2 Samuel 14:4-7

4Now when the womanH802 of TekoaH8621 1spokeH559 to the kingH4428, she fellH5307 on her faceH639 to the groundH776 and 2prostratedH7812 herself and saidH559, “3HelpH3467, O kingH4428.” 5The kingH4428 saidH559 to her, “WhatH4100 is your trouble?” And she 4answeredH559, “TrulyH61 I am a widowH490, for my husbandH376 is deadH4191. 6Your maidservantH8198 had twoH8147 sonsH1121, but the twoH8147 of them struggledH5327 togetherH5327 in the fieldH7704, and thereH369 was noH369 5oneH369 to separateH5337 them, so oneH259 struckH5221 the otherH259 and killedH4191 him. 7Now beholdH2009, 6the wholeH3605 familyH4940 has risenH6965 againstH5921 your maidservantH8198, and they sayH559, ‘HandH5414 overH5414 the one who struckH5221 his brotherH251, that we may putH4191 him to deathH4191 for the lifeH5315 of his brotherH251 whomH834 he killedH2026, 7and destroyH8045 the heirH3423 alsoH1571.’ Thus they will extinguishH3518 my coalH1513 whichH834 is leftH7604, so as to 8leaveH7760 my husbandH376 neitherH1115 nameH8034 norH1115 remnantH7611 on the faceH6440 of the earthH127.”
