19. Formal Translation And from Manasseh some fell to David when he came with the Philistines against Saul for the battle; but they did not help them, because the Philistine rulers sent him away by counsel, saying, “He will fall to his master Saul, and it will be on our heads.” |
19. Dynamic Translation Some from Manasseh joined David when he went with the Philistines to fight Saul, but they did not assist them, because the Philistine leaders, after counsel, dismissed him, saying, “He will turn back to his master Saul, and it will cost us dearly.” |
