2 Samuel 14:5-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵ The king said to her, “What is your trouble?” And she ^[a]answered, “Truly I am a widow, for my husband is dead. ⁶ Your maidservant had two sons, but the two of them struggled together in the field, and there was no ^[b]one to separate them, so one struck the other and killed him. ⁷ Now behold, ^(A)the whole family has risen against your maidservant, and they say, ‘Hand over the one who struck his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed, ^(B)and destroy the heir also.’ Thus they will extinguish my coal which is left, so as to ^[c]leave my husband neither name nor remnant on the face of the earth.”
