Habitatores autem Gabaon urbis obsessæ miserunt ad Josue, qui tunc morabatur in castris apud Galgalam, et dixerunt ei: Ne retrahas manus tuas ab auxilio servorum tuorum: ascende cito, et libera nos, ferque præsidium: convenerunt enim adversum nos omnes reges Amorrhæorum, qui habitant in montanis.
But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon, which was besieged, sent to Joshua, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly, and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us.
Habitatores autem Gabaone de urbe obsissa mitte ad Ioso, qui tunc moror in castros apud Galgalase, et dic ad illo: ne retrahe manus tuo ab auxilio de servos tuo: ascende cito, et libro nos, et fer praesidio: conveni nam contra nos omni reges de Amorrhaeis, qui habita in montano.
