14. And David saith to all his servants who [are] with him in Jerusalem, `Rise, and we flee, for we have no escape from the face of Absalom; haste to go, lest he hasten, and have overtaken us, and forced on us evil, and smitten the city by themouth of the sword.'
15. And the servants of the king say unto the king, `According to all that my lord the king chooseth--lo, thy servants [do].'
16. And the king goeth out, and all his household at his feet, and the king leaveth ten women--concubines--to keep the house.
17. And the king goeth out, and all the people at his feet, and they stand still at the farthest off house.
18. And all his servants are passing on at his side, and all the Cherethite, and all the Pelethite, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came at his feet from Gath, are passing on at the front of the king.
