14 They have sent some to Jerusalem, because they also that dwell there have done this thing, to bring them permission from the council of elders.

16 Therefore I your servant, knowing all this, fled away from their presence. God sent me to work things with you, at which all the earth will be astonished, even as many as hear it.

17 For your servant is religious, and serves the God of heaven day and night. Now, my lord, I will stay with you; and your servant will go out by night into the valley. I will pray to God, and he will tell me when they have committed their sins.

18 Then I will come and tell you. Then you can go out with all your army, and there will be none of them that will resist you.
