Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them are fallen at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.

But he will certainly have taken cover now in some hole or secret place; and if some of our people, at the first attack, are overcome, then any hearing of it will say, There is destruction among the people who are on Absalom's side.

ιδου, τωρα ειναι κεκρυμμενος εν λακκω τινι η εν αλλω τινι τοπω· και εαν πεσωσι τινες εξ αυτων εις την αρχην, πας οστις ακουση θελει ειπει, θραυσις εγεινεν εις τον λαον, τον ακολουθουντα τον Αβεσσαλωμ·

Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
