And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land from Absalom.
And al þe puple stryuede in al þe lynagis of Israel, and seide, Þe kyng delyuerede vs fro þe hond of alle oure enemyes, and he sauide vs fro þe hond of Filisteis; and now he fleeth fro þe lond for Absolon.
