Και ειπεν η γυνη, Και δια τι εστοχασθης τοιουτον πραγμα κατα του λαου του Θεου; διοτι ο βασιλευς λαλει τουτο ως ανθρωπος ενοχος, επειδη ο βασιλευς δεν στελλει να επαναφερη τον εξοριστον αυτου.

And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished.
