לבני עמון כה אמר יהוה הבנים אין לישראל אם־יורש אין לו מדוע ירש מלכם את־גד ועמו בעריו ישב׃ |
Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities? | Of the children of Ammon.

These are the words of the Lord: Has Israel no sons? has he no one to take the heritage? why then has Milcom taken Gad for himself, putting his people in its towns? | |||
