In context — 2 Samuel 18:2
And David sent out the people who were with him, dividing them into thirds: a third under the hand of Joab, a third under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and a third under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. Then the king said to the people, “I myself will surely go out with you.”
