• Hiligaynon: “The one-who-was-placed by the king to control the rushing-as-a-group of the people in the gate of the city was the official whom he trusted. But he fell-down and was-trampled-upon by the people there at the gate, and he died just-as what Elisha the servant of God said when the king went to Elisha.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “The king of Israel had appointed the officer who was his assistant to supervise what was happening at the marketplace. But as he was standing near the gate, all the people who were rushing outside the city trampled on him, and he died, which was what Elisha had said would happen to him when Elisha previously went to talk to the king.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
