“March on,” David replied to Ittai. So Ittai the Gittite marched past with all his men and the children who were with him.

Everyone in the countryside was weeping loudly while all the people were marching past. As the king was crossing the Kidron Valley, all the people were marching past on the road that leads to the desert.

Zadok was also there, and all the Levites with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. They set the ark of God down, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until the people had finished marching past.

Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, where a servant girl would come and pass along information to them. They in turn would go and inform King David, because they dared not be seen entering the city.

Why have You broken down its walls

But now, I will groan like a woman in labor,
gasping breathlessly.

and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not overwhelm you.
You will not be scorched
when you walk through the fire,

Wake up as in days past,

Wasn’t it You who hacked Rahab to pieces,
who pierced the sea monster?

Wasn’t it You who dried up the sea,
the waters of the great deep,

for the redeemed to pass over?

In all their suffering, He suffered,
and the Angel of His Presence saved them.
He redeemed them
because of His love and compassion;
He lifted them up and carried them
all the days of the past.

Then He remembered the days of the past,
the days of Moses and his people.
Where is He who brought them out of the sea
with the shepherds of His flock?
Where is He who put His Holy Spirit among the flock?

“For I will create a new heaven and a new earth;
