And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king; and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.

And when the king went by, crying out to him he said, Your servant went out into the fight; and a man came out to me with another man and said, Keep this man: if by any chance he gets away, your life will be the price of his life, or you will have to give a talent of silver in payment.

Και ως διεβαινεν ο βασιλευς αυτος εβοησε προς τον βασιλεα, και ειπεν, Ο δουλος σου εξηλθεν εις το μεσον της μαχης· και ιδου, ανθρωπος στραφεις κατα μερος εφερε τινα προς εμε, και ειπε, Φυλαττε τον ανθρωπον τουτον· εαν ποτε φυγη, τοτε η ζωη σου θελει εισθαι αντι της ζωης αυτου, η θελεις πληρωσει εν ταλαντον αργυριου·
