9And the woman of Tekoah said vnto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquitie bee on mee, and on my fathers house: and the king and his throne bee guiltlesse. 10And the king said, Whosoeuer saith ought vnto thee, bring him to mee, and he shall not touch thee any more. 11Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the Lord thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the reuengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my sonne. And he said, As the Lord liueth, there shall not one haire of thy sonne fall to the earth. 12Then the woman said, Let thine handmayd, I pray thee, speake one word vnto my lord the king. And hee said, Say on. 13And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? For the king doeth speake this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doeth not fetch home againe his banished.
