2 SAMUEL 18:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city.”
But the men said to him, You shall not go out — for if we flee, they will not care about us; and if half of us die, they will not care about us; but you are worth ten thousand of us — therefore it is better that you send us help from the city — David's commanders argue that his personal safety outweighs his presence in battle. Their logic is practical: if David is captured or killed, the entire cause fails. His value exceeds that of ten thousand soldiers. They convince David to remain in the city and direct the battle from there.
