Og Herren skal la hans blod komme over hans eget hode, fordi han drepte to menn som var rettferdigere og bedre enn ham, med sverdet, uten at min far David visste det, nemlig Abner, Ners sønn, hærføreren over Israel, og Amasa, Jeters sønn, hærføreren over Juda.
And Jehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not, `to wit', Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
