Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 19 is found in chapter 15 of 2 Samuel. David asks Ittai the Gittite to return, arguing that he has no obligation to share the king’s uncertain fate. Ittai responds by declaring his loyalty and accompanying David. As the procession leaves Jerusalem, the people weep. The scene contrasts the betrayal of many Israelites with the loyalty of a foreigner. It also shows David stripped of the outward signs of power, moving as a vulnerable king who depends on the loyalty of his companions.
