And Ethai answered the king, saying: As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth: in what place soever thou shalt be, my lord, O king, either in death, or in life, there will thy servant be.
And they all wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king also himself went over the brook Cedron: and all the people marched towards the way that looketh to the desert.
