Absalom’s Defeat

18 David reviewed his troops and appointed commanders of hundreds and of thousands over them. ² He then sent out the troops, a third under Joab, a third under Joab’s brother Abishai son of Zeruiah, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. The king said to the troops, “I will also march out with you.”
