Et dixit David ad nuntium: Hæc dices Joab: Non te frangat ista res: varius enim eventus est belli, nunc hunc, et nunc illum consumit gladius: conforta bellatores tuos adversus urbem ut destruas eam, et exhortare eos.
And David said to the messenger: Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing discourage thee: for various is the event of war: and sometimes one, sometimes another is consumed by the sword: encourage thy warriors against the city, and exhort them that thou mayest overthrow it.
Et Davide dic ad nuntio: hoc dic Ioabe: non isto re frange te: varia nam eventu es de bello, nunc hoc, et nunc illo consume gladio: confora bellatores tuo contra urbe ut destrue illa, et exhorta illos.
