So the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.

1 Samuel 19:5

19:5 He risked his life when he struck down the Philistine and the Lord gave all Israel a great victory. When you saw it, you were happy. So why would you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death for no reason?”
