2 Samuel 14:15-17

American Standard Version

¹⁵ Now therefore seeing that I am come to speak this word unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant. ¹⁶ For the king will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. ¹⁷ Then thy handmaid said, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be ^[a]comfortable; for as ^[b]an angel of God, so is my lord the king ^[c]to discern good and bad: and Jehovah thy God be with thee.
