- καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλεισαῖε Ζῇ Κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ᾧ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι εἰ μὴ πρόσωπον Ἰωσαφὰθ βασιλέως Ἰούδα ἐγὼ λαμβάνω, ἦ ἐπέβλεψα πρὸς σὲ καὶ εἶδόν σε·

Haydock's commentary
Reverence, (erubescerem) "blush at," may imply a degree of censure at Josaphat's being again found in such bad company, ver. 2. (Haydock)
Hebrew, "If I did not receive (Calmet) or regard the face." (Haydock)
