2 Samuel 14:1-3

Jubilee Bible 2000

14 ¶ Now Joab, the son of Zeruiah, perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom.

² And Joab sent to Tekoa and brought an astute woman from there and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner and put on mourning apparel and do not anoint thyself with oil, but be as a woman that has mourned for a long time for someone who is dead

³ and come to the king and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.
