2Sam.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.

2Sam.14.17

As your handmaid, I decided ahead of time, "The word of my master, the king, will be the last word in this, for my master is like an angel of God in discerning good and evil.' GOD be with you!" 8The king said, "Go home, and I'll take care of this for you." 9"I'll take all responsibility for what happens," the woman of Tekoa said. "I don't want to compromise the king and his reputation." 10"Bring the man who has been harassing you," the king continued. "I'll see to it that he doesn't bother you anymore." 11"Let the king invoke the name of GOD," said the woman, "so this self-styled vigilante won't ruin everything, to say nothing of killing my son.As surely as GOD lives," he said, "not so much as a hair of your son's head will be lost." 12Then she asked, "May I say one more thing to my master, the king?" He said, "Go ahead." 13"Why, then," the woman said, "have you done this very thing against God's people? In his verdict, the king convicts himself by not bringing home his exiled son. 14We all die sometime. Water spilled on the ground can't be gathered up again. But God does not take away life. He works out ways to get the exile back."

Yes, the king will give us peace of mind again.' I know that you are like an angel of God and can discern good from evil. May the LORD your God be with you."
