2 Samuel 6:22

English Standard Version

22 I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your[1] eyes. But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor.” 

New International Version

22 I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honour.’ 

New International Reader’s Version

22 And that’s not all. I will bring even less honour to myself. I will bring even more shame on myself. But those female slaves you spoke about will honour me.’ 

King James Version

22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.
