4Now when the womanH802 of TekoaH8621 1spokeH559 to the kingH4428, she fellH5307 on her faceH639 to the groundH776 and 2prostratedH2331 herself, and saidH559, “3HelpH3467, O kingH4428!” 5And the kingH4428 saidH559 to her, “WhatH4100 is troubling you?” And she 4answeredH559, “TrulyH61 I am a widowH802H490, for my husbandH376 is deadH4191. 6And your servantH8198 had twoH8147 sonsH1121, but the twoH8147 of them foughtH5327 in the fieldH7704, and thereH369 wasH369 noH369 5oneH369 to saveH5337 6them fromH996 eachH996 otherH996, so oneH259 struckH5221 the otherH259 and killedH4191 him. 7Now beholdH2009, 7the entireH3605 familyH4940 has risenH6965 againstH5921 your servantH8198, and they have saidH559, ‘HandH5414 overH5414 the one who struckH5221 his brotherH251, so that we may putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191 for the lifeH5315 of his brotherH251 whomH834 he killedH2026, 8and eliminateH8045 the heirH3423 asH1571 wellH1571.’ So they will extinguishH3518 my coalH1513 whichH834 is leftH7604, so as to 9leaveH7760 my husbandH376 neitherH1115 nameH8034 norH1115 remnantH7611 on the faceH6440 of the earthH127.”
