In context

¹Now Joab son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart longed for Absalom.

²So 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.

³Then go to the king and speak these words to him.” And Joab put the words in her mouth.
