Therefore David went forth, he and six hundred men that were with him, and they came unto the strand [or stream] of Besor; and there the weary men of the host of David abode behind.
And all his servants went beside him, and the legions of Cherethites and of Pelethites, and all the strong fighting men of Gath, six hundred men, that pursued [or followed] him from Gath, went on foot before the king.
Forsooth David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred abided behind, that were weary, and might not pass [over] the strand [or stream] of Besor.
