2 Samuel 14:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ And behold, our whole family has risen against your handmaid, and they say, Deliver him who slew his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew; and so they would destroy the heir also. And so quenching my coal which is left, they would leave to my husband neither name nor remnant upon the earth.

⁸ David said to the woman, Go home, and I will give orders concerning you.

⁹ And the woman of Tekoah said to the king, My lord, O king, let the guilt be on me and on my father’s house; let the king and his throne be guiltless.
