2 Samuel 14:18-20

The Voice

David: ¹⁸ I’m going to ask you a question, and I want you to tell me the truth.

Woman of Tekoa: Ask me your question, my king.

David: ¹⁹ Has Joab put you up to this?

Woman of Tekoa: Of course you are right, my king. No one can fool you. It was your servant Joab who sent me and told me what to say to you. ²⁰ He did this because he hoped to change your situation with Absalom. But my lord, my king, is wise, as wise as a heavenly messenger of God who sees all that is happening on earth.
