  5 H4428 The king H559 said H559 to her, "What ails you?" She answered, H61 "Truly H802 I H490 am a widow, H376 and my husband H4191 is dead.
  6 H8198 Your handmaid H8147 had two H1121 sons, H8147 and they both H5327 fought together H7704 in the field, H5337 and there was no one to part H259 them, but the one H5221 struck H259 the other, H5221 and killed him.
  7 H4940 Behold, the whole family H6965 has risen H8198 against your handmaid, H559 and they say, H5414 ‘Deliver H5221 him who struck H251 his brother, H4191 that we may kill H5315 him for the life H251 of his brother H2026 whom he killed, H8045 and so destroy H3423 the heir H3518 also.' Thus they would quench H1513 my coal H7760 which is left, H7760 and would leave H376 to my husband H8034 neither name H7611 nor remainder H6440 on H127 the surface of the earth."
  8 H4428 The king H559 said H802 to the woman, H3212 "Go H1004 to your house, H6680 and I will give a command concerning you."
  9 H802 The woman H8621 of Tekoa H559 said H4428 to the king, H113 "My lord, H4428 O king, H5771 the iniquity H1 be on me, and on my father's H1004 house; H4428 and the king H3678 and his throne H5355 be guiltless."
  10 H4428 The king H559 said, H559 "Whoever says H935 anything to you, bring H5060 him to me, and he shall not touch H3254 you any more."
  11 H559 Then she said, H4428 "Please let the king H2142 remember H3068 Yahweh H430 your God, H1350 that the avenger H1818 of blood H7843 destroy H7235 not any more, H8045 lest they destroy H1121 my son." H559 He said, H3068 "As Yahweh H2416 lives, H8185 not one hair H1121 of your son H5307 shall fall H776 to the earth."
  12 H802 Then the woman H559 said, H8198 "Please let your handmaid H1696 speak H1697 a word H113 to my lord H4428 the king." H559 He said, H1696 "Say on."
  13 H802 The woman H559 said, H2803 "Why then have you devised H5971 such a thing against the people H430 of God? H1696 For in speaking H1697 this word H4428 the king H818 is as one who is guilty, H4428 in that the king H7725 does not bring home again H5080 his banished one.
  14 H4191 For we must H4191 die, H4325 and are as water H5064 spilled H776 on the ground, H622 which can't be gathered up again; H430 neither does God H5375 take away H5315 life, H2803 but devises H4284 means, H5080 that he who is banished H5080 not be an outcast from him.
  15 H935 Now therefore seeing that I have come H1696 to speak H1697 this word H113 to my lord H4428 the king, H5971 it is because the people H3372 have made me afraid: H8198 and your handmaid H559 said, H1696 ‘I will now speak H4428 to the king; H4428 it may be that the king H6213 will perform H1697 the request H519 of his servant.'
  16 H4428 For the king H8085 will hear, H5337 to deliver H519 his servant H3709 out of the hand H376 of the man H8045 who would destroy H1121 me and my son H3162 together H5159 out of the inheritance H430 of God.
  17 H8198 Then your handmaid H559 said, H1697 ‘Please let the word H113 of my lord H4428 the king H4496 bring rest; H4397 for as an angel H430 of God, H113 so is my lord H4428 the king H8085 to discern H2896 good H7451 and bad. H3068 May Yahweh, H430 your God, be with you.'"
  18 H4428 Then the king H6030 answered H802 the woman, H3582 "Please don't hide H1697 anything H7592 from me that I ask H802 you." The woman H559 said, H113 "Let my lord H4428 the king H1696 now speak."
  19 H4428 The king H559 said, H3027 "Is the hand H3097 of Joab H802 with you in all this?" The woman H6030 answered, H5315 "As your soul H2416 lives, H113 my lord H4428 the king, H5315 no one H786 can H3231 turn to the right hand H8041 or to the left H113 from anything that my lord H4428 the king H1696 has spoken; H5650 for your servant H3097 Joab, H6680 he urged H7760 me, and he put H1697 all these words H6310 in the mouth H8198 of your handmaid;
  20 H5668 to H5437 change H6440 the face H1697 of the matter H5650 has your servant H3097 Joab H6213 done H1697 this thing. H113 My lord H2450 is wise, H2451 according to the wisdom H4397 of an angel H430 of God, H3045 to know H776 all things that are in the earth."
  21 H4428 The king H559 said H3097 to Joab, H6213 "Behold now, I have done H1697 this thing. H3212 Go H7725 therefore, bring H5288 the young man H53 Absalom H7725 back."
  22 H3097 Joab H5307 fell H776 to the ground H6440 on his face, H7812 showed respect, H1288 and blessed H4428 the king. H3097 Joab H559 said, H3117 "Today H5650 your servant H3045 knows H4672 that I have found H2580 favor H5869 in your sight, H113 my lord, H4428 king, H4428 in that the king H6213 has performed H1697 the request H5650 of his servant."
  23 H3097 So Joab H6965 arose H3212 and went H1650 to Geshur, H935 and brought H53 Absalom H3389 to Jerusalem.
  24 H4428 The king H559 said, H5437 "Let him return H1004 to his own house, H7200 but let him not see H6440 my face." H53 So Absalom H5437 returned H1004 to his own house, H7200 and didn't see H4428 the king's H6440 face.
