2 Samuel 14:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ And thou shalt go in to the king, and shalt speak to him in this manner. And Joab put the words in her mouth.

⁴ And when the woman of Thecua was come in to the king, she fell before him upon the ground, and worshipped, and said: Save me, O king.

⁵ And the king said to her: What is the matter with thee? She answered: Alas, I am a widow woman: for my husband is dead.
