2 Samuel 11:25
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον Τάδε ἐρεῖς πρὸς Ἰωάβ Μὴ πονηρὸν ἔστω ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, ὅτι ποτὲ μὲν οὕτως καὶ ποτὲ οὕτως φάγεται ἡ μαχαιρα· κραταίωσον τὸν πολεμόν σου πρὸς τὴν πόλιν καὶ κατάσπασον αὐτήν· καὶ κραταίωσον αὐτόν.
Then David told the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Do not let this matter upset you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen your attack against the city and demolish it.’ Encourage him with these words.”
