2 Samuel 14:4-7

4And when the womanH802 of Tekoa spake to the kingH4428, she fellH5307 on her faceH639 to the groundH776, and did obeisance, and saidH559, Help, O kingH4428. 5And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, Of a truth I am a widowH490, and my husbandH376 is deadH4191. 6And thy handmaid had twoH8147 sonsH1121, and they twoH8147 strove together in the fieldH7704, and there was none to part them, but the oneH259 smote the other, and killed him. 7And, behold, the whole familyH4940 is risenH6965 against thy handmaid, and they sayH559, Deliver him that smote his brotherH251, that we may killH2026 him for the lifeH5315 of his brotherH251 whom he slewH2026, and so destroyH8045 the heir alsoH1571. Thus will they quenchH3518 my coalH1513 which is leftH7604, and will leaveH7604 to my husbandH376 neither nameH8034 nor remainder upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
