10 He it was that rose up and kept striking down the Phi·lisʹtines until his hand wearied and his hand kept cleaving to the sword,+ so that Jehovah performed a great salvation on that day;+ and as for the people, they returned behind him only to strip [those struck down].+
17 And he went on to say: “It is unthinkable on my part,+ O Jehovah, that I should do this! [Shall I drink]* the blood+ of the men going at the risk of their souls?” And he did not consent to drink it.
