2 Samuel 14:5-7

⁵“What troubles you?” the king asked her. “Indeed,” she said, “I am a widow, for my husband is dead.

⁶And your maidservant had two sons who were fighting in the field with no one to separate them, and one struck the other and killed him.

⁷Now the whole clan has risen up against your maidservant and said, ‘Hand over the one who struck down his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of the brother whom he killed. Then we will cut off the heir as well!’ So they would extinguish my one remaining ember by not preserving my husband’s name or posterity on the earth.”
