Please, may the king call to mind Yahweh your God
"Please promise in the name of Yahweh your God"
the avenger of blood
"the man who wants to avenge my son's brother's death"
destroy anyone further
"cause anyone else to die." This is in addition to the brother who already died.
that they will not destroy my son
"that they will not kill my son" or "that they will not execute my son"
As Yahweh lives
"I promise you, as surely as Yahweh lives" or "In Yahweh's name I promise"
not one hair of your son will fall to the ground
"your son will be completely safe"
