7 And now the whole family has risen up against your maidservant, and they said, ‘Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may execute him afor the life of his brother whom he killed; and we will destroy the heir also.’ So they would extinguish my ember that is left, and leave to my husband neither name nor remnant on the earth.”
8 Then the king said to the woman, “Go to your house, and I will give orders concerning you.”
9 And the woman of Tekoa said to the king, “My lord, O king, let athe iniquity be on me and on my father’s house, band the king and his throne be guiltless.”
10 So the king said, “Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he shall not touch you anymore.”
11 Then she said, “Please let the king remember the Lord your God, and do not permit athe avenger of blood to destroy anymore, lest they destroy my son.” And he said, b“As the Lord lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground.”
