And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
Sus siervos le dijeron: 'Escucha, hemos oído que los reyes de Israel son reyes misericordiosos. Por favor, déjanos ponernos cilicio en la cintura y sogas en nuestras cabezas, y salgamos al rey de Israel. Tal vez él perdone tu vida.'
Los siervos sugirieron humillarse ante el rey de Israel esperando obtener misericordia para salvar la vida de su señor.
