他便對王說：『永恆主這麼說：「因為你將我要殺滅歸神的人從你手中放走，故此你的性命就必須代替他的性命，你的人民就必須代替他的人民。」』

他对王说：“耶和华如此说：‘因你将我定要灭绝的人放去，你的命就必代替他的命，你的民也必代替他的民。’”

他对王说：“耶和华如此说：‘因你把我决定要消灭的人从你手中放走，所以你的命必代替他的命，你的百姓必代替他的百姓。’”

他对王说：“耶和华如此说：‘因你把我决定要消灭的人从你手中放走，所以你的命必代替他的命，你的百姓必代替他的百姓。’”

他对王说：“耶和华说，‘你放走了我决定要毁灭的人，所以你的命要抵他的命，你百姓的命要抵他百姓的命。’”

先知对王说：“耶和华这样说：因为你把我要灭绝的人从你手中放走，所以要你替他偿命。要你的人民抵偿他的人民。”

他對王說：「耶和華如此說：『因你將我定要滅絕的人放去，你的命就必代替他的命，你的民也必代替他的民。』」

他對王說：「耶和華如此說：『因你把我決定要消滅的人從你手中放走，所以你的命必代替他的命，你的百姓必代替他的百姓。』」

他對王說：「耶和華如此說：『因你把我決定要消滅的人從你手中放走，所以你的命必代替他的命，你的百姓必代替他的百姓。』」

他對王說：「耶和華說，『你放走了我決定要毀滅的人，所以你的命要抵他的命，你百姓的命要抵他百姓的命。』」

先知對王說：“耶和華這樣說：因為你把我要滅絕的人從你手中放走，所以要你替他償命。要你的人民抵償他的人民。”

彼謂王曰、耶和華云、我定當滅之人、爾由爾手釋之、故必以爾命代其命、以爾民代其民、

先知之徒曰、耶和華云、我欲殲滅者、爾反釋之、故必以爾命償其命、以爾民代其民。

先知謂王曰、主如是云、我定為必滅者、或作我所擒獲者爾反釋之去、故必以爾命代其命、以爾民代其民、

He said to the king,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ You have set free a man I had determined should die. Therefore it is your life for his life, your people for his people.’”

He told the king,“ The Lord says,‘ You have set a man free. But I had said he should be set apart to the Lord in a special way to be destroyed. So you must pay for his life with yours. You must pay for his people’s lives with the lives of your people.’ ”

And he said to him,“ Thus says the Lord,‘ Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall be for his life, and your people for his people.’”

The prophet said to him,“ This is what the Lord says: Because you have spared the man I said must be destroyed, now you must die in his place, and your people will die instead of his people.”

The prophet said to him,“ This is what the LORD says:‘ Because you released from your hand the man I had set apart for destruction, it will be your life in place of his life and your people in place of his people.’”

And the prophet said to him,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ Since you have let go from your hand the man I had designated for destruction, your life shall be forfeited in place of his life, and your people in place of his people.’ ”

Then he said to him,“ Thus says the Lord:‘ Because you have let slip out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.’”

And he said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.

The prophet said to him,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ Because you released from your hand the man I had set apart for destruction, it will be your life in place of his life and your people in place of his people.’”

And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of[ thy] hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.

The prophet then said to him,“ This is what the LORD says,‘ Because you released a man I had determined should die, you will pay with your life and your people will suffer instead of his people.’”

He said to him,“ Yahweh says,‘ Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of his people.’”

先是亞蘭王吩咐他的三十二個戰車長說：『無論小將大將你們都不要跟他交戰，只要跟以色列王交戰。』戰車長們看見約沙法，便心裏說：『這必是以色列王。』就轉過去和他交戰；約沙法便喊叫起來。戰車長們見不是以色列王，便轉回去不追他。有一個人隨便拉一拉弓，恰巧射進了以色列王胸甲聯接塊與鎧甲之間；王對趕車的說：『你轉過車手來、拉我吧；我受了傷了。』那一天戰事越來越猛烈；有人扶着王站在車上、正和亞蘭人相對着；晚上王就死了；傷處的血流到車腹中。約當日落的時候、有號令傳遍軍營中、說：『各歸本城，各歸本地去吧！』王既死了，人將他送到撒瑪利亞，將王埋葬在撒瑪利亞。

王從那裏經過，他向王哀叫說：『僕人出戰在戰陣之中、忽有人轉來，帶了一個人來交給我、說：「你看守這人；倘若遺失不見了，就要將你的性命去代替他的性命；不然，你就必須交出一擔銀子來。」

哈薛說：『我主為甚麼哭呢？』他回答說：『因為我知道你對以色列人所要施的苦害；他們的堡壘你必放火燒，他們的壯丁你必用刀殺戮，他們的嬰孩你必摔死，他們的孕婦你必剖開。』

有一個人隨便拉一拉弓，恰巧射進了以色列王胸甲聯接塊與鎧甲之間；王對趕車的說：『你轉過車手來、拉我出陣吧；我受了傷了。』那一天戰事越來越猛烈；以色列王被支撐地站在車上、和亞蘭人相對着、到晚上；日落時候王就死了。

此後亞蘭王便哈達集合了他所有的軍兵，上來圍困撒瑪利亞。

便哈達對王說：『我父親從你父親所奪取的城市我都要歸還；你可以在大馬色立街市，像我父親在撒瑪利亞立街市一樣。』亞哈說：『我就憑這個約放你走。』便和他立約，放他走。

掃羅和眾民顧惜亞甲，也顧惜最好的羊、牛、就是那肥美的、又顧惜羊羔、以及一切美物，不情願盡行毁滅歸神；只有人所賤視鄙棄的一切羣畜、他們才殺滅歸神。永恆主的話傳與撒母耳說：『我設立掃羅為王、我後悔了，因為他退轉而不跟從我，不實行我吩咐的話。』撒母耳很着急，終夜向永恆主哀呼。
