2 Samuel 14:13-15
EasyEnglish Bible
13 The woman said, ‘I think that you have done a wrong thing like this against God's own people. You have not let your own son return to his home. He still lives in a foreign city. Because of what you have said to me, you show that you yourself are guilty. 14 We must all die one day. When that happens, we are like water that is poured on the ground. We cannot pick it up again. But God does not remove our lives from us. Instead, he finds a way to bring us back to him when we have gone far away.
15 My lord the king, I have told you this because the people have made me afraid. I thought to myself, “I will speak to the king. I do not deserve it, but perhaps he will do what I ask him to do.

2 Samuel 14:13-15
New International Version
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.
15 “And now I have come to say this to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. Your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king; perhaps he will grant his servant’s request.
