2 Samuel 12:9

2 Samuel 14:2

14:2 So Joab sent to Tekoa and brought from there a wise woman. He told her, “Pretend to be in mourning ³  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. ⁴ 

[12:9]  ¹ tc So the Qere; the Kethib has “his.”

[12:9]  ² tn Heb “to you for a wife.” This expression also occurs at the end of v. 10.

[14:2]  ³ tn The Hebrew Hitpael verbal form here indicates pretended rather than genuine action.
