2 Samuel 15:20-22
New English Translation

20 It seems as if you arrived just yesterday. Today should I make you wander around by going with us? I go where I must go. But as for you, go back and take your men[a] with you. May genuine loyal love[b] protect[c] you!”

21 But Ittai replied to the king, “As surely as the Lord lives and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king is, whether it means death or life, there I[d] will be as well!” 22 So David said to Ittai, “Come along then.”[e] So Ittai the Gittite went along,[f] accompanied by all his men and all the dependents[g] who were with him.
