12 Consequently Aʹchish believed+ David, saying to himself: “He has unquestionably become a stench among his people Israel;+ and he will have to become my servant to time indefinite.”

17 then your maidservant said, ‘Let the word of my lord the king serve, please, to give rest.’ For just like an angel+ of the [true] God is the way my lord the king is, to distinguish what is good and what is bad,+ and may Jehovah your God himself prove to be with you.”

20 For the sake of altering the face of the matter your servant Joʹab has done this thing, but my lord is wise as with the wisdom of the angel+ of the [true] God so as to know all that is in the earth.”

27 So he slandered+ your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king is as an angel+ of the [true] God, and so do what is good in your eyes.

35 The pleasure of a king is in the servant who is acting with insight,+ but his fury comes to be toward one acting shamefully.+

14 And what was a trial* to YOU in my flesh, YOU did not treat with contempt or spit at in disgust; but YOU received me like an angel+ of God, like Christ Jesus.+
