2 Samuel 14:19-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
19 The king asked, “Did Joab put you up to[a] all this?”
The woman answered. “As you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or left from all my lord the king says. Yes, your servant Joab is the one who gave orders to me; he told your servant exactly what to say. 20 Joab your servant has done this to address the issue indirectly,[b] but my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the Angel of God, knowing everything on earth.”
21 Then the king said to Joab, “I hereby grant this request. Go, bring back the young man Absalom.”

2 Samuel 14:19-21
New International Version
19 The king asked, “Isn’t the hand of Joab(A) with you in all this?”
The woman answered, “As surely as you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything my lord the king says. Yes, it was your servant Joab who instructed me to do this and who put all these words into the mouth of your servant. 20 Your servant Joab did this to change the present situation. My lord has wisdom(B) like that of an angel of God—he knows everything that happens in the land.(C)”
21 The king said to Joab, “Very well, I will do it. Go, bring back the young man Absalom.”
