In context — 2 Samuel 18:3
But the people said, “You shall not go out, for if we flee or are made to flee, they will not set their hearts upon us; even if half of us die, they will not set their hearts upon us. For now you are like ten thousand of us, so it is better that you give help to us from the city.”
