2 Samuel 14:3
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Then go to the king and speak these words to him.” And Joab put the words in her mouth.
In context
1 Now Joab son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart longed for Absalom.
2 So Joab sent to Tekoa to bring a wise woman from there. He told her, “Please pretend to be a mourner; put on clothes for mourning and do not anoint yourself with oil. Act like a woman who has mourned for the dead a long time.
3 Then go to the king and speak these words to him.” And Joab put the words in her mouth.
4 When the woman from Tekoa went to the king, she fell facedown in homage and said, “Help me, O king!”
5 “What troubles you?” the king asked her. “Indeed,” she said, “I am a widow, for my husband is dead.
