2 Samuel 19:7
2 Samuel 19:7 New Century Version (NCV)
Now go out and encourage your servants. I swear by the LORD that if you don’t go out, no man will be left with you by tonight! That will be worse than all the troubles you have had from your youth until today.”
2 Samuel 19:5-7 The Message (MSG)
But in private Joab rebuked the king: “Now you’ve done it—knocked the wind out of your loyal servants who have just saved your life, to say nothing of the lives of your sons and daughters, wives and concubines. What is this—loving those who hate you and hating those who love you? Your actions give a clear message: officers and soldiers mean nothing to you. You know that if Absalom were alive right now, we’d all be dead—would that make you happy? Get hold of yourself; get out there and put some heart into your servants! I swear to GOD that if you don’t go to them they’ll desert; not a soldier will be left here by nightfall. And that will be the worst thing that has happened yet.”
2 Samuel 19:7 King James Version (KJV)
Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now.
