Widow's » Were clothed in mourning after the decease of husbands
And Joab sent to Tekoah, and brought thence a wise woman, and said to her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:
And she put off from her, her widow's garments, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath: for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him for a wife.
And she arose and went her way and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead.
