But the people said, 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 thou art worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that thou be ready to succor us out of the city.
And the people say, `Thou dost not go out, for if we utterly flee, they do not set <FI>their<Fi> heart upon us; and if half of us die, they do not set <FI>their<Fi> heart unto us--for now like us <FI>are<Fi> ten thousand; and now, better that thou be to us from the city for an helper.'
But the people said, It is better for you not to go out: for if we are put to flight, they will not give a thought to us, and if death overtakes half of us, it will be nothing to them: but you are of more value than ten thousand of us: so it is better for you to be ready to come to our help from this town.
