And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead. 6 And your maidservant had two sons, and the two fought together in the field, and there was none to separate them, but one struck the other, and killed him. 7 And, behold, the whole family has risen against your maidservant, and they said, Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall extinguish my last remaining ember, and shall not leave to my husband either name or remnant on the earth. 8 And 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 the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless. 10 And the king said, Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he shall not touch you anymore. 11 Then she said, I pray you, let the king remember the LORD your God, that you would not allow the avenger of blood to destroy anymore, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of your son fall to the earth. 12 Then the woman said, Let your maidservant, I pray you, speak one word to my lord the king. And he said, Speak on. 13 And the woman said, Why then have you thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king speaks this thing as one who is at fault, in that the king does not bring home again his banished. 14 For we must die, and are as water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither does God take away life, but he devises means, so that his banished are not expelled from him. 15 Now therefore I have come to speak of this thing to my lord the king, because the people have made me afraid: and your maidservant said, I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his maidservant. 16 For the king will hear, to deliver his maidservant from the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. 17 Then your maidservant said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comforting: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD your God will be with you. 18 Then the king answered and said to the woman, Do not hide from me, I pray you, the thing that I shall ask you. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak. 19 And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with you in all this? And the woman answered and said, As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken: for your servant Joab, he commanded me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant: 20 To change the appearance of things your servant Joab has done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth. 21 And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again. 22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, Today your servant knows that I have found grace in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has fulfilled the request of his servant. 23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. 24 And the king said, Let him return to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and did not see the king's face.
