2 Samuel 18:3
But the people said, “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.”2 Samuel 18:3 · WEB

- પણ સૈનિકોએ કહ્યું, “તમારે યુદ્ધમાં આવવું નહિ, કેમ કે જો અમે નાસી જઈશું તોપણ તેઓ અમારી પરવા કરશે નહિ, જો અમારામાંથી અડધા લોકો મરી જાય તોપણ માણસોને અમારી દરકાર રહેશે. પણ તમે અમારા માટે દસ હજાર માણસોની ગરજ સારે એવા છો . એ માટે તમે અહીં નગરમાં રહીને અમને મદદ કરવા તૈયાર રહો એ વધારે સારું છે”
- हिन्दी — 2 शमूएल १८:३
- लोगों ने कहा, “तू जाने न पाएगा। क्योंकि चाहे हम भाग जाएँ, तो भी वे हमारी चिन्ता न करेंगे; वरन् चाहे हम में से आधे मारे भी जाएँ, तो भी वे हमारी चिन्ता न करेंगे। परन्तु तू हमारे जैसे दस हजार पुरुषों के बराबर हैं; इसलिए अच्छा यह है कि तू नगर में से हमारी सहायता करने को तैयार रहे।”

2David sent 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 said to the people, “I will also surely go out with you myself.”
3But the people said, “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.”
4The king said to them, “I will do what seems best to you.” The king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.
5The king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom.” All the people heard when the king commanded all the captains concerning Absalom.
