“And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.”
King James Version (KJV)
6:7 A king - We have now a king of our nation. Counsel - That we may impartially examine the matter, that thy innocency may be cleared.
