2 Samuel 14:7 CPDV

⁵  And the king said to her, 'What problem do you have?' And she responded: 'Alas, I am a woman who is a widow. For my husband has died.

⁶  And your handmaid had two sons. And they quarreled against one another in the field. And there was no one there who would be able to stop them. And one struck the other, and killed him.

⁷  And behold, the whole family, rising up against your handmaid, said: 'Deliver him who struck down his brother, so that we may kill him for the life of his brother, whom he killed, and so that we may do away with the heir.' And they are seeking to extinguish my spark that is left, so that there may not survive a name for my husband, nor a remnant upon the earth.'

⁸  And the king said to the woman, 'Go to your own house, and I will make a decree on your behalf.'

⁹  And the woman of Tekoa said to the king: 'May the iniquity be upon me, my lord, and upon the house of my father. But may the king and his throne be innocent.'
