2 Samuel 18:1-4

18:1

And David
<01732>

numbered
<06485> (8799)

the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, and set
<07760> (8799)

captains
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>

and captains
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>

over them.

18:2

And David
<01732>

sent forth
<07971> (8762)

a third part
<07992>

of the people
<05971>

under the hand
<03027>

of Joab
<03097>_,

and a third part
<07992>

under the hand
<03027>

of Abishai
<052>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>_,

Joab's
<03097>

brother
<0251>_,

and a third part
<07992>

under the hand
<03027>

of Ittai
<0863>

the Gittite
<01663>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the people
<05971>_,

I will surely
<03318> (8800)

go forth
<03318> (8799)

with you myself
<0589>

also.

18:3

But the people
<05971>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt not go forth
<03318> (8799)_:

for if we flee
<05127> (8799)

away
<05127> (8800)_,

they will not care
<07760> (8799) <03820>

for us; neither if half
<02677>

of us die
<04191> (8799)_,

will they care
<07760> (8799) <03820>

for us: but now [thou art] worth
<03644>

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

of us: therefore now [it is] better
<02896>

that thou succour
<05826> (8800) (8675) <05826> (8687)

us out of the city
<05892>_.

{care...: Heb. set their heart on us} {worth...: Heb. as ten thousand of us} {succour: Heb. be to succour or help}

18:4

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What seemeth
<05869>

you best
<03190> (8799)

I will do
<06213> (8799)_.

And the king
<04428>

stood
<05975> (8799)

by the gate
<08179>

side
<03027>_,

and all the people
<05971>

came out
<03318> (8804)

by hundreds
<03967>

and by thousands
<0505>_.
