Lexham English Bible

⁹ The Tekoite woman said to the king, “On me, my lord the king, is the guilt, and on the house of my father, but the king on^[a] his throne is innocent.” ¹⁰ The king said, “Whoever has spoken to you, bring him to me, and he will not touch you again.” ¹¹ Then she said, “Please may the king remember Yahweh your God, to prevent the increase of blood avengers who kill,^[b] so that they not wipe out my son.” He said, “As Yahweh lives,^[c] surely not one hair shall fall from your son to the ground.”
