And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 22 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.

David sprach zu Itthai: So komm und gehe mit. Also ging Itthai, der Gathiter, und alle seine Männer und der ganze Haufe Kinder, die mit ihm waren.
Entonces David dijo a Ittai: Ven pues, y pasa. Y pasó Ittai Getheo, y todos sus hombres, y toda su familia.
David dit alors à Ittaï: Va, passe! Et Ittaï de Gath passa, avec tous ses gens et tous les enfants qui étaient avec lui.
Davide adunque disse ad Ittai: Va’, passa oltre. Così Ittai Ghitteo passò oltre con tutta la sua gente, e tutti i fanciulli ch’egli avea seco.
Então Davi disse a Itai: Vem, pois, e passa adiante. Assim passou Itai, o giteu, e todos os seus homens, e todas as crianças que havia com ele.
