     3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, ^aJonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.

          •  •  •
      13 And I, whither shall I cause my ^ashame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.

          •  •  •
      15 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.
12. 2 Sam. 15: 7, 15

          •  •  •
      28 For all of my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did ^aeat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?

          •  •  •
      39 And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.

36. Ezra 4: 11-13

      8 Be it known unto the ^aking, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.
38. Ezra 8: 22
      22 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for ^agood that ^bseek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
39. Neh. 2: 1, 3, 5, 7

          •  •  •
      5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it.
          •  •  •

40. Neh. 13: 6
      6 But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
41. Esth. 2: 13-15
      13 Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house.
      14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, which kept the ^aconcubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
      15 ¶ Now when the turn of Esther, the ^adaughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
42. Esth. 4: 8, 11, 16
      8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
          •  •  •
      11 All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner ^acourt, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to ^bdeath, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden ^csceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto theking these thirty days.
          •  •  •
      16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and ^afast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
43. Esth. 5: 4, 14
      4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
          •  •  •
      14 ¶ Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a ^agallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow ^bspeak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
44. Esth. 6: 4
      4 ¶ And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward ^acourt of the king’s house, to ^bspeak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

      18 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
47. Jer. 26: 23

48. Jer. 38: 4, 17, 25
      4 Therefore the ^aprinces said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the ^bwelfare of this people, but the hurt.
          •  •  •
      17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon’s princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:
          •  •  •
      25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:
49. Jer. 52: 9
      9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.
50. Dan. 2: 24-25, 27
      24 ¶ Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
      25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king theinterpretation.
          •  •  •
      27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the ^aastrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shewunto the king;

    51. Dan. 3: 24
          24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
    52. Dan. 5: 17
          17 ¶ Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy ^agifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to himthe interpretation.
    53. Dan. 6: 15, 21
          15 Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
