4¶ And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, shee fell on her face to the ground, and did obeysance, and said, Helpe, O king. 5And the king said vnto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead. 6And thy handmayd had two sonnes, and they two stroue together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and slew him. 7And behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmayd, and they said, Deliuer him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew, and we will destroy the heire also: and so they shall quench my cole which is left, and shall not leaue to my husband neither name nor remainder vpon the earth. 8And the king saide vnto the woman, Goe to thine house, and I will giue charge concerning thee.
