20 In order to change the course of things your servant Joab did this. But my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of ^mthe angel of God to know all things that are on the earth.”

27 ^pHe has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king is ^qlike the angel of God; do therefore what seems good to you.
