2 Samuel 14:2

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!”

5 Then the king said to her, “What troubles you?” And she answered, ^a“Indeed I am a widow, my husband is dead.
