2 Samuel 18:1-5

1And DavidH1732 numberedH6485 the peopleH5971 that were with him, and setH7760 captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 over them.

2And DavidH1732 sentH7971 forthH3318 the peopleH5971, a thirdH7992 partH3027 underH3027 the handH3027 of JoabH3097, and a thirdH7992 partH3027 underH3027 the handH3027 of AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, Joab’sH3097 brotherH251, and a thirdH7992 partH3027 underH3027 the handH3027 of IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663. And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, I will surelyH3318 goH3318 forthH3318 with youH7971 myselfH589 also.

3But the peopleH5971 saidH559, Thou shalt notH3808 goH3318 forthH3318: for ifH518 weH3588 fleeH5127 awayH5127, they will notH3808 care for usH413; neitherH3808 ifH518 halfH2677 of usH413 dieH4191, will they care for usH413: but thou art worth tenH6235 thousandH505 of usH413: therefore nowH6258 it is betterH2896 that thou be readyH6258 to succour usH413 outH3318 of the cityH5892.

4And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto them, WhatH834 seemeth youH834 bestH3190 I will doH6213. And the kingH4428 stoodH5975 by the gateH8179 sideH3027, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 wentH3381 outH413 by hundredsH3967 and by thousandsH505.

5And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 and IttaiH863, sayingH559, Deal gentlyH328 for my sakeH5921 with the youngH5288 manH5288, evenH853 with AbsalomH53. And allH3605 the peopleH5971 heardH8085 when the kingH4428 gaveH6680 allH3605 the captainsH8269 chargeH5921 concerning AbsalomH53.
