Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 11:25:

• Kupsabiny: “Then David replied to that person that, ‘Go and tell Joab that, ‘Let these words/things not eat you in the head, because death finds/meets any person who is at war. Eat/fight the war very much until you capture that city.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “David said to the man who brought the message, ‘Take this message to Joab, ‘Do not let this upset you. Just as the sword kills one, just like that [it] will also kill someone else [lit.: another]. Do not give up attacking the city and destroy it.’ Speak these words that Joab may be encouraged."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “David said to the messenger, ‘Tell Joab that his feelings should- not -go-bad with what-happened, for (it) can- not indeed -be-determined who will-die in battle. Tell him that he should-be-strong, and he should-strengthen more the attack-against the town until it will-be-destroyed.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “David said to the messenger, ‘Go back to Joab and say to him, ‘Do not be distressed about what happened, because no one ever knows who will be killed in a battle.’ Tell him that the next time his troops should attack the city more strongly, and capture it.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
