- Præceperat autem Absalom pueris suis, dicens : Observate cum temulentus fuerit Amnon vino, et dixero vobis : Percutite eum, et interficite : nolite timere : ego enim sum qui præcipio vobis : roboramini, et estote viri fortes.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ λέγων Ἴδετε ὡς ἂν ἀγαθυνθῇ ἡ καρδία Ἀμνὼν ἐν τῷ οἴνῳ καὶ εἴπω πρὸς ὑμᾶς, πατάξατε τὸν Ἀμνὼν καὶ θανατώσατε αὐτόν· μὴ φοβηθῆτε, ὅτι οὐχὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἐντελλόμενος ὑμῖν; ἀνδρίζεσθε καὶ γίνεσθε εἰς υἱοὺς δυνάμεως.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
It is I: the blame will fall on me; I will rescue all from danger. These servants were probably infidels, of Gessur, and fled with their master. (Menochius)
