2 Samuel 14:6-8

Legacy Standard Bible

⁶ And your servant-woman had two sons, but the two of them struggled together in the field, and there was no one to deliver between them, so one struck the other and put him to death. ⁷ And behold, ^(A)the whole family has risen against your servant-woman, and they say, ‘Hand over the one who struck his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed, ^(B)and destroy the heir also.’ Thus they will extinguish my coal which remains, so as to ^[a]leave my husband neither name nor remnant on the face of the earth.”

⁸ Then the king said to the woman, “Go to your house, and I will give a command concerning you.”
