2 Samuel 14:2-3
2 So Joab sent someone to Tekoa(A) to bring a clever(B) woman from there. He told her, “Pretend to be in mourning: dress in mourning clothes and don’t put on any oil.(C) Act like a woman who has been mourning for the dead for a long time.
3 Go to the king and speak these words to him.” Then Joab told her exactly what to say.
