2 Samuel 14:9-11

Living Bible

⁹ “Oh, thank you, my lord,” she replied. “And I’ll take the responsibility if you are criticized for helping me like this.”

¹⁰ “Don’t worry about that!” the king replied. “If anyone objects, bring him to me; I can assure you he will never complain again!”

¹¹ Then she said, “Please swear to me by God that you won’t let anyone harm my son. I want no more bloodshed.”

“I vow by God,” he replied, “that not a hair of your son’s head shall be disturbed!”
