2 Samuel 14:17

Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so [is] my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee.

Then thine handmaid {H8198} said {H559}, The word {H1697} of my lord {H113} the king {H4428} shall now be comfortable {H4496}: for as an angel {H4397} of God {H430}, so is my lord {H113} the king {H4428} to discern {H8085} good {H2896} and bad {H7451}: therefore the LORD {H3068} thy God {H430} will be with thee.

Then your servant said, 'Please let my lord the king say something that will give me relief; for my lord the king is like an angel of God in discerning good from bad - and may ADONAI your God be with you.'"

And now your servant says, ‘May the word of my lord the king bring me rest, for my lord the king is able to discern good and evil, just like the angel of God. May the LORD your God be with you.’”

Then thy handmaid said, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be comfortable; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: and Jehovah thy God be with thee.
