2 Samuel 18:3
Konteks18:3 But the soldiers replied, 1 “You should not do this! 2 For if we should have to make a rapid retreat, they won’t be too concerned about us. 3 Even if half of us should die, they won’t be too concerned about us. But you 4 are like ten thousand of us! So it is better if you remain in the city for support.”
2 Samuel 19:35
Konteks19:35 I am presently eighty years old. Am I able to discern good and bad? Can I 5 taste what I eat and drink? Am I still able to hear the voices of male and female singers? Why should I 6 continue to be a burden to my lord the king?
