Act like a woman who's been in mourning for the dead for many days. 3 Then go to the king and speak to him like this...| Then Joab told her what to say. 4 When the woman from Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, prostrating herself to address him, |Help, your majesty!| 5 The king asked her, |What's your problem?| |I've been a widowed woman ever since my husband died,| she answered. 2 Samuel 14:2-5, Intl.
