New American Standard Bible

⁴ Now when the woman of Tekoa ^[a]spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground and ^(A)prostrated herself, and said, “^(B)Help, O king!” ⁵ And the king said to her, “What is troubling you?” And she ^[b]answered, “Truly I am a widow, for my husband is dead. ⁶ And your servant had two sons, but the two of them fought in the field, and there was no ^[c]one to save ^[d]them from each other, so one struck the other and killed him.
