2 Samuel 14:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 Now I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, because the people made me afraid, and your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king, perhaps the king will grant[a] the request of his servant. 16 For the king will listen, to deliver his servant from the hand of the man who seeks to destroy me and my son together from the inheritance of God.’ 17 Your servant also thought, ‘May the word of my lord the king bring rest,[b] for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king, to sense what is good and what is bad.’[c] May Yahweh your God be with you.”

15 “And now I have come to say this to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid.

17 “And now your servant says, ‘May the word of my lord the king secure my inheritance, for my lord the king is like an angel(B) of God in discerning(C) good and evil. May the Lord your God be with you.’”
