2 Samuel 14:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 For we must needs die, and we are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again: neither doth God [a]spare any person, yet doth he appoint [b]means, not to cast out from him, him that is expelled.
15 Now therefore, that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the King, the cause is that the people [c]have made me afraid: therefore thine handmaid said, Now will I speak unto the King: it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
16 For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me, and also my son from the inheritance of God.
