Darby Translation
2 Samuel 14:12-14
Darby Translation
12 And the woman said, Let thy bondmaid, I pray thee, speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Speak.
13 And the woman said, Why then hast thou thought such a thing against God's people? and the king in saying this thing, is as one guilty, in that the king does not bring back his banished one.
14 For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; and God has not taken away his life, but devises means that the banished one be not expelled from him.

2 Samuel 14:12-14
New International Version
12 Then the woman said, “Let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.”
“Speak,” he replied.
13 The woman said, “Why then have you devised a thing like this against the people of God? When the king says this, does he not convict himself,(A) for the king has not brought back his banished son?(B) 14 Like water(C) spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die.(D) But that is not what God desires; rather, he devises ways so that a banished person(E) does not remain banished from him.
