2 Samuel 15:20-22

Contemporary English Version

²⁰ You haven't been with me very long, so why should you have to follow me, when I don't even know where I'm going? Take your soldiers and go back. I pray that the Lord will be^[a] kind and faithful to you.”

²¹ Ittai answered, “Your Majesty, just as surely as you and the Lord live, I will go where you go, no matter if it costs me my life.”

²² “Then come on!” David said.

So Ittai and all his men and their families walked on past David.
