"I hope that former robbers, [now] under the supervision [of overseers] and with an escort, patrol your domains over level and uneven ground? I hope you comfort the women and they are well guarded, but that you do not trust them [in matters of counsel] and do not tell them secrets? I hope that, having listened at night to the reports of spies and pondered the matter at hand, you then, enjoying what is pleasant, rest, having [first] come to know those closest to you?".

Thus the scripture shows the union of mercy and vigilance; what follows concerns the king's daily and nightly routine.
