2 Samuel 14:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ Then the king said to her, “What is wrong?” And she answered, “I am indeed a widow, and my husband is dead.

⁶ “And your handmaid had two sons. And the two struggled together in the field. And there was no one to part them. So, one struck the other and killed him.

⁷ “And behold, the whole family arose against your handmaid. And they said, ‘Deliver him who struck his brother, so that we may kill him for the soul of his brother whom he killed, so that we may also destroy the heir.’ So shall they quench my ember which is left and shall not leave to my husband either name or posterity upon the Earth.”
