And the messenger said unto David, The men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entrance of the gate.

And the man said to David, Truly the men got the better of us, and came out against us into the open country, but we sent them back to the very doors of the town.

Και ειπεν ο μηνυτης προς τον Δαβιδ, οτι υπερισχυσαν καθ' ημων οι ανδρες και εξηλθον προς ημας εις την πεδιαδα, και κατεδιωξαμεν αυτους μεχρι της εισοδου της πυλης·

And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.
