  • Kupsabiny: “One day, the king of Ammon who was called Nahash went to raid the city of Jabesh in the area of Gilead in the country of Israel. The soldiers of that king surrounded the city. Then the people of Jabesh told Nahash that, ‘We are ready to become your slaves if you accept us to have peace with you (plur.).’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

  • Hiligaynon: “Now, Nahash the king of the Ammonhon went with his soldiers to the town/city of Jabesh Gilead, and they besieged this in-order to-attack (it). The people of Jabesh said to him, ‘[You (sing.)] make an agreement/(treaty) with us (excl.), and we (excl.) will-be-subject to you (sing.).’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “About a month later, King Nahash of Ammon led his army across the Jordan River, and they surrounded Jabesh city in the Gilead region. But all the men of Jabesh went and said to Nahash, ‘Make an agreement/treaty with us not to kill us, and then we will let you rule us.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
