david_n story_n begin_v like_o

with_o much_o more_o forehead_n and_o less_o shame_n now_o than_o then_o as_o will_v appear_v the_o king_n impeach_v the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n then_o so_o the_o king_n do_v now_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n make_v answer_v to_o his_o master_n the_o clear_a that_o ever_o be_v read_v the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v render_v as_o full_a and_o fair_a account_n of_o all_o

the_o edomite_n the_o very_a same_o commission_n now_o and_o so_o a_o city_n be_v smite_v and_o burn_v with_o fire_n then_o city_n and_o town_n yea_o two_o kingdom_n be_v smite_v and_o burn_v with_o
