And Jehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not, 'to wit', Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
And þe Lord yelde on his heed his blood, for he killide twei iust men, and betere than hym silf, and he killide hem bi swerd, while Dauid, my fadir, wiste not, Abner, þe sone of Ner, þe prince of þe chyualrie of Israel, and Amasa, sone of Jeþer, þe prince of þe oost of Juda.
