Niin meni AbiMelek ylös Salmonin vuorelle, hän ja kaikki kansa joka hänen seurassansa oli, ja AbiMelek otti kirveen käteensä ja hakkasi oksan puusta, pani olallensa ja kantoi sen, ja sanoi kansalle, joka hänen seurassansa oli: mitä te näitte minun tekevän, se myös te nopiasti tehkäät niinkuin minäkin.
And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
