kjv - 2Samuel:18:1-3

kjv@2Samuel:18:1 @ And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.

kjv@2Samuel:18:2 @ 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.

kjv@2Samuel:18:3 @ 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.
