ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૨૦:૧૯
જેઓ ઇઝરાયલમાં વિશ્વાસુ અને શાંતિપ્રિય છે તેવા માણસોમાંની હું પણ એક છું. તું ઇઝરાયલના એક નગરનો અને માતાનો નાશ કરવાનો પ્રયત્ન કરી રહ્યો છે. શા માટે તું ઈશ્વરના વારસાને ગળી જવા ઇચ્છે છે?”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल २०:१९
मैं तो मेल मिलापवाले और विश्वासयोग्य इस्राएलियों में से हूँ; परन्तु तू एक प्रधान नगर नष्ट करने का यत्न करता है; तू यहोवा के भाग को क्यों निगल जाएगा?”

20Joab answered, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

21The matter is not so. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Just deliver him, and I will depart from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
