2 Samuel 3:9
God so do to Abner, and more also, unless, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so I do to him:
God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Jehovah hath sworn to David, I do not even so to him;
May God do so to Abner, and more also, if I do not do for David just as the Lord has sworn to him,
May God do so to Abner, and more also, if I do not do for David what the Lord has sworn to him,
So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;
May God punish Abner and do so severely if I don’t do for David what the Lord swore to him:
May God deal harshly with me, Abner, and worse still if I don’t do for David exactly what the Lord swore to him—
May God bring terrible curses on Avner and worse ones yet if I don’t accomplish what Adonai swore to David —
I ask God to punish me if I don't help David get what the Lord promised him!
So do God to Abner, and more also, if, as Jehovah has sworn to David, I do not so to him;
So do God to Abner, and more also, unless as the Lord hath sworn to David, so I do to him,
The Lord promised with an oath that he would take the kingdom away from Saul’s family and give it to David. And I swear I will make sure that happens. God will make David king of Judah and Israel. He will rule from Dan to Beersheba.”
So I promise you this! Now I will help David to get what the Lord has promised to him. I ask God to punish me if I do not help David!
May God punish me severely and double it, if I do not do for David what the Lord has sworn about him
God do so to Abner and more also, if I do not accomplish for David what the Lord has sworn to him,
God do so to Abner and more also, if I do not accomplish for David what the Lord has sworn to him,
May God ·help [deal severely with] me if I don’t ·join David! I will make sure that what the Lord promised does happen [L …accomplish for David everything the Lord has promised him]!
So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so I do to him,
May God strike me dead unless I do for David what the Lord had promised him with an oath:
The Lord promised David that he would take the kingdom away from Saul and his descendants and would make David king of both Israel and Judah, from one end of the country to the other. Now may God strike me dead if I don't make this come true!”
May God punish Abner and do so severely if I don’t do for David what the Lord swore to him:
May God punish me terribly if I don’t help David. I will make sure that what God promised does happen!
Therefore may God do to me—and more also!—just as the Lord has promised to David, since I’m doing this for him:
Let God do to Abner and more also unless, as the LORD has sworn to David, so do I unto him,
So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;
So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;
May God do so to Abner, and more also, if as Yahweh has sworn to David, I do not do this for him,
Thus may God punish Abner, if I do not accomplish what Yahweh has sworn to David;
May God curse me if I don’t do everything I can to take away the entire kingdom from you, all the way from Dan to Beersheba, and give it to David, just as the Lord predicted.”
Abner lost his temper with Ish-Bosheth, “Treat me like a dog, will you! Is this the thanks I get for sticking by the house of your father, Saul, and all his family and friends? I personally saved you from certain capture by David, and you make an issue out of my going to bed with a woman! What God promised David, I’ll help accomplish—transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and make David ruler over the whole country, both Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba. If not, may God do his worst to me.”
May God do so to Abner, and more also, for as the Lord has sworn to David, this I will do for him,
May Elohim strike me dead unless I do for David what Yahweh had promised him with an oath:
May God do thus to Abner, and more, if I do not carry out for David what the Lord swore to him—
May God do so to me, and more so, if as the Lord has sworn to David, I do not accomplish this for him:
May God do so to Abner, and more also, if as the Lord has sworn to David, I do not accomplish this for him,
“May God punish Abner severely, and inflict even greater ills, if I fail to accomplish for David what the Lord swore to him.
May God help me if I don’t join David! I will make sure that what the Lord promised does happen!
God will severely judge Abner if I do not do for David exactly what the Lord has promised him,
I will do for David what the Lord promised him. If I don’t, may God punish me greatly.
May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the Lord promised him on oath
May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the Lord promised him on oath
May God do so to Abner, and more also, if I do not do for David as the Lord has sworn to him—
May God do so to Abner, and more also, if I do not do for David what the Lord has promised him.
May God strike me and even kill me if I don’t do everything I can to help David get what the Lord has promised him!
So may God do to Abner and so may he add to it! For just what the Lord has sworn to David, that will I accomplish for him,
So may God do to Abner and so may he add to it! For just what the Lord has sworn to David, that will I accomplish for him,
So may God do to Abner and so may he add to it! For just what the Lord has sworn to David, that will I accomplish for him,
So may God do to Abner and so may he add to it! For just what the Lord has sworn to David, that will I accomplish for him:
So do Elohim to Avner, and more also! As Hashem hath sworn to Dovid, even so I do for him [Dovid];
God do so to Abner and more also, if I do not accomplish for David what the Lord has sworn to him,
God do so to Abner and more also, if I do not accomplish for David what the Lord has sworn to him,
May God do so to Abner and even more if, as Adonai has sworn to David, I don’t accomplish this for him—
May the True God punish me severely if I don’t do for David what the Eternal One has promised him:
God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Yahweh has sworn to David, I don’t do even so to him;
God do these things to Abner, and add these things to him, no but as the Lord swore to David, so I do with him (so I shall do for him),
thus doth God to Abner, and thus He doth add to him, surely as Jehovah hath sworn to David -- surely so I do to him:
