12 And the woman will say, Shall thy servant speak now a word to my lord the king? And the king will say, Speak. 13 And the woman will say, And wherefore didst thou reckon according to this concerning the people of God? for the king speaks this word as transgressing for the king not to turn back his fugitive. 14 For dying, we shall die, and as waters poured out on the earth, which will not be gathered; and God will not lift up the soul: and reckoning, he reckons that the fugitive shall not be driven out from him. 15 And now that I came to speak to the king my lord, this word, for the people will see me, and thy servant will say, I will speak now to the king, perhaps the king will do the word of his servant. 16 For the king will hear to deliver his servant from the band of the man destroying me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. 17 And thy servant will say, Now will the word of my lord the king be for a sacrifice, for as a messenger of God, so my lord the king to hear the good and the evil: and Jehovah thy God will be with thee. 2 Samuel 14:12-17, Smith's Literal Translation.
