2 Samuel 14:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ Then the king replied to the woman, “Go home and I’ll issue a special order just for you.”

⁹ But the woman from Tekoa told the king, “Your majesty, let any guilt for this be on me and on my ancestors’ household, and not on my king or his throne!”

¹⁰ The king replied, “Bring anyone who talks to you about this to me, and he certainly won’t be bothering^[a] you anymore!”
