Contextual Overview
1 And Joab the son of Zeruiah knew that the king's heart was on Absalom. 2 And Joab sent to Tekoah and took a wise woman from there, and said to her, Pretend yourself to be a mourner now, and please put on garments of mourning. And do not anoint yourself with oil, and you shall be a woman mourning for one who died these many days. 3 And you shall go to the king and speak with him according to this word. And Joab put the words into her mouth. 4 And the woman of Tekoah spoke to the king, and fell on her face to the earth, and bowed and said, Save, O king! 5 And the king said to her, What shall be to you? And she said, Truly I am a widow woman, and my husband died. 6 And your servant had two sons. And the two of them fought in the field, and there was no deliverer between them. And the one struck the other, and killed him. 7 And, behold, the whole family has risen against your servant, and said, Give up him who struck his brother, and we shall kill him for the life of his brother whom he has slain. And we shall also destroy the heir. And they shall quench my coalwhich is left, so as not to set to my husband a name and remnant on the face of the earth. 8 And the king said to the woman, Go to your house, and I will give command concerning you. 9 And the woman of Tekoah said to the king, My lord, O king, let the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house; and the king and his throne shall be guiltless. 10 And the king said, Whoever speaks to you, you also shall bring him to me, then he shall not touch you any more.
