International Children’s Bible

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, “You must answer the question I will ask you.”

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

¹⁹ The king said, “Did Joab tell you to say all these things?”

The woman answered, “As you live, my master the king, you are right. Your servant Joab did tell me to say these things.
