2 Samuel 14:8 In-Context

6 Your servant had two sons, and they both fought in the open field, and there [was] no one {to part them}. One struck the other and killed him.

7 And look, all of the family has risen up against your servant, and they said, 'Give up the one who struck his brother, that we may kill him in exchange for the life of his brother whom he murdered. We will also wipe out the heir,' and so they would put out my embers which remain, by not preserving for my husband a name and a remnant on the face of the earth."

8 Then the king said to the woman, "Go to your house, and I myself will give the command concerning you."
