2 Samuel 14:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ The woman from Tekoa said to the king, “On me, my lord the king—let the guilt be on me and on the house of my father. The king and his throne will be guiltless.”

¹⁰ The king said, “Bring to me anyone who speaks against you about this, and he will not contact you again.”

¹¹ She said, “Please, the king should remember the Lord your God and stop the avenger of blood from multiplying the killing, so that they do not destroy my son.”

David said, “As the Lord lives, not one hair of your son will fall to the ground.”
