καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἰσμαὴλ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν καταλειφθέντα εἰς Μασσηφὰ καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας τοῦ βασιλέως, ἃς παρεκατέθετο ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος τῷ Γοδολίᾳ υἱῷ Ἀχεικάμ, καὶ ᾤχετο εἰς τὸ πέραν υἱῶν Ἀμμών.

LXX

Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah negligently; and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
