2 Samuel 15:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ So the king with his household, all the people loyal to David in Jerusalem, left. David left behind 10 royal concubines, members of his harem, and he gave them responsibility over the palace. ¹⁷ The king’s entourage stopped at the last house on the edge of the city. ¹⁸ Then all those who served him, the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and the 600 Gittites who had followed David since he had been exiled in the Philistine city of Gath, went ahead.
