52 And it came to pass that when Aaron had said these words, the king did bow down before the Lord, upon his knees; yea, even he did prostrate himself upon the earth, and cried mightily, saying, O God, Aaron hath told me that there is a God;
53 And if there is a God, and if thou art God, wilt thou make thyself known unto me, and I will give away all my sins to know thee, and that I may be raised from the dead, and be saved at the last day.
54 And now when the king had said these words, he was struck as if he were dead.
55 And it came to pass that his servants ran and told the queen all that had happened unto the king.
56 And she came in unto the king; and when she saw him lay as if he were dead, and also Aaron and his brethren standing as though they had been the cause of his fall, she was angry with them, and commanded that her servants, or the servants of the king, should take them and slay them.
57 Now the servants had seen the cause of the king's fall, therefore they durst not lay their hands on Aaron and his brethren.
58 And they plead with the queen, saying, Why commandest thou that we should slay these men, when behold, one of them is mightier than us all? Therefore we shall fall before them.
59 Now when the queen saw the fear of the servants, she also began to fear exceedingly, lest there should some evil come upon her.
60 And she commanded her servants that they should go and call the people, that they might slay Aaron and his brethren.
61 Now when Aaron saw the determination of the queen, and he also knowing the hardness of the hearts of the people, feared lest a multitude should assemble themselves together, and there should be a great contention, and a disturbance among them;
62 Therefore he put forth his hand and raised the king from the earth, and said unto him, Stand: and he stood upon his feet, receiving his strength.
