2 Samuel 19:6

וַיָּבֹא יוֹאָב אֶל ־ הַמֶּלֶךְ הַבָּיִת וַיֹּאמֶר הֹבַשְׁתָּ הַיּוֹם אֶת ־ פְּנֵי כָל ־ עֲבָדֶיךָ הַֽמְמַלְּטִים אֶֽת ־ נַפְשְׁךָ הַיּוֹם וְאֵת נֶפֶשׁ בָּנֶיךָ וּבְנֹתֶיךָ וְנֶפֶשׁ נָשֶׁיךָ וְנֶפֶשׁ פִּלַגְשֶֽׁיךָ ׃

Hebrew Tanakh (Original)

In The King James Version

In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
