And the king said unto the guard that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of Jehovah; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of Jehovah.

Then the king said to the runners who were waiting near him, Put the priests of the Lord to death; because they are on David's side, and having knowledge of his flight, did not give me word of it. But the king's servants would not put out their hands to make an attack on the Lord's priests.

Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς τους δορυφορους τους περιεστωτας εις αυτον, Στρεψατε και θανατωσατε τους ιερεις του Κυριου· επειδη εχουσι και αυτοι την χειρα αυτων μετα του Δαβιδ, και επειδη εγνωρισαν οτι αυτος εφευγε και δεν μοι απηγγειλαν τουτο. Δεν ηθελησαν ομως οι δουλοι του βασιλεως να εκτεινωσι τας χειρας αυτων δια να πεσωσιν επι τους ιερεις του Κυριου.

And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the Lord; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord.
