2 Samuel 18:2-3 And David sent forth the people, a third part 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 to the people, I will surely go forth with you* myself also.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And David sent forth the people, a third part 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 to the people, I will surely go forth with you* myself also.
³ But the people said, You will 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 you are worth ten thousand of us. Therefore now it is better that you are ready to help us out of the city.
