2 Samuel 14
6 And your maidservant had two sons who were fighting in the field with no one to separate them, and one struck the other and killed him.
7 Now the whole clan has risen up against your maidservant and said, ‘Hand over the one who struck down his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of the brother whom he killed. Then we will cut off the heir as well!’ So they would extinguish my one remaining ember by not preserving my husband’s name or posterity on the earth.”
8 “Go home,” the king said to the woman, “and I will give orders on your behalf.”
9 But the woman of Tekoa said to the king, “My lord the king, may any blame be on me and on my father’s house, and may the king and his throne be guiltless.”
10 “If anyone speaks to you,” said the king, “bring him to me, and he will not trouble you again!”
