1 And Joab son of Zeruiah, knew that the king's heart was for Absalom.

2 And Joab will send to Tekoah and take from thence a wise woman, and he will say to her, Thou shalt mourn, and put on now garments of mourning, and thou shalt not be anointed with oil, and be thou as a woman this many days mourning for the dead:

3 And come to the king and speak to him according to this word. And Joab will put words in her mouth.
