Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.

So now send the news quickly to David, and say, Do not take your night's rest by the way across the river to the waste land, but be certain to go over; or the king and all the people with him will come to destruction.

τωρα λοιπον αποστειλατε ταχεως και αναγγειλατε προς τον Δαβιδ, λεγοντες, Μη μεινης την νυκτα ταυτην εν ταις πεδιασι της ερημου, αλλα σπευσον να διαπερασης, δια να μη καταποθη ο βασιλευς και πας ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου.

Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
