18 Então ele respondeu, e disse à mulher: Eu te rogo que não me encubras nada do que eu te perguntar. E a mulher disse: Fale meu senhor o rei.
19 E o rei disse: Não foi a mão de Joabe contigo em todas estas coisas? E a mulher respondeu e disse: Vive tua alma, rei senhor meu, que não há que desviar-se à direita nem à esquerda de tudo o que meu senhor o rei falou: porque teu servo Joabe, ele me mandou, e ele pôs na boca de tua serva todas estas palavras.
20 E Joabe, teu servo o fez, modificando a aparência do assunto; mas meu senhor é sábio, conforme a sabedoria de um anjo de Deus, para conhecer o que há na terra.
21 Então o rei disse a Joabe: Eis que eu faço isto: vai, e faze voltar ao jovem Absalão.
22 E Joabe se prostrou em terra sobre seu rosto, e fez reverência, e depois que abençoou ao rei, disse: Hoje há entendido teu servo que achei favor em teus olhos, rei senhor meu; pois que fez o rei o que seu servo disse.
