2 Samuel 14:1-4

14:1

Now Joab
<03097>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

perceived
<03045> (8799)

that the king's
<04428>

heart
<03820>

[was] toward Absalom
<053>_.

14:2

And Joab
<03097>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Tekoah
<08620>_,

and fetched
<03947> (8799)

thence a wise
<02450>

woman
<0802>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner
<056> (8693)_,

and put on
<03847> (8798)

now mourning
<060>

apparel
<0899>_,

and anoint
<05480> (8799)

not thyself with oil
<08081>_,

but be as a woman
<0802>

that had a long
<07227>

time
<03117>

mourned
<056> (8690)

for the dead
<04191> (8801)_:

14:3

And come
<0935> (8804)

to the king
<04428>_,

and speak
<01696> (8765)

on this manner
<01697>

unto him. So Joab
<03097>

put
<07760> (8799)

the words
<01697>

in her mouth
<06310>_.

14:4

And when the woman
<0802>

of Tekoah
<08621>

spake
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

she fell
<05307> (8799)

on her face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and did obeisance
<07812> (8691)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Help
<03467> (8685)_,

O king
<04428>_.
