David sends the people out under Joab, Abishai and Ittai, and charges them to deal gently with the young man Absalom

다윗이 백성을 요압과 아비새와 잇대의 수하에 붙여 내어 보내고 소년 압살롬을 너그러이 대접하라고 명함

2 Samuel 18:1–5: David counts the people who are with him, and sets captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them. David sends the people out, a third part under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. The king says to the people, “I will also surely go out with you myself.” But the people say, “You shall not go out, for if we flee away, they will not care for us, neither if half of us die, will they care for us. But you are worth ten thousand of us. Therefore now it is better that you are ready to help us out of the city.” The king says to them, “I will do what seems best to you.” The king stands beside the gate, and all the people go out by hundreds and by thousands. The king commands Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom.” All the people hear when the king commands all the captains concerning Absalom.
