2 Samuel 14:10-12

Modern English Version

¹⁰ The king said, “Whoever speaks to you, bring him to me, and he will not cause you harm again.”

¹¹ Then she said, “May the king remember the Lord your God so that the avenger of blood will not continue to destroy, lest they exterminate my son.”

He said, “As the Lord lives, not one hair of your son will fall to the ground.”

¹² Then the woman said, “Allow your servant to speak a word to my lord the king.”

So he said, “Speak.”
