Rescripsit autem eis litteras secundo, dicens: Si mei estis, et obeditis mihi, tollite capita filiorum domini vestri, et venite ad me hac eadem hora cras in Jezrahel. Porro filii regis, septuaginta viri, apud optimates civitates nutriebantur.
And he wrote letters the second time to them, saying: If you be mine, and will obey me, take the heads of the sons of your master, and come to me to Jezrahel by tomorrow at this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy men, were brought up with the chief men of the city.
Rescribe autem ad illos litteras secundo, dicente: si meo es, et obedi ad me, tolle capites de filios de domino vestro, et veni ad me hoc idem hora cras in Iezrahele. Porro de filio de rege, septuaginta viros, apud optimates civitates nutri.
