David went out to meet them, and answered them, If you be come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you; but if [you be come] to betray me to my adversaries, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.

And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.

And David went out to their faces, and he answered and said to them: “If you have come to me in peace, to help me, a heart will be to me toward you for unity. But if to betray me to my adversaries, with no violence in my palms, may the God of our fathers see and judge.”
