Jonadab said to the king, "Behold, the king's sons are coming! It is as your servant said."

The woman said, "Why then have you devised such a thing against the people of God? For in speaking this word the king is as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring home again his banished one.

and I will bring back all the people to you. The man whom you seek is as if all returned. All the people shall be in peace."

Even he who is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.

He has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Do therefore what is good in your eyes.
