2 Samuel 3:34-36

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁴ Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet laden with fetters: but as men fall before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people repeating it wept over him.

³⁵ And when all the people came to take meat with David, while it was yet broad day, David swore, saying: So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or any thing else before sunset.

³⁶ And all the people heard, and they were pleased, and all that the king did seemed good in the sight of all the people.
