ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૧૪:૩૦
જો આજે લોકોએ પોતાના શત્રુઓની પાસેથી મેળવેલી લૂંટમાંથી ભરપેટ ખાધું હોત, તો કેટલો વધારે ફાયદો થાત? કેમ કે તેથી તો હાલ પલિસ્તીઓમાં જે કતલ થઈ છે તેના કરતાં પણ ઘણી ભારે કતલ થઈ હોત.”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १४:३०
यदि आज लोग अपने शत्रुओं की लूट से जिसे उन्होंने पाया मनमाना खाते, तो कितना अच्छा होता; अभी तो बहुत अधिक पलिश्ती मारे नहीं गए।”

In context

28Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So the people were faint.

29Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.

30How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.”

31They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;

32and the people pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.
