2 Samuel 15:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ The king left with all his people following him. They stopped at the last house. ¹⁸ All the king’s servants passed by him. All the Kerethites and Pelethites, the king’s bodyguards, passed by him. All those from Gath, the 600 men who had followed him, passed by him.

¹⁹ The king spoke to Ittai, a man from Gath. He said, “Why are you also going with us? Turn back and stay with King Absalom. You are a foreigner. This is not your homeland.
