Und die Fürsten sprachen zu dem König: Möge doch dieser Mann getötet werden! Da er ja nur die Hände der Kriegsleute schlaff macht, die in dieser Stadt übriggeblieben sind, und die Hände des ganzen Volkes, indem er nach allen diesen Worten zu ihnen redet; denn dieser Mann sucht nicht den Frieden, sondern das Unglück dieses Volkes.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Y dijeron los príncipes al rey: Muera ahora este hombre; porque de esta manera hace desmayar las manos de los hombres de guerra que han quedado en esta ciudad, y las manos de todo el pueblo, hablándoles tales palabras; porque este hombre no busca la paz de este pueblo, sino el mal.

Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Então, os oficiais disseram ao rei: "Deixa este homem morrer, pois o que ele diz está enfraquecendo as mãos dos soldados que permanecem nesta cidade e de todo o povo. Ele está proclamando estas palavras, pois não está trabalhando pela segurança deste povo, mas, sim, para a destruição."
