And Joab said unto the king, Now Jehovah thy God add unto the people, how many soever they may be, a hundredfold; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?

And Joab said to the king, Whatever the number of the people, may the Lord make it a hundred times as much, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king take pleasure in doing this thing?

Και ειπεν ο Ιωαβ προς τον βασιλεα, Ειθε Κυριος ο Θεος σου να προσθεση εις τον λαον εκατονταπλασιον αφ' ο, τι ειναι, και να ιδωσιν οι οφθαλμοι του κυριου μου του βασιλεως· πλην δια τι ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς επιθυμει το πραγμα τουτο;

And Joab said unto the king, Now the Lord thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
