Go in haste, or he will overtake us quickly and bring disaster on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword.” ¹⁵ The king’s servants said to him, “Listen, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king decides.” ¹⁶ So the king left, and all his household with him. But the king left behind ten women who were concubines to take care of the house (palace).
