2 Samuel 14:11-13

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ Then she said, “Please, let the king remember the LORD your God, so that you would not allow revengers of blood to destroy anymore, lest they kill my son.” And he answered, “As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the earth.”

¹² Then the woman said, “Please, let your handmaid speak a word to my lord the king.” And he said, “Speak.”

¹³ Then the woman said, “Why, then, have you thought such a thing against the people of God? Or does the king speak as one who is at fault, in that he will not bring back his banished?
