2 Samuel 14:5-11

VIN(i) 5 The king asked her: "What can I do for you?" She answered: "I am a widow; my husband is dead. 6 Your servant had two sons, and they both fought in the open field, and there was no one to part them. One struck the other and killed him. 7 Behold, the whole family has risen against your servant, and they say, 'Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and so destroy the heir also.' Thus they would quench my coal which is left, and would leave to my husband neither name nor remainder on the surface of the earth.” 8 The king said to the woman, "Go to your house, and I will give a command concerning you." 9 And the woman of Tekoah said to the king, My lord, O king, may the iniquity be on me and on my father's house. And may the king and his throne be without guilt. 10 The king said, “Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he will not bother you any more.” 11 Then she said, "Please let the king remember the LORD your God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son." He said, "As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground."
