- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Quod si urbem aliquam fuerit ingressus, circumdabit omnis Israël civitati illi funes, et trahemus eam in torrentem, ut non reperiatur ne calculus quidem ex ea.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἐὰν εἰς τὴν πόλιν συναχθῇ, καὶ λήμψεται πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τὴν πόλιν ἐκείνην σχοινία καὶ συροῦμεν αὐτὴν ἕως εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν, ὅπως μὴ καταλειφθῇ ἐκεῖ μηδὲ λίθος.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְאִם אֶל עִיר֙ יֵֽאָסֵ֔ף וְהִשִּׂ֧יאוּ כָֽל יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶל הָעִ֥יר הַהִ֖יא חֲבָלִ֑ים וְסָחַ֤בְנוּ אֹתוֹ֙ עַד הַנַּ֔חַל עַ֛ד אֲשֶֽׁר לֹא נִמְצָ֥א שָׁ֖ם גַּם צְרֽוֹר
Haydock's commentary
Ropes, armed with hooks, to pull down the walls, and to move the battering engines. All the discourse of Chusai tends to fill the mind of the young prince with vanity; as if he could overcome all opposition when surrounded with the armies of Israel, (Calmet) at the head of which he would appear, instead of Achitophel, ver. 1. (Menochius)
