23 And|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3588" archers|strong="H3384" shot|strong="H3384" at|strong="H4428" king|strong="H4428" Josiah|strong="H2977"; and|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3588" king|strong="H4428" said to|strong="H4428" his|strong="H3588" servants|strong="H5650", Have|strong="H5650" me|strong="H5674" away|strong="H5674"; for|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" am|strong="H2470" sore|strong="H3966" wounded|strong="H2470".
