2 Samuel 14:7-11

7Now behold, 1the entire family has risen against your servant, and they have said, ‘Hand over the one who struck his brother, so that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed, 2and eliminate the heir as well.’ So they will extinguish my coal which is left, so as to 3leave my husband neither name nor remnant on the face of the earth.”

8Then the king said to the woman, “Go to your home, and I will issue orders concerning you.” 9The woman of Tekoa said to the king, “My lord, the king, 4the guilt is on me and my father’s house, but 5the king and his throne are guiltless.” 10So the king said, “Whoever speaks to you, bring him to me, and he will not touch you anymore.” 11Then she said, “May the king please remember the Lord your God, 6so that the avenger of blood will not continue to destroy, otherwise they will destroy my son.” And he said, “7As the Lord lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground.”
