Absalom Returns to Jerusalem
1 So Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was concerned aabout Absalom.
2 And Joab sent to aTekoa and brought from there a wise woman, and said to her, “Please pretend to be a mourner, band put on mourning apparel; do not anoint yourself with oil, but act like a woman who has been mourning a long time for the dead.
3 Go to the king and speak to him in this manner.” So Joab aput the words in her mouth.
4 And when the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she afell on her face to the ground and prostrated herself, and said, b“Help, O king!”
