So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband, - from Paltiel, son of Laish.

And her husband went along with her, weeping as he went behind her, as far as Behurim, - when Abner said unto him - Go, return. And he returned.

And, when Uriah's wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made loud lamentation over her lord.

And the king said to her - What aileth thee? And she said - Of a truth, a widow woman, am I, for my husband is dead.

Lo! therefore, all the family hath risen up against thy maidservant, and have said: Give up him that hath smitten his brother, that we may put him to death, for the life of his brother, whom he hath slain, that we may destroy, the heir also. So will they quench my ember that is left, and make my husband without name or remainder, on the face of the ground.
