Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 18:2:

• Kupsabiny: “He appointed Joab to be in charge of part of the army, (he) appointed Abishai, the brother of Joab, to be in charge of another (part), and (he) appointed Ittai of/from Gath to be in charge the third one. Then the king told his people that, ‘I will go with you (plur.) to war.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Then he separated his soldiers into three parts. One of the three parts was put under Joab, one of the three parts was put under Abishai son of Zeruiah, Joab’s younger brother, and one of the three parts was put under Ittai the Gittite. The king said to the soldiers, "I will also go into battle with you."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Then he sent- them -out into three groups. Joab was the leader/[lit. head] of one group, Abishai on-the-other-hand the sibling of Joab of one group, and Itai of/from-Gat still of one group. King David said to them, ‘I myself will- surely -go with you (plur.) to fight.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
