11 17 John and Absalom, who were sent by you, have delivered your signed communication and have asked about the matters indicated therein. 11 18 I have informed the king of everything that needed to be brought before him, and he has agreed to what was possible. 11 19 If you will maintain your good will toward the government, I will endeavor for the future to help promote your welfare. 11 20 And concerning these matters and their details, I have ordered these men and my representatives to confer with you. 11 21 Farewell.
