Deuteronomy 20:4 KJV

For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

Thou and Ye

  • your, you more than one

In the King James Bible, thee, thou, thy, and thine always mean one person, and ye, you, and your more than one: a difference modern English lost. Why keep these words?
