2 Samuel 14:13-14

New International Version

¹³ The woman said, “Why then have you devised a thing like this against the people of God? When the king says this, does he not convict himself,^(A) for the king has not brought back his banished son?^{(B) 14} Like water^(C) spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die.^(D) But that is not what God desires; rather, he devises ways so that a banished person^(E) does not remain banished from him.
