And the woman of Thecua said to the king: Upon me, my lord, be the iniquity, and upon the house of my father; but may the king and his throne be guiltless.
And she fell at his feet, and said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord. Let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears: and hear the words of thy servant.
And he answering said: Two nations are in thy womb and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb. And one people shall overcome the other; and the elder shall serve the younger.
