And has the tiding of the disputants reached yousg , as they climbed the sanctuary—
— Fadel Soliman, Bridges’ translation
as they entered upon David, and he was startled by them? They said, “Do not fear; two disputants, one of whom has oppressed the other. So judge between us with the truth and do not be untrue, and guide us to the right path.”
