2 Samuel 20:6Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 versionAnd David said to Abisai: Now will Seba the son of Bochri do us more harm than did Absalom. Take thou therefore the servants of thy lord, and pursue after him, lest he find fenced cities, and escape us. See the chapter |
And Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth. And shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul I will not do this thing.
Now therefore arise, and go out, and speak to the satisfaction of thy servants: for I swear to thee by the Lord, that if thou wilt not go forth there will not tarry with thee so much as one this night. And that will be worse to thee, than all the evils that have befallen thee from thy youth until now.
