6 Now your ______________________

So they would ____________________ my __________ that is left,

8 Then the ________ said to the ____________,
“Go to your __________ and I will give ____________ concerning you.”
9 And the woman of __________ said to the king, “My ________, O king,
let the ______________ be on me and my father’s house, and the king and his throne be __________________.”

11 Then she said, “____________ let the king ________________
the ________ your ______, and do not ____________
the ______________ of blood to destroy anymore, lest they ______________ my son.”
And he said, “As the LORD __________, not one ________ of your son shall ________ to the ground.”
12 Therefore the woman said, “Please, let your ________________________ speak
________________ word to my lord the king.” And he said, “Say on.”
13 So the woman said: “Why then had you _______________ such a thing
against the ____________ of God? For the king speaks this thing as one who is ____________,

14 For we will surely ______ and become like ___________

17 Your maidservant said, ‘The word of my lord the king will now be _____________________; for as the ___________ of God,

18 Then the king ________________ and said to the woman, “Please do not _________ from me anything that I ask you.”

19 So the king said, “Is the hand of ________ with you in all this?” And the woman answered and said, “As you _________, my lord the king, no one can _________

For your servant Joab __________________ me,
and he put all these words in the _____________ of your maidservant.
20 To ____________ about this _____________
of ________________ your servant Joab has done this ____________;
but my lord is _________, according to the ____________ of the angel of God,

23 So Joab ___________ and went to ___________,
and _______________ Absalom

24 And the king said, “Let him ____________ to his own _____________,

25 Now in all ______________ there was no one who was ________________ as much as Absalom

27 To Absalom were born _____________ ____________,

30 So he said to his servants, “See, Joab’s _____________ is near __________,
