Here the king, having accepted counsel, still takes counsel again. It is telling that he is not content with the approval of friends, but seeks also the word of priests and sages: a weighty decision is tested by many voices and many times over. Thus the scripture shows circumspection even in a good undertaking; and further the king himself puts forward a question.
