2 Samuel 14:7

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Now 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.”

World English Bible (WEB)

Behold, the whole family has risen against your handmaid, 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.”

Strong's King James

And, behold, the whole family{H4940} is risen{H6965}{(H8804)} against thine handmaid{H8198}, and they said{H559}{(H8799)}, Deliver{H5414}{(H8798)} him that smote{H5221}{(H8688)} his brother{H251}, that we may kill{H4191}{(H8686)} him, for the life{H5315} of his brother{H251} whom he slew{H2026}{(H8804)}; and we will destroy{H8045}{(H8686)} the heir{H3423}{(H8802)} also: and so they shall quench{H3518}{(H8765)} my coal{H1513} which is left{H7760}{(H8800)}, and shall not leave{H7604}{(H8738)} to my husband{H376} neither name{H8034} nor remainder{H7611} upon{H6440} the earth{H127}.

Young's Literal Translation

and lo, the whole family hath risen against thy maid-servant, and say, Give up him who smiteth his brother, and we put him to death for the life of his brother whom he hath slain, and we destroy also the heir; and they have quenched my coal which is left—so as not to set to my husband a name and remnant on the face of the ground.’

After a dramatic early morning encounter with King Jesus, I just couldn’t put my Bible down. The F.O.G took a hold of me and this website was born. Learn more about the F.O.G.
