2 Samuel 14:5-7

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁵ And the king said unto her, What ails thee? And she answered, I am a widow woman, and my husband is dead.

⁶ And thy handmaid had two sons, and the two strove together in the field, and there was no one to part them, but the one smote the other and slew him.

⁷ And, behold, the whole family is risen against thy handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew, and we will destroy the heir also. So they shall quench my coal which is left and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth.
