2 Samuel 14:15

Now I have come to say this to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid , and your servant thought , I will speak to the king ; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant .

“And now I have come to say this to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. Your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king; perhaps he will grant his servant`s request.

Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid : and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
