13 So the woman said: “Why then have you schemed such a thing against athe people of God? For the king speaks this thing as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring bhis banished one home again.
14 For we awill surely die and become like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not btake away a life; but He cdevises means, so that His banished ones are not1 expelled from Him.
15 Now therefore, I have come to speak of this thing to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. And your maidservant said, ‘I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his maidservant.
16 For the king will hear and deliver his maidservant from the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together from the ainheritance of God.’
17 Your maidservant said, ‘The word of my lord the king will now be comforting; for aas the angel of God, so is my lord the king in bdiscerning good and evil. And may the Lord your God be with you.’ ”
