2 Samuel 14:4-11
4And when the womanH802 of TekoahH8621 spakeH559 to the kingH4428, she fellH5307 on her faceH639 to the groundH776, and did obeisanceH7812, and saidH559, HelpH3467, O kingH4428.1 5And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto her, What aileth thee? And she answeredH559, I am indeedH61 a widowH490 womanH802, and mine husbandH376 is deadH4191. 6And thy handmaidH8198 had twoH8147 sonsH1121, and they twoH8147 strove togetherH5327 in the fieldH7704, and there was none to partH5337 them, but the oneH259 smoteH5221 the otherH259, and slewH4191 him.2 7And, behold, the whole familyH4940 is risenH6965 against thine handmaidH8198, and they saidH559, DeliverH5414 him that smoteH5221 his brotherH251, that we may killH4191 him, for the lifeH5315 of his brotherH251 whom he slewH2026; and we will destroyH8045 the heirH3423 also: and so they shall quenchH3518 my coalH1513 which is leftH7760, and shall not leaveH7604 to my husbandH376 neither nameH8034 nor remainderH7611 uponH6440 the earthH127.3 8And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto the womanH802, GoH3212 to thine houseH1004, and I will give chargeH6680 concerning thee. 9And the womanH802 of TekoahH8621 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, My lordH113, O kingH4428, the iniquityH5771 be on me, and on my father’sH1 houseH1004: and the kingH4428 and his throneH3678 be guiltlessH5355. 10And the kingH4428 saidH559, Whosoever saithH1696 ought unto thee, bringH935 him to me, and he shall not touchH5060 thee any moreH3254. 11Then saidH559 she, I pray thee, let the kingH4428 rememberH2142 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengersH1350 of bloodH1818 to destroyH7843 any moreH7235, lest they destroyH8045 my sonH1121. And he saidH559, As YhwhH3068 livethH2416, there shall not one hairH8185 of thy sonH1121 fallH5307 to the earthH776.4
