2 Samuel 14:1-2 ▼

1 Now Joab, son of Zeruiah, knew how the king felt toward Absalom.

2 Joab sent to Tekoa and brought from there a wise woman, to whom he said: “Pretend to be in mourning. Put on mourning apparel and do not anoint yourself with oil, that you may appear to be a woman who has long been mourning someone dead.
