- Newari: βBut Absalom, whom we anointed as our king has died in battle, so why shouldn’t we try to bring back the king?"β (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: βNow, Absalom whom we (incl.) chose to rule-over us (incl.) died in battle. Why do- we (incl.) not -look for a way that we (incl.) can-bring-back David as king?ββ (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
