Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 16:21:

• Kupsabiny: “Ahithophel replied that, ‘Go and sleep with your father’s concubines those he left to keep/guard for him the home. If you do that, all the people of Israel will know that your relationship with your father is cut/ended, that will encourage/strengthen the people who support you.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Ahithophel answered, "Sleep with the father’s concubines whom your father left to take care of royal palace. Then all the Israelites will hear that your father hated you. Then the hands of those who go to follow you will be very strong."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Ahitofel answered, ‘You lie-down-beside/(have-sexual-relations-with) the wives of your father whom he left to take-care of the palace. Then all the Israelinhon will-know that you really provoked-to-anger your father, and because of this your men will-become- more -brave.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Ahithophel replied, ‘Your father left some of his slave wives in the palace to take care of it. Have sex with them. When everyone in Israel hears that you have done that, they will realize that you are acting very contemptuously toward your father. Then all those who are with you will be very encouraged.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
