2 Samuel 14:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And the woman of Thecua said to the king: Upon me, my lord, be the iniquity, and upon the house of my father: but may the king and his throne be guiltless.

¹⁰ And the king said: If any one shall say ought against thee, bring him to me, and be shall not touch thee any more.

¹¹ And she said: Let the king remember the Lord his God, that the next of kin be not multiplied to take revenge, and that they may not kill my son. And he said: As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
