15. And the king’s servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall choose.
16. And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, that were concubines, to keep the house.
17. And the king went forth, and all the people after him; and they tarried in Beth-merhak.
18. And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men that came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
