But the woman from Tekoa said to him,“ You are my king and master. Please pardon me and my family. You and your royal family won’t be guilty of doing anything wrong.”

And the woman of Tekoa said to the king,“ On me be the guilt, my lord the king, and on my father’s house; let the king and his throne be guiltless.”

“ Oh, thank you, my lord the king,” the woman from Tekoa replied.“ If you are criticized for helping me, let the blame fall on me and on my father’s house, and let the king and his throne be innocent.”

The Tekoan woman said to the king,“ My lord the king, let any blame fall on me and on the house of my father. But let the king and his throne be innocent!”

The woman of Tekoa said to the king,“ My lord, O king, may the iniquity be on me, and on my father’s house; and may the king and his throne be guiltless.”

Their blood will come back on Joab’s head and on the head of his descendants forever, but for David, his descendants, his dynasty, and his throne, there will be peace from the Lord forever.”

All the people answered,“ His blood be on us and on our children!”

David heard about it later and said:“ I and my kingdom are forever innocent before the Lord concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner.May it hang over Joab’s head and his father’s whole house, and may the house of Joab never be without someone who has a discharge or a skin disease, or a man who can only work a spindle, or someone who falls by the sword or starves.”

“ If a murder victim is found lying in a field in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him,your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the victim to the nearby cities.The elders of the city nearest to the victim are to get a young cow that has not been yoked or used for work.The elders of that city will bring the cow down to a continually flowing stream, to a place not tilled or sown, and they will break its neck there by the stream.Then the priests, the sons of Levi, will come forward, for Yahweh your God has chosen them to serve Him and pronounce blessings in His name, and they are to give a ruling in every dispute and case of assault.All the elders of the city nearest to the victim will wash their hands by the stream over the young cow whose neck has been broken.They will declare,‘ Our hands did not shed this blood; our eyes did not see it.Lord, forgive Your people Israel You redeemed, and do not hold the shedding of innocent blood against them.’ Then they will be absolved of responsibility for bloodshed.You must purge from yourselves the guilt of shedding innocent blood, for you will be doing what is right in the Lord’s sight.

His mother said to him,“ Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey me and go get them for me.”

“ Do not defile the land where you are, for bloodshed defiles the land, and there can be no atonement for the land because of the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of the person who shed it.
