13And there cameH935 a messengerH5046 to DavidH1732, sayingH559, The heartsH3820 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 are afterH310 AbsalomH53. 14And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto all his servantsH5650 that were with him at JerusalemH3389, AriseH6965, and let us fleeH1272; for we shall not else escapeH6413 fromH6440 AbsalomH53: make speedH4116 to departH3212, lest he overtakeH5381 us suddenlyH4116, and bringH5080 evilH7451 upon us, and smiteH5221 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.1 15And the king’sH4428 servantsH5650 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Behold, thy servantsH5650 are ready to do whatsoever my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall appointH977.2 16And the kingH4428 went forthH3318, and all his householdH1004 afterH7272 him. And the kingH4428 leftH5800 tenH6235 womenH802, which were concubinesH6370, to keepH8104 the houseH1004.3 17And the kingH4428 went forthH3318, and all the peopleH5971 afterH7272 him, and tarriedH5975 in a placeH1004 that was far offH1023H4801. 18And all his servantsH5650 passed onH5674 besideH3027 him; and all the CherethitesH3774, and all the PelethitesH6432, and all the GittitesH1663, sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 which cameH935 afterH7272 him from GathH1661, passed onH5674 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.

19Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663, Wherefore goestH3212 thou also with us? returnH7725 to thy placeH4725, and abideH3427 with the kingH4428: for thou art a strangerH5237, and also an exileH1540. 20Whereas thou camestH935 but yesterdayH8543, should I this dayH3117 make thee goH3212 up and downH5128 with us? seeing I goH1980 whither I may, returnH7725 thou, and take backH7725 thy brethrenH251: mercyH2617 and truthH571 be with thee.4
