Dixeruntque ei servi sui: Ecce, audivimus quod reges domus Israël clementes sint: ponamus itaque saccos in lumbis nostris, et funiculos in capitibus nostris, et egrediamur ad regem Israël: forsitan salvabit animas nostras.
And his servants said to him: Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful; so let us put sackcloths on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save our lives.
Et servos ad illo suo dic: ecce, audi quod reges domo Israële clemente es: pone itaque saccos in lumbos nostro, et funiculos in capites nostro, et egredior ad rege Israële: forsan salva animas nostro.
