And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the strong hold to David.
17 Egressusque est David obviam eis, et ait: Si pacifice venistis ad me ut auxiliemini mihi, cor meum iungatur vobis: si autem insidiamini mihi pro adversariis meis, cum ego iniquitatem in manibus non habeam, videat Deus patrum nostrorum, et iudicet.
And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, If ye have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you: but if ye have come to betray me to my enemies, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look on it, and rebuke it.
18 Spiritus vero induit Amasai principem inter triginta, et ait: Tui sumus o David, et tecum fili Isai: pax, pax tibi, et pax adiutoribus tuis. te enim adiuvat Deus tuus. Suscepit ergo eos David, et constituit principes turmæ.
