2 Samuel 14:6-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
6
And your servant had two sons, but the two of them fought in the field, and there was no one to save them from each other, so one struck the other and killed him.
7
Now behold, the entire family has risen against your servant, and they have said, ‘Hand over the one who struck his brother, so that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed, and eliminate the heir as well.’ So they will extinguish my coal which is left, so as to leave my husband neither name nor remnant on the face of the earth.'
8
Then the king said to the woman, 'Go to your home, and I will issue orders concerning you.'
9
The woman of Tekoa said to the king, 'My lord, the king, the guilt is on me and my father’s house, but the king and his throne are guiltless.'
King James Version
Chapter 14
6
And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and slew him.
7
And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote 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 quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth.
8
And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
9
And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 14
6
"Your servant had two sons. They were fighting in the field with no one to separate them, and one struck the other and killed him.
7
Now the whole clan has risen up against your servant and said, ‘Hand over the one who killed his brother so we may put him to death for the life of the brother he murdered. We will eliminate the heir!’ They would extinguish my one remaining ember by not preserving my husband’s name or posterity on earth."
8
The king told the woman, "Go home. I will issue a command on your behalf."
9
Then the woman of Tekoa said to the king, "My lord the king, may any blame be on me and my father’s family, and may the king and his throne be innocent."
New Living Translation
Chapter 14
6
My two sons had a fight out in the field. And since no one was there to stop it, one of them was killed.
7
Now the rest of the family is demanding, ‘Let us have your son. We will execute him for murdering his brother. He doesn’t deserve to inherit his family’s property.’ They want to extinguish the only coal I have left, and my husband’s name and family will disappear from the face of the earth.'
8
Leave it to me,' the king told her. 'Go home, and I’ll see to it that no one touches him.'
9
Oh, thank you, my lord the king,' the woman from Tekoa replied. 'If you are criticized for helping me, let the blame fall on me and on my father’s house, and let the king and his throne be innocent.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 14
6
And your servant had two sons, and they quarreled with one another in the field. There was no one to separate them, and one struck the other and killed him.
7
And now the whole clan has risen against your servant, and they say, ‘Give up the man who struck his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed.’ And so they would destroy the heir also. Thus they would quench my coal that is left and leave to my husband neither name nor remnant on the face of 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, "On me be the guilt, my lord the king, and on my father 's house; let the king and his throne be guiltless."
New International Version
Chapter 14
6
I your servant had two sons. They got into a fight with each other in the field, and no one was there to separate them. One struck the other and killed him.
7
Now the whole clan has risen up against your servant; they say, ‘Hand over the one who struck his brother down, so that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed; then we will get rid of the heir as well.’ They would put out the only burning coal I have left, leaving my husband neither name nor descendant on the face of the earth."
8
The king said to the woman, "Go home, and I will issue an order in your behalf."
9
But the woman from Tekoa said to him, "Let my lord the king pardon me and my family, and let the king and his throne be without guilt."
New King James Version

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 for 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

be
on me and on my father’s house, and the king and his throne
be
guiltless.”
