Ittai the Gittite answers the king, “As the LORD lives”, and the king passes over the brook Kidron

가드 사람 잇대가 왕께 맹세하고 왕이 기드론 시내를 건너감

2 Samuel 15:19–23: then the king says to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner and also an exile. Return to your own place. Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.” Ittai answers the king and says, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.” David says to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passes over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him. All the country weeps with a loud voice, and all the people pass over. The king also himself passes over the brook Kidron, and all the people pass over toward the way of the wilderness.
