2 Samweli 14:19-23
19
Mfalme akauliza, “Je, mkono wa Yoabu haupo pamoja nawe katika jambo hilo lote?” Huyo mwanamke akajibu, “Hakika kama uishivyo, bwana wangu mfalme, hakuna yeyote anayeweza kugeuka kulia wala kushoto kutokana na chochote anachosema bwana wangu mfalme. Naam, ni mtumishi wako Yoabu ndiye alinifundisha kufanya hivi, naye ndiye aliweka maneno haya yote kinywani mwa mtumishi wako.
20
Mtumishi wako Yoabu amefanya hivi ili kubadili hali iliyopo. Bwana wangu ana hekima kama ile ya malaika wa Mungu, hufahamu kila kitu kinachotokea katika nchi.”
21
Mfalme akamwambia Yoabu, “Vyema sana, nitalifanya jambo hili. Nenda, ukamlete kijana Absalomu.”
22
Yoabu akaanguka kifudifudi mpaka ardhini kumpa mfalme heshima, naye akambariki mfalme. Yoabu akasema, “Leo mtumishi wako anajua kuwa amepata kibali machoni pako, bwana wangu mfalme, kwa sababu mfalme amemjalia mtumishi wake ombi lake.”
23
Ndipo Yoabu akaenda hadi Geshuri akamrudisha Absalomu Yerusalemu.
