Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 15:24:
- Kupsabiny: “There was also Zadok who was the big burner of sacrifices at that time/place and he was together with all the people of the clan of Levi who were carrying the Box of Covenant. Those people put that Box down until all the people who were coming from the town had passed. Abiathar was also there.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Zadok the priest together with all the Levites were also there. They were carrying with them the Ark of the Covenant of God. They put the Ark on the ground and did not pick it up [again] [lit.: carry it] until all the people had gone out of the city. While Abiathar was offering sacrifices.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “The priests Zadok and Abiatar were there also, and the Levites who were-carrying the Box of the Agreement of God. They put/placed the Box of the Agreement beside the road and Abiatar offered-sacrifices until all the men of David had-finished-leaving the city.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Abiathar and Zadok, the priests, were walking with them. The descendants of Levi who helped the priests also went with them, carrying the sacred chest that contained the Ten Commandments. But they set it on the ground until all the others had left the city.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
