2 Samuel 14:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ And the king said, “Is not the hand of Joab with you in all this?” Then the woman answered, and said, “As your soul lives, my lord the king, I will not turn, to the right or to the left, from anything that my lord the king has spoken. For your servant Joab commanded me. And he put all these words in the mouth of your handmaid.

²⁰ “For with the intent of changing appearances, your servant Joab has done this thing. But my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to understand all things that are on the Earth.”

²¹ And the king said to Joab, “Behold, now, I have done this thing. Go, then, and bring the young man Absalom back.”
