¹⁷and David goeth out before them, and answereth and saith to them, `If for peace ye have come in unto me, to help me, I have a heart to unite with you; and if to betray me to mine adversaries — without violence in my hands — the God of our fathers doth see and reprove.`

¹⁸Ipapo mweya wakauya pamusuro paAmasai aiva mukuru wavana makumi matatu, akati, Tiri vanhu venyu, Dhavhidhi, tiri kurutivi rwenyu, mwanakomana waJese!
