2 Samuel 14:2

Context
14:2 So Joab sent to Tekoa and brought from there a wise woman. He told her, “Pretend to be in mourning¹ and put on garments for mourning. Don’t anoint yourself with oil. Instead, act like a woman who has been mourning for the dead for some time.²

2 Samuel 14:4

Context

14:4 So the Tekoan woman went³ to the king. She bowed down with her face to the ground in deference to him and said, “Please help me,⁴ O king!”

2 Samuel 14:9

Context
14:9 The Tekoan woman said to the king, “My lord the king, let any blame fall on me and on the house of my father. But let the king and his throne be innocent!”

¹tn The Hebrew Hitpael verbal form here indicates pretended rather than genuine action.

²tn Heb “these many days.”

³tc The translation follows many medieval Hebrew mss in reading וַתַּבֹא (vattavo’, “and she went”) rather than the MT וַתֹּאמֶר (vatto’mer, “and she said”). The MT reading shows confusion with וַתֹּאמֶר later in the verse. The emendation suggested here is supported by the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, some mss of the Targum, and Vulgate.

⁴tn The word “me” is left to be inferred in the Hebrew text; it is present in the Syriac Peshitta and Vulgate.
