And Joab said, Jehovah make his people a hundred times as many as they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel?

And Joab said, May the Lord make his people a hundred times more in number than they are; but, my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants? why would my lord have this done? why will he become a cause of sin to Israel?

Ο δε Ιωαβ απεκριθη, Ο Κυριος να προσθεση επι τον λαον αυτου εκατονταπλασιον αφ' ο, τι ειναι αλλα, κυριε μου βασιλευ, δεν ειναι παντες δουλοι του κυριου μου; δια τι ο κυριος μου επιθυμει τουτο; δια τι να γεινη τουτο αμαρτημα εις τον Ισραηλ;

And Joab answered, The Lord make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
