15. And the king's servants said to him: Whatsoever our lord the king shall command, we thy servants will willingly execute.
16. And the king went forth, and all his household on foot: and the king left ten women his concubines to keep the house:
17. And the king going forth and all Israel on foot, stood afar off from the house:
18. And all his servants walked by him, and the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi, and all the Gethites, valiant warriors, six hundred men who had followed him from Geth on foot, went before the king.
19. And the king said to Ethai the Gethite: Why comest thou with us? return and dwell with the king, for thou art a stranger, and art come out of thy own place.
20. Yesterday thou camest, and to day shalt thou be forced to go forth with us? but I shall go whither I am going: return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee, and the Lord will shew thee mercy, and truth, because thou hast shewn grace and fidelity.
