Absalom returns to Jerusalem 14. Joab, son of Zerulia, knew that the king's heart longed for Absalom. So Joab sent someone to Ticahua and had a wise woman brought from there. He said to her, pretend you are in the morning dress and morning clothes, and don't use any cosmetic lotions.
Starting point is 00:00:55 act like a woman who has spent many days grieving for the dead. Then go to the king and speak these words to him, and Joab put the words in her mouth. When the woman from Tocola went to the king, she fell with her face to the ground to pay him on her, and she said, help me, O king. The king asked her, what is troubling you? She said, I am indeed a widow.
Starting point is 00:01:25 My husband is dead. I, your servant, had two sons. They got to a fight with each other. In the field, and no one was there to separate them. One struck the other and killed him. Now the whole clan has risen up against your servant, they say. Hand over the one who struck his brother down so that we may put him to death for the life of his brother, whom he killed.
Starting point is 00:01:53 then we will get rid of the hair as well they would put out the only burning coal I have left leaving my husband neither neither name nor a descendant on the face of the earth the king said to the woman go home
Starting point is 00:02:18 and I will issue an order in your behalf but the woman from Toccoa said to him, My Lord the king, let the blame rest on me and on my father's family. My lord, the king, let the blame rest on me and I'm my father's family, and let the king on his throne be without guilt. The king replied, if anyone says anything to you, bring him to me, and he will not bother you again. She said,
Starting point is 00:02:49 then let the king invoke the Lord his God to prevent She said then let the king invoke the Lord his God to prevent the avenger A blood from adding to the destruction So that my son will not be destroyed As surely as the Lord lives he said Not one hair of your son's head will fall to the ground Then the woman said Let your servant speak a word
Starting point is 00:03:18 to my lord the king speak he replied the woman said why then have you devised a thing like this against the people of god when the king says this does he not convict to himself for the king has not brought back his banished son like water spilled on the ground which cannot be recovered so we must die but god does not bring back his banished son but god does that not take away life. Instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain as strange from him. And now I have come to say this to my lord, the king, because the people have made me afraid. His servant thought, I would speak to the king. Perhaps he will do what his servant asks. Perhaps the king will agree to deliver his servant from the hand of the man who was trying to cut off. both me and my son from the inheritance God gave us. And now your servant says, May the word of my Lord, the king bring me rest.
Starting point is 00:04:29 For my Lord, the king is like an angel of God in discerning good and evil. May the Lord your God be with you. Then the king said to the woman, Do not keep from me the answer to what I am going to ask you. Let my lord the king speak, the woman said. The king asked, isn't the hand of Joab with you in all this? The woman answered, I show as you live, my lord the king, now one can turn to the right or to the left from anything, my lord, the king says.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Yes, it was your servant, Joab, who instructed me to do this, and who put all these words into the mouth of your servant. Your servant, Joab, did this to change the present situation. My Lord has wisdom like that of an angel of God. He knows everything that happens in the land. The king said to Jealab, very well, I will do it. Go, bring back the young man, Ab, Salam. Jev fell with his face to the ground to pay him honor,
Starting point is 00:05:43 and he blessed the king. Joab said, Today your servant knows that he has found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, because the king has granted his servant's request. Then Joab went to Gishir and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem, but the king said, He must go to his own house. He must not see my face.
Starting point is 00:06:08 So Absalom went to his own house and did not see the face of the king. In all Israel, there was not a man so highly praised for his handsome appearance as Absalom. From the top of his head to the sole of his feet, there was no blemish in him. Whenever he cut the hair of his head, he used to cut his hair from time to time when it became too heavy for him. He would weigh its weight, its weight was 200 shekel. by the royal standard. Three sons and a daughter were born to Absalom.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Daughter's name was Tamar, and she became a beautiful woman. Absalom lived two years in Jerusalem without seeing the king's face. And Absalom sent for Joab in order to send him to the king, but Joab refused to come to him.
Starting point is 00:07:10 So he sent a second time, but he refused to come. Then he said to his servants, look, Joab's field is next to me, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire, so Absalom's servants set the field on fire. Then Joab did go to Absalom's house, and he said to him, why have your servant set my field on fire? Absalom said to Joab, look, I sent word to you and said, come here so I can send you. to the king to ask, why have I come from Gashir? It would be better for me if I were still alive. This is still there. Now then, I want to see the king's face. And if I am guilty of anything,
Starting point is 00:08:01 let him put me to death. So Joab went to the king and told him this, that then the king summoned Absalom.
