2 Samuel 14:1-2 ▼

1 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was drawn toward Absalom.

2 So Joab sent a messenger to Tekoa and brought a wise woman from there, and said to her, “Please follow mourning rites, and put on mourning garments now, and do not anoint yourself with oil but be like a woman who has been mourning for the dead for many days.
