2 Samuel 14:14-16
English Standard Version
14 We must all die; we are (A)like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God will not take away life, and he devises means (B)so that the banished one will not remain an outcast. 15 Now I have come to say this to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid, and your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant. 16 For the king will hear and deliver his servant from the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together from (C)the heritage of God.’
