Now therefore come thou first, and fulfil the king's commandment, like as all the heathen have done, yea, and the men of Juda also, and such as remain at Jerusalem: so shalt thou and thy house be in the number of the king's friends, and thou and thy children shall be honoured with silver and gold, and many rewards.
So come forward first and carry out the king's command, as all the other nations have done, and the men of Judah, and those left in Jerusalem. Then you and your family will be counted among the king's friends, honored with silver, gold, and many rewards."
