撒母耳記下 11:25

王向使者說：「你告訴約押說：『不要因這事愁悶，刀劍或吞滅這人或吞滅那人，沒有一定的；你只管竭力攻城，將城傾覆。』可以用這話勉勵約押。」

wáng xiàng shǐ zhě shuō ：「 nǐ gào sù yuē yā shuō ：『 bú yào yīn zhè shì chóu mèn ， dāo jiàn huò tūn miè zhè rén huò tūn miè nà rén ， méi yǒu yí dìng de ； nǐ zhǐ guǎn jié lì gōng chéng ， jiāng chéng qīng fù 。』 kě yǐ yòng zhè huà miǎn lì yuē yā 。」

Then David said to the messenger, “Tell Joab, ‘Don’t let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it.’ Encourage him.”
