2 Samuel 14:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Sent to Thecua, and fetched from thence a wise woman: and said to her: Feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, and be not anointed with oil, that thou mayest be as a woman that had a long time been mourning for one dead.

³ And thou shalt go in to the king, and shalt speak to him in this manner. And Joab put the words in her mouth.

⁴ And when the woman of Thecua was come in to the king, she fell before him upon the ground, and worshipped, and said: Save me, O king.
