Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.

So he said to the representatives of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, All the orders you sent the first time I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the representatives went back with this answer.

Ειπε λοιπον προς τους μηνυτας του Βεν-αδαδ, Ειπατε προς τον κυριον μου τον βασιλεα, Παντα οσα εμηνυσας προς τον δουλον σου κατ' αρχας, θελω καμει τουτο ομως το πραγμα δεν δυναμαι να καμω. Και οι μηνυται ανεχωρησαν και εφεραν προς αυτον την αποκρισιν.
