2 Samuel 14:8

Absalom’s Return to Jerusalem

7Now the whole clan has risen up against your maidservant and said, ‘Hand over the one who struck down his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of the brother whom he killed. Then we will cut off the heir as well!’ So they would extinguish my one remaining ember by not preserving my husband’s name or posterity on the earth.”8“Go home,” the king said to the woman, “and I will give orders on your behalf.”
