17 E il re disse a’ sergenti che gli stavano d’intorno: Volgetevi, ed uccidete i sacerdoti del Signore; perciocchè anch’essi tengono mano con Davide; ed avendo saputo ch’egli fuggiva, non me l’hanno fatto sapere. Ma i servitori del re non vollero metter le mani ad avventarsi sopra i sacerdoti del Signore.
17
Then the king ordered the guards at his side: “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too have sided with David. They knew he was fleeing, yet they did not tell me.” But the king’s officials were unwilling to raise a hand to strike the priests of the LORD.
