2 Samuel 14:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ Maybe he will listen. Perhaps he will save me from those who want to keep both me and my son from getting what God gave us.’

¹⁷ “Now I say, ‘May the words of my master the king give me rest. Like an angel of God, you know what is good and what is bad. May the Lord your God be with you!’”

¹⁸ Then King David said, “Do not hide the truth. Answer me one question.”

The woman said, “My master the king, please ask your question.”
