2 Samuel 14:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Now the whole family has risen up against me, your humble servant. They demand that I give up the one who killed his brother so that he can be executed as punishment—even though that will take away my remaining son and only heir. So they would put out the last glowing ember of my fire and leave behind absolutely nothing of my husband or me.

David: ⁸ Go home, and I will give orders that will take care of this matter.

Woman of Tekoa: ⁹ O my lord, my king, I don’t want my situation to cause you any trouble. Just blame everything on me and my family.
