14 And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Come, let us go in flight, or not one of us will be safe from Absalom: let us go without loss of time, or he will overtake us quickly and send evil on us, and put the town to the sword.
15 And the king's servants said to the king, See, your servants are ready to do whatever the king says is to be done.
16 So the king went out, taking with him all the people of his house, but for ten of his women, who were to take care of the house.
17 And the king went out, and all his servants went after him, and made a stop at the Far House.
18 And all the people went on by his side; and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the men of Ittai of Gath, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, went on before the king.
