2 Samuel 14:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 Then the king answered, and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
19 And the king said, Is not [a]the hand of Joab with thee in all this? Then the woman answered, and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the King, I will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for even thy servant Joab bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid.
20 For to the intent that I [b]should change the form of speech, thy servant Joab hath done this thing: but [c]my lord is wise according to the wisdom of an Angel of God, to understand all things that are in the earth.
