2 Samuel 14:1-2 ▼

1 Joab son of Zeruiah realized that the king’s mind was on Absalom.

2 So Joab sent someone to Tekoa to bring a wise woman from there. He told her, “Pretend to be in mourning: dress in mourning clothes and don’t put on any oil. Act like a woman who has been mourning for the dead for a long time.
