And the woman, the Tekoite, will speak to the king and fall upon her face to the earth, and worship him, and say, Save, O king! And the king will say to her, What to thee? And she will say, Truly I a widow woman, and my husband will die. And to thy servant two sons, and they two will strive in the field, and none delivering between them; and the one will smite the one and kill him. And behold, all the family rose up against thy servant, and they will say, Give him striking his brother and we will kill him for the soul of his brother whom he slew; and they destroyed also the heir, and quenched my coal which was left, so that name was not set to my husband and remainder upon the face of the earth. And the king will say to the woman, Go to thy house and I will command concerning thee. And the woman, the Tekoite, will say to the king, Upon me, my lord the king, the iniquity, and upon my father's house: and the king and his throne innocent And the king will say, Who speaking to thee and bring him to me and he shall not add to touch upon thee. And she will say, The king will remember now, Jehovah thy God, the nearest relation of blood being multiplied to destroy, and they shall not destroy my son. And he will say, Jehovah living, if there shall fall from the hair of thy son to the earth. And the woman will say, Shall thy servant speak now a word to my lord the king? And the king will say, Speak. And the woman will say, And wherefore didst thou reckon according to this concerning the people of God? for the king speaks this word as transgressing for the king not to turn back his fugitive. For dying, we shall die, and as waters poured out on the earth, which will not be gathered; and God will not lift up the soul: and reckoning, he reckons that the fugitive shall not be driven out from him. And now that I came to speak to the king my lord, this word, for the people will see me, and thy servant will say, I will speak now to the king, perhaps the king will do the word of his servant For the king will hear to deliver his servant from the band of the man destroying me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. And thy servant will say, Now will the word of my lord the king be for a sacrifice, for as a messenger of God, so my lord the king to hear the good and the evil: and Jehovah thy God will be with thee. And the king will answer and say to the woman, Now thou shalt not hide from me the word which I ask thee. And the woman will say, Now will my lord the king speak? And the king will say, The hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman will answer and say, Thy soul living, my lord the king, if there is to the right or to the left from all which my lord the king spake: for thy servant Joab he commanded me, and he put in the mouth of thy servant all these words. For the sake of turning about the face of the word, thy servant Joab did this word: and my lord was wise according to the wisdom of a messenger of God, to know all which is upon the earth. And the king will say to Joab, Behold now, I did this word: and go and turn back the boy Absalom. And Joab will fall upon his face to the earth, and worship him, and bless the king: and Joab will say, This day thy servant knew that I found grace in thine eyes, my lord, O king, for that the king did the word of his servant And Joab will rise and go to Geshur and bring Absalom to Jerusalem And the king will say, He shall turn about to his house and not see my face.

And Absalom will turn to his house and not see the face of the king.
