2 Samuel 14:7-9

Living Bible

⁷ Now the rest of the family is demanding that I surrender my other son to them to be executed for murdering his brother. But if I do that, I will have no one left, and my husband’s name will be destroyed from the face of the earth.”

⁸ “Leave it with me,” the king told her. “I’ll see to it that no one touches him.”

⁹ “Oh, thank you, my lord,” she replied. “And I’ll take the responsibility if you are criticized for helping me like this.”
