And Benaiah came to the Tent of Jehovah, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

And Benaiah came to the Tent of the Lord and said to him, The king says, Come out. And he said, No; but let death come to me here. And Benaiah went back to the king and gave him word of the answer which Joab had given.

Και ηλθεν ο Βεναιας εις την σκηνην του Κυριου και ειπε προς αυτον, ουτω λεγει ο βασιλευς· Εξελθε. Ο δε ειπεν, Ουχι, αλλ' ενταυθα θελω αποθανει. Και ανεφερεν ο Βεναιας αποκρισιν προς τον βασιλεα, λεγων, Ουτως ειπεν ο Ιωαβ και ουτω μοι απεκριθη.

And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
