1 DAVID pues revistó el pueblo que tenía consigo, y puso sobre ellos tribunos y centuriones.
2 Y consignó la tercera parte del pueblo al mando de Joab, y [otra] tercera al mando de Abisai, hijo de Sarvia, hermano de Joab, y la otra tercera parte al mando de Ittai Getheo. Y dijo el rey al pueblo: Yo también saldré con vosotros.
3 Mas el pueblo dijo: No saldrás; porque si nosotros huyéremos, no harán caso de nosotros; y aunque la mitad de nosotros muera, no harán caso de nosotros: mas tú ahora vales tanto como diez mil de nosotros. Será pues mejor que tú nos des ayuda desde la ciudad.
4 Entonces el rey les dijo: Yo haré lo que bien os pareciere. Y púsose el rey á la entrada de la puerta, mientras salía todo el pueblo de ciento en ciento y de mil en mil.
