2 Samuel 18:2

---

← 2 Samuel 18:1	2 Samuel 18:2 (KJV)	2 Samuel 18:3 →
And David numbered the people that [were] with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.	And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.	But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now [thou art] worth ten thousand of us: therefore now [it is] better that thou succour us out of the city.
