And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.
Cuando todo el pueblo vino a animar a David a comer mientras aún era de día, David hizo una promesa solemne, diciendo: 'Que Dios me castigue severamente si como pan o cualquier otra cosa antes de que se ponga el sol.'
David hizo un juramento solemne de ayunar hasta el atardecer a pesar de los ruegos del pueblo para que comiera.
