"Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was inclined toward Absalom."

“Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom.”
“Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom. ”
“Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom.”
“David Permits Absalom to Return to Jerusalem Now Joab son of Zeruiah realized that the king longed to see Absalom.”
“And Joab the son of Sarvia, understanding that the king's heart was turned to Absalom,”
“Now it was clear to Joab, the son of Zeruiah, that the king's heart was turning to Absalom.”
“Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom.”
Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was inclined toward Absalom.
So Joab sent to Tekoa and brought a wise woman from there and said to her, "Please pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning garments now, and do not anoint yourself with oil, but be like a woman who has been mourning for the dead many days;
then go to the king and speak to him in this manner." So Joab put the words in her mouth.
Now when the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground and prostrated herself and said, "Help, O king."
