26. Formal Translation And to Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your fields, for you are a man deserving of death; but on this day I will not put you to death, because you carried the ark of the Lord GOD {Adonai Yahweh, Covenant Lord} before my father David, and because you suffered in all that my father suffered.” |
26. Dynamic Translation The king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth—you deserve to die, but today I will spare you. You carried the ark of the Lord GOD {Adonai Yahweh, Merciful Sovereign} before my father David, and you suffered all my father’s hardships.” |
