2 Samuel 14:4-7

4The woman from Tekoa came  to the king and immediately bowed down with her face touching the ground. “Help ⌞me⌟, Your Majesty,” she said.

5The king asked her, “What can I do for you?” She answered, “I’m a widow; my husband is dead.

6I had two sons who quarreled in the field, and there was no one to separate them. One killed the other.

7Then the entire family turned against me. They said, ‘Give us the man who killed his brother so that we can kill him because he took his brother’s life. We’re going to destroy the one who ⌞now⌟ would be the heir.’ In this way they wish to extinguish the ⌞one⌟ burning coal that is left for me. They will not let my husband’s name or descendants remain on the face of the earth.”
