10:014:007 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.

10:014:008 And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I
           will give charge concerning thee.

10:014:009 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.

10:014:010 And the king said, Whoever saith ought unto thee, bring him to
           me, and he shall not touch thee any more.

10:014:011 Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the lord thy
           God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to
           destroy any more, lest they destroy my son.  And he said, As
           the lord liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to
           the earth.

10:014:012 Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak
           one word unto my lord the king.  And he said, Say on.

10:014:013 And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a
           thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this
           thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch
           home again his banished.

10:014:014 For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground,
           which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect
           any person:  yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not
           expelled from him.

10:014:015 Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my
           lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: 
           and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may
           be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.

10:014:016 For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the
           hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out
           of the inheritance of God.

10:014:017 Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall
           now be comfortable:  for as an angel of God, so is my lord the
           king to discern good and bad:  therefore the lord thy God will
           be with thee.

10:014:018 Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from
           me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee.  And the
           woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
