1 NOW Joab the son of, Zoriah perceived that the kings heart was reconciled toward Absalom. 2 And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched from thence a wise woman and said to her, Pretend to be a mourner and put on mourning apparel, and do not anoint yourself with oil, but be as a woman who has been mourning many days for the dead; 3 And come to the king and speak in this manner to him. So Joab prepared the words and put them in her mouth. 4 And when the woman of Tekoah came to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance and said, Deliver me, O my lord the king. 2 Samuel 14:1-4, Lamsa Bible.
