2 Samuel 14:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ Then she said, I pray you, let the king remember the Lord your God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son. And David said, As the Lord lives, there shall not one hair of your son fall to the earth.

¹² Then the woman said, Let your handmaid, I pray you, speak one word to my lord the king. He said, Say on.

¹³ [She] said, Why then have you planned such a thing against God’s people? For in speaking this word the king is like one who is guilty, in that [he] does not bring home his banished one.
