  • Kupsabiny: “And the next morning it was seen that many people had gathered there by the gate. Then Jehu came out and talked to those people. He said to (them), ‘You (plur.) have seen what has happened. I am telling you, these events are not your fault, but I am the one who plotted against my master and killed (him). If/When you look at (it), who killed these people?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The next morning he went to the gate, and he stood before all the people who had gathered there, and said, "The guilt is not yours. I am the one who planned a conspiracy against King Joram and killed him. But who killed all these?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “In-the-morning, Jehu came-out and stood before/[lit. in front of] the people and said, ‘You (plur.) do- not -have sin. I am-the-one-who planned against my master and killed him. But who killed all of these?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The next morning he went out to the city gate and said to all the people, ‘I am the one who plotted against King Joram and killed him. You are not guilty of doing that. But it was Yahweh, not I who commanded that all these descendants of Ahab should be killed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
