18Then the king answered and said to the woman, Do not hide from me, I pray you, the thing that I shall ask you. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
19And the king said, Is not 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 hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken: for your servant Joab, he commanded me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant:
20To change the appearance of things your servant Joab has done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
21And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.
