Brenton 1851
Likewise for those that are no soldiers, and have not to do with wars, but use husbandry, when they have reaped again that which they had sown, they bring it to the king, and compel one another to pay tribute unto the king.
Greek · Brenton
Καὶ ὅσοι οὐ στρατεύονται οὐδὲ πολεμοῦσιν, ἀλλὰ γεωργοῦσι τὴν γῆν, πάλιν ὅταν σπείρωσι θερίσαντε, ἀναφέρουσι τῷ βασιλεῖ· καὶ ἕτερος τὸν ἕτερον ἀναγκάζοντες, ἀναφέρουσι τοὺς φόρους τῷ βασιλεῖ.
