2 David put a third of the troops under Joab's command, another third under Joab's brother Abishai (Zeruiah's son), and the last third under Ittai from Gath. |I am going [into battle] with you,| the king said to the troops. 3 |You're not going [with us],| the troops said. |If we flee, they won't care about us, and if half of us die, they won't care either. But you're worth 10,000 of us. It's better for you to be ready to send us help from the city.| 2 Samuel 18:2-3, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
