2 Samuel 14:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ The woman from Tekoa went to the king. She bowed down with her face toward the ground. She did it to show him respect. She said, “Your Majesty, please help me!”

⁵ The king asked her, “What’s bothering you?”

She said, “I’m a widow. My husband is dead. ⁶ I had two sons. They got into a fight with each other in a field. No one was there to separate them. One of my sons struck down the other one and killed him.
