Amalickiah took the same servant who killed the king and the others who were with him. They went to the queen where she sat. They all told her that the king was killed by his own servants. They said: “They have run away. Doesn’t this prove they did it?” This made the queen believe what happened to the king.

Amalickiah brought the very servant who’d killed the king, along with the others who’d been there, and they went to the queen. They all testified that the king had been murdered by his own servants, and they added, “Those servants have fled. Doesn’t their flight prove their guilt?” This satisfied the queen about how the king died.
