¹⁰ The king replied, ‘If anyone says anything to you, bring them to me, and they will not bother you again.’

¹¹ She said, ‘Then let the king invoke the Lord his God to prevent the avenger of blood from adding to the destruction, so that my son shall not be destroyed.’

‘As surely as the Lord lives,’ he said, ‘not one hair of your son’s head will fall to the ground.’

¹² Then the woman said, ‘Let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.’

‘Speak,’ he replied.
