Should I make you wander around with me when I do not even know where I am going? Go back and take your countrymen with you. May Jehovah always show you kindness. Ittai answered: Your Majesty, I swear to you in the name of Jehovah that I will always go with you wherever you go, even if it means death. David answered: That is fine. March on! So Ittai went on with all his men and their dependents. The people cried loudly as David's followers left. The king crossed Kidron Brook. His men followed him. They went to the wilderness.
