15

Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.”

EXPLANATION

Verse 15. For him? We might read without an interrogation, “I have to-day begun …” (Chald.) never suspecting that it would be disagreeable to the king. Calmet.—His character and his declarations, led me to conclude quite the contrary, so that I cannot lawfully be accused of any conspiracy. Bible.
