Parallel
2 Samuel 18:3
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
καὶ εἶπαν Οὐκ ἐξελεύςῃ, ὅτι ἐὰν φυγῇ φύγωμεν, οὐ θήσουσιν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καρδίαν, καὶ ἐὰν ἀποθάνωμεν τὸ ἥμισυ ἡμῶν, οὐ θήσουσιν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καρδίαν, ὅτι σὺ ὡς ἡμεὶς δέκα χιλιάδες· καὶ νῦν ἀγαθὸν ὅτι ἐσῃ ἡμῖν ἐν τῇ πόλει βοήθεια τοῦ βονθεῖν.
But the people pleaded, “You must not go out! For if we have to flee, they will not care about us. Even if half of us die, they will not care. But you are worth ten thousand of us (note: Two Hebrew manuscripts, some LXX manuscripts, and Vulgate; most Hebrew manuscripts care; for now there are ten thousand like us). It is better now if you support us from the city.”
