2 Samuel 14:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ The king said, “Did Joab tell you to say all these things?”

The woman answered, “As you live, my master the king, no one could avoid that question. You are right. Your servant Joab did tell me to say these things. ²⁰ Joab did it so you would see things differently. My master, you are wise like an angel of God who knows everything that happens on earth.”
