ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૦:૬
જો તારો પિતા મને યાદ કરે તો તું કહેજે કે, દાઉદે પોતાના નગર બેથલેહેમમાં ઉતાવળે જઈ આવવાને આગ્રહથી મારી પાસે રજા માગી; કેમ કે ત્યાં આખા કુટુંબને માટે વાર્ષિક યજ્ઞ છે.’
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २०:६
यदि तेरा पिता मेरी कुछ चिन्ता करे, तो कहना, ‘दाऊद ने अपने नगर बैतलहम को शीघ्र जाने के लिये मुझसे विनती करके छुट्टी माँगी है; क्योंकि वहाँ उसके समस्त कुल के लिये वार्षिक यज्ञ है।’
