18 The king said to the woman, |Please don't refuse to answer the question I'm going to ask you.| The woman responded, |Please speak, Your Majesty.| 19 |Did Joab put you up to this?| the king asked. The woman answered, |I solemnly swear on your life, Your Majesty, you are absolutely right. Yes, your servant Joab ordered me [to do this]. He told me to say exactly what I said. 20 Your servant Joab has done this to portray the matter in a different light. You are as wise as God's Messenger, who knows everything on earth.| 2 Samuel 14:18-20, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
