In context

3Go in to the king and speak like this to him.” So Joab put the words in her mouth.

4When the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, showed respect, and said, “Help, O king!”

5The king said to her, “What ails you?” She answered, “Truly I am a widow, and my husband is dead.

6Your servant had two sons; and they both fought together in the field, and there was no one to part them, but the one struck the other and killed him.

7Behold, the whole family has risen against your servant, and they say, ‘Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and so destroy the heir also.’ Thus they would quench my coal which is left, and would leave to my husband neither name nor remainder on the surface of the earth.”
