2 Samuel 14:13-15
Easy-to-Read Version
13 Then the woman said, “Why have you planned these things against the people of God? When you say these things, you show you are guilty because you have not brought back the son who you forced to leave home. 14 We will all die some day. We will be like water that is spilled on the ground. No one can gather this water back from the ground. You know God forgives people. God made plans for people who are forced to run away for safety—God does not force them to run away from him! 15 My lord and king, I came to say these words to you, because the people made me afraid. I said to myself, ‘I will talk to the king. Maybe the king will help me.

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.
