Living Bible

⁸ “Leave it with me,” the king told her. “I’ll see to it that no one touches him.”

⁹ “Oh, thank you, my lord,” she replied. “And I’ll take the responsibility if you are criticized for helping me like this.”

¹⁰ “Don’t worry about that!” the king replied. “If anyone objects, bring him to me; I can assure you he will never complain again!”
