Parallel Translations

Clementine Latin Vulgate (1592)
Obsecro, Domine : memento, quæso, quomodo ambulaverim coram te in veritate, et in corde perfecto, et quod placitum est coram te fecerim. Flevit itaque Ezechias fletu magno.
Jerome's Latin Vulgate (405)
populum autem, qui erat in ea, eduxit, et fecit super eos tribulas, et trahas, et ferrata carpenta transire, ita ut dissecarentur et contererentur. Sic fecit David cunctis urbibus filiorum Ammon: et reversus est cum omni populo suo in Jerusalem.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

And he: 1 Chronicles 19:2-5, Psalms 21:8, Psalms 21:9

and cut: Instead of wyyasar, "and he cut," the parallel passage is wyyasem, "and he put them;" which is also the reading here of seven manuscripts collated by Dr. Kennicott. Sawing asunder, etc., of human beings, have no more place in the text, than they had in David's conduct towards the Ammonites.

with saws: Exodus 1:14, Joshua 9:23, Judges 8:6-7, Judges 8:16-17, 1 Kings 9:21

Reciprocal: 2 Samuel 12:31 - and put them 2 Chronicles 25:12 - cast them
