2 Samuel 14:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ And thy handmaid had two sons: and they quarrelled with each other in the field, and there was none to part them: and the one struck the other, and slew him.

⁷ And behold the whole kindred rising against thy handmaid, saith: Deliver him that hath slain his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother, whom he slew, and that we may destroy the heir: and they seek to quench my spark which is left, and will leave my husband no name, nor remainder upon the earth.

⁸ And the king said to the woman: Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
