2 Samuel 14:10-12
International Standard Version
10 The king replied, “Bring anyone who talks to you about this to me, and he certainly won’t be bothering[a] you anymore!”
11 Then she said, “Your majesty, please remember the Lord your God, so that blood avengers don’t do any more damage! Otherwise, they’ll destroy my son!”
So he promised, “As the Lord lives, not even a single hair from your son’s head[b] will fall to the ground!”
12 At this, the woman responded, “Would your majesty the king please allow your humble servant to say one more thing?”
“Say it…”[c] he replied.

“Speak,” he replied.
