And some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to David in his strong place.
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 them, and said to them, If you have come in peace to give me help, my heart will be united with yours; but if you have come to give me up to those who would take my life, though my hands are clean from wrongdoing, then may the God of our fathers see it and give you punishment.
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 turmae.
