2 Samuel 14:18-20

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁸ Then the king answered and said to the woman, “Please do not hide anything from me that I am about to ask you.” And the woman said, “Let my lord the king please speak.” ¹⁹ So the king said, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” And the woman answered and said, “As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken. Indeed, it was ^(A)your servant Joab who commanded me, and it was he who put all these words in the mouth of your servant-woman; ²⁰ in order to change the appearance of things your servant Joab has done this thing. But my lord is wise, ^(B)like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know all that is in the earth.”
