Rotherham(i)
5 Then came Joab unto the king, in the house,––and said––Thou hast, today, covered with shame the faces of all thy servants, who have rescued thy life today, and the lives of thy sons and thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;
6 by loving them who hated thee, and hating them who loved thee,––for thou hast declared, today, that, nothing to thee, are princes or servants, for I perceive, today, that, if, Absolom, had lived, and, all we, today had died, that, then, it had been right in thine eyes.
7 Now, therefore, rise––go forth, and speak unto the heart of thy servants,––for, by Yahweh, have I sworn, that, if thou do not go forth, not a man shall tarry with thee to–night, and this will be to thee, a greater misfortune, than all the misfortune that hath come upon thee from thy youth until now.
