413 us; and ifH518 halfH2677 of us dieH4191, they will not careH7760H3820 aboutH413 us. But 2you are 3worth tenH6235 thousandH505 of us; so nowH6258 it is betterH2896 that you will be ready to helpH5826 us from the cityH5892.”
4Then the kingH4428 saidH559 to them, “WhateverH834 seemsH3190 bestH3190 to you I will doH6213.” So 4the kingH4428 stoodH5975 besideH413H3027 the gateH8179, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 wentH3318 outH3318 by hundredsH3967 and thousandsH505.
