Egli stava ancora parlando, quand'ecco arrivò Ionatan, figlio del sacerdote Abiatar; e Adonia disse: «Entra, poiché tu sei un uomo valente e porterai buone notizie»
II Samuel
Dovid numbered the people that were with him and appointed over them officers [to lead] thousands and officers [to lead] hundreds.
II Samuel
Dovid sent the people forth, a third under the hand of Yoav, a third under the hand of Avishai, the son of Tsruyoh, Yoav's brother and a third by the hand of Itai, the Gitite. The king said to the people, "I will also go out with you."
II Samuel
The people said [in reply], "Do not go out [with us] because if we flee they will not pay us any attention and if they kill half of us they will not pay us any attention because now [you are worth] ten thousand of us. And now, it will be better if you help us from the city."
