King James Version (KJV)
For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.

Bible in Basic English (BBE)
For I would not, for shame, make request to the king for a band of armed men and horsemen to give us help against those who might make attacks on us on the way: for we had said to the king, The hand of our God is on his servants for good, but his power and his wrath are against all those who are turned away from him.

Reina-Valera 1909 (RVR 1909)
Porque tuve vergüenza de pedir al rey tropa y gente de á caballo que nos defendiesen del enemigo en el camino: porque habíamos hablado al rey, diciendo: La mano de nuestro Dios es para bien sobre todos los que le buscan; mas su fortaleza y su furor sobre todos los que le dejan.

Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)
Me daba vergüenza pedirle al rey que nos proporcionara soldados y caballería que nos protegieran de los enemigos que pudiera haber en el camino, pues le habíamos dicho que nuestro Dios protege a todos los que lo adoran, y que su ira se abate sólo sobre los que lo abandonan.
