- What favour do you seek of me?
- lf we were dealing in favours,
:13:06
- l could bring you the heads of your dead.
- Kill him!
:13:09
- Your own head is not too secure.
- Silence, Haran.
:13:12
l pursued you not to ask favours
but to grant them.
:13:16
And what favour could an lsraelite
grant the Queen of Sheba?
:13:20
A kingdom twice as large
as she now rules.
:13:23
Renounce your alliance with the Pharaoh.
Let your banners fly beside mine.
:13:28
When l have overthrown him, l will give
you all his lands that border on your own.
:13:34
And if l refuse your generosity?
:13:38
Then l will hurl you down into
the same dust that will choke the Pharaoh.
:13:42
Yours is the choice.
Glory with lsrael, or disaster with Egypt.
:13:47
You dog!
:13:49
My ancestors sat upon
the throne of a great country
:13:52
when yours still crawled on their hands
and knees, feeding on insects.
:13:57
- ls that your answer?
- This is my answer.
:14:05
Haran!
:14:11
Hail the king of lsrael!
