2 Samuel 14:14-16

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁴ For ^(A)we will surely die and are ^(B)like water spilled on the ground which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not take away life, but thinks up ^[a]ways so that ^(C)the banished one will not be cast out from him. ¹⁵ So now, ^[b]the reason I have come to speak this word to my lord the king is that the people have made me afraid; so your servant-woman said, ‘Let me now speak to the king, perhaps the king will perform the word of his maidservant. ¹⁶ For the king will listen ^[c]and deliver his maidservant from the ^[d]hand of the man who would destroy ^[e]both me and my son from ^(D)the inheritance of God.’
