Formal Translation And it came to pass as the king passed by that he cried out to the king and said, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and behold a man turned aside and brought another to me, saying, ‘Guard this man; if he is missing, your life shall be in place of his, or you shall weigh out a talent of silver.’” |

Dynamic Translation As the king went by, someone shouted to him, “Your servant entered into the thick of the fighting, and suddenly a man turned up and brought me another, saying, ‘Watch this man; if he disappears, you will pay with your own life in his place, or you must pay a talent of silver.’” |
