THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

First Book of Kings (Author Compiled by Isaias from records of Samuel, David, Nathan, and Gad.)

2:16And he that sacrificed said to him: Let the fat first be burnt to day, according to the custom, and then take to thee as much as thy soul desireth. But he answered, and said to him: Not so: but thou shalt give it me now, or else I will take it by force.
