2 Samuel 14:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ Your servant had two sons. The two of them had a fight out in the field, and there was no one there to separate them. The one struck the other and killed him. ⁷ Now the entire family has risen up against your servant. They are saying, ‘Turn over the one who struck down his brother, so we can put him to death because of the life of his brother whom he killed. In this way we will destroy the heir also.’ They will put out the fire of the one burning coal that is left for me. My husband will not have a name or anything left on the face of the earth.”

⁸ The king said to the woman, “Go to your house. I will issue orders on your behalf.”
