ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૭:૧૭
જે સરદારના હાથ પર રાજા અઢેલતો હતો, તેને નગરના દરવાજાની ચોકી કરવાનું કામ સોંપ્યું. જ્યારે રાજા ઊતરીને તેની પાસે નીચે આવ્યો ત્યારે ઈશ્વરભક્તના કહ્યા પ્રમાણે તે માણસ લોકોના પગ નીચે કચડાઈને મરણ પામ્યો.
हिन्दी2 राजाओं ७:१७
अब राजा ने उस सरदार को जिसके हाथ पर वह तकिया करता था फाटक का अधिकारी ठहराया; तब वह फाटक में लोगों के पाँवों के नीचे दबकर मर गया। यह परमेश्वर के भक्त के उस वचन के अनुसार हुआ जो उसने राजा से उसके यहाँ आने के समय कहा था।
