| Mephibosheth said unto the king, yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house. (2 Sam. 19:30) |
| Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. (1 Kings 3:26) |
| Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now. (2 Kings 8:6) |
For the rapture of love is linked
With the pain or fear of loss,
And the hand that takes the crown
Must ache with many a cross;
Yet he who has never a conflict
Has never a victor’s palm,
And only the toilers know
The sweetness of rest and calm. |
