Suddenly, Jeroboam’s demeanor changes. He begs the man of God: “Soften, please, the face of Jehovah your God and pray in my behalf that my hand may be restored to me. ”
وَفَجْأَةً تَغَيَّرَ مَوْقِفُ يَرُبْعَامَ ،‏ وَتَوَسَّلَ إِلَى رَجُلِ ٱللهِ :‏ « اِسْتَعْطِفْ وَجْهَ يَهْوَهَ إِلٰهِكَ وَصَلِّ لِأَجْلِي حَتَّى تَرْجِعَ يَدِي إِلَيَّ » .‏
