and they had searched the scriptures diligently,

that they might know the word of God.

for they supposed that one of their men could slay him

according to their pleasure,

I will not slay Ammon,

neither will I return to the land of Ishmael,

but I go to the land of Middoni that I may release the brethren of Ammon,

for I know that they are just men and holy prophets of the true God.
