2 Samuel 14:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ The king said to her, “What troubles you?”

She responded, “Alas, I am a widow, and my husband is dead. ⁶ Furthermore, your servant had two sons. The two of them were fighting in the field, but there was no one to separate them. One struck the other and killed him. ⁷ Now the entire family has risen up against your maidservant, and they said, ‘Deliver him who struck his brother, so that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and we will destroy the heir also.’ So they will extinguish my remaining ember, and leave my husband neither name nor remnant on the face of the earth.”
