2 Samuel 15:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ All the king’s servants passed by him—the Kerethites and Pelethites,^[a] all those from Gath, and the six hundred men who had followed him.

¹⁹ The king said to Ittai, a man from Gath, “Why are you also going with us? Turn back and stay with King Absalom because you are a foreigner. This is not your homeland. ²⁰ You joined me only a short time ago. Should I make you wander with us when I don’t even know where I’m going? Turn back and take your brothers with you. May kindness and loyalty be shown to you.”
