2 Samuel 18:13

Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against [me].

Otherwise {H176} I should have wrought {H6213} falsehood {H8267} against mine own life {H5315}: for there is no matter {H1697} hid {H3582} from the king {H4428}, and thou thyself wouldest have set {H3320} thyself against me.

Or, if I had pretended that I didn't know, the king would have known otherwise anyway; and you wouldn't have interceded for me either."

If I had jeopardized my own life—and nothing is hidden from the king—you would have abandoned me.”

Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against his life (and there is no matter hid from the king), then thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.
