YLT(i)
19 And the king saith unto Ittai the Gittite, `Why dost thou go—thou also—with us? turn back—and abide with the king, for thou art a stranger, and also an exile thou—to thy place.
20 Yesterday is thy coming in, and to-day I move thee to go with us, and I am going on that which I am going! —turn back, and take back thy brethren with thee, —kindness and truth.'
21 And Ittai answereth the king and saith, `Jehovah liveth, and my lord the king liveth, surely in the place where my lord the king is—if for death, if for life, surely there is thy servant.'
22 And David saith unto Ittai, `Go and pass over;' and Ittai the Gittite passeth over, and all his men, and all the infants who are with him.
