Sinabi ng hari: “Kasama mo ba ang kamay ni Joab sa lahat ng ito?” Sumagot ang babae at nagsabi: “Buháy ang inyong kaluluwa, aking panginoong hari, hindi maaaring lumihis sa kanan o sa kaliwa mula sa lahat ng sinabi ng aking panginoong hari; sapagkat ang inyong lingkod na si Joab, siya ang nag-utos sa akin, at siya ang naglagay ng lahat ng mga salitang ito sa bibig ng inyong lingkod.

Here we have Abraham prophesying that both he and Lot would sit next to G–d, but he did not know who would sit on which side of G–d until the time came. This is the deeper meaning of Abraham saying to Lot that one of them would find himself on the Left whereas the other would find himself on the Right. This also explains why the word ve-eyminah is not punctuated with the vowel patach under the letter aleph as we would have expected, seeing that is the vowel used under the word ve-assme-ilah. Although Rashi says that we have a similar construction in Samuel II 14, 19, the fact is that when the vowel tzeyre is used it indicates an immediate activity.
