2 Samuel 14:15-17

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵ Now then, ^[a]the reason I have come to speak this word to my lord the king is that the people have made me afraid; so your servant said, ‘Let me now speak to the king, perhaps the king will perform the ^[b]request of his slave. ¹⁶ For the king will listen, to save his slave from the ^[c]hand of the man who would eliminate ^[d]both me and my son from ^(A)the inheritance of God.’ ¹⁷ Then your servant said, ‘Please let the word of my lord the king be ^[e]comforting, for as ^(B)the angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and evil. And may the Lord your God be with you.’”
