Parallel Strong's Berean Study BibleBut the people pleaded, “You must not go out! For if we have to flee, they will pay no attention to us. Even if half of us die, they will not care; but you are worth ten thousand of us. It is better for now if you support us from the city.” Young's Literal Translation And the people say, ‘Thou dost not go out, for if we utterly flee, they do not set [their] heart upon us; and if half of us die, they do not set [their] heart unto us—for now like us [are] ten thousand; and now, better that thou be to us from the city for an helper.’ King James Bible But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now [thou art] worth ten thousand of us: therefore now [it is] better that thou succour {08675;05826:08687} us out of the city.
