6 Além disso, amanhã a estas horas enviarei eu a ti meus servos, os quais vasculharão a tua casa, e as casas de teus servos; e tomarão com suas mãos, e levarão tudo o que for precioso que tiveres.

7 Então o rei de Israel chamou a todos os anciãos da terra, e disse-lhes: Entendei, e vede agora como este não busca a não ser mal: pois que enviou a mim por minhas mulheres e meus filhos, e por minha prata e por meu ouro; e eu não se o neguei.
