And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.

And say to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God's punishment be on me, if I do not make you chief of the army before me at all times in place of Joab!

προς τον Αμασα μαλιστα ειπατε, Δεν εισαι συ οστουν μου και σαρξ μου; ουτω να καμη ο Θεος εις εμε και ουτω να προσθεση, εαν δεν γεινης αρχιστρατηγος παντοτε εμπροσθεν μου αντι του Ιωαβ.

And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
