Yet the king is only one man! If he tells them to kill, they kill. If he tells them to set someone free, they set someone free.
And yet he is only one man! If he tells them to kill, they kill; if he tells them to release, they release;
And yet he is only one man! If he tells them to kill, they kill; if he tells them to release, they release;
And yet he is only one man! If he tells them to kill, they kill; if he tells them to release, they release;
And (yet) he is (but) one (man) alone; and if he bid to slay, they slay; and if he bid them to forgive, they forgive; [And he one alone; and if he say to slay, they slay; and if he say to forgive, they forgive;]
