2 Samuel 14:15-17

15“Now therefore, I’ve come to present this matter to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. Your servant thought: I must speak to the king. Perhaps the king will grant his servant’s request.

16The king will surely listen in order to keep his servant from the grasp of this man who would eliminate both me and my son from God’s inheritance.

17Your servant thought: May the word of my lord the king bring relief, for my lord the king is able to discern the good and the bad like the angel of God. May the Lord your God be with you.”
