2 Samuel 14:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And Joab sent to Tekoa, and brought thence a [a]subtle woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to mourn, and now put on mourning apparel, and [b]anoint not thyself with oil: but be as a woman that had now long time mourned for the dead.
3 And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him, (for Joab [c]taught her what she should say).
4 ¶ Then the woman of Tekoa spake unto the king, and fell down on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, [d]Help, O King.
