Löydetty 2623 Tulokset: King David
Ah, said she, if the king would only take an oath in the name of the Lord his God that the kinsfolk shall not be allowed to carry on the feud, that my son’s life shall indeed be spared! Not a hair shall fall from his head, the king answered. (2 Samuel 14, 11)
And now the woman asked leave to speak one word besides, and the king granted it. (2 Samuel 14, 12)
Then she said, Why does the king’s grace treat the people of God so differently? Why does he persist in doing them wrong, by refusing to restore the man he has exiled? (2 Samuel 14, 13)
I came to make my suit before my lord the king, with his subjects standing by, thinking to myself, Come, I will plead with the king, and perhaps he will grant his handmaid’s request; (2 Samuel 14, 15)
and the king’s grace has listened to me, and given me redress against those who would have blotted out my name and my son’s name from the record of the Lord’s people. (2 Samuel 14, 16)
And now let this plea of thy handmaid’s move thee, my lord king, to speak a generous word.✻ Though indeed my lord the king is wise as an angel of God; thou art not moved from thy purpose by fair word or foul; the Lord thy God is with thee. (2 Samuel 14, 17)
Then the king said to her, I have a question to ask thee; answer it openly. My Lord king, she said, thou hast only to speak. (2 Samuel 14, 18)
Tell me then, said the king, was not Joab concerned in all this? As thou art a living man, she answered, that guess the king’s grace has made has not missed the truth by a hair’s breadth. It was thy servant Joab who sent me on my errand, and told me all I was to say; (2 Samuel 14, 19)
it was thy servant Joab who bade me use this parable. My lord king, thou art wise as an angel of God; nothing on earth is hidden from thee. (2 Samuel 14, 20)
And the king turned to Joab, and said, I relent, and grant thy request; go and bring my son Absalom home. (2 Samuel 14, 21)
Whereupon Joab bowed his face to the ground in reverence, and blessed the king’s name. To-day, he said, I am assured of thy royal favour, that thou shouldst so grant thy servant his will. (2 Samuel 14, 22)
But the king said, Let him go back to his own house, and never come into my presence; so Absalom went home, and might not have access to the king. (2 Samuel 14, 24)
