And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
David greeted them and said, "If you are here to peacefully help me, I will fully support you. But if you plan to betray me to my enemies, since I have done no wrong, may the God of our ancestors observe this and correct it."
