2 Samuel 14:4-7

4When the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, bowed down and said, “Help, O king!”

5“What’s the matter with you?” the king said to her. “Truly, I am a widow, my husband is dead,” she said.

6“Your handmaid had two sons, but the two of them fought with each other in the field, where there was no one to separate them. So one struck the other and killed him.

7Now behold, the whole clan has risen against your handmaid and said, ‘Hand over the one who struck down his brother so we may put him to death, for the life of his brother whom he slew.’ So they will also destroy the heir and extinguish my one remaining ember, leaving to my husband neither name nor remnant on the face of the earth!”
