Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king, Is this dead dog to go on cursing my lord the king? let me go over and take off his head.

Τοτε ειπε προς τον βασιλεα Αβισαι ο υιος της Σερουιας, Δια τι ουτος ο νεκρος κυων καταραται τον κυριον μου τον βασιλεα; αφες, παρακαλω, να περασω και να κοψω την κεφαλην αυτου.

Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
