2 Samuel 14:2-3

2So Joab sent ⌞someone⌟ to Tekoa to get a clever woman from there. He told her, “Please act like a mourner, and dress in mourning clothes. Don’t rub olive oil on yourself, but act like a woman who has been mourning for the dead for a long time.

3Go to the king, and tell him this. …” Then Joab told her exactly what to say.
