The Message
2 Samuel 14:9-11
The Message
9 “I’ll take all responsibility for what happens,” the woman of Tekoa said. “I don’t want to compromise the king and his reputation.”
10 “Bring the man who has been harassing you,” the king continued. “I’ll see to it that he doesn’t bother you anymore.”
11 “Let the king invoke the name of God,” said the woman, “so this self-styled vigilante won’t ruin everything, to say nothing of killing my son.”
“As surely as God lives,” he said, “not so much as a hair of your son’s head will be lost.”

11 She said, “Then let the king invoke the Lord his God to prevent the avenger(D) of blood from adding to the destruction, so that my son will not be destroyed.”
