The householder, on seeing his invitation slighted, declared that none of the men who are bidden should taste of his supper. But for those who had done despite 308 to the king, more than exclusion from his presence and his table is decreed. "He sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city."

Da husbonden så, at hans indbydelse blev ringeagtet, erklærede han, at ingen af de mænd, som var indbudt, skulle smage hans måltid, men angående dem, som havde forhånet kongen, blev der udstedt befaling om mere end udelukkelse fra hans nærværelse og hans gæstebud. Han "sendte sine hære ud og slog disse mordere ihjel og satte ild på deres by".
