Et respondit Absalom ad Joab: Misi ad te obsecrans ut venires ad me, et mitterem te ad regem, et diceres ei: Quare veni de Gessur? melius mihi erat ibi esse: obsecro ergo ut videam faciem regis: quod si memor est iniquitatis meæ, interficiat me.
And Absalom answered Joab: I sent to thee beseeching thee to come to me, that I might send thee to the king, to say to him: Wherefore am I come from Gessur? it had been better for me to be there: I beseech thee therefore that I may see the face of the king: and if he be mindful of my iniquity, let him kill me.
Et Absalom responde ad Ioabe: mitte ad te obsecra ut veni ad me, et mitte te ad rege, et dic ad illo: quare veni de Gessure? Bene ad me es ibi es: obsecra ergo ut vide facie de rege: quod si memore es de iniquitate meo, interfice me.
