¹³ David said to his men, “Each of you gird on his sword.” So each man girded on his sword. And David also girded on his sword, and about ^(A)four hundred men went up behind David while two hundred ^(B)stayed with the baggage.

⁹ So David went, ^(A)he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those left behind remained.
